[Solved] Connect to the right _WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect trayicon

[nend]

Hoi guys,

If you use this Windows API function to get the dimesions of the systray icon it gets mixup if you use multiple AutoIt programs with systray menu.
It use WinGetHandle(AutoItWinGetTitle()) to get the handle.
If you use a other AutoIt program with a systram menu and you open and close the menu (from the other AutoIt program) the handle came from that program.
And there for it return the coordinates and dimension from the other Autoit script.
Is there a way to connect this to the script it's running so it will not get mixup by other Autoit scripts with a systray menu?

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPIGdi.au3>
#include <WinAPIShellEx.au3>
#include <WinAPISys.au3>

Local $tRECT = _WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect(WinGetHandle(AutoItWinGetTitle()), 1)

Local $aPos
If Not @error Then
    $aPos = _WinAPI_GetPosFromRect($tRECT)
    MouseMove($aPos[0] + 12, $aPos[1] + 12)
    MouseClick('left')
    While 1
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd
EndIf

Hi @nend.

I imagine your problem is hard to explain, but I'm not sure i 100% get/understand the issue.

1. If you are afraid to get the coordinates from another AutoIt script from _WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect that's not an issue. An issue would be if one script running used multiple trays, but then again the script would know or can get the ID of the tray icons created.
2. On the other hand, if your problem is tray position changing from when you used _WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect, it's just a matter of calling it on the line above required.

If none of the above is correctly understood, I'm sorry but explaining it another way may be necessary

@genius257,

That's exactly what happens!

On the other hand, if your problem is tray position changing from when you used _WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect, it's just a matter of calling it on the line above required.
I'm allready done that, I inserted into the main program and it works fine except for the problem above.
I think it has to do with WinGetHandle(AutoItWinGetTitle()) it returns for all AutoIt scripts the same handle.
The handle switch when you open (and close) a tray menu from a other Autoit script/exe, so the "_WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect" give the rect from that last script/exe.

See for yourself, open this script and see the console for the x position open a other Autoit program which has a Tray menu in it and open and close the tray menu you see that the coordinates chance to the last script where the tray menu is opened/closed.

I think I solved it just by changing the Autoit Window title "AutoItWinSetTitle"
Now this script has a different name than the other AutoIt programs.

Ah i think i get it now ^^'

In case window names gives you too much trouble, i suggest enumerating the windows and getting windows belonging to the PID.

I suggest doing this:

#include <WinAPIProc.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$a = _WinAPI_EnumProcessWindows(@AutoItPID, False)
_ArrayDisplay($a); see all windows from PID
MsgBox(0, "AutoIt v3 window array position", _ArraySearch($a, "AutoIt v3"))
Exit

Hope this helps you

@genius257,

That works great, thanks for your help.
I hoop that I can finnish this project now.
