Am looking for a way to dynamically add menu items to a task bar icon
menu. And then once selected - I would like to get the title of the menu
item. The general idea is to read a text file:
Project1
Project2
Project3
Add those to the task bar menu, and when i select (for example)
Project2, I want to pass the string “Project2” to the code.
Also - Am wondering about how to get the menu to respond to the left
mouse button click - as opposed to the right one by default.
Firstly, take a look at the sample “bigdemo/bigdemo.rb” and look for the
class DemoTaskBarIcon. I think it demonstrates most of what you want to
do.

Define a method “create_popup_menu” in your TaskBarIcon subclass. This
will be called on each occasion that the menu is shown, so simply create
the menu with the appropriate items at any given time.
And then once selected - I would like to get the title of the menu
item.
Use evt_menu to get the menu item selected, then use Wx::Menu#get_label
to get the text string for that item. Imagine that in create_popup_menu
you store the menu as an instance variable @menu, you could do the
following in your TaskBarIcon initialize method to capture all menu
events and show the text label.
evt_menu(Wx::ID_ANY) do | event |
puts @menu.label(event.id)
end

use evt_taskbar_left_down or evt_taskbar_left_up. Take a look at the
TaskBarIcon and Menu documentation - I think this should all be covered,
but please get in touch if anything’s not clear.
