Is there any way to setup an event that will be run after the user right-clicks the tray icon but before the menu appears?

I'm looking for a way to be able to update the menu items before the user sees them (e.g. check/uncheck items), but I don't know exactly when item's should be checked or unchecked. If I was able to always update the menu before the user sees it, it would always show the menu items correctly to the user.

Thanks

You would use one of these in your script:


Say you have:


So if USER clicks on Item1 it will take him/her to "label1:"
And in "label1:" you would have:


You can even base the toggle/& code on which item is clicked and have all of them going to the same Label:


Check out the DOCS for all the stuff you can do with the tray menu!

Thanks for the help, however the problem is that I don't know if the item should be checked or not. It launches some program and if the program fails (i.e. it quit) I don't want a checkmark next to the item, which represents that the program isn't running. However, if a program didn't fail, then the checkmark should stay there.

Thus, it's not always correct to toggle the checkmark, especially if the program is quit/launched not through this script. The ultimate solution would be to always refresh the menu before the user sees it, this way it's guaranteed to be correct.

Sorry I wasn't clearer in my first post.
