 Posted: Thu Mar 08, 2007 8:39 am Post subject: Extract Informations about TrayIcons |
 |
|
It will display the infos of the current tray icons:
exename, classname, hWnd, nMsg (:Message ID), uID (:Icon ID), idn (:Button ID)
1) Using idn, can Hide/Show the tray icons:
HideTrayIcon(idn, True/False)
Can still control the trayicon after hidden, e.g., right-click:
PostMessage, nMsg, uID, 0x204, , ahk_id %hWnd%
PostMessage, nMsg, uID, 0x205, , ahk_id %hWnd%
2) Using 1-based index, can rearrage the trayicon from idxOld to idxNew:
MoveTrayIcon(idxOld, idxNew)
Actually, it can appy equally to task buttons too, replacing the last 1 in ToolbarWindow321 with appropriate number.
DOWNLOAD TrayIcon.ahk.

Kewl. I was looking at MSDN and I noted that adding tray icos can be done too.

Yes, basically using the same Shell_NotifyIcon, but need to provide more informations. The most important one may be hIcon. As a matter of fact, TrayIcons() function can extract hIcon too, so, can add back the deleted tray icons, in principle. However, there is one glitch: hIcon is not always the correct one for some apps, e.g., Process Explorer etc. So, I decided to not implement it.
May consider using HideTrayIcon(idn, true/false) (:note idn, it's not idx) instead. However, the traybar won't resize even after hiding a trayicon.
(:This symptom is now cured, so, it would be a better solution now.)

So, are you going to do Adding tray icons or me ?
I imagine this interface for the start:
| Code: | | AddTrayIcon( iconPath, onMouseLeft, onMouseRight="", onMouseMove="" ) |
with iconPath that can be specified as string or number in which case icon handle should be seen.

What purpose do you have in mind to add tray icons?
I may add an option to restore the tray icons removed although it won't work always. But, I don't have any further plan. So, I suppose it's up to you.
| Code: | | AddTrayIcon( iconPath, onMouseLeft, onMouseRight="", onMouseMove="" ) |
Basically, need hWnd, MessageID, and IconID which controls the tray icon and communicate with the shell. I think this can be done using OnMessage().
And, yes, then hIcon and sTooltip. |

You mean, besides setting multiple tray icons per script and things like that ? Like, CPU usage and MEM usage ? Script creating custom menus, and eatch menu being able to represent itself via tray ? I mean... why the fuk do you need tray icons in windows at all....

| As a matter of fact, I seldom use tray icons. The purpose of this script was to not click tray icons, at least for me. |

Excellent Script Sean! I was looking something like this for months.
This can be utilized for a complete boss mode script in order to hide all running processes instead of terminating them.
Thanks again for these wonderful functions.

Sean's RemoveTrayIcon function (see above) already does AddTrayIcon, as long as it's passed the proper parameters.
For example, if one were to add this to Sean's script:
| Code: | Process, Exist
WinGet, hWnd,, ahk_pid %ErrorLevel%
RemoveTrayIcon(hWnd,999,0,0,0)
|
you would already have a new blank icon. I changed the hWnd to the current one, the uID to a random one, a blank nMsg, a blank hIcon and the command to ADD (which is 0, while MODIFY is 1 and REMOVE is 2).
An interesting script would be the following:
| Code: | #Persistent
DetectHiddenWindows, On
Process, Exist
WinGet, hWnd,, ahk_pid %ErrorLevel%
AddTrayIcon(hWnd,101,0,0,0)
AddTrayIcon(hWnd,102,0,0,0)
AddTrayIcon(hWnd,103,0,0,0)
AddTrayIcon(hWnd, uID, nMsg = 0, hIcon = 0, nRemove = 2)
{
VarSetCapacity(ni, 68, 0)
EncodeInteger(&ni + 0, VarSetCapacity(ni))
EncodeInteger(&ni + 4, hWnd)
EncodeInteger(&ni + 8, uID)
EncodeInteger(&ni +12, 1|2|4)
EncodeInteger(&ni +16, nMsg)
EncodeInteger(&ni +20, hIcon)
DllCall("shell32\Shell_NotifyIconA", "Uint", nRemove, "Uint", &ni)
}
EncodeInteger(ref, val, nSize = 1)
{
DllCall("ntdll\RtlFillMemoryUlong", "Uint", ref, "Uint", nSize * 4, "Uint", val)
}
|
Why would anyone want that? Well, there are some people who place controls on the taskbar and need some "spacers"... |

Sure. Use exename like
| Code: | | TrayIcons("autohotkey.exe") |
If there exist multiple instances, it will also produce multiple results.
Now, I suppose it's easy to edit it to fit the need. |

Oh, ok.
I did it a different way, retrieving all the info then searching it for the strings I needed, but it looks like your way is a lot faster.
Thanks! |

Thanks for this script. It's just what I needed. There was an application which appeared from time to time in the tray, but it disappeared in 1 sec, so I couldn't click on it to determine what it is.
I added this code to the beginning of the script to pop up a message box when a new icon appears in the tray:
| Code: | prevtray =
loop
{
tr := TrayIcons()
if (tr <> prevtray)
MsgBox % tr
prevtray := tr
sleep 1000
}
|
and put this code before the line "sTrayIcons .= ..." to filter out my usual programs:
| Code: | if (instr(sTooltip, "volume") or ...)
continue
|
The misterious program turned to be the autoupdater of my firewall.
Thanks again for this script. |

there was a time when when i wanted to write my own small, custom shell to replace explorer. the roadblock i faced was that i didn't know how to add tray icons of applications (well, dllcall wasn't there in ahk at that time either).
now that could be one use.
