Detailed Description

The TrayIcon class creates an icon in the system tray.

The system tray (also known as the notification area) is a useful location for long-running but minimally-interacting applications to display status information.

This class uses QSystemTrayIcon or a home-grown solution ported from Qt Extended Desktop 2.

This class also handles the Dock menu on Mac OS X but not clicks on the Dock icon. Those are handled by the QtopiaDesktopApplication::macEventFilter() function.
