No .exe Extension In Systray

[New Member]

Hi everybody, is there any way to have the system tray display only the script name without the extension when one moves the mouse over the autoit script icon in the system tray? e.g if i have a compiled script "test.exe", then i should see "test" in the systray, like with other programs, and not "test.exe", is this possible? thnx

Hi,

try this at beginning of your script.

TraySetToolTip(StringTrimRight(@ScriptName, 4))

So long,

From help file:

Displays a balloon tip from the AutoIt Icon. (2000/XP only)

TrayTip ( "title", "text", timeout [, option])

Parameters

title Text appears in bold at the top of the balloon tip. (63 characters maximum)

text Message the balloon tip will display. (255 characters maximum)

timeout A rough estimate of the time the balloon tip should be displayed. (Windows has a min and max of about 10-30 seconds but does not always honor a time in that range.)

option [optional] See Remarks. 0=No icon (default), 1=Info icon, 2=Warning icon, 3=Error icon

@MadBoy, thanx too, traytip from helpfile that you suggested did not solve the problem. The extension still showed, but Mega's just did what I wanted. Thanks for the quick response. NM
