How to reach a tray icon and do a double click!

[hosphuman]

Hi everyone im new here and newbie in autoit!! i need to know how to do a double click in an item on icon tray to show up the window and i try to do it alone, read some topics in this forum but i can't find something to help me. i saw some thing about it using a new library called auto3lib but i can't make it work on my version of autoit. is there a easy way to do this script? i hope someone can help me!! thanks to all!!!!!

Not sure if this would work, but this is what I would do:

Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)

Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)

TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOUBLE,"MyFunc")

Func MyFunc

;show or hide gui

EndFunc

Thanks for it!!!!!!! but it didn`t Work( maybe because im a newbie) for example i need to do a double click on skype icon and it is the fisrt icon on my system tray how i do it?

Double click??

$Click = "Left"

MouseClick($Click, x, y, 2, 10) ;Mouseclick at: x, y, clicks 2 times and goes with a speed of 10

Is that what you mean ??

Find what the window title is and try to do a WinSetSTate("the-found-title","",@SW_RESTORE)

This is a really good question and I'm not sure how to accomplish the goal the way you described. So for the MVP's and gurus out there, what AutoIt function will provide and array with the process name of the icons running in Class:Shell_TrayWnd, controlID Class:ToolbarWindow32? My thinking is this currently unknown function could help us use ControlClick() with the correct icon.

Meanwhile hosphuman, for your good question as a newbie here is some workaround code to do what you wanted.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)  ;; <-- Top of your script

If ProcessExists("skype.exe") Then 
    MsgBox(0,"Skype Status","Skype is running")
    WinSetState("[Class:tSkMainForm.UnicodeClass]","",@SW_SHOW)
Else
    MsgBox(0,"Skype Status","Skype is not running")
EndIf

Edit: JdeB, come on brother whats a really cool way of pulling the information I described? This should be pretty easy for you and da boyz. This could be handy for others wanting to double click the icon and get their Network Status, Network Connections, Volume Control windows.... IF those icons are in the systray .

I think you need to use: WinSetSTate("windows-title","",@SW_SHOW)

have a try ...

Need another cup of coffee?? Or were you in a rush and didn't eat your Wheaties? Re-read my code example and you'll that I've been there done that . But WinSetState doesn't do what I or the other person are talking about. Sending a click to the correct icon in the tray. I'll order you up some Starbuck, you want that with or without whip?

Edit: To make sure I wasn't off my rocker I tried the following and it did not work. I have the little speaker icon in my tray and when I double left click the icon the window "Volume Control" appears. The class for that window is also "Volume Control". So, to the topic of this thread and to the points I've tried to make... the following code doesn't isn't a real answer to the question.

WinsetState("[Class:Volume Control]","",@SW_SHOW)

If you're having trouble installing the library because of the "wrong version" problem, this fix, posted Here, may take care of it.

CODE

$sRegKey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt"

$sRegValue = "Version"

$sRegType = "REG_SZ"

$sCurrent = RegRead($sRegKey, $sRegValue)

RegWrite($sRegKey, $sRegValue, $sRegType, "v3.2.4.9")

MsgBox(0, "", "You are ready to install Auto3Lib." & @CRLF & @CRLF & _

'Click "OK" when the installation is complete.')

RegWrite($sRegKey, $sRegValue, $sRegType, $sCurrent)

The double-click thing SOMETIMES can be handled with:

$title="Example"
$text=""
winactivate($title,$text)
WinWaitActive($title,$text,5)
winsetstate($title,$text,@SW_Show)oÝ÷ Øç¢Ûaz··öƭ欶ޱÊâ¦Ø§¶¥ºÚ¯&Þ-«¢é]mæj^u«­¢+Ø¥¹±Õ±ÐíÍ15¹Ô¹ÔÌÐì(¥¹±Õ±ÐíÍ1Q½½±È¹ÔÌÐì()=ÁÐ ÅÕ½Ðí5ÕÍѱÉYÉÌÅÕ½Ðì°Ä¤((ìôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôô(ìÍÉ¥ÁÑ¥½¸¸¸¸èM¡½ÝÌ¡½ÜѼ±¥¬½¸Ñ¡Ù½±Õµ½¹Ñɽ°¥¸Ñ¡ÑͬÑÉä(ìÕÑ¡½È¸¸¸¸¸¸¸¸èAÕ°

... there's at least one script in the library (below) that could be adapted.

Thanks BobK, I'll look at the auto3lib later to see if it will do what I was describing. If so and no one has given the general all-purpose code I'll try to come up with something and post it here later. Maybe over the weekend or next week.

Oh, you're clicking on a DIFFERENT tray icon >.>
