Multiple Tray Icons

[James]

Hey all,

How can I have multiple tray icons? I have searched but nothing.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

I don't think you can have more then one, unless you will run more scripts from the parent script... like this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$Gui = GuiCreate("Test")
GUISetState()

$Child_Icon_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Create Child Icon", 20, 20)

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $Child_Icon_Button
            ChildTrayIcon_Proc(@AutoItPID)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func ChildTrayIcon_Proc($Parent_PID)
    Local $Script_File = @TempDir & "\Tray_Script.au3"
    
    Local $Line = 'Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1)' & @CRLF & _
            '$Hide_Item = TrayCreateItem("Hide Icon")' & @CRLF & _
            'While 1' & @CRLF & _
            '   Switch TrayGetMsg()' & @CRLF & _
            '       Case $Hide_Item' & @CRLF & _
            '           Exit' & @CRLF & _
            '   EndSwitch' & @CRLF & _
            '   If Not ProcessExists(' & $Parent_PID & ') Then Exit' & @CRLF & _
            'WEnd'
    
    Local $hFile = FileOpen($Script_File, 2)
    FileWrite($hFile, $Line)
    FileClose($hFile)
    
    Local $RunScript = Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $Script_File & '"', @TempDir)
    ProcessWait($RunScript)
    FileDelete($Script_File)
EndFunc

Great. I guess I will have to ask for it!

[MrCreatoR]

I will have to ask for it!

What for?

Why do you need more then one tray icon?

And as far as i know, one process can not have more then one tray icon, so probably your request will not be implemented.

Processes can have as many tray icons as there are resources available.

Can you show please how to display these icons? and what you mean by "resources"?

The more I read this thread the more I think the OP is refering to having icons on the TrayItems as opposed to the TrayIcon itself. AFAIK that is not possible at this point. Perhaps owner drawn tray items would do it but I've never seen AutoIt code to do that.
