Guest neLO Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hello, Can anybody help me on how to access the Taskbar properties. I know that it's normally done by right clicking on the task bar. But How can i do it from within an AutoIt script? Thxs for help neLO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 (edited) According to this site you can use a vbs file....So here's a coded workaround in AutoIt..... There should be simpler rundll shell32.dll solution, but I couldn't find it.... Watch out for word wrap in the following:$filename = "foo.vbs" ;create a temporary vbs file If FileExists($filename) Then FileDelete($filename) FileWriteLine($filename, 'Dim objShell : Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") : objShell.TrayProperties') RunWait('WScript.exe "' & $filename & '"') FileDelete($filename) ; Optionally bring window to foreground WinWait("Taskbar and Start Menu Properties") WinActivate("Taskbar and Start Menu Properties") Edited August 25, 2004 by CyberSlug Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

Guest neLO Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 thxs so far ... I'll give it a try. As I don't know any vbs-stuff I'd still prefer a genuine AutoIt solution ....So any other ideas are appreciated. neLO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
