need help with screenshot app - minimize to tray

ericjensen · August 10, 2010

Hi,

I'm not totally new to AutoIt, but this is the first GUI app I have tried to write and I am stuck on something. Plus I would like input on ways to make this app better.

First let me explain what I am trying to attempt:

We need a small program that will sit in the system tray and when a user clicks on it, the program will take a screen shot of the desktop.

Then the user will be presented with a window to fill in some information about the problem they where experiencing.

Then the user can click submit, this will email the screen shot and message off to our support department for their review.

I cannot take credit for the idea, it came from an open source project called Panic Button. I just wanted to write it in AutoIt instead of Python.

Everything works except when the gui gets minimized back to the tray, i can't click on the tray icon to show it up again. It works the first time, but thats it.

So here is my code, I cobbled it together from lots of posts here on the forums and I appreciate everyones contributions to the community.

If anyone can point out why the minimize to tray doesn't work after the first time that would be great.

Also feel free to point out my mistakes, I am almost embarrassed to post my code here since I am sure its not very good or efficient.

Thanks in advanced for your input.

; ??? loop while we display the gui ???  <-- need to understand this better
    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd

We all need to understand that one better. It seems to serve no purpose except to lock up your program. Try removing it.

I don't see a point in both of these event definitions:

TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYUP,"OpenGUI")
TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN,"OpenGUI")

It's going to kick off your program twice per click, I would think the PRIMARYUP event definitions alone would be sufficient.

Thank you Spiff59. :blink:

Removing one of the events and the while loop seems to have fixed things. You rock!

Is there anything else I could do better to make the program more effecient?

thanks again.
