Open Systray Menu

[ReverendJ1]

Is it possible to open a systray menu without clicking it? i.e. I made a systray /w menu in autoit and want it to automatically open every once in a while, I am not trying to open a systray menu from another program.

Have you looked at the systray udf here.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...hl=systray++udf

It may (or may not) do what you want

You would need to use the _SysTrayIconPos() functions to find the coordinates of the Systray icon then automate a rightclick into your script against these coordinates.

Ok, this is still 'clicking' the icon but at least it is automated

following up rogdog's idea, you could log the mouse position before moving it to make it seem like its doing it without a right click... use the GetMousePos() to log it then setMousePos() to put it back

[rogdog]

Example code

CODE

#include <Systray_UDF.au3>

#include <Misc.au3>

Dim $ComboList

$a_Titles = _SysTrayIconTitles()

For $Title_index = 0 to UBound($a_Titles) -1

$pos = _SysTrayIconPos($Title_index)

If UBound($pos) = 2 Then $ComboList &= $Title_index &"_"&$a_Titles[$Title_index] &'|'

Next

$ComboList = StringTrimRight($ComboList,1)

GUICreate("Select Systray Icon to Right Click",320,130)

$Combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",10,10,300,20)

GUICtrlSetData(-1,$ComboList)

$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Right Click",10,100,100,20)

GUISetState ()

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $Button

$p = MouseGetPos()

$Index = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($Combo),"_")

$pos = _SysTrayIconPos($Index[1])

_MouseTrap ($pos[0]+10, $pos[1]+10, $pos[0]+10, $pos[1]+10)

MouseClick("Right")

_MouseTrap ($p[0], $p[1], $p[0], $p[1])

_MouseTrap ()

EndSelect

Thank you. That is not as elegant as I was hoping for, but seems to work. I am just having trouble getting the mouse back to the starting position. It worked fine in your script, but after I made a couple changes to click on the AutoIT systray item, it won't move the mouse back until you click something else. It just sort of pauses. Any ideas? Below is my code

#include <Systray.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)
opt("TrayIconHide", 0)
TrayCreateItem("Tray Test")
GUICreate("Select Systray Icon to Right Click",320,130)
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Right Click",10,100,100,20)
GUISetState ()

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Select
    Case $msg = $Button
        ;MsgBox(0,"","")
$p = MouseGetPos()
;$Index = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($Combo),"_")
$pos = _SysTrayIconPos("AutoITWrapper.exe")
_MouseTrap ($pos[0]+10, $pos[1]+10, $pos[0]+10, $pos[1]+10)
MouseClick("right")
_MouseTrap ($p[0], $p[1], $p[0], $p[1])
_MouseTrap ()
EndSelect

Yep, I gues the problem is the script pauses when the right click occurs.

To get around this problem you could use this even less elegant script

CODE

#include <Systray.au3>

#include <Misc.au3>

If StringInStr($cmdlineraw, '/Right') Then

opt("TrayIconHide", 1)

;msgbox(0,"yep","")

$p = MouseGetPos()

$pos = _SysTrayIconPos("AutoITWrapper.exe")

_MouseTrap ($pos[0]+10, $pos[1]+10, $pos[0]+10, $pos[1]+10)

MouseClick("right")

_MouseTrap ($p[0], $p[1], $p[0], $p[1])

_MouseTrap ()

Exit

EndIf

Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)

opt("TrayIconHide", 0)

TrayCreateItem("Tray Test")

GUICreate("Select Systray Icon to Right Click",320,130)

$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Right Click",10,100,100,20)

GUISetState ()

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $Button

If @Compiled Then

Run(@ScriptFullPath & ' /Right')

Else

Run(@AutoItExe & ' "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /Right')

EndIf

EndSelect

Hmmm. That works, but not. I guess I am at an impasse. Oh well, this function for the program wasn't that necessary anyway. Thank you for your help.
