_GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton() does not click a proper icon

[JYoun]

Hi, I starting to create some test automation script using AutoIt v3 and still novice on it.

I want to right-click an icon in system tray on Windows 10 or 11 using _GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton(), but it does not click a proper icon.

This is my code for testing what button is clicked :

#Include <GuiToolBar.au3>
Global $hSysTray_Handle

Get_Systray_Info()
_GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, 5, "right", True)

Func Get_Systray_Info()
   ; Find systray handle
   $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', 'User Promoted Notification Area', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:2]')
   If @error Then
      MsgBox(16, "Error", "System tray not found")
      Exit
   EndIf
   Local $iSystray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle)
   If $iSystray_ButCount = 0 Then
      MsgBox(16, "Error", "No items found in system tray")
      Exit
   EndIf
   For $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 To ($iSystray_ButCount-1)
      $sButtonText = _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber)
      ConsoleWrite("Button Index : " & $iSystray_ButtonNumber & @CRLF)
      ConsoleWrite("Button Text : "& $sButtonText & @CRLF)
   Next

EndFunc

As for console output, index 5 is a button that I want to click. But when `_GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, 5, "right", True)` has executed, the button index 4 is clicked.

If I change the index parameter of `_GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton` to 6, it clicks button #6. And for index parameter 4, it clicks button #3.

I suspecting that AutoIt cannot calculate width of systray buttons properly. Is there any method to define or adjust the width of buttons?

Thank you.

On my Win10, it is instance 3 not 2.  And all buttons are correctly pushed.

this how you Sort Button by Command:

#include <GuiToolBar.au3>
;;Tested in Win 7 [Instance:1]
Global $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', 'User Promoted Notification Area', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:1]')
_GUICtrlToolbar_SortByButton($hSysTray_Handle)
Func _GUICtrlToolbar_SortByButton($hSysTray_Handle)
    Local $iSystray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle)
    For $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSystray_ButCount - 1
        _GUICtrlToolbar_MoveButton($hSysTray_Handle, _GUICtrlToolbar_CommandToIndex($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber), $iSystray_ButtonNumber)
    Next
EndFunc   ;==>_GUICtrlToolbar_SortByButton

As for console output, index 5 is a button that I want to click. But when `_GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, 5, "right", True)` has executed, the button index 4 is clicked.

and this how you click Button by command:

Global $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', 'User Promoted Notification Area', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:1]')
_GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButtonByCommand($hSysTray_Handle, 1)
Func _GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButtonByCommand($hSysTray_Handle, $Button, $Click = "right", $tp = True)
    _GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, _GUICtrlToolbar_IndexToCommand($hSysTray_Handle, _GUICtrlToolbar_CommandToIndex($hSysTray_Handle, $Button)), $Click, $tp)
EndFunc   ;==>_GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButtonByCommand

i did little fix on your script:

#include <GuiToolBar.au3>
Global $hSysTray_Handle

Get_Systray_Info()

Func Get_Systray_Info()
    ; Find systray handle
    $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', 'User Promoted Notification Area', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:1]')
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(16, "Error", "System tray not found")
        Exit
    EndIf
    Local $iSystray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle)
    If $iSystray_ButCount = 0 Then
        MsgBox(16, "Error", "No items found in system tray")
        Exit
    EndIf
    For $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 To ($iSystray_ButCount - 1)
        $sButtonText = _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber)
        ConsoleWrite("Button Text : " & $sButtonText & @CRLF)
        ConsoleWrite("Button Index : " & $iSystray_ButtonNumber & @CRLF)

    Next

EndFunc   ;==>Get_Systray_Info

@Nine Thank you for reply. My testing environment is Win11, and I'll check again on Win10.

@ad777 Thank you very much for solution. Actually it does not exactly works in my environment(still clicks right next of target icon), but I got some clue from your solution - move target icon to the corner of system tray and click it using IndexToCommand and CommandToIndex. Seems works fine currently and I'll try to test in another environments.
