Need Little Help With Toggleling

[slightly_abnormal]

I've been messing with a hotkey which would hide tray when alt+t is pressed and then appear when alt+t is pressed again, but it just hides the tray, this is loosely based of Andrew Sparkes's code http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23371 i have no idea of any other ways, or why it doesn't work..

Global $trayiconhide="0"

HotKeySet("!t","_traytog")

Func _Traytog()
While 1
If $trayiconhide="0" Then
opt("trayiconhide",1)
If $trayiconhide=1 Then $trayiconhide="0"
Exitloop
EndIf
If $trayiconhide="1" Then
opt("trayiconhide",0)
If $trayiconhide=1 Then $trayiconhide="1"
Exitloop
EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc

while 1
    sleep(200)
wend

Global $trayiconhide = 0

HotKeySet("!t", "_Traytog")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Terminate")

While 1
    Sleep(200)
    If $trayiconhide = 1 Then
        Opt("trayiconhide", 1)
    Else
        Opt("trayiconhide", 0)
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _Traytog()
    $trayiconhide = Not $trayiconhide
EndFunc  ;==>_Traytog

Func _Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc  ;==>_Terminate

Maybe take the quotes off the numeric value in your If statements, and I'm not sure I follow your logic:

; Assuming $trayiconhide is only 0 or 1
Func _Traytog()
     If $trayiconhide=0 Then
          opt("trayiconhide",1)
          $trayiconhide=1
     Else
          opt("trayiconhide",0)
          $trayiconhide=0
     EndIf
EndFunc

I didn't understand why you needed the While() loop in your hotkey function.

I noticed the problems with the quotes also, here's a shortend version

Global $trayiconhide = 0

HotKeySet("!t", "_Traytog")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Terminate")

While 1
    Sleep(200)
WEnd

Func _Traytog()
    $trayiconhide = Not $trayiconhide
    Opt("trayiconhide", $trayiconhide)
EndFunc  ;==>_Traytog

Func _Terminate()
    Exit
EndFunc  ;==>_Terminate

Nice, tight _Traytog() function!

I'm always too wordy in mine... old dog... new tricks... etc.

I put while 1, so it wont exit out.

yeah.. very compact.. suprised at all the ways you can do one function
