OS: XP
AutoHotKey Version = 1.0.44.12
Me = Big fan of AutoHotKey
Problem:

I have written a script that periodically downloads a webpage, parses it and extracts an integer number from it. I can display it using splashtext and works fine. But I want to evolve it and was thinking if it is possible show this extracted number in the system tray. System tray also dynamically displays date/time/day info. Is it also possible that I could also show my dynamically generated info in it instead of separate messagebox?

I hope problem description is clear

Dear Ashwin,

[ashwin]

Hi

Thanks for ur reply.
But my problem is different.

I wanted to display my text beside the place where current system time is displayed in the system tray.

Any idea?

Do you want a traytip?
See command TrayTip

toralf, you read too fast...
Right now, I don't know if this can be easily done in AHK. I know some Windows utilities that replace the clock, but I don't know how they do that.
Another solution, if the integer is small, is to use a custom icon...

Interesting...
I found the original Tclock page:
Kazubon page on Tclock
Too hard to understand for me, so I used Google to translate it...
What I understand from that gibberish is we need to sub-class the clock window, to manage painting for it. The problem is that, if I understand correctly, the code for sub-classing must live in a DLL, so it can share the memory of the hijacked process.
So, no possible solution with AutoHotkey...
