hi guys --
Trying to find the ahk_class and/or control for the IEXPLORE icon on the windows 7 "quick launch" toolbar.

Its the big blue "e" icon shown here:


I'd like to recognize a 'double click' when hovering over it.

To do that I believe I need the ahk_class and control ids.

When I use windows spy utility, I simply get "ahk_class TaskListThumbnailWnd" under the "windows title and class" section. No title is given, just the ahk_class. I tried putting that in but no luck.

When I hover over the big blue "e" icon, window spy utility tells me that "now under mouse cursor" is: absolutely nothing.

so for instance, the code snippet below (stolen from elsewhere on these forums) successfully accomplished catching the double-click in winxp when double clicking on the start button. I'm trying to do something similar, except that i'd like to double click the big blue "e" icon in win7 quick launch bar:

sorry, updated

anyone? I cant be the first to want to double click those icons in the quirky win7 qucklaunch bar.

you may be able to use a selected pixels area to confirm you ar e on the button

On win7x64 theres no way to detect the button in a conventional manner..


Do you need this to work on multiple systems or just the current one.
If so, you could plot the coordinates of the mouse.

There maybe an API function for this, looking into it..

hi tlm -- i guess plotting the coordinates is the fallback option, if we dont have a more elegant solution...
