Hi,
Thank you for your answer,
I had tried a lot to make pop up the system tray menu on mouse left click. Finally i got a way to do this. My code is,
MouseListener ml;
        ml = new MouseListener() {
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                if (mouseflag == 0) {
                    try {
                        Robot robot = new Robot();
                        // RIGHT CLICK
                        robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK);
                        robot.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON3_MASK);
                    } catch (Exception exe) {
                        System.out.println("error=" + exe);
                    mouseflag = 1;
                } else {
                    mouseflag = 0;
        public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
          System.out.println("Tray icon: Mouse entered");
        public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
          System.out.println("Tray icon: Mouse exited");
        public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
          System.out.println("Tray icon: Mouse pressed");
        public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
          System.out.println("Tray icon: Mouse released");
      };here i had created a mouse right click using code (robot class) on mouse clicked. Now i can pop up menu on left click. But now my issue is, i am not able to remove right click functionality. I think this is in built function for system tray menu. please help or give suggestions on this issue. I think that the way which i used to pop up menu on left click is not a good one. If i removed right click then this code may not work.
Thank you,
