QtRuby: system tray

Andrew Lepyokhin

Hello, fellow rubyists!
I need an ability to hide my Qt-based app in tray and unhide it back :)
I've read C examples at
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/desktop-sy...
but couldn't understand it enough to translate it in ruby.
If someone has done this before or can explain how to use the above
example, please help me.

Andrew

It's all about the QSystemTrayIcon class. Use the #hide and #show methods
to hide it and make it reappear.

Thank you, Ken, i started to get it, but here's a problem:
t = Qt::SystemTrayIcon.new
t.setIcon('icon.png')
results in error:
`method_missing': undefined method `setIcon' for #<Qt::SystemTrayIcon:

setIcon requires a Qt::Icon, not the name of the icon file. You can do this:

t.setIcon(Qt::Icon.new('icon.png'))

You can also write this in a more rubish way:

t.icon = Qt::Icon.new('icon.png')
