State table

State Value Comments
No Change 0
$TRAY_CHECKED 1 Menuitem will be checked
$TRAY_UNCHECKED 4 Menuitem will be unchecked
$TRAY_ENABLE 64 Menuitem will be enabled
$TRAY_DISABLE 128 Menuitem will be greyed out
$TRAY_FOCUS 256 Menuitem will be selected
$TRAY_DEFAULT 512 Menuitem will be set as default menuitem

State values can be summed up as for example $TRAY_CHECKED + $TRAY_DEFAULT sets the menuitem in an checked and default state.

To reset/delete the $TRAY_DEFAULT-state for a menuitem just use this function on the item with another state, for instance with $TRAY_ENABLE.

When you set $TRAY_DEFAULT state for a menuitem, the default behavior of primary double click on tray icon is to execute this default menuitem. To disable this behavior use Opt("TrayMenuMode", 4).

The above constants are defined in #include <TrayConstants.au3>.
