TrayTip issues

[BlueScreen]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to run TrayTip command "in the background"

e.g.

TrayTip ("Status","NotePad is being opened",15,1)

Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Although the timeout of the TrayTip is 15 seconds, the user will not see the TrayTip.

However, I don't want to delay the opening of notepad.

Is there a solution?

See if this is acceptable:

Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
TrayTip ("Status","NotePad is being opened",15,1)
Sleep(3000)
Exit

Unfortunately, No.

I would not like the code to stop running while the traytip message appear.

Is there another solution?

Would this work ?

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

TrayTip ("Status","NotePad is being opened",15,1)

while WinExists ( "Notepad",)

Sleep(1000)

wend

Exit

Hi BlueScreen,

I would recommend making it:

While WinExists(" - Notepad")

If someone happened to have a program running called "SuperNotepad" running or was editing a word document called "New line of 3M Notepads.doc" you would wind up with false positives without implimenting my suggestion.

Cheers,

Christian Blackburn is right--I've encountered this issue!

BTW, the SplashTextOn function is an alternative method worth considering.
