Reading text from the Tray

[Joboy2k]

Hello there,

 

I've been making a program for work that relys on hamachi running at all times (which unfortunately has become unreliable and disconnects itself)

I have been able to restart hamachi with a simple ControlSend("LogMeIn Hamachi","",1000,"{SPACE}").

 

What i'm having trouble with is being able to know when hamachi should be interacted with to turn it back online.

 

Using the window info tool i was able to get the details in the >>>>toolsbar<<<<< section that said "Hamachi - - Offline"

 

I can't find anywhere a command that will read this information, i have tried wingettext and controlgettext.

 

I have attached the photo from the info window. if someone could point me in the right direction that would be amazing thank you.

 

Thanks in advance.

You really should use the forum search, this would save you time.

From @Melba23:

#include <Array.au3>
#Include <GuiToolBar.au3>

Get_SysTray_IconText()

Func Get_SysTray_IconText()

    ; Find systray handle
    Local $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

    Local $aSysTray_ButtonText[$iSysTray_ButCount]

    ; Look for wanted tooltip
    For $iSysTray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSysTray_ButCount - 1
        $aSysTray_ButtonText[$iSysTray_ButtonNumber] = _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hSysTray_Handle, $iSysTray_ButtonNumber)
    Next

    _ArrayDisplay($aSysTray_ButtonText, "SysTray Icon Text", Default, 8)

EndFunc


Exit

thats worked perfectly thank you, i had looked around the forum but didn't realise that the GUI functions work on anything rather than just on autoit made GUI's.

 

Thank you so much

They work not on anything but on (nearly?) everything what Au3Info found.  I never had a Control found by Au3Info that was resistent against automation with a AutoIt-func which uses handles.
