Thread: rtl (right to left) system tray popup menu items

How I can arrange the menu items in the system tray rtl?

 
TrayIcon trayIcon;
    SystemTray tray;
 
    Image getIcon() {
        return Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("pic/kabe.jpg"));
    }
 
    public void HideToSystemTray() {
//        //System.out.println("creating instance");
        try {
//            //System.out.println("setting look and feel");
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            //System.out.println("Unable to set LookAndFeel");
        }
        if (SystemTray.isSupported()) {
            //System.out.println("system tray supported");
            tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
 
//            Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("pic/kabe.jpg");
            MenuItem defaultItem = new MenuItem();
 
//            defaultItem.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
//            defaultItem.applyComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
            defaultItem.setFont(new java.awt.Font("B Nazanin", 1, 14));
            PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu();
//            defaultItem.setComponentOrientation( ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT );
//            popup.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
 
            defaultItem = new MenuItem("نمايش فرم");
            defaultItem.setFont(new java.awt.Font("B Nazanin", 1, 14));
            popup.add(defaultItem);
 
            defaultItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    setVisible(true);
                    setExtendedState(JFrame.NORMAL);
                }
            });
 
            popup.addSeparator();
            defaultItem = new MenuItem("درباره ما");
            defaultItem.setFont(new java.awt.Font("B Nazanin", 1, 14));
            popup.add(defaultItem);
 
            defaultItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    Info info = new Info();
                    info.setVisible(true);
                }
            });
 
            popup.addSeparator();
 
            ActionListener exitListener = new ActionListener() {
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    //System.out.println("Exiting....");
                    System.exit(0);
                }
            };
            defaultItem = new MenuItem("خروج");
            defaultItem.setFont(new java.awt.Font("B Nazanin", 1, 14));
            popup.add(defaultItem);
            defaultItem.addActionListener(exitListener);
 
            popup.add(defaultItem);
 
            trayIcon = new TrayIcon(getIcon(), "azan", popup);

                    setExtendedState(JFrame.NORMAL);
                }
            });
 
        } else {
            //System.out.println("system tray not supported");
        }
//        setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("pic/kabe.jpg"));
 
        setVisible(true);
 
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//        trayIcon.displayMessage("Hello, World", "notification demo", MessageType.NONE);
    }

What happens now?

i can't set right to left MenuItem in system try or add icon for them

What happens now when the code is executed? How are icons positioned?

How can the code be compiled and executed for testing? It is missing imports, class and main method.

This is all code, just change pic name to your picture (pic/kabe.jpg) and call HideToSystemTray(); in a button you to execute the code
The code executes correctly but i can't find set icon and set to right to left command for MenuItem
These are the required libraries

 
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.MenuItem;
import java.awt.PopupMenu;
import java.awt.SystemTray;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.TrayIcon;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.UIManager;

and create new jframe named info
and for formWindowStateChanged use this code

 
if (evt.getNewState() == ICONIFIED) {
            try {
                tray.add(trayIcon);
                setVisible(false);
                //System.out.println("added to SystemTray");
            } catch (AWTException ex) {
                //System.out.println("unable to add to tray");
            }
        }
        if (evt.getNewState() == 7) {
            try {
                tray.add(trayIcon);
                setVisible(false);
                //System.out.println("added to SystemTray");
            } catch (AWTException ex) {
                //System.out.println("unable to add to system tray");
            }
        }
        if (evt.getNewState() == MAXIMIZED_BOTH) {
            tray.remove(trayIcon);
            setVisible(true);
            //System.out.println("Tray icon removed");
        }
        if (evt.getNewState() == NORMAL) {
            tray.remove(trayIcon);
            setVisible(true);
            //System.out.println("Tray icon removed");
        }

after minimize form system tray is activated

Sorry, that code does not compile for testing. Can you make a small, complete program that compiles, executes and shows the problem?

I'll be Back tomorrow.

https://filebin.net/kjon07425x38shil...rar?t=vb0k2p2m

this is compiled but menu items don't get right to left

Please post the code here, not a link.

What do I need to do to test the code?
It compiles and shows a window in the upper left corner of my screen.
An image is shown on System Taskbar
These messages are printed:

creating instance
setting look and feel
system tray supported

Now what?

The code has no comments describing what it is supposed to do and how it is going to do it.

I want the menus to be right-aligned and have an icon back to each menu

What does "right-aligned" mean? Do you mean you want the menuitems arranged horizontally instead of vertically?
Do you know of any menus that arrange their menuItems horizontally?

In some languages, such as English, the text Start from left to right, but in some languages, such as Arabic or Persian, the text starts from right to left. For example in the text box we use this code

textField.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);

or for jmenu we use this codes

Menu1.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
jMenu1.setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.SwingConstants.RIGHT);

but this codes not working in system tray
like this picture

https://files.rtl-theme.com/products...8b6738b9bc.jpg

Ok, are you asking how to right align text within a menuitem?
Sorry, I have no ideas for that. Best ask somewhere that there are more international helpers that could have the knowledge for that.


A work-around could be to add leading spaces to force the contents to the right.

i find solution
use this libraris

import java.awt.ComponentOrientation;
import java.awt.EventQueue;

create a new project and new jframe an use this code inside source after

use this codes in Jframe WindowStateChange

if (evt.getNewState() == ICONIFIED) {
            //System.out.println("unable to add to tray");
 
            systemtray();
            setVisible(false);
        }
        if (evt.getNewState() == 7) {
            //System.out.println("unable to add to system tray");
 
            systemtray();
            setVisible(false);
        }
        if (evt.getNewState() == MAXIMIZED_BOTH) {
            SystemTray.getSystemTray().remove(ti);
            popup.removeAll();
            popup.setVisible(false);
            setVisible(true);
            //System.out.println("Tray icon removed");
        }
        if (evt.getNewState() == NORMAL) {
            SystemTray.getSystemTray().remove(ti);
            popup.removeAll();
            popup.setVisible(false);
            setVisible(true);
            //System.out.println("Tray icon removed");
        }

call systemtray(); in main
run project and after minimize NewJFrame tray icon activated

Thank you for posting the solution.
