johngreenwood Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Just wondering, can AutoIt check the system tray to see if an item matching certain criteria exists? I've been looking in the help file at the tray management section, and I can't seem to find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted June 17, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 17, 2010 johngreenwood, This code will click on an icon in the systray whose tooltip text matches the search string: expandcollapse popup#Include <GuiToolBar.au3> Global $hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber Global $sToolTipTitle = "" ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Enter some tooltip text for the icon you want here $iSystray_ButtonNumber = Get_Systray_Index($sToolTipTitle) If $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "Icon not found in system tray") Exit Else Sleep(500) _GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber, "right") EndIf Exit ;............ Func Get_Systray_Index($sToolTipTitle) ; Find systray handle $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', '', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:1]') If @error Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "System tray not found") Exit EndIf ; Get systray item count Local $iSystray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle) If $iSystray_ButCount = 0 Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "No items found in system tray") Exit EndIf ; Look for wanted tooltip For $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSystray_ButCount - 1 If StringInStr(_GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber), $sToolTipTitle) > 0 Then ExitLoop Next If $iSystray_ButtonNumber = $iSystray_ButCount Then Return 0 ; Not found Else Return $iSystray_ButtonNumber ; Found EndIf EndFunc As long as you know what the tooltip text is (or at least some of it) - you can very easily modify the code to find out if a particular app is in the systray. I hope that helps.
