H.NotifyIcon

** This project is a continuation of the inactive base project to other platforms (WinUI/Uno.Skia.Wpf/Console) - ❤️ https://github.com/hardcodet/wpf-notifyicon ❤️ **

This is an implementation of a NotifyIcon (aka system tray icon or taskbar icon) for .Net Core 3.1/.Net 5/.Net 6 WPF/WinUI/Uno.Skia.WPF/Console platforms. It does not just rely on the Windows Forms NotifyIcon component, but is a purely independent control which leverages several features of the WPF/WinUI framework in order to display rich tooltips, popups, context menus, and balloon messages. It can be used directly in code or embedded in any XAML file.

Features

  • Notifications
  • Context menus
  • ICommand support
  • Design-time access
  • Dynamic icon generation

Usage

<Window
    xmlns:tb="http://www.hardcodet.net/taskbar" // WPF
    xmlns:tb="using:H.NotifyIcon" // WinUI
    >
    <tb:TaskbarIcon
        ToolTipText="ToolTip"
        IconSource="/Images/TrayIcons/Logo.ico"
        ContextMenu="{StaticResource TrayMenu}"
        MenuActivation="LeftOrRightClick"
        TrayPopup="{StaticResoure TrayStatusPopup}"
        PopupActivation="DoubleClick"
        TrayToolTip="{StaticResource TrayToolTip}"
        />
</Window>

Generated icons

Simple example: <img width="24" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3002068/163700914-ad61c54c-444c-485c-92df-73be5412109d.png">

<tb:TaskbarIcon GeneratedIconText="❤️" GeneratedIconForeground="Red">

Advanced example: <img width="19" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3002068/163702368-da5031c6-efa7-4c83-85b5-a0a3eaf8a0ca.png">

<tb:TaskbarIcon
    IconSource="/Icons/Error.ico"
    GeneratedIconText="5"
    GeneratedIconForeground="Black"
    GeneratedIconFontSize="9"
    GeneratedIconFontWeight="Bold"
    >

Design-Time Access

It is recommended to pin the designer icon for easy viewing. To do this, go to Taskbar Settings → Other system tray icons and enable this icon: <img width="412" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3002068/163700588-eb2ad5f2-45d0-4b6f-ad39-c66f96202cb5.png">
