How to show a system tray. Topic is solved

[hancre]

I use this following script to confirm the system tray.
But it hasn't worked for a few days.

Code: Select all

#Delete:: ;Show System Tray 
If (!WinExist("ahk_class NotifyIconOverflowWindow"))
{
   Send #b
   Send {Space}
}
else
   WinClose, ahk_class NotifyIconOverflowWindow
return

And I realized that pressing windows & b and spacebar show the system tray.
Can I show the system tray pressing just window & b, without spacebar?
I tried system tray setting. But I can't find the way.

How can i fix the issue?
Thanks for any help in advance.

It worked when I tried it.

It usually works.
If I can't fix the issue in my notebook, I'll use #b and spacebar, not the script.
Thank you for your help. ^^;

I wonder if your script is part of a larger script.

Some debugging:

Code: Select all

#Delete::
MsgBox % WinExist("ahk_class NotifyIconOverflowWindow")
If WinExist("ahk_class NotifyIconOverflowWindow")
 WinClose
Else Send #b `
Return

Does the script work by itself, with no other code?

[hancre]

Your code works. ^^
What's ` in < Send #b `> ? ^^
I use it in a script starting at system startup. ( #NoTrayIcon )

I don't like the message box.
so I remove it. it works well, too.

Thank you for your help.

The script is the same as yours, just rearranged a bit. I also included the space after the #b. Your report suggests that something else in your script is interfering (i.e., a bug), or that your script never runs, or it exits prematurely. If you remove the #NoTrayIcon while you are debugging, it will improve your ability to verify that the script is running.

The backtick is a shorthand way of including a space at the end of a send. You can add a backtick after a trailing space to indicate that the trailing space should be included in the send. It is otherwise omitted. The backtick itself is not sent.

To eliminate the need to press the space bar:

Code: Select all

~#b::
If WinExist("ahk_class NotifyIconOverflowWindow")
 WinClose
Else Send {Space}
Return

Thanks again for your help.
I'm happy I learned the use of `.
It's useful for other case. ^^
