I use outlook express 5 and I hate that it doesn't have the 'hide' option. So I made this:

#Include <Constants.au3>
$title="Inbox - Outlook Express"
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)
Opt("TrayAutoPause",0)

TraySetClick (8)
$hide_show=TrayCreateItem("Hide/Show outlook")
TrayCreateItem("")
$quit = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

If Not WinExists($title) Then
    Run(@ProgramFilesDir&"\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE")
EndIf

AdlibEnable("outlook_exists",1000)

While 1
    $msg=TrayGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg=$quit
        WinClose($title)
        Exit
    Case $msg=$TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOUBLE
        hide_show()
    Case $msg=$hide_show
        hide_show()
    EndSelect
WEnd
Func hide_show()
If WinExists($title) Then
    If  BitAND(WinGetState($title),2) = 2 Then
        WinSetState($title,"",@SW_HIDE)
    Else
        WinSetState($title,"",@SW_SHOW)
        WinSetState($title,"",@SW_MAXIMIZE)
    EndIf
EndIf
EndFunc
Func outlook_exists()
    If NOT ProcessExists("MSIMN.EXE") Then
        Exit
    EndIf

When I first run it, a new 'invisible' window (I can see it in the taskbar though) shows up with the title "Outlook Express FolderSync Window Class" and it won't let me do anything. I kill it with the task manager and then my script starts working UNTIL the window title changes again, if I move from the Inbox to Outbox for example, and all that happens again.

hum.. why?

WinGetHandle(). Get the window's handle early on and just use that. It won't change even if the title does.

If Outlook is closed and I run the script, it opens Outlook but nothing happens when I double-click the tray icon. Now, when I click the menu item "hide/show outlook" I get this:

;)

I close it and then it hides my taskbar :)

If outlook is already running when I run the script, it seems to work perfectly! 

#Include <Constants.au3>
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)
Opt("TrayAutoPause",0)

TraySetClick (8)

$esconder_mostrar=TrayCreateItem("Hide/Show outlook")
TrayCreateItem("")
$salir = TrayCreateItem("Exit")

If Not WinExists("Bandeja de entrada - Outlook Express") Then
    Run(@ProgramFilesDir&"\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE")
EndIf
$handle=WinGetHandle("Bandeja de entrada - Outlook Express")
AdlibEnable("outlook_exists",1000)
While 1
    sleep(50)
    $msg=TrayGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg=$salir
        WinClose($handle)
        Exit
    Case $msg=$TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOUBLE
        hide_show()
    Case $msg=$esconder_mostrar
        hide_show()
    EndSelect
WEnd
Func hide_show()
If WinExists($handle) Then
    If  BitAND(WinGetState($handle),2) = 2 Then
        WinSetState($handle,"",@SW_HIDE)
    Else
        WinSetState($handle,"",@SW_SHOW)
        WinSetState($handle,"",@SW_MAXIMIZE)
    EndIf
EndIf
EndFunc
Func outlook_exists()
    If NOT ProcessExists("MSIMN.EXE") Then
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc

If Not WinExists("Bandeja de entrada - Outlook Express") Then

Run(@ProgramFilesDir&"\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE")

EndIf

$handle=WinGetHandle("Bandeja de entrada - Outlook Express")

so leme understand this, you trying to see if win named "Bandeja de entrada - Outlook Express" not Exists and the name of the window is "Outlook Express"???

so the handle is returrn is "" $null and its activate (hide) the first active window (taskbar), and call the first activate window when you dubleclick (au3 script window becose its the first active when you dubleclick it)

, why dont you try to see if the $handle=WinGetHandle("Outlook Express") with combination on WinWait("Outlook Express") works

i think that your dooing something wrong with handle :)

Haha.. well, what I tried to do there was check if the window exists. If it doesn't, it opens outlook and now it exists, so I use $handle=WinGetHandle("Bandeja de entrada - Outlook Express") then, haha.

I tried doiing this:

If Not WinExists("Bandeja de entrada - Outlook Express") Then

Run(@ProgramFilesDir&"\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE")

sleep(1000)

EndIf

So it gives time to the window to be created? but no success. haha, i'm so confused.
