Really Great Work!!!

This type of UDF programming is right up my alley. I have spent allot of time working with visual appearances in Autoit.

You have surpassed some of the things I was attempting to accomplish here..

Thanks for sharing,

This is an UDF to create Mac style toolbars, like MobyDock, ObjectDock...

enjoy

I noticed that it does not get the icon for, lnk files or .doc and xls. Right at the moment that is my only issue that I can't seem to overcome.

How ever, I can make it read the path to the .lnk file and then add my own icon but then I have to filechangedir then shellexecute in order to make the file open.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the UDF. It looks great. I have used an example posted here to try and put together a utility for my school.

Instead of calling an exe that is already installed on my machine, I'd like to click on an icon in the dock bar, and then have it call a function in my script. It seems like this is possible, but it is not obvious to me right now.

Here is the code I have.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <IconDock.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")
Global $iIconSizeMin = 48
Global $iIconSizeMax = 64

Global $hIconDock = _IconDock_Create(0,80 - $iIconSizeMax - $iIconSizeMin, @DesktopWidth, $iIconSizeMax + $iIconSizeMin, BitOR($IconDock_Align_Horizontal, $IconDock_Center), $IconDock_Up, $iIconSizeMin, $iIconSizeMax, True)
_IconDock_BeginUpdate($hIconDock)
Global $aIcon[8] = [7]
$aIcon[1] = _IconDock_IconSetIcon($hIconDock, 1, "d:BackupIconsAcroRd32.ico")
$aIcon[2] = @SystemDir & "taskmgr.exe"
$aIcon[3] = @SystemDir & "write.exe"
$aIcon[4] = @SystemDir & "notepad.exe"
$aIcon[5] = @SystemDir & "osk.exe"
$aIcon[6] = @SystemDir & "charmap.exe"
$aIcon[7] = @SystemDir & "mspaint.exe"

For $i = 1 To $aIcon[0]
If $i = 1 Then
  _IconDock_IconAdd($hIconDock, $aIcon[1], _AdobeReader(), $IconDock_RBUTTONDOWN);, $sText = ""[, $iX = 0[, $iY = 0]]]]])

_IconDock_IconAddFile($hIconDock, $aIcon[2], 0, "_EventFunction", $IconDock_RBUTTONDOWN)

        WEnd
        $WinPos2 = WinGetPos($hwdGuiBar, "")
        If ($WinPos[0] < $WinPos2[0] - 3) Or ($WinPos[1] < $WinPos2[1] - 3) Or ($WinPos[0] > $WinPos2[0] + 3) Or ($WinPos[1] > $WinPos2[1] + 3) Then
                $moved = True ; If the window was moved, don't run program on return.
        Else
                $moved = False
        EndIf
        Sleep(10)
        Return $moved
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
_IconDock_Destroy($hIconDock)
Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit
Func _AdobeReader()
MsgBox(0,"Adobe Reader", "Opening Adobe Reader")
Run("c:Program FilesAdobeReader 10.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe")
EndFunc

When I start the program it instantly tries to run the function, but I only want it to run when I click on the icon, which also doesn't appear.

If you can offer me any help, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hoooly snap this is awesome! lolol i literally giggled when i started using it.

hahahahahaha

edit:

would love to see some support for something other than .exe on the bar, such as loading links to webpages, etc, but i'll be working with this over the next few days to try and meet a project we are working on. if anything comes up i'll note it.

Still enjoying the heck out of this lol

hi 

how to set dock no always on top?

[qwert]

I just noticed this revived thread ... and the example sounds very worthwhile.

Great stuff eukalyptus

The art of GDI+ programming can be learned by your code

Br,

UEZ

Would anyone have current links?

With current version of autoit you'll need to rename $ghGDIPDLL to $__g_hGDIPDll in IconDock.au3

[qwert]

Thank you for that link.  It's good to see that such a dramatic example of GDI+ hasn't evaporated.

Excellent !

But when we compile this Script as 64-bit EXE, it does not work. 

What changes we have to do, so it can be compiled as 64-bit EXE ?
