How to create TrayIcon programmatically?

[wl2776]

Hi all! I have just started using Avalonia UI.

My goal is to enable system tray icon of an application, depending on preferences read from config file on startup.

Currently I've found an example that makes it always enabled.

Could you provide a sample of code in C#, that creates TrayIcon?

You can do something like this.

var icons = new TrayIcons
{
	new TrayIcon
	{
		Icon = new WindowIcon(new Bitmap(AssetLoader.Open(new Uri("avares://SmartbinderUI/Assets/avalonia-logo.ico")))),
		Menu = [
			new NativeMenuItem("Settings")
			{
				Menu = new NativeMenu
				{
					new NativeMenuItem("Option 1"),
					new NativeMenuItem("Option 2"),
					new NativeMenuItemSeparator(),
					new NativeMenuItem("Option 3")
				}
			}
		]
	}
};

TrayIcon.SetIcons(Application.Current, icons);

And to remove it.

TrayIcon.SetIcons(Application.Current, null);
