Tray Icon

Library that allows use Tray Icon in WPF Application. Ported from Windows Forms. Has wrapper for WPF ContexMenu (which converts it to Windows Forms ContextMenu). This is needed for good performance, and compatibility. This library targets all MVVM requirements:

  • it has bindable properties
  • it has interface with notify methods

Patch details (1.0.7.*)

  • Added events integration.
  • Fixed ClickCommand and DoubleClickCommand behaviors.

Getting started.

First you need to include namespace to your code or markup.

For XAML it can look like:

<Window xmlns:icon="https://github.com/nullsoftware/TrayIcon" />

And for C#:

using NullSoftware.ToolKit;

Then you can place tray icon inside your window, or keep it in variable/property. For XAML:

<icon:TrayIconHandlers.TrayIcons>
    <icon:TrayIcon Title="My Application"
                   IconSource="MainIcon.ico"
                   ClickCommand="{Binding ExampleCommand}"
                   NotificationServiceMemberPath="NotificationService"/>
</icon:TrayIconHandlers.TrayIcons>

For C#:

TrayIcon MyTrayIcon = new TrayIcon() 
{ 
    Title = "My Application",
    IconSource = new BitmapImage(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/MainIcon.ico")),
    ClickCommand = new RelayCommand(ExampleAction)
};

To show balloon you need to call Notify method:

INotificationService notifyService = MyTrayIcon;
notifyService.Notify("Greetings", "Hello World!", NotificationType.Information);

Note: INotificationService can be obtained from XAML by using NotificationServiceMemberPath. It injects INotificationService to specified DataContext property.
