traytip isn't working in windows 10. nothing happens when i use the Traytip command. here's a simple script i used: TrayTip("I'm a title", "I'm the message", 5) i tried changing the registry setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced ( which didn't have EnableBalloonTips) and creating a DWORD entry called EnableBalloonTips and setting it to 1 and logging off then back in. that did not resolve the problem. i'm running Windows 10 v1709 b16299.431

Hello everyone! I'm new to the AutoIT Forum, but have been using AutoIT for a few years now. I've finally gotten around to TrayTips, which I love the idea they're like Windows Notifications (at least on Win10) see attached photo, it didn't let me insert it as a link from Imgur for some reason... But, I've been attempting to get the TrayTip to have an onClick action. I've inserted a Global variable in front of it, and called it within the TrayGetMsg() switch and within the GUIGetMsg() switch, but still nothing happens. I've managed to make sure the TrayMenu items (not in code snippet) work within the TrayGetMsg() Switch, which I thought that might help with making the TrayTip work. But, after hours of looking into forum posts, I haven't been able to find anything useful and some of the code doesn't work, or it's more complicated than it possibly should be. Here's a code snippet: #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <TrayConstants.au3> Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1) Global $GUI = GUICreate("GUI TITLE", 431, 213, -1, -1) Global $trayTip = TrayTip("AUTOIT Notification", "This is line 1" & @CRLF & "This is line 2", 10) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $trayTip MsgBox(0, "Notification Clicked!", " You've Clicked on the Notification!", 5) EndSwitch Switch TrayGetMsg() Case $trayTip MsgBox(0, "Notification Clicked!", " You've Clicked on the Notification!", 5) EndSwitch WEnd Is there something I'm missing? or is TrayTip's really not clickable / don't allow actions to be performed from a click? Also, if this is in the wrong category, please move it to the correct one. I wasn't sure where I should post it.

Hi Team, Greetings! I need to embed traytip in some autoit code where I dont need highlighted unwanted content & also can I have a custom logo instead of the presets. Thanks! #include <TrayConstants.au3> TrayTip("TrayTip Title", "TrayTip Content", 2, $TIP_ICONASTERISK)

Hey all, I have a question about the Windows-10 Traytips and how to assign a function on them. So the Traytip will be displayed and when i click it i would like to run a function. Currently i am looking at the following Topic; https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/140699-tray-notifications-redirector/ Tried it and it works fine, but now all my TrayTIps are clickable to the same function. Is it possible to read the Traytip name and then run a function according to what tip is showing? Thanks

Hey all! It's been a while since I've posted but here is a simple little function I thought I'd share that allows you to keep a script process active for a minimum amount of time. I use this to ensure the process is active to ensure any TrayTips remain visible. But I'm sure there is far more interesting uses for this. How it Works The coder calls the KeepAlive function with the number of seconds he/she wants to ensure the process will remain active for the next n seconds. Let's say you just called the TrayTip function with 15 seconds display time. You might call KeepAlive with 18 seconds to ensure the process stays active for the next 18 seconds. If the process is closed after that, then the process will close normally. #Region - KeepAlive Functions ;## Function used to ensure the process stays active for the next n seconds. This is useful to ensure ToolTips ect remain visible. #cs - Example TrayTip(@ScriptName, "This Tip will be called just prior to exit of process.", 5) KeepAlive(8) Exit #ce - Example Func KeepAlive($Seconds = 5) Global $KeeyAlive_IsActive = False Global $KeeyAlive_Init = 0 Global $KeeyAlive_Timeout = 0 ;## Check if there is a previously set timer and only set the new value if it is more than the previously set value. If $KeeyAlive_Timeout - TimerDiff($KeeyAlive_Init) < $Seconds * 1000 Then $KeeyAlive_Init = TimerInit() $KeeyAlive_Timeout = $Seconds * 1000 EndIf ;## If the callback is not yet regerister to execute on exit, register it now. If Not $KeeyAlive_IsActive Then $KeeyAlive_IsActive = True OnAutoItExitRegister("__KeepAlive_OnExit") EndIf EndFunc ;## Private On Exit Function used to ensure program remains active for a previously defined number of seconds. Func __KeepAlive_OnExit() ;## If closeing due to Loffoff or shutdown. Allow it without Delay. If @exitMethod > 2 Then Return ;## Check for reasons that process should be clsoed immediatly without delay. If @exitMethod > 2 Or Not IsDeclared("KeeyAlive_IsActive") Or Not IsDeclared("KeeyAlive_Init") Or Not IsDeclared("KeeyAlive_Timeout") Or TimerDiff($KeeyAlive_Init) > $KeeyAlive_Timeout Then Return ;## Pause Process for the time remaining. ConsoleWrite("Keeping Alive for " & Int($KeeyAlive_Timeout - TimerDiff($KeeyAlive_Init)) & "ms" & @CRLF) Sleep($KeeyAlive_Timeout - TimerDiff($KeeyAlive_Init)) EndFunc #EndRegion Enjoy!

#include <Date.au3> #include <TrayConstants.au3> HotKeySet("^d", "WhatIsToday") Global $Today = _Date_Time_GetSystemTime While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd Func WhatIsToday() TrayTip("Today's date", "Today is...

Hello everyone, I've just upgraded my SO to Windows 10 and I've noticed that the function TrayTip() generates this different type of message: The problem is that one traytip command does not immediately dismiss the previous one, so it takes forever. I've also tried this: But it doesn't work :/ Anyone has been throught this problem? Or can you recommend me an alternative way to inform the user about the status of a script? Thank you very much!

hello, i made a script to show a traytip every "10 SECs" and timeout is "2 SECs", but i don't know why it doesn't hide after 2 SECs or even 1000 sec,, i must click on it to hide check the script: While 1 $start = TimerInit() Sleep(10000) $End = TimerDiff($start) $rEND = Round($End / 1000, 0) If $rEND = "10" Then $x = TrayTip("test", "testtt", 2) Sleep(2000) EndIf WEndany help would be appreciated thanks.

Hi, When I use traytip with timeout 20 secs, sometimes it stays for 20secs or more, but sometimes it fades away fast (less than 5 secs). What is the reason for this. Is there any work around. TrayTip("Title", "Text", 20) Sleep(30000) Roshith
