I'm trying to capture the click even on a tray icon click with a context menu on OSX, but according to the docs this is disabled in OSX for some reason:
Platform limitations:
On OS X clicked event will be ignored if the tray icon has context menu.
I've wondering if there is another way to know when a tray icon with a context menu is interacted with?
Relavent code:
var app = require('app');
var path = require('path')
var Menu = require('menu');
var MenuItem = require('menu-item');
var Tray = require('tray');
var appIcon = null;
var menu = null;
app.on('ready', function(){
appIcon = new Tray(path.join(__dirname, 'images/icon.png'));
appIcon.on('clicked', function(event, bounds) {
console.log('clicked');
});
menu = new Menu();
menu.append(new MenuItem({ label: 'Quit', id: 'quit', click: function() { app.quit(); } }));
appIcon.setContextMenu(menu);
});
Now it works on OS X (10.11.4).
Please check. main.js:
// Load in dependencies
var app = require('app');
var Tray = require('tray');
// When the Electron has loaded
app.on('ready', function onready () {
// Log to the console to verify logging works
console.log('Hello World!');
// Create a tray
var tray = new Tray(__dirname + '/icon.png');
// When the tray icon is clicked, log to our console
tray.on('click', function handleClicked () {
console.log('Tray clicked');
});
});
Run:
electron main.js
