Tray Icon on Windows 7

[mattw112 2]

I am trying to test the trayseticon command. Nothing fancy.

Basically:

TraySetIcon("wucltux.dll", 1)
While 1
   Sleep (60000)
WEnd

But for some reason the autoit icon is always the same old one. I've also tried using the full path to the dll with no luck.

Thanks,

Terry

By the way it is Windows 7 X64. Not sure if it matters though.

Really?!? All I get when it launches it the normal AutoIt tray icon??

Any idea what could cause it to be different?

Thanks,

Are you x64 as well? or just same OS?

Win7 64bit Ultimate here, and it works too. Maybe there's a problem with you environment variables / dll location? You refer to "wucltux.dll" without a path...

Working for me too.

Win 7 x64.

Icon looks like "available updates" icon.

Icon looks like "available updates" icon.

I hope he is not trying to write some fake windows updater.

lol,

no

We use SCCM with WSUS to do updates and are looking to write something so the end users know more about what is going on as well as giving them more options around rebooting after updates are installed.

Right now just experimenting with this. Could use any icon I just thought this one would look familiar.

I've tried with a path too, with no luck.

Not sure what would be messed up,

This is a pretty straight forward build of Windows 7 enterprise X64.

hmm...

Thanks,

why do you need a tray icon? why not just remove it with #NoTrayIcon

Because we want the tray icon?? not sure I understand.

Like I stated we want to have the tray icon, we just want it to give better information

I still can't get it to work on my Win 7 enterprise x64 machine, not sure why pretty straight forward code.

I'll keep trying.

You are not by any chance using another trayseticon() someplace else in the script are you?

Nope just doing this basic code

TraySetIcon("wucltux.dll", 1)
While 1
   Sleep (60000)
WEnd

That's it for the whole script.

Having the same problem here on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Trayicon will not change, tried about 3 different exe's in different locations, using relative and absolute paths.

Seems that other trayicon related functions don't work either (like TrayCreateItem).

When clicking the AutoIT icon a red x will flash up (even with the reduced script only using TraySetIcon. I am absolutely new to AutoIT, so not sure if this is the expected behavior or not.

Used the installer to setup AutoIT. It installs to Program Files(x86), but includes the 64bit version AFAIK.

Try TraySetIcon example from the help file. If the icon number is the ordinal number, you should use negative numbers.

Well, guess what, it works now!

I tried for surely an hour last night but couldn't get it to work, but only posted here on the forum today - without running the script again.

I wanted to verify that TrayCreateItem will cause the script to fail as well... when it didn't I changed the code back and everything working now as expected... I dare say that the code exactly matches the version from last night (that failed). Maybe I missed something.

Or maybe some AutoIT dlls not being properly registered until after a restart? Just speculating here, since I don't really have a clue
