Hi thanks for the link. But that thread doesn't seem to have what i need. The closest thing i can come up is to create a GUI without taskbar icon an minimize/restore the window with a hotkey.

I am also looking for same thing i suppose : a little script to put an application, which is already running (minimized or not), in the tray bar and minimized.

Later, it should be possible to restore this application, just doing a simple or double clic.

If somebody can provide us that, we will be very happy.

Best Regards

How about using WinSetState, see example in help file for use.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>

Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)   
Opt("TrayIconHide", 0)

TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYUP,"SpecialEvent")
TraySetState()


GuiCreate("MyGUI", 392, 316,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

GuiSetState()

While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE 
        
    GuiSetState(@SW_HIDE)
    Opt("TrayIconHide", 0)  

    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case Else
        ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd



Func SpecialEvent()
    GuiSetState(@SW_Show)
    Opt("TrayIconHide", 1)
EndFunc

Hi Chris,

When running the above code..I am getting the variable used before declaration error

C:\Scraps\test1.au3(8,37) : WARNING: $TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYUP: possibly used before declaration.

TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYUP,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

C:\Scraps\test1.au3(8,37) : ERROR: $TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYUP: undeclared global variable.

TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYUP,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

Using BETA version..

cheers,

I prefer single-click, and usually do something like this...

; example single-click to toggle main window
#include <Constants.au3>
AutoItSetOption("TrayMenuMode", 9)
AutoItSetOption("TrayOnEventMode", 1)

; left-click to show/hide the main window.
TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN, "Toggle")

TraySetClick(8) ; right-click to bring up the menu
TraySetState() ; show the tray menu
TraySetToolTip ("left-click to toggle the main window")

TrayCreateItem("Quit")
TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"Quit")

$me = "example"
$gui = GUICreate($me, 300, 300,)
GUISetState()
$quit = 0

while $quit = 0
wend

func Quit()
    $quit = 1
endfunc

func Toggle()
    $winstate = WinGetState($gui)
    if BitAnd($winstate, 2) then
        GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
    else
        GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    endif
endfunc

ps. I left in the extra "," after the width declaration because I have a running theme going (which no one will spot unless I mention it) of typos that still work. hahah

cheers,

Which beta?

The $tray_event_primaryup is declared int he constsnts.au3 file so did you leave the include constants.au3 at the top?

If not you could replace it with

TraySetOnEvent(-8,"SpecialEvent") and leave out the constants file

it is single click, it responds to a mouse up on the tray icon

ChrisL, I wasn't referring to your code.
