How to remove systray icon after process was closed?

[genaro]

After I close my program

Code: Select all

	Process, close, Lingvo.exe   
	Process, close, Lvagent.exe
	Process, close, Lvagent64.exe

it leaves an icon in the lower right corner until I hover on it. How do I get rid of the icon right away?

Hi genaro,

The method that I use is thanks to Cyruz, Sean, and FanaticGuru, and their awesome TrayIcon Library. The version that I'm using is here:
https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=9186#p9186

The key to the solution is to remove the icon before doing the Process,Close via a call like this:

TrayIcon_Remove(hWnd,uID)

Works a charm! Regards, Joe

I've no idea how to use. Should I change hwnd with something?

I presume that you know about parameters in functions. If not, study the doc here:
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Functions.htm#param

All of the parameters in the library's functions are defined in the TrayIcon_GetInfo function. The call to TrayIcon_Remove requires hWnd and uID as params. You can get those easily with a call to TrayIcon_GetInfo, where the param is the name of the executable. Once you get hWnd and uID from TrayIcon_GetInfo (keep in mind that it returns an object), call TrayIcon_Remove with those params. Do that for each of your three executables before you do the Process,Close on each.

Let me know if you need additional help writing the script. Regards, Joe

Hi genaro,
I haven't heard back from you on my previous post and I'm going offline now for the evening, so I'll leave you with some code that works with one of your executables:

Code: Select all

ProgramEXE:="Lingvo.exe"
oTrayInfo:={}
oTrayInfo:=TrayIcon_GetInfo(ProgramEXE)
For index,item in oTrayInfo
{
  UniqueID:=item.uID
  Handle:=item.hWnd
}
TrayIcon_Remove(Handle,UniqueID)
Process,Close,%ProgramEXE%

You could parameterize it into a function for your other two executables (and, potentially, other executables in the future) or do it the easy way and copy/paste the snippet twice, changing the ProgramEXE assignment statement to have Lvagent.exe in one copy and Lvagent64.exe in the second one. Of course, you'll need to have the library in your script or via #Include TrayIconLibrary.ahk. Regards, Joe

Here's a script with no dependencies:

Code: Select all

q:: ;systray - remove icons for closed processes

	return

vIndex := vCount-1 ;0-based index
Loop % vCount

	VarSetCapacity(RECT, 16, 0)
	SendMessage, 0x41D, % vIndex, % pBuf,, % "ahk_id " hCtl ;TB_GETITEMRECT := 0x41D

	vPosY := NumGet(&RECT, 4, "Int")
	vPosW := NumGet(&RECT, 8, "Int") - vPosX
	vPosH := NumGet(&RECT, 12, "Int") - vPosY
	vPosX += vPosW/2, vPosY += vPosH/2
	PostMessage, 0x200, 0, % (vPosX & 0xFFFF)|(vPosY<<16),, % "ahk_id " hCtl ;WM_MOUSEMOVE := 0x200
	vIndex--

	;CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
	;MouseMove, % vCtlX + vPosX, % vCtlY + vPosY ;to visually the confirm coordinates
	;Sleep, 100
}

;remote access: close

DllCall("kernel32\CloseHandle", "Ptr",hProc)
MsgBox, % "done"
return

Here's a simpler script, but that requires Acc:

Code: Select all

;Acc library (MSAA) and AccViewer download links - AutoHotkey Community

q:: ;systray - remove icons for closed processes (via Acc)
;tested on Windows 7
DetectHiddenWindows, On
WinGet, hWnd, ID, ahk_class NotifyIconOverflowWindow
oAcc := Acc_Get("Object", "4.2.4", 0, "ahk_id " hWnd)
vCount := oAcc.accChildCount()
hCtl := Acc_WindowFromObject(oAcc)
;WinGetPos, vWinX, vWinY,,, % "ahk_id " hWnd
WinGetPos, vCtlX, vCtlY,,, % "ahk_id " hCtl

vIndex := vCount
Loop % vCount
{
	oRect := Acc_Location(oAcc, vIndex)
	vPosX := Round(oRect.x + oRect.w/2) - vCtlX
	vPosY := Round(oRect.y + oRect.h/2) - vCtlY
	PostMessage, 0x200, 0, % (vPosX & 0xFFFF)|(vPosY<<16),, % "ahk_id " hCtl ;WM_MOUSEMOVE := 0x200
	vIndex--

	;CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
	;MouseMove, % vCtlX+vPosX, % vCtlY+vPosY ;to visually confirm the coordinates
	;Sleep, 100
}

oAcc := oRect := ""
MsgBox, % "done"
return

Here's a script to generate icons (for terminated processes) to be removed:

Code: Select all

;systray - start script and terminate it (leave icons in the systray)
;warning: terminates the script
DetectHiddenWindows, On
WinGet, vPID, PID, % "ahk_id " A_ScriptHwnd
SoundBeep
Process, Close, % vPID
return
