GUI/Tray Menu with icons and colors

[nickston]

I just have to add again the tray stuff for testing then it will be published maybe on sunday.

Edit: forgot to say that I will seperate the menu and tray stuff (sometimes you want additional tray stuff but don't need menu icons...)

Hi, again.

Separate the menu and tray is good news. (i'm need only tray )

And I again have some questions for you.

1) How about support 3.2.12.0?

2) Why you removed nID from _TrayCreateItem? It's reduce functional of that. For example, I create the first Tray _TrayIconCreate and add some items, after create the second Tray, and then i wish add items again to first tray. How?

Hi nickston

it needs a little bit more time (busy at the moment).

To your questions:

1.) works with 3.2.12.0

If you get some error messages (if you use Au3Chk) ignore that or delete the constants from the menu files.

2.) you have to create a contextmenu -> search for "_TrayCreateContextMenu"

So if you create an icon you have to use it like:

$TrayMenu2 = _TrayCreateContextMenu($TrayIcon2)

And the create the menu items in this contextmenu - similar to "GUICtrlCreateContextMenu()".

I played a bit with my copy of the UDF and figured out how to make a colored menubar muttley

... I can't upload it, because it's too big

Ok, now Pastebin

Hi, Holger.

I have some one question it's may be a trouble.

I create Tray in my app, but don't create main window.

Then I start app It's closing.

I detect what for Tray sending messages with TrayItemId of item which was created last.

In my way this item is Exit.

This behaviour of Tray rise in last TrayModernMenu

It's mistic.

I have two app which have same script text, but in first app all work, and on second have trouble (see up).

It's trouble not depends of Modern Menu, its trouble of compiler autoit-v3.2.12.1

Hi,

Is it possible to somehow use this code to add icons to tab items?

Cheers

[ProgAndy]

You don't need this UDF. For images in tabs, look at the example of _GUICtrlTab_GetItem

Hi there,

Very nice script indeed! Although I am missing one feature: it isn't possible to use a pointer to set an icon for the menu items. Could you please add this feature or guide me a little and help me add it myself?

Thanks!

I tried to add Handles For that I replaced

$arMenuItems[$i][2] = _AddMenuIcon($sIconFile, $nIconID)

with

If IsHWnd($sIconFile) Or Number($sIconFile)>0 Then
                        $arMenuItems[$i][2] = HWnd($sIconFile)
                    Else
                        $arMenuItems[$i][2] = _AddMenuIcon($sIconFile, $nIconID)
                    EndIf

--> Use Handle instead of filename , but not tested

Also, in this Version, the colored menubar is also included

Ahh, cool, I will check it out somewhere tonight. Thanks!

What else did you change in your file, and why? I ran a little diff on your ModernMenuRaw vs the one provided in the first post, and there are quite some differences. Mind to clarify a little on that?

Thanks again!

[ProgAndy]

OK, I'll try to explain: The Diff: http://hometown.aol.de/progandy/ModernMenuDiff.htm

Diff 1: Better CleanUp on Exit ( smetimes it crashed for me without that )

Diff 2: For Icon Handles

Diff 3: ~ ~

Diff 4: some more spaces

Diff 5: Addition for Enabling Colorized Menubar ( No space for icon reserverd)

Diff 6: less spaces ...

Diff 7: spaces

Diff 8: Addition for Color in Menubar ( highlight on Mouseover)

Diff 9: spaces ...

Diff 10: Again for Colored Menubar Space correction

Diff 11: For Icon Handles

Diff 12: When adding the colored menubar, I tried something and forgot to remove it

Diff 13: For Icon Handles

Diff 14: This finction is for adding Menus on Menubar with color

Diff 15: If you set a new icon, should the old one be deleted? ( if setting handles, this could not be useful)

Diff 16: THe Icon hanldes-Usage

Diff 17: same as 15

Diff 18: same as 17

Diff 19: set the backgroundcolor of the menubar, where no menus are shown

... This should be all I didn't change the removing of the Icons when deleting a Menuitem. I think, in these functions you should add an option like in Diff 15/16, too.

[SaphuA]

Thanks for your reply!

I didn't get the last part about deleting menu items though.

Anywho, I tested your version but the menu icon doesn't work. Here's the code I used:

Run("notepad.exe", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
WinWait("[Class:Notepad]")
$hNotepad = WinGetHandle("[Class:Notepad]")
$hIcon = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetClassLong", "hwnd", $hNotepad, "int", $GCL_HICON)
$hIcon = $hIcon[0]
If $hIcon = 0 Then
    $hIcon = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetClassLong", "hwnd", $hNotepad, "int", $GCL_HICONSM)
    $hIcon = $hIcon[0]
EndIf
$trayIcon = _TrayIconCreate("Minime", "shell32.dll", -13)
_TrayIconSetState()
$trayMenu = _TrayCreateContextMenu()
$TrayExit = _TrayCreateItem("Exit")
_TrayItemSetIcon($TrayExit, $hIcon)

[ProgAndy]

Well, I thought a bit wrong The icons are now added to the imagelist in all cases And now, it#s working. possibly you have to add

$hIcon = _WinAPI_CopyIcon($hIcon) to you Script, but thats really all

the corrected version as attachment and the diff:

Hi,

I got the traymenu working in a non-skinned gui. I Was wondering if it's possible to combine the traymenu of Modern Menu Lib with EzSkin (modified by JScript). I'm trying, but not succesful yet. Both a are awesome projects. Great work what these guys do.

Did anyone else try this yet?

Good afternoon,

I've been playing about with adding icons to my Application Launcher Tray Menu good job by the way!

However Ive run into a brick wall.

Background:

The information on how many buttons / items there are on the GUI / Tray Menu is retrieved from a config file. Therefore Ive used

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "RunApplication")oÝ÷ Û­¥¥úè©è¶«ºÇ«¶îhiû§rب¶­êí©áj·¡Ø§Ø^jeÆ­ì{h¶¬r¸©µ8^Ë.x¡jø§+0éȺǭëçîËb¢wè®Ø^N¶²1éîÂë²Ø^~e£§Êy«­¢+ÙÕ¥ÑɱɡU%}

+Æ®¶­seG&FVÔvWEFWBE$ôB

I dont want to go to the AutoIT method, because I like the idea of having icons displayed next to the applications.

Are there any plans to add this functionality into the script? e.g. TrayItemGetText(@TRAY_ID)

Does any one have any ideas?... I would be very grateful

If you want to see my code its listed here:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=78655

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Holger,

First of all... GOOD JOB !!! The functions are very useful.

However I'm trying to work with using the TrayEventMode set to 1 and I have difficulties to get the text of the Clicked Item.

As the standard TrayCreateItem() function is not used I cannot perform a TrayItemGetText().

The problem is I Have an undefinied number of applications listed in an ini file (on application = one section with several items),

therefore this produce a variable number of items in the tray menu (logical).

The only way for me to run the appropriate application is to get the name from the control (last clicked tray item) and compare it to the name I've stored in the ini file.

Would it be possible for you to include such function ?... or maybe have you already the answer to my question.

Thanks for your help.

FreeRider

**** CANCEL THE ABOVE REQUEST *****

I found the way to get text of a control (_GetMenuText)... PlayZoneUK who's also asked for the same function is also alerted... So just our question.

@Holger,

Since you are de facto expert on "Owner Drawn context menues vs. AutoIt" I was wondering if you have any idea(s) on how to draw an input/text area inside a context menu? (or indeed whether it is even possible!)

Best,

Sunaj

Whenever I do GUICtrlSetDefBkColor(0xB9D1EA) with my GUI all of my buttons dissappear if I have ModerMenuRaw.au3 included. How can I prevent this?

EDIT: It is actually anytime I set the background color for a button. Other things work but not buttons. They will disappear. Any ideas how to fix this please?
