Tray icon

[qwertylol]

I want to use a different icon in the system tray instead of the au3 pic.

Also, I want to alternate between a.bmp and b.bmp.

also, when I right click on it and I want to have options to choose from

Holly molly, don't you have this link either. It got to be spreading. Wonder if I should file a bug report?

When you compile it with an Icon it uses that icon for the system tray icon. but you have to compile it first.

Or you can use TraySetIcon

Read the help file. It has all of that in there.

TraySetIcon ( [iconfile [, iconID] )

I tried to read the help file, yet it doesn't contain useful information.

The sytaxchecker of the editor won't let this go:

TraySetIcon ( "a.bmp" )

nor will it let this go

TraySecIcon ( "a.ico" )

How exactly do I use TraySetIcon ?

[Snarg]

I would assume that to use this:

TraySecIcon ( "a.ico" )

The icon file must be in the same directory as the script. Otherwise, include the full path to the icon file.

try for yourself. that doesn't work.

HotKeySet('{esc}', 'icantreadhelpfilestoowell')

While 1
    TraySetIcon("Shell32.dll",Random(0,100,1))  ;  incidentally, trayseticon() works fine with a .ico file, too
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func icantreadhelpfilestoowell()
    Exit
EndFunc

oh I see, it has to be a dll to be called, and calling the .ico itself doesn't work.

how do I creat DLL just to carry .ico I need ?

It works fine with .ico files.

it works fine over here with icon file, are you sure that the icon is in the same path as the script??

I'm doing this in a script,and it works fine!

in this case the icon is in a folder named "icon"

fileview "/":

traytest.au3 <file>

icon <folder>

fileview "/icon/":

main.ico <file>

TraySetIcon("icon/main.ICO")

c.ico

live_duck.au3

see for yourself

[Helge]

You keep amazing me...you don't even have TraySetIcon in that script !

[qwertylol]

awww.... it turns out that i have been saving the script somewhere else without the .ico in that folder.

ok, i am stupid.

Next, when the c.ico is live in the tray, where did those black color come from ?

I should have sky blue in those areas.

What happend there?

c.ico

live_duck.au3

Was that script supposed to show that icon?

Anyway, the blue could just be a representation of transparency in your ico editor.
