Menu Bar Apps Using QT

Question

Was wondering if using QT is it possible to make menu bar / task bar apps, like The menubar apps described here http://blog.shpakovski.com/2011/07/cocoa-popup-window-in-status-bar.html.

I'm aware of the various system tray icons that can trigger dialogs and open windows, but was curious to see if a full app / dialog could be integrated. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This is an interesting question, I've never thought about doing this before. After some quick googling, I located the following answer:

System Tray Example QT 4.8
System Tray Example QT 5

I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, but it appears that you can integrate an entire window application to this system tray icon. It's at least a start to writing a tray icon program.

EDIT: updated links to new docs.
