Two things about TrayItem [message #436381]

Hello,

I've noticed that after my application quits, the icon associated with the
TrayItem still remains in the tray. If I move the mouse over it, it goes
away, but not until then. This seems to be the case on all versions of
Windows.

Also, the Menu does not go away properly either. It seems to require you to
click at least one item in the menu before it cancels it. This is *really*
disruptive to users because the menu will be floating around and they don't
know how to get rid of it. Clicking on something other than it doesn't even
work!

Is there a solution to either of these problems?

David,

To solve the first problem you need to dispose() your created TrayItem(s)
before you exit your application.

Please log a bug report for the second problem with Platform - SWT.

Thanks. I thought I was disposing it, but I'll look into it again. I'll
log a bug report for the second.

When the display is disposed, the tray items will get cleaned up. Are you
disposing the Display?

>> David,

Thank you both. That was the problem. I did have a dispose call but I
inadvertently called System.exit one place that obviously prevented the
dispose method from getting called. Thanks!
