Has a macro been removed?

[JustinReno]

I just tried to use the macro @TRAY_ID and this is what showed up:

>"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe" /run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "C:\Documents and Settings\Jar\Desktop\Test2.au3" /autoit3dir "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3" /UserParams

The macro is still defined in the helpfile. Is this a bug?

Or is it just me?

Without the source code I will say it is you. The only way I was able to replicate the same message was by adding MsgBox(0, "", @TRAY_ID) before the while statement, in other words trying to use @TRAY_ID before selecting from the tray menu.

This is an example for the help file

#include <Constants.au3>
#NoTrayIcon

Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)   ; Default tray menu items (Script Paused/Exit) will not be shown.

$exit = TrayCreateItem("Exit")
TrayItemSetOnEvent(-1,"ExitEvent")

TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOUBLE,"SpecialEvent")
TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_SECONDARYUP,"SpecialEvent")

TraySetState()
;MsgBox(0, "", @TRAY_ID) ; it failed

While 1
    Sleep(10)   ; Idle loop
WEnd
Exit

; Functions
Func SpecialEvent()
    Select
        Case @TRAY_ID = $TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOUBLE
            Msgbox(64,"SpecialEvent-Info","Primary mouse button double clicked.")
        Case @TRAY_ID = $TRAY_EVENT_SECONDARYUP
            Msgbox(64,"SpecialEvent-Info","Secondary mouse button clicked.")
    EndSelect
EndFunc

Func ExitEvent()
    MsgBox(0, "", @TRAY_ID) ;work fine
    Exit
EndFunc

The macro will be created when AutoIt declares a value for it. Using the macro before it is declared a value suffers similar fate as a variable suffers if you use it before it is declared.
