Confusion about TrayItemSetOnEvent

[rbm]

The TrayItemSetOnEvent documentation (copied below) seems to say that I can use the itemID returned by TrayCreateItem to hook an event up to the Tray item, but when I do nothing happens and the example code shows using -1 instead of an itemID (e.g. TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"ShowInfo")). I'd rather use TrayItemSetOnEvent(7,"myFunction1"), then TrayItemSetOnEvent(9,"myFunction2"), and so on.

Any ideas? Thanks.

TrayItemSetOnEvent

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defines a user-defined function to be called when a tray item is clicked.

TrayItemSetOnEvent ( itemID, "function" )

Parameters

itemID The item identifier (itemID) as returned by a TrayCreateItem function.

function The name of the user function to call.

Return Value

Success: Returns 1.

Failure: Returns 0,

Remarks

OnEvent functions are only called when the option TrayOnEventMode is set to 1 - when in this mode TrayGetMsg is NOT used at all.

Within the called user function the item identifier can be retrieved with @TRAY_ID.

If the function is an empty string "" the previous user-defined is disabled.

Example

#include <Constants.au3>

#NoTrayIcon

Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)

Opt("TrayMenuMode",1) ; Default tray menu items (Script Paused/Exit) will not be shown.

TraySetClick(16) ; Only secondary mouse button will show the tray menu.

$infoitem = TrayCreateItem("Info")

TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"ShowInfo")

TrayCreateItem("")

$exititem = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"ExitScript")

TraySetState()

While 1

Sleep(10) ; Idle loop

WEnd

Exit

; Functions

Func ShowInfo()

Msgbox(0,"Info","Tray OnEvent Demo")

EndFunc

Func ExitScript()

Exit

EndFunc

-1 is just a way to use the last created control. If you want to use the control ID you can, eg

$infoitem = TrayCreateItem("Info")
TrayItemSetOnEvent($infoitem,"ShowInfo")

Ah, yes, it does work fine. I could only get it to work if I also used:

Opt("TrayMenuMode",1) ; Default tray menu items (Script Paused/Exit) will not be shown.
