@SW_RESTORE and Buttons

[fett8802]

Hello All,

My problem is that I'm 'closing' a program to the tray instead of closing it outright. Many programs do this to save the room on the taskbar but keep the service running. It's a TCP monitoring program. Minimizing still minimizes to the taskbar. The actual program contains a significant amount of proprietary information, so I wrote a short replication script. This script operates very similarly to the program I've written and duplicates the problems.

When you first run the script, observe that you can click the "On" and "Off" buttons which activate/deactivates the opposing button. Now, minimize the program and restore it. Verify that you can still operate the buttons properly. Now, click the 'X-Out' button to close the program to the tray. You can now restore the program either by right clicking and selecting restore, or by double clicking. Observe that, after restoral, the buttons can no longer be clicked correctly but that all other functions (minimizing, tray menu) work correctly.

Let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks!

Note: After further testing, it seems like the program no longer recognizes the OnEvent for the buttons.

by adding

AutoItSetOption("trayicondebug", 1)

I found that your example is getting stuck on line 38 (the Sleep in your while 1 loop.) since the only 2 things it's checking are

$bToggle = 0 And $mToggle = 0

or

$bToggle = 1 And $mToggle = 1

my conclusion is that the flags are not set to either of those conditions (one of the flags is a 1 and the other is a 0)

*edit*

After adding a Gui to update and show the current toggle values of $bToggle and $mToggle, that is exaclt the problem

They are never both 0 or both 1, hence when you restore it gets stuck in the while loop waiting for a condition that will never happen

Use GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW, $gMain) instead of WinSetState(). It affects internal GUI handling. I assume GuiSetState(@SW_HIDE) suspends AutoIt's internal GUI handling to save on resources.

Thank you both very much for your timely responses. The above quote did the trick!

Ahh, I didn't even catch that

Normally I try not to mix command types like that just out of consistancy so I didn't notice the Win/Gui change
