hide app.exe systray icon?

[MrChris]

How would I go about hiding the systray icon that shows up when I launch my app.exe?

Would I have to use @SW_HIDE?

What I am looking to do is run an app.exe (that shows in systray) If double clicked on it brings up a dialog with a username and password prompt. I want to auto populate a username and password and hit ENTER, all automaticly. If that can be done?

Note: App.exe is not an autoit application.

Thanks,

MrChris

Look at the SysTray_UDF.au3

[MrChris]

Great I think that is what I was looking for.

But what about bringing that same app.exe that I want to hide to the forground? In other words, I want to make the same dialog box pop up that I get if I where to double click on the tray icon that I am wanting to hide?

MrChris

Have you looked any of the functions, what have you tried? I would have probably tried ControlClick() or something before I posted a question.

[MrChris]

ControlClick is what I had already tried and read about but it looks like it only works for dialog windows. And I seen MouseClick but that one would only work if the icon in the systray pops up in the same place every time.

Look for ClickInControl() in the search options for the forum by Larry.

[MrChris]

OK I read the ClickInControl that Larry did but, Doesn't that again require app.exe to be loaded in the same position every time?

I am trying to find out if the application in question has anyway to get the dialog asking for username and password to auto-pop up or if it can be used in a command line but I don't think there is.

Thanks again for the prompt reply,

I tried to

[SmOke_N]

Have you even looked at the SysTray UDF that I sent you too, isn't there a function there that returns the position (Hint: _SysTrayIconPos())? Wouldn't that be what you would use as the coords if used that ClickInControl function?

[MrChris]

Sorry for my ignorance, being a noobe to autoit I must have missed that part. I will look over it again and try to better understand what my options are and hope that I can find out how to use them.

Thanks again,

MrChris
