Get Menu options from context menu on sys tray's buttons

[jdelaney]

I was able to find a bit of code to get the MenuBarInfo from the sys tray buttons (when opened through a right click), but I'm unable to pull any information except for the pos of the menu. Would someone verify what I'm doing wrong?

Run this script, open your sys tray, and right click on any button...

#include <GuiMenu.au3>
While 1
;If WinActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then ;Makes sure not any active ContextMenu is accepted
If WinExists("[CLASS:#32768]") Then ;Makes sure it is a ContextMenu.
  $SomeName = _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenuBarInfo(WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32768]" ), 0, 0)
  MsgBox(64,"Information about the current ContextMenu",$SomeName[0]&" - X coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle"[email="&@CRLF"]&@CRLF[/email]& _
  $SomeName[1]&" - Y coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle"[email="&@CRLF"]&@CRLF[/email]& _
  $SomeName[2]&" - X coordinate of the lower right corner of the rectangle"[email="&@CRLF"]&@CRLF[/email]& _
  $SomeName[3]&" - Y coordinate of the lower right corner of the rectangle"[email="&@CRLF"]&@CRLF[/email]& _
  $SomeName[4]&" - Handle to the menu bar or popup menu"[email="&@CRLF"]&@CRLF[/email]& _
  $SomeName[5]&" - Handle to the submenu"[email="&@CRLF"]&@CRLF[/email]& _
  $SomeName[6]&" - True if the menu bar has focus, otherwise False"[email="&@CRLF"]&@CRLF[/email]& _
  $SomeName[7]&" - True if the menu item has focus, otherwise False"[email="&@CRLF"]&@CRLF[/email]& _
  _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemCount ( $SomeName[4])&" - Count of Items...used in For loop."   )
  For $iItemNumber  = 0 To _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemCount( $SomeName[4] ) - 1 Step 1
   $iItemID   =  _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemID  ( $SomeName[4], $iItemNumber, True )
   $sItemText   =  _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText  ( $SomeName[4], $iItemID, False )
   msgbox ( 4096, "test", "CurrentItemNumber=[" & $iItemNumber & "] includes ItemID=[" & $iItemID & "] and text=[" & $sItemText & "]." )
  Next
EndIf
WEnd

I guess I should mention what I'm attempting to accomplish. I want to find, and then select, a given item. If I can find the item by it's text value, then I can take it from there, but the script above is unable to pull the text of the item.

Ugh, I'm able to get the text of others, but not the one I need. Not sure why I am able to view the text of some popups, and not others.

#include <GuiMenu.au3>
While 1
;If WinActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then ;Makes sure not any active ContextMenu is accepted
If WinExists("[CLASS:#32768]") Then ;Makes sure it is a ContextMenu.
  $SomeName = _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenuBarInfo(WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32768]" ), 0, 0)
  $iCount = 0
  Local $asTest[1][2]
  For $i = $SomeName[1]+9 To $SomeName[3] - 1 Step 25
   MouseMove ( $SomeName[0]+35, $i )
   Sleep (250)
   $stest   = _GUICtrlMenu_MenuItemFromPoint( 0, $SomeName[4], -1, -1 )
   $sItemText  = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText   ( $SomeName[4], $stest, True )
   ReDim $asTest[$iCount+1][2]
   $asTest[$iCount][0] = $stest
   $asTest[$iCount][1] = $sItemText
   $iCount = $iCount + 1
  Next
  _ArrayDisplay ( $asTest )
EndIf
WEnd

Last one, and I'm done .

This is all to work with MagicDisk. There is another way to "mount" an iso, through right clicking on the ISO...even in that menu, I'm not able to view the text of the item. I can see it all but the magic disc. At least I can find it by looking for the one with no text :/

Here is the full menu i can see:

[0]|0|&Open

[1]|2|Scan for &viruses

[2]|4|Edit with &Notepad++

[3]|5|

[4]|7|S&hare with

[5]|8|Scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

[6]|9|Restore previous &versions

[7]|11|Se&nd to

[8]|13|Cu&t

[9]|14|&Copy

[10]|16|Create &shortcut

[11]|17|&Delete

[12]|18|Rena&me

[13]|20|P&roperties

jdelaney,

I have had mixed success with getting the text from tray menus - many of them seem to be user-drawn and so cannot be examined using the _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText function. Does the "MagicDisk" item have a pretty graphic by chance? I have often found that to be a good indicator. I posted some code here which showed whether the items are indeed user drawn - but alas not how to then read them.

However, I have found that these menus often respond to "Accelerator" keypresses - have you tried that? It looks as if the other items on the menu are, so perhaps the "MagicDisk"item is too - "M" and "D" seem like obvious choices for experimentation!
