[SOLVED] Possible to get coordinates systray icon

[nend]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to make a custom traysettooltip but I can't find a good way to know when the cursor is hover over and leave the tray icon.
I'm trying to do this by $TRAY_EVENT_MOUSEOVER and use a timer but how can I recognise if the cursor is left the icon?

This is what I have so far, but there has to be a betterway this isn't much reliable.

expandcollapse popup

#NoTrayIcon
#include <TrayConstants.au3>

Global $tray_tmr, $tray_pos, $tray_tmr, $tmr_notification, $notification

Opt("TrayMenuMode", 3)
TraySetToolTip(Chr("0"))

Local $idExit = TrayCreateItem("Exit")



TraySetState($TRAY_ICONSTATE_SHOW) ; Show the tray menu.

While 1
    Switch TrayGetMsg()
        Case $TRAY_EVENT_MOUSEOVER
            If $tray_tmr = False Then
                $tray_pos = MouseGetPos()
                $tray_tmr = True
                $tmr_notification = TimerInit()
            EndIf
        Case $idExit ; Exit the loop.
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch

    If $tray_tmr = True Then
        If TimerDiff($tmr_notification) > 1000 And $notification = False Then
            ConsoleWrite("--> Notification" & @CRLF)
            $notification = True
        EndIf

        Local $mousetgetpos = MouseGetPos()
        If Not @error Then
            If $notification = True Then
                If $tray_pos[0] < $mousetgetpos[0] -12 Or $tray_pos[0] > $mousetgetpos[0] + 12 Or $tray_pos[1] > $mousetgetpos[1] +20 Or $tray_pos[1] < $mousetgetpos[1] -20 Then
                    $tray_tmr = False
                    ConsoleWrite("<-- Out Notification" & @CRLF)
                    $notification = False
                Else
                    $tmr_notification = TimerInit()
                EndIf
            EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

Hi @nend.

_WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect

You may experience problems with the example, if you use Windows 10. Just save a copy and remove the if code block.

Edit:

There may be a event that will help you, from the Windows API, but i can't find anything currently.

So my suggestion for the icon leave event problem would be setting a low level mouse hook with _WinAPI_SetWindowsHookEx ($WH_MOUSE_LL) on the $TRAY_EVENT_MOUSEOVER event, and removing the hook once the mouse leaves the area specified from _WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect.

 

Also i would suggest you looking into: AutoItSetOption("GUIOnEventMode", 1), AutoItSetOption("TrayOnEventMode", 1), GUISetOnEvent and TraySetOnEvent

 

Hopefully some of this will help you reaching your solution.

@genius257 Thanks for your reply

It sure looks good, but I'm having some few issues.
- how to get the the handle from the parent window of my own tray menu icon which I use in this program so that I can use  _WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect ?
- If I use #include <Array.au3> in the script this example doesn't work anymore, mabey it has something to do with "WinGetHandle(AutoItWinGetTitle())"

I hoop you can help so I'm gonna finnish my script.

EDIT:
I think I found the problem, I had to put a sleep(200) after making the tray menu.
I think it had to do with that the icon isn't yet build before _WinAPI_ShellNotifyIconGetRect.
