The code:

Menu, Tray, Add, Tile&Horizontally, TileHorizontally
Menu, Tray, Default, Tile&Horizontally

Menu, Tray, Add, Tile&Vertically, TileVertically
Menu, Tray, Add, E&xit, MenuExit

etc...

The default command set the tile horizontally as default action whenever I click it with left mouse, now how to do this: after clicking once, the default will change to tile vertically by the same left click and after clicking again, it will change to tile horizontally? In other words, I only want to use the left mouse to click to change the tiles in stead of right clicking the tray button, which will show the options of tilehorizontally, tilevertically and exit.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it but assigning a Hotkey could do the trick:

Thanks for the help. I post herewith the solution:-

Objective:
To tile the open windows into horizontally or vertically alternately by only left clicking the icon in tray. It's useful if you always hide your taskbar.

First Step:
Create scripts for Tile Windows Horizontally. Copy the bold (new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).TileHorizontally() to notepad and save as "TileHorizontally.js" (yes, Include the quotation mark).

Create scripts for Tile Windows Vertically. Copy the bold (new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).TileVertically() to notepad and save as "TileVertically.js" (yes, Include the quotation mark).

These are JScript Script File type. Test the script by double-click it. Visit this link http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,107861,pg,2,00.asp for further details if you need to. Perhaps someone can write them by using AutoHotkey code in stead of JScript.

Second Step:
The AutoHotKey code:-

It worked for me. Thanks for the script. I'm new to AutoHotkey; i've used Linux before and have used various tiling window managers on there, such as Ion and my favorite WMI. I wish a script or program like this could emulate a tiling window manager, such as being able to resize windows tiled beside eachother and have both horizontal and vertical tiling. Is that just impossible on Windows shell?

You could search for alternative shells, but I doubt there's anything quite like Ion. Also, it's probably possible with AutoHotkey but there may be some overhead involved. Still, it sounds interesting, and I'll look into it later.
