Sn3akyP3t3 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Breevy is a text expander tool that is a handy productivity tool. However, it can interfere with Send commands to some windows if it is enabled and has the Typo AutoCorrections library imported and the utility is enabled. I seek to determine programmatically what the status of Breevy is either Enabled or Disabled. Via the GUI the utility presents the status as "Enabled" or "Disabled". This was my script to test with: ;With Breevy running and minimized If WinExists('Breevy') Then Opt('WinDetectHiddenText', 1) $hBreevy = WinGetHandle('Breevy') MsgBox(0,"",WinGetText($ hBreevy)) EndIf Results: Breevy.exe Summary of AutoIt v3 Window Info tool: >>>> Window <<<< Title: Breevy (Portable Mode) Class: gdkWindowToplevel Position: -8, -8 Size: 1296, 1010 Style: 0x17CF0000 ExStyle: 0x00000110 Handle: 0x00000000001309DE >>>> Control <<<< Class: Instance: ClassnameNN: Name: Advanced (Class): ID: Text: Position: Size: ControlClick Coords: Style: ExStyle: Handle: >>>> Mouse <<<< Position: 592, 10 Cursor ID: 0 Color: 0xC7D5E3 >>>> StatusBar <<<< >>>> ToolsBar <<<< >>>> Visible Text <<<< Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe Breevy.exe >>>> Hidden Text <<<< Breevy.exe Any tips or suggestions will be appreciated. Also, is what I'm seeking to achieve feasible via viewing text of the window when minimized to the task bar in the tray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 2, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2013 Sn3akyP3t3,minimized to the task bar in the trayDoes the traytip or traymenu text of the app change with its status? If so then we should be able to detect that when the app is minimized to the tray.

Sn3akyP3t3 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Melba23, Yes, the status does change, but I wasn't sure how to go about reading tray icon text. Using your script from I experimented and found that the icon can be found and the enabled/disabled status can be parsed. However, is there a technique to read hidden tray icons or is the only means to do so available if the icons are visible in the tray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted March 15, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2013 Sn3akyP3t3,Just action the button on the taskbar to show all the icons before actioning the one you want: expandcollapse popup#include <GuiToolBar.au3> Global $hSysTray_Handle HotKeySet("q", "_Show") HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit") While 1 Sleep(10) WEnd Func _Show() $iSysTray_ButtonNumber = _Get_Systray_Index("") ; Put your traytip text here as before <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< If @error Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "Icon not found in system tray") Exit EndIf ; Show hidden icons <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< $hTaskBarHandle = WinGetHandle("[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]", "") ControlClick($hTaskBarHandle, "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]") ; Action icon <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< _GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, $iSysTray_ButtonNumber, "right") EndFunc ;==>_Show Func _Get_Systray_Index($sText) ; 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 tooltip For $iSysTray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSysTray_ButCount - 1 If StringInStr(_GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hSysTray_Handle, $iSysTray_ButtonNumber), $sText) > 0 Then ExitLoop Next If $iSysTray_ButtonNumber = $iSysTray_ButCount Then Return SetError(1, 0, -1) ; Not found Else Return $iSysTray_ButtonNumber ; Found EndIf EndFunc ;==>Get_SysTray_Index Func _Exit() Exit EndFuncIt works fine on Vista - you might need to check the CLASS/INSTANCE values for the "Show" button on other OSes.
