Hello. How to make GUI restore from tray with slower speed or effect?

Like stated above, I have never really attempted to create tray icon menus simply due to the fact I find them annoying (if I want to minimize a program, I will click "minimize", but if I want to close it, I don't want it to minimize to task bar and require me to close it there), but thought I should try incorporating them into latest script to at least say that I can use them. However, I am running into a couple of snags/facts I would like to verify. 1) Since tray icons come with their own "GetMsg" function, I just want to verify that, while the continual paging of the tray menu item would still occur within some kind of loop, can the tray menu item events be declared outside and separate from the GUI events? eg. While 1 $tmsg = TrayGetMsg () $nMsg = GUIGetMsg(1) Switch $tmsg Case $TrayMenu Case $settings1 If TrayItemGetState ( $settings1 ) = 65 Then IniWrite ( $path & "\infostore.ini", "Tray Settings", "No Notifications", "$TRAY_CHECKED" ) ElseIf TrayItemGetState ( $settings1 ) = 68 Then IniWrite ( $path & "\infostore.ini", "Tray Settings", "No Notifications", "$TRAY_UNCHECKED" ) Else EndIf Case $settings2 If TrayItemGetState ( $settings2 ) = 65 Then IniWrite ( $path & "\infostore.ini", "Tray Settings", "On top", "$TRAY_CHECKED" ) GUISetStyle ( BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_THICKFRAME, $WS_TABSTOP), $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $Form1_1 ) GUISetStyle ( BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $DS_SETFOREGROUND), $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $Form2 ) GUISetStyle ( -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $Form3 ) GUISetStyle ( BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_THICKFRAME, $WS_TABSTOP), BitOR($WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE, $WS_EX_TOPMOST), $Form3_1 ) GUISetStyle ( -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $Form4 ) GUISetStyle ( -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $Form5 ) ElseIf TrayItemGetState ( $settings2 ) = 68 Then IniWrite ( $path & "\infostore.ini", "Tray Settings", "On top", "$TRAY_UNCHECKED" ) GUISetStyle ( BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_THICKFRAME, $WS_TABSTOP), 0, $Form1_1 ) GUISetStyle ( $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, 0, $Form2 ) GUISetStyle ( $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, 0, $Form3 ) GUISetStyle ( BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_THICKFRAME, $WS_TABSTOP), BitOR($WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE), $Form3_1 ) GUISetStyle ( $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, 0, $Form4 ) GUISetStyle ( $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, 0, $Form5 ) Else EndIf EndSwitch Switch $nMsg[1] Case $Form1_1 Switch $nMsg[0] Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ;ProcessClose ( "pastebutt.exe" ) ;ProcessClose ( "PasteButtonhk.exe" ) Exit EndSwitch EndSwitch Wend My second question also involves the above code, but specifically the "Ini" functions which attempt to read a "tray" state flag from an Ini file. The following is code located at very beginning of script: Const $path = @AppDataDir & "\filler" Opt ( "TrayMenuMode", 1 ) OnAutoItExitRegister ( "refresh" ) $nonote = False $TrayMenu = TrayCreateMenu ( "Settings" ) $settings1 = TrayCreateItem ( "Turn off notifications", $TrayMenu ) TrayItemSetState ( -1, IniRead ( $path & "\infostore.ini", "Tray Settings", "No Notifications", "$TRAY_UNCHECKED" ) ) $settings2 = TrayCreateItem ( "Keep Window on top", $TrayMenu ) TrayItemSetState ( -1, IniRead ( $path & "\infostore.ini", "Tray Settings", "On top", "$TRAY_UNCHECKED" ) ) So the idea is that whenever the user "checks" one of the tray icon menu options, its current "state" will be input into the "ini" file, so that the state of the particular tray menu item will be in the same state as the user left it when the script is launched next. However, this is not occurring: the ini file contains the "state" flag like it should, but the tray menu item remains unchecked at startup. Furthermore, the checking or unchecking of "setting1" is not being recognized, as the windows' extended styles do not obtain the "Topmost" flag like they should had it worked. I get the feeling I'm not getting the "states" of the tray menu items correct. Any advice?

is it possible to create a 16x16 gui and use it instead of the tray icon? I have seen http://www.desksoft.com/BWMeter.htm does this, it aloes you you place one of the bandwidth graphics in the tray menu instead of its own icon, I don't know if they have a little gui or use a fancy way to draw an icon in real time but it would be nice to have an interactive icon, or a mini gui like icon you can to things with any idea how it is done?

Hi all, I have searched this forum and found a function named "Get_Systray_Index()" written by Melba23. It is working very good. It can right click on my particular tray icon. But how can select a particular menu item from it. See the attached image. I have tried Send("K") and Send("k") and Send("{DOWN}{ENTER}"). But none of them is working. I don't want to use a mouseclick function. Because i need to use the same script in my laptop too. So please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi friends, Is there any way to get the text of hidden items in a system tray and to click on the hidden icon? The following code gets text of all visible items but I want to get the text of the hidden icons too. Please help. Pooja. #include <GuiToolBar.au3> $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', '', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:1]') If @error Then Msgbox(0, "Error", "Couldn't get the Tray handle") Exit EndIf ; Get systray item count Local $iSystray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle) ;get button count If $iSystray_ButCount = 0 Then Msgbox(0, "Error", "No tray icons") Exit EndIf ; Look for wanted tooltip $sTrayicons = $iSystray_ButCount & " Tray Icons are: " & @CRLF For $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSystray_ButCount - 1 $sTrayicons = $sTrayicons & _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber) & @CRLF Next Msgbox(0, "Tray icons", $sTrayicons)
