Hey all,

Kind of new to this mailing list and only messed with python a bit.

Want to create a taskbar icon that I can click on and run backup bat file,
found some code on internet that does this using wx libraries. But when i
run it the dos (black box) stays open how can i get rid of this?

Thanks


Code:
import sys, wx, os

ID_ICON_TIMER = wx.NewId()

OPEN_BACKUP=wx.NewId()
# OPEN_PREFS=wx.NewId()
SYS_OUT="";
BACKY="";

class MailTaskBarIcon(wx.TaskBarIcon):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.TaskBarIcon.__init__(self)

        self.parentApp = parent
        self.noMailIcon = wx.Icon("nomail.png",wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)

        self.youHaveMailIcon =
wx.Icon("mail-message-new.png",wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)
        self.CreateMenu()
        self.SetIconImage()


    def CreateMenu(self):
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP, self.ShowMenu)

        """ Setup binds from butttons to commands """
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.parentApp.OpenBackup, id=OPEN_BACKUP)
        # self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.parentApp.OpenPrefs, id=OPEN_PREFS)

        self.menu=wx.Menu()
        self.menu.Append(OPEN_BACKUP, "BackupFiles","This will backup your
files.")

        # self.menu.Append(OPEN_PREFS, "Open Preferences")
        self.menu.AppendSeparator()
        self.menu.Append(wx.ID_EXIT, "Close App")


    def ShowMenu(self,event):
        self.PopupMenu(self.menu)

    def SetIconImage(self, BACKY=False):
        if BACKY:
            self.SetIcon(self.youHaveMailIcon, SYS_OUT)
        else:
            self.SetIcon(self.noMailIcon, SYS_OUT)

"""
Main functionality of software, sets up software taskbar icon and all the
rest
action of buttons open backup
"""
class MailFrame(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title, size = (1, 1),
            style=wx.FRAME_NO_TASKBAR|wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE)
        self.tbicon = MailTaskBarIcon(self)
        self.tbicon.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.exitApp, id=wx.ID_EXIT)
        self.Show(True)

    def exitApp(self,event):
        self.tbicon.RemoveIcon()
        self.tbicon.Destroy()
        sys.exit()

    def OpenBackup(self,event):
        BACKY=True
        fs=os.system("F:\+Christian\Backup.bat")
    SYS_OUT=SYS_OUT = fs

    #def OpenPrefs(self,event):
    #    pass


#---------------- run the program -----------------------
def main(argv=None):
    app = wx.App(0)
    frame = MailFrame(None, -1, 'Backup Files')
    frame.Center(wx.BOTH)
    frame.Show(False)
    app.MainLoop()

if __name__ == '__main__':

    main()
