Opt("TrayMenuMode",..): Proposed improvement for Help

[c.haslam]

Here is my suggestion for making the Help for TrayMenuMode clearer for the novice:

Changes how Tray items operate. The defaults (value 0) are:

• The AutoIt items Script paused/Exit are appended to the user’s menu items
• Items created with TrayCreateItem(..,..,.., 1) act like auto-radios; all others act like checkboxes
• If an item has the $TRAY_DEFAULT state, making it the default item, this item is shown in bold, and double-clicking the tray icon executes this item

Other possible values are 1 , 3, 5, 9, 11 and 13. They remove or change features of Mode 0, and are additions of the following numbers:

• 1: The AutoIt items Script paused/Exit are not shown
• 2: Items act neither as checkboxes not as auto-radios, unless specified by calling TrayItemSetState(..,$TRAY_CHECKED)
• 4: Double-clicking the tray icon has no effect. An item with the $TRAY_DEFAULT state still shows in bold.
• 8: Several radio-like items in a group can be selected at the same time, i.e. they act as manual radios not auto-radios

I encourage comments, corrections and suggestions.

I do not seem to be able to get Opt("TrayMenuMode",8) to work. Opt("TrayMenuMode",8+1) does work OK.

So are there bit combinations that don't work?

I have revised the original post based on experimentation.
