Hi,

Sorry to bring up this old topic. It is a very nifty script (icontray.ahk), but I'm experiencing some trouble with it. I modified it to my needs to load a program and then hide the icon from the taskbar. But I have to use sleep so the process exists before it can be hidden. This works when the computer has already started but not after startup.

Code:

Run, csrsmsg.exe, A_WorkingDir, UseErrorLevel
Sleep, 2250

TrayIcons("csrsmsg.exe")


Code:

If !sExeName || (sExeName = sProcess) || (sExeName = pid)
      {
         If sExeName = DUMeter.exe { HideTrayIcon(idn, !(GetTrayIconState(idn) & 0x8))}
         DllCall("ReadProcessMemory", "Uint", hProc, "Uint", iString, "Uint", &wTooltip, "Uint", 128 * 2, "Uint", 0)
         DllCall("WideCharToMultiByte", "Uint", 0, "Uint", 0, "str", wTooltip, "int", -1, "str", sTooltip, "int", 128, "Uint", 0, "Uint", 0)
         sTrayIcons .= "idx: " . A_Index - 1 . " | idn: " . idn . " | Pid: " . pid . " | uID: " . uID . " | MessageID: " . nMsg . " | hWnd: " . hWnd . " | Class: " . sClass . " | Process: " . sProcess . "`n" . "   | Tooltip: " . sTooltip . "`n"
         HideTrayIcon(idn) =>> added this
      }


Might there be a solution for this ? To check if the process exists so I wouldn't have to use the sleep command(which isn't foolproof, and the longer the sleep the greater the chance of the user noticing the icon). Or will does never work while starting up ? Help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

May use this:
Code:
Process, Wait, csrsmsg.exe

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't work.

Code:
Run, csrs.exe, A_WorkingDir, UseErrorLevel

=> This should return 0 as ErrorLevel

Wait: Waits up to Param3 seconds (can contain a decimal point) for a matching process to exist. If Param3 is omitted, the command will wait indefinitely. If a matching process is discovered, ErrorLevel is set to its Process ID (PID). If the command times out, ErrorLevel is set to 0.

Exist: Sets ErrorLevel to the Process ID (PID) if a matching process exists, or 0 otherwise. If the PID-or-Name parameter is blank, the script's own PID is retrieved. An alternate, single-line method to retrieve the script's PID is PID := DllCall("GetCurrentProcessId")

Code:
Process, Exist, csrs.exe

=> So this should give me the pid of the process if it exists. Directly afterwards I should be able to use the HideTrayIcon function but it doesn't work. Confused .Anymore suggestions ?

Thanks,

Tim

I noticed you used UseErrorLevel with Run, and I don't think Process Wait essentially delays the retrieval any further than it. So if the former doesn't work then the latter may not work either. Anyway, the simplest solution may be just Loop TrayIcons("csrsmsg.exe") itself after tweaking it so as to return true when it really found one.

Might this be suitable for the Lib?
