Hi Team,

I'm trying to add a RadNotifyIcon into my telerik wpf project, but it keeps throwing the error  below in xaml file

"the name RadNotifyIcon does not exist in the current namespace".

    <telerik:RadNotifyIcon x:Name="NotifyIcon"
                                       ShowTrayIcon="False"
                                       TrayIconSource="/NotifyIcon;component/Icons/TelerikWPFNotifyIcon.ico"
                                       PopupContentTemplate="{StaticResource NotifyIconPopupContentTemplate}" />

I did follow the below options , but still not working.

1. clean and rebuild project
2. adding reference to the telerik.windows.controls and telerik.windows.controls.navigation
3. deleting obj and bin folder and rebuild project
4. close and open visual studio
5. restart my windows 
6. change build platform to x86 from anycpu and vice versa.

the visual studio version I'm using is Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current, Version 17.4.3

Any suggestion will be helpful.

Thanks,

Lenin.

H, I show a balloon tip with a text that is larger than the default size of notification area and I can't see all the text. I tried also with Configurator Example with the same result.
Is there a way to show a large text in balloon tip?
Thank you

Hi,

What I'm tryin to do is create an App that starts hidden (without a RadWindow) and when you click on a context menu of NotifyIcon it shows a RadWindow. I've tried several options and none work correctly.

What would be the best approach for this scenario?

Thanks

Hello,
I'm using a notifyIcon in my application and it doesn't work, but I saw that also the samples included in  "Progress Telerik UI for WPF"  don't work.
Maybe there is a windows 10 setting? I look in the settings of tray notification area but I didn't see any setting that can disable the working.

Thank you

Luigi

Hi,

When developing my WPF application using the RadNotifyIcon, I often catch myself stopping Visual Studio rather than selecting the close application menu option. This results in the tray icon not being removed. When you then restart a debugging session the old icon prevents a new icon from being created as I have a fixed appId. However, as soon as you hover over it, the icon disappears.

Everything is happening per design and in release mode where you have to close the application, everything works fine. This is just some development time frustration.

Is there a way to check on startup if the icon exists (previous remnant) and if so first clear it before creating the new icon? Alternatively, is there a "fool-proof" way to detect ungraceful application close (e.g. stop debugging in VS) to first clear the icon? 

Hi,

I'm trying to simulate having an application that just runs from the system tray icon.

I can get the NotifyIcon to appear but if i set the main window to hidden it disappears, which makes sense as its part of that main window.

Is there any way to have the NotifyIcon visible but have the window it is part of hidden?

Cheers,

Hello,

I'm using the Progress Telerik UI for WFP sample application (R1 2021 SP1) to review the capabilities of RadNotifyIcon.

Unfortunately, the balloon features are not working at all for me. For example, navigating to the "Notify Icon Configurator" sample app, the "Show balloon" and "Hide balloon" both do nothing.

Everything else seems fine - the icon is visible, and the popup features are working. Just the balloon messages are not.

I'm running the latest build of Windows 10 with two 4k monitors are 200% scaling.

Any thoughts on a fix or workaround would be appreciated.

We are working on project and using Telerik with MVVM approach using Prism framework.
We want to notify user about some tasks or messages for which we have used RadNotifyIcon.
We are able to notify user but we want to give a link in the notification on click of which user will be redirected to some internal Menu page(a XAML page within the application).
For Menu control we have used Rad Navigation View(Hamburger Menu) and it is working fine when navigated from one menu to another.
We are facing a challenge in achieving the same using PRSIM MVVM approach. We are not getting the click event(Command) of the hyperlink present in NotifyIcon to ViewModel to navigate to the view.
Kindly help us to achieve this. Below is our code let us know where are we going wrong or is there any other way to navigate to existing view using Radnotifyicon link click?

We have tried RadHyperlink control as well as RadRadioButton. Both are not working

Hi,

Is there any way to display the new NotifyIcon in an application that doesn't have any window?

I tried putting it in app.xaml like this:

And then in App.xaml.cs:

But the icon does not display...

We are currently using Hardcodet.NotifyIcon.Wpf package for this, and with that component this kind of code works, but we would like to use the Telerik component instead!

Regards
Andreas
