why it doesnt give me the value 65

[jacky998877]

after i checked the tray item "exit_the_program-" , it should return 65 , but it always gives me 68 

 

#include <TrayConstants.au3>

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

Opt("TrayMenuMode", 5) ; 

Opt("TrayOnEventMode", 1) ; Enable TrayOnEventMode.

    

        $exit_tray_item= TrayCreateItem("exit_the_program--")          

            

        TraySetState($TRAY_ICONSTATE_SHOW) ; Show the tray menu.

 

pause_the_program()

 

Func pause_the_program()

        $exit_state = TrayItemGetState($exit_tray_item)

 

    While 1

        ToolTip($exit_state)

 

    WEnd

EndFunc

Two things;

First, you are "capturing" the state of the tray item before your while loop, so the tooltip will never update if the state changes.

Second, you should consider adding a sleep in the loop in order to reduce CPU usage.

 

Try this

Func pause_the_program()
    While 1
        ToolTip(TrayItemGetState($exit_tray_item))
        sleep(10)
    WEnd
EndFunc

edit: three things

Any particular reason you marked your own post as the one that solved the topic?

thx.  for i figured it out that the problem lies in the while loop. but i should have added "solved" in the title instead

Cool.  Glad you managed to short it out for yourself.

It's a moot point now since there is an explanation and fix for the issue, but in the future if you resolve your own issue it would be beneficial to future readers to know how it was solved; so if you would consider, go ahead and add to your post how you fixed it.
