WinUI3 H.NotifyIcon, Unable to resolve symbol TaskbarIcon

Question

I am working on a winui3 project, and for notify icon, only good option I found is HavenDV/H.NotifyIcon

For winui, it recommends H.NotifyIcon.WinUI, but it is having version issues and showing

So, I tried to add the core library H.NotifyIcon, which supposedly works for all the platforms, but it is showing Unable to resolve symbol 'TaskbarIcon'

So, what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

From the error message, I guess you are getting this error because, the latest H.NotifyIcon.WinUI requires WindowsAppSDK v1.2.230217.4 or later, but your app has WindowsAppSDK v1.2.221109.1 installed.

Updating WindowsAppSDK to the latest version should fix your problem.

Answer 2

I test it and I couldn't reproduce the issue.

1,In manage nuget packages, find the H.NotifyIcon.winui package and install it.

2,Declared within MainWindow

<Window
        xmlns:tb="clr-namespace:H.NotifyIcon;assembly=H.NotifyIcon.Wpf" // WPF
    xmlns:tb="using:H.NotifyIcon" // WinUI
    >
        <tb:TaskbarIcon
            ToolTipText="ToolTip"
        IconSource="/Images/TrayIcons/Logo.ico"
            ContextFlyout="{StaticResource TrayMenu}"
            MenuActivation="LeftOrRightClick"
            TrayPopup="{StaticResource TrayStatusPopup}"
            PopupActivation="DoubleClick"
            TrayToolTip="{StaticResource TrayToolTip}"
            />
</Window>

Note: 1,WinUI uses ContextFlyout instead ContextMenu.

2,Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK>=1.2.230217.4
