Tray Pause Notification

[James]

I was wondering if it would be possible for AutoIt tray notifications to be sent before the message is sent to the script? Sounds confusing, sorry.

Basically, if we have the default pause/exit tray items in our script ($TRAY_ITEM_PAUSE and $TRAY_ITEM_EXIT), what if we want to send an event when the item is clicked, we're unable to do so because AutoIt automatically jumps to the expected state.

The exit item is easy to solve with the use of OnAutoItExitRegister(), however there is no way to poll the pausing of the script.

Discuss.

You can solve all these problems with a custom tray menu. No?

Opt("trayMenuMode", 1)

I personally think is very strange default behaviour, but thanks George!

This doesn't actually solve my problem. Well it does, however I shouldn't need to re-create the default items if they're supposed to be default.

I thought you wanted to get rid of the default pause behavior.

Edit: Take a look at Opt("TrayAutoPause") instead and see if that's what you want. That will stop the script from pausing as soon as you click the tray icon.
