Add options to an AppDocky?

Hi how do I use 'DOCKYGET_ContextMenu' to add a couple of options (alas AmiUpdate) to my program, allready used 'RegisterApp...' using applicaciotn.library and it shows my program in AmiDock with only one option 'Quit', and I would like to add 'Option1' and 'Option2' to such context menu.

AOs4 wiki (http://wiki.amigaos.net/index.php/The_Docks_and_Dockies) shows some code, but still don't know where/how to put/add such code. Must I first "link" (like in app_lib/TestApp.c 'DummyDocky.c') my programm to my AppDocky or what?

TIA

Ok did some tests, but I don't know where

  1. ..Object *item1 = PopupMenuItemObject, ..

'PopupMenuItemObject' comes from, can someone enlight me?

Is there a way to add items to AppDock's contextmenu (not a Docky)? :-/

TIA

Take a look at

Take a look at this:

http://sourceforge.net/p/qtamigaosnative/code/132/tree/trunk/src/gui/util/qsystemtrayicon_amiga.cpp?format=raw

Basically what you have to do is create a library interface that implements the functions mentioned in the docky.library autodoc. Then AmiDock will call these functions when appropriate. You are probably mostly interested in these items:

DOCKYGET_RenderMode
DOCKYGET_Icon
DOCKYGET_ContextMenu

DOCKYSET_ContextMenuResult

As you can see, it is a lot of code for a simple menu (even when you sort away all the redundant Qt code), which is just the way things are. If in doubt, ask! :)

Hi. Now I have contextmenu

Hi. Now I have contextmenu with some items :-)

But how to "interconnect" the DOCKY (seems it's a separated task/process) with my main (mixer) program/task/process?

Via Messages and Ports? (http://wiki.amigaos.net/index.php/Exec_Messages_and_Ports)

Does amidock/docky has some in-built function for such purpose?

My main problem now, from the AppDocky it works for rising/lowering/muting volume without problem, but to UNICONIFY mixer, it tries to create a new mixer instace, instead of uniconifying the already existing.
Or maybe is some bad/missing code inside mixer? (I think this is the culprit)
