Recommended Posts

I found this in the help file (to set colour to the traymenu).

It works perfect but I want it on the fly (without shutting down te programm) to set it back to normal.

Is there a way to do that?

#include <Constants.au3>

Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1) ; Don't show the default tray context menu

Global Const $MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS   = 0x80000000
Global Const $MIM_BACKGROUND        = 0x00000002

TraySetIcon("shell32.dll", 21)
TraySetToolTip("This is just a small example to show that colored tray menus" & @LF & "are easy possible under Windows 2000 and higher.")

$OptionsMenu    = TrayCreateMenu("Options")
$OnTopItem      = TrayCreateItem("Always On Top", $OptionsMenu)
TrayItemSetState(-1, $TRAY_CHECKED)
$RepeatItem     = TrayCreateItem("Repeat Always", $OptionsMenu)
TrayCreateItem("")
$AboutItem      = TrayCreateItem("About")
TrayCreateItem("")
$ExitItem       = TrayCreateItem("Exit Sample")

SetMenuColor(0, 0xEEBB99)   ; BGR color value, '0' means the tray context menu handle itself
SetMenuColor($OptionsMenu, 0x66BB99); BGR color value

While 1
    $Msg = TrayGetMsg()

    Switch $Msg
        Case $ExitItem
            ExitLoop
        
        Case $AboutItem
            Msgbox(64, "About...", "Colored tray menu sample")
    EndSwitch   
WEnd

Exit


; Apply the color to the menu
Func SetMenuColor($nMenuID, $nColor)
    $hMenu  = TrayItemGetHandle($nMenuID) ; Get the internal menu handle
    
    $hBrush = DllCall("gdi32.dll", "hwnd", "CreateSolidBrush", "int", $nColor)
    $hBrush = $hBrush[0]
        
    Local $stMenuInfo = DllStructCreate("dword;dword;dword;uint;dword;dword;ptr")
    DllStructSetData($stMenuInfo, 1, DllStructGetSize($stMenuInfo))
    DllStructSetData($stMenuInfo, 2, BitOr($MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS, $MIM_BACKGROUND))
    DllStructSetData($stMenuInfo, 5, $hBrush)
    
    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetMenuInfo", "hwnd", $hMenu, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($stMenuInfo))
EndFunc

nend,

Just reset the colours to the original, which you can find using _WinAPI_GetSysColor:

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include <WinAPI.au3>

Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1) ; Don't show the default tray context menu

Global Const $MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS   = 0x80000000
Global Const $MIM_BACKGROUND        = 0x00000002

TraySetIcon("shell32.dll", 21)
TraySetToolTip("This is just a small example to show that colored tray menus" & @LF & "are easy possible under Windows 2000 and higher.")

$OptionsMenu    = TrayCreateMenu("Options")
$OnTopItem      = TrayCreateItem("Always On Top", $OptionsMenu)
TrayItemSetState(-1, $TRAY_CHECKED)
$RepeatItem     = TrayCreateItem("Repeat Always", $OptionsMenu)
TrayCreateItem("")
$AboutItem      = TrayCreateItem("About")
TrayCreateItem("")
$ResetItem      = TrayCreateItem("Reset")
TrayCreateItem("")
$ExitItem       = TrayCreateItem("Exit Sample")

$iOrg_MenuColour = _WinAPI_GetSysColor($COLOR_MENU)

SetMenuColor(0, 0xEEBB99)   ; BGR color value, '0' means the tray context menu handle itself
SetMenuColor($OptionsMenu, 0x66BB99); BGR color value

While 1
    $Msg = TrayGetMsg()

    Switch $Msg
        Case $ExitItem
            ExitLoop

        Case $AboutItem
            Msgbox(64, "About...", "Colored tray menu sample")

        Case $ResetItem
            SetMenuColor(0, $iOrg_MenuColour)
            SetMenuColor($OptionsMenu, $iOrg_MenuColour)

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Exit

; Apply the color to the menu
Func SetMenuColor($nMenuID, $nColor)
    $hMenu  = TrayItemGetHandle($nMenuID) ; Get the internal menu handle

    $hBrush = DllCall("gdi32.dll", "hwnd", "CreateSolidBrush", "int", $nColor)
    $hBrush = $hBrush[0]

    Local $stMenuInfo = DllStructCreate("dword;dword;dword;uint;dword;dword;ptr")
    DllStructSetData($stMenuInfo, 1, DllStructGetSize($stMenuInfo))
    DllStructSetData($stMenuInfo, 2, BitOr($MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS, $MIM_BACKGROUND))
    DllStructSetData($stMenuInfo, 5, $hBrush)

    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetMenuInfo", "hwnd", $hMenu, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($stMenuInfo))
EndFunc
