Set system tray menu items to disabled at start up

[tinomatic]

Hi,

I have a question open on stackoverflow regarding disabling (some) tray menu items at app start up. Basically, when I try to access the tray items in .setup I'm told the tray is not configured:

thread 'main' panicked at 'tray not configured; use the Builder#system_tray API first.'

That makes sense, but then where can I set the state of the items? I did try to set state when creating the menu items themselves before adding them to the tray menu, but there doesn't seem to be a method to do that.

My codes looks like this:

let opt1 = CustomMenuItem::new("opt1".to_string(), "Option 1");
let opt2 = CustomMenuItem::new("opt2".to_string(), "Option 2");

let tray_menu = SystemTrayMenu::new()
    .add_item(opt1)
    .add_item(opt2);

tauri::Builder::default()
    .system_tray(SystemTray::new().with_menu(tray_menu))

.setup(|app| {
    ...

    let tray_handle = app.handle().tray_handle();
    tray_handle.get_item(&"opt1".to_string()).set_enabled(false);

    ...
})
.run(tauri::generate_context!())
.expect("error while running tauri application");

TIA

You can use .disabled() on your CustomMenuItem to set it to disabled right away, before you add it to the menu.

From my code:

SystemTray::new().with_menu(SystemTrayMenu::new()
    .add_item(CustomMenuItem::new("action".to_string(), "Loading...").disabled())
    .add_item(CustomMenuItem::new("quit".to_string(), "Quit"))
)

This results in a disabled menu item that says "Loading...":

Thanks! That is what I needed. Will post follow-up question related to later re-enabling them in a new thread.
