Hello, how do I show an gui only when selecting a tray menu option?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)

$gui = GUICreate("My GUI")

$showgui = TrayCreateItem("Show")
$hidegui = TrayCreateItem("Hide")
$exitItem = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

TraySetState()
GUISetState (@SW_HIDE, $gui)


While 1
  $traymsg = TrayGetMsg()
    Select
      case $traymsg = $showgui
        GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gui)
      case $traymsg = $hidegui
        GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $gui)
      case $traymsg = $exitItem
        exit
    endselect
  $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then exitloop

sleep (500)
Wend

monte,

You do not need the Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1). That puts the tray menu into OnEvent mode and you want GetMsg mode!

I would also remove the Sleep from your While...Wend loop. The GetMsg functions put in their own pauses and you are just making the whole thing unresponsive.

Hello,

How can I use TrayGetMsg with GUIGetMsg?

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong here?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt('TrayMenuMode',3)
Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)
Opt('TrayAutoPause',0)

$gui = GUICreate("My GUI")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 8, 8, 75, 25)

$showgui = TrayCreateItem("Show")
$hidegui = TrayCreateItem("Hide")
$exitItem = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

TraySetState()
GUISetState (@SW_HIDE, $gui)


While 1
    $tMsg = TrayGetMsg()
    Switch $tMsg
        Case $showgui
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gui)
        Case $hidegui
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $gui)
        Case $exitItem
            Exit
    EndSwitch
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $Button1
            ConsoleWrite('ok pressed'&@LF)
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exitloop
    EndSwitch
Wend

Thanks.

You set the option for TrayOnEventMode, you can't use the message loop if you do that. Just delete that option line and see if it's working now.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Oo damn didn't see that! Here is a working script if you want to use system tray menu and GUI at the same time.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt('TrayMenuMode',3)
Opt('TrayAutoPause',0)

$gui = GUICreate("My GUI")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 8, 8, 75, 25)

$showgui = TrayCreateItem("Show")
$hidegui = TrayCreateItem("Hide")
$exitItem = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

TraySetState()
GUISetState (@SW_HIDE, $gui)


While 1
    $tMsg = TrayGetMsg()
    Switch $tMsg
        Case $showgui
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gui)
        Case $hidegui
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $gui)
        Case $exitItem
            Exit
    EndSwitch
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $Button1
            ConsoleWrite('ok pressed'&@LF)
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exitloop
    EndSwitch
Wend

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Sorry to bump this tread but i was wondering if there is a way so that the traymenu does not exit when closing the gui?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt('TrayMenuMode',3)
Opt('TrayAutoPause',0)

$gui = GUICreate("My GUI")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 8, 8, 75, 25)

$showgui = TrayCreateItem("Show")
$hidegui = TrayCreateItem("Hide")
$exitItem = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

TraySetState()
GUISetState (@SW_HIDE, $gui)


While 1
    $tMsg = TrayGetMsg()
    Switch $tMsg
        Case $showgui
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gui)
        Case $hidegui
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $gui)
        Case $exitItem
            Exit
    EndSwitch
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $Button1
            ConsoleWrite('ok pressed'&@LF)
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exitloop
    EndSwitch
Wend

Thanks.

Instead of ExitLoop, replace that line with GuiDelete ().

But then show/hide won't work anymore, you may want to remove those options after deleting the GUI. 

Or you could hide the GUI instead of deleting it on Close...

It is working fine for me :

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt('TrayMenuMode',3)
Opt('TrayAutoPause',0)

$gui = GUICreate("My GUI")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 8, 8, 75, 25)

$showgui = TrayCreateItem("Show")
$hidegui = TrayCreateItem("Hide")
$exitItem = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

TraySetState()
GUISetState (@SW_HIDE, $gui)


While 1
    $tMsg = TrayGetMsg()
    Switch $tMsg
        Case $showgui
            GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gui)
        Case $hidegui
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $gui)
        Case $exitItem
            Exit
    EndSwitch
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $Button1
            ConsoleWrite('ok pressed' & @CRLF)
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete ()
            TrayItemDelete ($showgui)
            TrayItemDelete ($hidegui)
    EndSwitch
Wend

Tested both win 7 and win 10...
