Thanks Holger, you are the best!

Update 17.07.2007:

- now you can also use menu icons for the tray

- added commands for tray

For info: this is more a workaround which uses GUICtrlCreated menus/items together with the GUIRegisterMsg()

See 1st post...

Thanks Holger.

Any chance of a _GUICtrlODMenuItemSetState() to match the new _TrayIconSetState()? (I tried my best but your usage of DllStruct(..) is akin to magic for me at my current programming level)

Great updates that you are making on this library Holger, I really appreciate it. Especially the _GUICtrlODMenuItemSetText (that i even requested some months ago) is a lifesaver for me, thanks a lot for that one alone!

Cheers,

Just use GUICtrlSetState()

Ok, thanks for your quick reply, it was because I started out trying to use GUICtrlSetState to make a default (bold) text menu item..

Like so: GUICtrlSetState($mItem, $GUI_DEFBUTTON), this is working fine on standard menu items but not on your extended menu. I can make other states such as $GUI_DISABLE..etc. work just fine. Any chance of getting bold text on specific menu items with ModernMenuLib?

Just use GUICtrlSetState()

Edit: speleling fixed

Update 21.07.2007

- added bold item support - with GUICtrlSetState($item, $GUI_DEFBUTTON)

-> limited to menuitems only, menus are not supported!

I get an error when i try to work the tray with icons

[kjason]

Hi? This is a really good script.

Now, I am studying on it and it works great!!

I have one question.

_TrayTip($nTrayIcon1,"Information", "Now, new tray icon available ", 1,$NIIF_INFO)

in this script, the Tray balloon tip last too long.

How can I reduce the time of balloon tip up?

Your help would be very appreciated.

@Sleepy: with the 'TrayClick' I will take a look how to make it work.

The "I get an error when i try to work the tray with icons" you should explain a little bit more...with thisone I don't understand what your problem is.

@kjason: from MSDN:

"The system minimum and maximum timeout values are currently set at 10 seconds and 30 seconds, respectively"

So, if you set a timeout of 5sec it will be changed by system to 10 and i.e. if you use 40sec it will be changed to 30.

download what you posted, and try to compile it with scite. it comes up with numerous errors.

hi holger nice work

but when i compile the sample

sampleGUIandTray-unicode.au3

everything looks nie

but when i compile the "non unicode" version (sampleGUIandTray.au3), where i see no difference in code - i get an error which i dont understand

H:\autoit\menu lib - tray menu\ModernMenu.au3(449,33) : ERROR: LoadIcon(): undefined function.

$hIcon = LoadIcon(0, $nIconID)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

H:\autoit\menu lib - tray menu\sampleGUIandTray.au3 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Updated

- Fixed: missing LoadIcon()

Thank you both for info (Sleepy and nobbe).

If you don't want to download it again just add the following code at the end of the "ModernMenu.au3":

Func LoadIcon($hInstance, $nIcon)
    Local $hIcon = DllCall("user32.dll", "hwnd", "LoadIcon", _
                                                "hwnd", $hInstance, _
                                                "int", $nIcon)
    Return $hIcon[0]
EndFunc

This was a merging error (the merging of my old ModernMenu with the TrayMenu).

I'm adding this to my collection of cool stuff. Outstanding work!

hi holger

great job!

i have already used it in my new program

one thing that i try to figure out is:

when setting an icon resource from shell32.dll

$AboutItem = _GUICtrlCreateODMenuItem ("About...", $HelpMenu, "shell32.dll", 23) ; --> 24-1 in reshacker icon group

the icon index doesnt correspond to the function

$icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon ("shell32.dll", 23, 20,20)

which now displays a different icon resource

the only thing i could figure out is with "reshacker " i go to icon groups and now the icon resource on the above would be iconindex-1

do you think there is a way to syncronize with the "GUICtrlCreateIcon " function to figure out the icons more quickly?

i now get this error:

ModernMenu.au3(1556,174) : ERROR: CreateFont() called by a previous line with 1 arg(s). Min = 14. First previous line calling this Func is 1433.

Func CreateFont($nHeight, $nWidth, $nEscape, $nOrientn, $fnWeight, $bItalic, $bUnderline, $bStrikeout, $nCharset, $nOutputPrec, $nClipPrec, $nQuality, $nPitch, $ptrFontName)

Also,

How do you make it so when you click the tray icon, it executes a function, not opens a menu.
