In this recipe, we will make a small TrayIcon application that acts as a timer, which pops up a notification every time a set amount of time has elapsed.

TaskBarIconobject to manage our alarm notifications, as follows:class AlarmIcon(wx.TaskBarIcon): def __init__(self, topWindow): super(AlarmIcon, self).__init__() self._topWindow = topWindow self._timer = wx.Timer(self) self._duration = 10 ...
