WinGetHandle and System Tray

[/dev/null]

Hi,

I cannot get the handle of the system tray with WinGetHandle(), while this is possible with WIN API FindWindow(). Is this intentional, a bug or did I something wrong?

System: WinXP SP2, AutoIT 3.2.2.0

Sample code

; THIS RETURNS THE HANDLE OF THE SYSTEM TRAY

$retval = DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","FindWindow","str","Shell_TrayWnd","str","")

if @error then
    MsgBox(0,"ERROR","DLLCALL error")
    exit
endif

$tray_handle = $retval[0]
MsgBox(0,"TRAY Handle",String($tray_handle))

; THIS DOES <<NOT>> RETURN THE HANDLE OF THE SYSTEM TRAY

$tray_handle = WinGetHandle("Shell_TrayWnd")
;$tray_handle = WinGetHandle("classname=Shell_TrayWnd")   ; neither of these methods do work

if @error then
    MsgBox(0,"ERROR","no windows found")
    exit
endif
MsgBox(0,"TRAY Handle",String($tray_handle))

Thanks

Kurt

Tsk, tsk. That isn't how you search for a classname in AutoIt. You're missing the "classname=" part. You're also not setting WinTitleMatchMode to 4.

damn!! I knew there is something I forgot....

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) did the job together with "classname=" (which I already had in my code!)

EDIT: you can move this to support if you like.

Thanks
