hidden icons windows

[Epulone]

I am learning  to use Autoit just for simple things as I am a very beginner. At the moment I am using it most of all to automate installation programs. I have some problem using windows information tool on hidden icon because I would like to disable a program clicking on the icon present there.

MouseClick command work in all task-bar except on the arrow hidden icon. Although i could find a way the really issue is tat once I click on finder tool to point to the program icon the the hidden icon window disappear....the same happen also when I want to select for example setting tab by start button.

What would be the best way to solve it?

Thanks

I got confused about the issue, but i think you're talking about using the info tool, and things disappear when you click  the finder tool to drag on top of what you want to get information.

Use Ctrl + Alt + F to freeze/unfreeze, that way you dont need to drag the tool.

Thanks Careca,

I have to disable a program that is working in background ,so the only way for me to disable ( or enable) it is accessing it by the system try icon and clickking on the icon > right -click =disable<  Mouseclick primary or controlclick seems not working, I mean if I point the narrow "system try icon" on the task > Mouseclick primary doesn't open the windows icons ( i discovered Mouseclick secondary works ). I can't use controlclick because "windows info" is not able to find the "title" of this widows or icon to use....

What can I use to popup the system try icon windows ?

Using Use Ctrl + Alt + F  i solved the second issue finding  the coordinate of the icon I need to disable.  >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH

The problem i see is the icon may change position, and if you do that by coordinates, it will fail in the future.

Sadly, besides UIAutomation i don't know another way to do that.
