I'm looking for a way to using some of the Windows 7 task bar features - specifically progressbar and jump lists - in a python application that uses Qt for the UI. The questions I've seen on SO are all 1-2 years old and either say Qt isn't there yet but the next version will have it (which has since been released) or point me to Q7Goodies which I'd prefer not to use for cost reasons.

Does anyone know if Qt and a python binding, either PyQt or PySide, can interact with the Windows 7 taskbar?

I am using Python 2.7.x and Qt 4.6. I can upgrade to 4.7 if needed, I can't move up to Python 3.x just yet.

  • I suggest you add C++ too. may be some core way of doing will give some clue on how this can be done in python way – Neel Basu Aug 27 '11 at 14:56

For C++ there is something called EcWin7, just look: http://code.google.com/p/dukto/source/browse/trunk/src/ecwin7.cpp

Maybe it's not so hard to make Python bindings for it but I'm not sure.

Hope it helps anyhow :)
