No custom GUI icon in taskbar when au3 script is executed by "Run script" option

[maniootek]

My Autoit script contains code which show GUI with custom icon (GuiSetIcon() function is used).

When I compile my script to exe and run it then I can see my custom icon on the windows taskbar but when I run my script with option "Run script" then I see default AutoIt icon on the taskbar.

I want see my custom icon on the taskbar when I run my script with option "Run script" or I when I use code:

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Autoit3.exe" "C:\myscript.au3")

Any idea?

where is your script ?

or take a look  https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/TraySetIcon.htm

and here   https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/AutoIt3Wrapper_Directives#List_of_AutoIt3Wrapper_Directives

You will need to make a copy of AutoIt3.exe into a new directory, hack its icon to change it to yours, then run with this new exe.  Voilà !

Or you can just compile it

@maniootek try compile this script

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Icons\MyAutoIt3_Red.ico
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()

    GUICreate("My GUI new icon") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
    $sFile = "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Icons\MyAutoIt3_Red.ico"

    GUISetIcon($sFile) ; will change icon

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW); will display an empty dialog box

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop

        EndSwitch
    WEnd

    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example

This works for me compiled/uncompiled:

;#NoTrayIcon
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 300, 200)
GUISetIcon(@ScriptDir & '\test.ico')
TraySetIcon(@ScriptDir & '\test.ico')
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    If GuiGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

Anyway try this if you use embeded icon added at compile time by #AutoIt3Wrapper:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_icon=test.ico

;#NoTrayIcon
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Test2", 300, 200)
If Not @Compiled Then
    GUISetIcon(@ScriptDir & '\test.ico')
    TraySetIcon(@ScriptDir & '\test.ico')
EndIf
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    If GuiGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

Tray icon and gui icon is no problem, it works, It's all about Windows 10 taskbar icon when script is run as a parameter of autoit.exe (run script option)

Your code also show autoit icon (not custom icon).

On my Win10 i see all 3 icons (gui+taskbar+tray) OK -> my custom icon, also when running uncompiled and started by "Run script" context menu from system.

[ioa747]

just i test in win 10 no custom icon in taskbar with v3.3.16.1

but with autoit-v3.3.14.5 is possible

 

[maniootek]

My AutoIt version 3.3.14.5 and it's not working

I remember it used to work before

Edit: I just installed 3.3.16.1 and it's still not working.

Working?

This is not that easy as it seems to be. It is working when I move the au3 file into AutoIt.exe file but when I use "Run script" option from context menu it doesn't (even if I use same AutoIt version). Please check movie:

 

[ioa747]

i check it out...

...and nothing.  You have right.  This is possible only by drop

@Zedna can you enlighten us why this is happening?
