Adding JPopupMenu to the TrayIcon

I want to add JPopupMenu to the task bar as a TrayIcon (i.e systemTray.add(trayIcon)) but I haven't found a way to do so.From the docs the constructor of TrayIcon looks like :

public TrayIcon(Image image,
            String tooltip,
            PopupMenu popup)

Is there any way I can do this ?

回答1:

This is a known problem. There is a bug report, which contains the outline of a workaround. I've adapted that below:

// Build your popup menu
final JPopupMenu trayPopup = new JPopupMenu();
// I'm using actions, there are other ways of doing this.
trayPopup.add(someFantaticAction);

// Get your tray icon
trayIcon = new TrayIcon(icon, "My awesome application");

trayIcon.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {

    @Override
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
        maybeShowPopup(e);
    }

    @Override
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
        maybeShowPopup(e);
    }

    private void maybeShowPopup(MouseEvent e) {
        if (e.isPopupTrigger()) {
            trayPopup.setLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
            trayPopup.setInvoker(trayPopup);
            trayPopup.setVisible(true);
        }
    }
});

回答2:

For the current TrayIcon implementation, it is not possible to directly add a JPopupMenu or JMenu to TrayIcon. However, some people did manage to work around it by implementing a custom MouseListener which listens to right click only at the Trayicon. When the mouse is right-clicked, set location of the Popupmenu at event.getXOnScreen() and event.getYOnScreen() and setvisible it.

I can't see any issues with constructor public TrayIcon(Image image, String tooltip, PopupMenu popup), nor is Java7 on WinXp / Win7 (Win2003/2008)
