Gtk# adding a context menu to "StatusIcon"

[sillv0r]

I'm trying to have a menu pop-up from when the user right clicks on the status icon. The icon shows up fine in gnome but the menu doesn't show. The console write works, so i know the event is getting fired.

Perhaps this has to do with the click event being perform async to the gui thread? If so, anyone know a good solution?


namespace Tempo.Client
{
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
Gtk.Application.Init ();

//
// Creating status icon.
//
Program.notification = Gtk.StatusIcon.NewFromStock(Gtk.Stock.Info);

//
// Registering method for callback.
//
Program.notification.PopupMenu += Program.onRightClick;

//
// Creating menu and adding items to it.
//
Program.contextMenu = new Gtk.Menu();
Program.contextMenu.Add(new Gtk.MenuItem("option one"));
Program.contextMenu.Add(new Gtk.MenuItem("option two"));

Gtk.Application.Run ();
}

private static void onRightClick(object sender, Gtk.PopupMenuArgs evt)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("testing");

//
// Args[0] == button clicked && Args[1] == Active Time?
//
Program.notification.PresentMenu(Program.contextMe nu, (uint)evt.Args[0], (uint)evt.Args[1]);
}

private static Gtk.StatusIcon notification;
private static Gtk.Menu contextMenu;
}
}

EDIT: Gtk# 2.10

Hrms, it doesn't look like it's the threading issue since the below didn't work either.


Gtk.Application.Invoke(
delegate(object sender2, System.EventArgs args)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("my delegate is being run.");
//
// Args[0] == button clicked && Args[1] == Active Time?
//
Program.notification.PresentMenu(Program.contextMe nu, (uint)evt.Args[0], (uint)evt.Args[1]);
});

Note that the text was printed to the console and the menu still isn't showing. =[

I had the same problem as you but solved it by adding showAll before PresentMenu:


popupMenu.ShowAll();
trayIcon.PresentMenu(popupMenu, (uint)args.Args[0], (uint)args.Args[1]);


I know this is an old post, but maybe someone else has the same problem.
