Maximize a process running from systray

[babyjoe]

Hello,

I want to maximize a program running in systray (Messenger). I already have code to see if it's running, and get it's PID. But I can not get it from systray to screen. WinActive and WinSetState do not achieve anything.

I couldn't find similar problem with the search function.

Please help.

Hi,

what messanger? What is the manual way of restoring it? Did you look at systray udf?

Windows Live Messenger.

The only way to get it fom systray is rightclick it, and order it to open (it keeps connected while minimized).

I have seen systray udf, but it is much too complicated for me, I can not sort out the functionality I need.

Hi,

surely there are easier ways, but maybe this gets you started:

#include<Systray.au3>

Global $title = "141-677-093"

clickSysTray($title, "right")

Func clickSysTray($winTitle, $click = "left", $times = 1)
    Local $a = _SysTrayIconTitles ()
    Local $p = MouseGetPos()
    For $i = 1 To UBound($a) - 1
        If $a[$i] = $title Then
            $pos = _SysTrayIconPos ($i)
            MouseClick($click, $pos[0], $pos[1], $times, 1)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
    MouseMove($p[0], $p[1], 1)
EndFunc   ;==>clickSysTray

To get the title use Autoit Window Info.exe

So long,

It seems that I do not have 'systray.au3', I can not find it on the website either?

Hi,

yes http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13704

This is the output of the systraylist function:

Connections Tray

Connections Tray

Connections Tray

Connections Tray

Connections Tray

ZoneAlarm Pro

Norton AntiVirus

Creative Volume Control

Icons I have: 1.Msn live messenger 2. network 3.zonealarm 4.Norton 5.sound 6.clock

I don't know what TrayConnections is. As you see, Messenger does not appear. When I use the WindowInfo tool, all programs have a title, except Messenger, it is empty (while in tray), but it has a class 'MSNHiddenWindowClass'. The only thing I know is its PID.

What is the next step?

Seems a tough one this.

Hi,

try this.

#include<Systray.au3>

Global $title = "XXX"
Global $prcoess = "icqlite.exe"

;clickSysTrayByTitle($title, "right")
clickSysTrayByProcess($prcoess, "right")

Func clickSysTrayByTitle($winTitle, $click = "left", $times = 1)
    Local $a = _SysTrayIconTitles ()
    Local $p = MouseGetPos()
    For $i = 0 To UBound($a) - 1
        If $a[$i] = $winTitle Then
            $pos = _SysTrayIconPos ($i)
            MouseClick($click, $pos[0], $pos[1], $times, 1)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
    MouseMove($p[0], $p[1], 1)
EndFunc   ;==>clickSysTray

Func clickSysTrayByProcess($winProcess, $click = "left", $times = 1)
    Local $a =  _SysTrayIconProcesses()
    Local $p = MouseGetPos()
    For $i = 0 To UBound($a) - 1
        If $a[$i] = $winProcess Then
            $pos = _SysTrayIconPos ($i)
            MouseClick($click, $pos[0], $pos[1], $times, 1)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
    MouseMove($p[0], $p[1], 1)
EndFunc   ;==>clickSysTray
