Hi.
I've read a lot about this topic and i'm sorry to open a new one, but I can't undrstand anything written on these topics Sad
There is too much code and I can't find the little part that I need.

I need to hide the tray icon of one active process.
I can run that program from an ahk script.

I understood there is something to do with TB_DELETEBUTTON or TB_HIDEBUTTON.
I think I should do 2 things:
1) Find the ID of the try icon of my process
2) Send a message (maybe TB_HIDEBUTTON) to the trybar telling to hide that icon.

Can someone help me with an easy and (I hope so) short way to do that?

Thank you and sorry if my question was already answered.

heIt's not really a hard code. Just place
Code:

#NoTrayIcon


At the top of the script.

For example;

Code:

#NoTrayIcon

Some sort of code goes here.



Done hope that helped.

Well this hides Autohokey's Tray Icon, not the icon of another process.

I need to run an exe and hide the tray icon that exe creates.

I think he wants his .exe to hide another .exe's tray icon.

Am i right, kidmar?

Ya I am also looking at hiding an annoying and pointless system tray icon. I'm new here and I only have a little programming experience.

Anyway, I looked at the "Extract Informations about TrayIcons" thread but didn't understand it fully or get it to work.

I know it looks like this problem has been answered before but I just don't understand or get it to work.

The key is how you're gonna identify the target application. After that it's straightforward. You can use application name or PID for that. For example, suppose the name of the target application is app.exe, then it becomes
Code:
RegExMatch(TrayIcons("app.exe"), "(?<=idn: )\d+", idn), HideTrayIcon(idn)

Ok here is the solution:

Download the AHK script TrayIcon.ahk.
You can find it here:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic17314.html

It has many functions to work with TrayIcons.
If you want to hide "yourapp.exe" edit that script.
Cut off this:
Code:
MsgBox % TrayIcons()

And place this instead of it:
Code:
RegExMatch(TrayIcons("yourapp.exe"), "(?<=idn: )\d+", idn) ; This finds out the ID of the Tray Icon of "yourapp.exe"
HideTrayIcon(idn) ; This hides that icon :D


This works to me.
