QSystemTrayIcon and Signals

[JediSpam]

I'm having trouble understanding signals/slots while implementing QSystemTrayIcon. I have been going over the Signal/Slot documentation in Qt Doc as well as a nice example for QSystemTrayIcon available http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/desktop-systray.html. I am creating a simple dialog and want my systemtrayicon to always be visible.

What am I going to want in place of "showIconCheckBox"? I don't need a checkbox because I want my condition to always be true. I understand the rest of the syntax of this line of code except this.

connect(showIconCheckBox, SIGNAL(toggled(bool)),trayIcon, SLOT(setVisible(bool)));

connect(showIconCheckBox, SIGNAL(toggled(bool)),trayIcon, SLOT(setVisible(bool)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Likewise with this line. What am I going to want in place of iconComboBox? Do I even need anything?

connect(iconComboBox, SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(int)),this, SLOT(setIcon(int)));

connect(iconComboBox, SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(int)),this, SLOT(setIcon(int)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thanks again!

You don't need any of those connections. If you want the tray icon to be visible then call setIcon() and show().
