This is why i dont want to use TrayTip anymore

[tonycst]

Try this on windows 8 or 10.

Even when script is long gone, countless tray tips keep popping out.

So annoying.

TrayTip ("Title","Hello1",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello2",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello3",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello4",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello5",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello6",1)

They will stack one on top of another instead of closing previous and showing the current one.

Not to mention the delay is no longer working.

According to the help file: "To clear a balloon tip that is being displayed, call another tip with an empty text string (and any title)."
So what do you get when you set an empty tray tip at the end of your script?

TrayTip ("Title","Hello1",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello2",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello3",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello4",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello5",1)
TrayTip ("Title","Hello6",1)
TrayTip ("Title","")

You forgot to add 1

 

Does not work anyway.

 

Its funny how people reply without trying it first. Are you on XP or VIsta still ?

I'm running Windows 7 and you asked to test it on Windows 8 or 10

 

[tonycst]

oh yeah. 7 does not have that problem.

Traytip literally does nothing on my Win10 16257.rs_prerelease. 

So I have the opposite problem, but would come to the same conclusion and just use Melbas Toast UDF.

[tonycst]

What is prerelease  ?

Its out long time ago.

I dont know what is Toast UDF .

TrayTip needs to work as intended. I assume there were changes in the OS that autoit devs are not aware of regarding the traytip because timeout setting has absolutely no effect.

 its 12 days old.

Also, the entire OS has changed twice since the last major build of AutoIt, the UDFs fill those gaps.

Hi @tonycst, you are obviously annoyed.  Would you mind explaining more? I run a variety of WinXP, Win7, Win8 and Win10 computers.  TrayTips are used for a variety of "user updates" and mine all seem to work as expected.  Am I missing something?

Skysnake

[tonycst]

yea.

if you would at least try the script i made on windows 10 (i have professional if that makes any difference), you would notice that traytips keep poping out even when script ended.

Also does not matter what timeout you set, they keep poping at same rate about 6 seconds.

Try like 20  traytip's./ it will drive u mad

i am on Windows 10 Home, upgraded for free from Windows 8

running your script does the following on my pc...

toast notification in bottom right corner of screen pops out with "Title" "Hello1" with Autoit default icon. stays onscreen for about 5 seconds. notification disappears for about 1 second.

toast notification in bottom right corner of screen pops out with "Title" "Hello2" with Autoit default icon. stays onscreen for about 5 seconds. notification disappears for about 1 second.

toast notification in bottom right corner of screen pops out with "Title" "Hello3" with Autoit default icon. stays onscreen for about 5 seconds. notification disappears for about 1 second.

toast notification in bottom right corner of screen pops out with "Title" "Hello4" with Autoit default icon. stays onscreen for about 5 seconds. notification disappears for about 1 second.

toast notification in bottom right corner of screen pops out with "Title" "Hello5" with Autoit default icon. stays onscreen for about 5 seconds. notification disappears for about 1 second.

toast notification in bottom right corner of screen pops out with "Title" "Hello6" with Autoit default icon. stays onscreen for about 5 seconds. notification disappears and no more pop up.

Exactly the problem.

They keep popping out even when script is exited long time ago, not to mention the timeout setting dont work and they also should cancel previous one and just pop the new one, but they dont, they keep STACKING on top of another.

 

I use traytip for troubleshooting and status update on the script. Its only one line of code and is visual on the screen.

No more i guess.

That sounds like a Windows issue, because AutoIt isn't even running when it's happening.

N.B. I ran PowerShell script and it exhibits the exact same behavior.

[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")

$objNotifyIcon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon

$objNotifyIcon.Icon = "C:\Scripts\MyAutoIt3_Green.ico"
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = "Info"
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "Retrieving files from C:\Windows."
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = "Retrieving Files"

$objNotifyIcon.Visible = $True
$objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(10000)

Get-ChildItem C:\Windows

$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "The script has finished running."
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = "Files retrieved."

$objNotifyIcon.Visible = $True
$objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(10000)

Change the line for $objNotifyIcon.icon to the path to a legitimate icon file. It doesn't seem to use the icon for it, but without it the traytips won't show and I don't know enough PS to bother with a workaround.
