making a little system tray graph

[sjorrel]

For the output of a small script I've been working on, I'd like it to show a graph in the system tray that gets updated periodically.

Is there is a simple way of building up a such system tray icon from within autoit?

TrayIcon() functions are supported (at least in the current betas) -- if you can generate your icon, you can display it in the systray.

TraySetIcon()

This may help you render the ICO files:

I personally use IconEdit32 for creating/editing simple icons, and I use @icon sushi for adding/extracting icons to/from a single icon library file.

Fake TaskManger tray icon example:

#Include <Constants.au3>
#NoTrayIcon;Hide the other AutoIt tray icon

Opt("TrayMenuMode",1); Default tray menu items (Script Paused/Exit) will not be shown.
$exititem = TrayCreateItem("Exit")
TraySetState()

$start = 0
While 1
    If TrayGetMsg() = $exititem Then ExitLoop
        
    $diff = TimerDiff($start)
    If $diff > 1000 Then
        TraySetIcon("taskmgr.exe",Random(4, 14))
        $start = TimerInit()
    EndIf
WEnd

Hey CyberSlug,

I was just playing with that @Icon Sushi and it's really neat but now I have another question for you as a Developer. Is there any way for me to compile the AutoIT script using a .icl file instead of .ico? I tried it but it gave me an error. It would be really neet to be able to do this so I would not have to FileInstall a seperate .icl file, I would just reference the @ScriptName with the IconID that I want.

Thanks,

Mike

I don't have anything to do with the Aut2Exe compiler, and I ended having to FileInstall an .icl to @TempDir for one of my projects. Jon has been updating Aut2Exe, so I'll check with him.
