```
public class TrayIcon
extends Object
```
A TrayIcon object represents a tray icon that can be added to the system tray. A TrayIcon can have a tooltip (text), an image, a popup menu, and a set of listeners associated with it.
A TrayIcon can generate various MouseEvents and supports adding corresponding listeners to receive notification of these events. TrayIcon processes some of the events by itself. For example, by default, when the right-mouse click is performed on the TrayIcon it displays the specified popup menu. When the mouse hovers over the TrayIcon the tooltip is displayed.
Note: When the MouseEvent is dispatched to its registered listeners its component property will be set to null. (See ComponentEvent.getComponent()) The source property will be set to this TrayIcon. (See EventObject.getSource())
Note: A well-behaved TrayIcon implementation will assign different gestures to showing a popup menu and selecting a tray icon.
A TrayIcon can generate an ActionEvent. On some platforms, this occurs when the user selects the tray icon using either the mouse or keyboard.
If a SecurityManager is installed, the AWTPermission accessSystemTray must be granted in order to create a TrayIcon. Otherwise the constructor will throw a SecurityException.
See the SystemTray class overview for an example on how to use the TrayIcon API.

- Method Detail
  - setImage
```
public void setImage(Image image)
```
    Sets the image for this TrayIcon. The previous tray icon image is discarded without calling the Image.flush() method — you will need to call it manually.
    If the image represents an animated image, it will be animated automatically.
    See the setImageAutoSize(boolean) property for details on the size of the displayed image.
    Calling this method with the same image that is currently being used has no effect.
    
    Parameters:
    image - the non-null Image to be used
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if image is null
    See Also:
    getImage(), Image, SystemTray.add(TrayIcon), TrayIcon(Image, String)
  - getImage
```
public Image getImage()
```
    Returns the current image used for this TrayIcon.
    
    Returns:
    the image
    See Also:
    setImage(Image), Image
  - setPopupMenu
```
public void setPopupMenu(PopupMenu popup)
```
    Sets the popup menu for this TrayIcon. If popup is null, no popup menu will be associated with this TrayIcon.
    Note that this popup must not be added to any parent before or after it is set on the tray icon. If you add it to some parent, the popup may be removed from that parent.
    The popup can be set on one TrayIcon only. Setting the same popup on multiple TrayIcons will cause an IllegalArgumentException.
    Note: Some platforms may not support showing the user-specified popup menu component when the user right-clicks the tray icon. In this situation, either no menu will be displayed or, on some systems, a native version of the menu may be displayed.
    
    Parameters:
    popup - a PopupMenu or null to remove any popup menu
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the popup is already set for another TrayIcon
    See Also:
    getPopupMenu()
  - getPopupMenu
```
public PopupMenu getPopupMenu()
```
    Returns the popup menu associated with this TrayIcon.
    
    Returns:
    the popup menu or null if none exists
    See Also:
    setPopupMenu(PopupMenu)
  - setToolTip
```
public void setToolTip(String tooltip)
```
    Sets the tooltip string for this TrayIcon. The tooltip is displayed automatically when the mouse hovers over the icon. Setting the tooltip to null removes any tooltip text. When displayed, the tooltip string may be truncated on some platforms; the number of characters that may be displayed is platform-dependent.
    
    Parameters:
    tooltip - the string for the tooltip; if the value is null no tooltip is shown
    See Also:
    getToolTip()
  - getToolTip
```
public String getToolTip()
```
    Returns the tooltip string associated with this TrayIcon.
    
    Returns:
    the tooltip string or null if none exists
    See Also:
    setToolTip(String)
  - setImageAutoSize
```
public void setImageAutoSize(boolean autosize)
```
    Sets the auto-size property. Auto-size determines whether the tray image is automatically sized to fit the space allocated for the image on the tray. By default, the auto-size property is set to false.
    If auto-size is false, and the image size doesn't match the tray icon space, the image is painted as-is inside that space — if larger than the allocated space, it will be cropped.
    If auto-size is true, the image is stretched or shrunk to fit the tray icon space.
    
    Parameters:
    autosize - true to auto-size the image, false otherwise
    See Also:
    isImageAutoSize()
  - isImageAutoSize
```
public boolean isImageAutoSize()
```
    Returns the value of the auto-size property.
    
    Returns:
    true if the image will be auto-sized, false otherwise
    See Also:
    setImageAutoSize(boolean)
  - addMouseListener
```
public void addMouseListener(MouseListener listener)

    Note: The MouseEvent's coordinates (received from the TrayIcon) are relative to the screen, not the TrayIcon.
    Note: The MOUSE_ENTERED and MOUSE_EXITED mouse events are not supported.
