phaze424 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Is there any way to hide the system tray icon of another application from within AutoIt? I know it's not very likely, but it would still be pretty useful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsaltyDS Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 TraySetState(2)That only affects the AutoIt script's tray icon, not another app's.The desktop is just another window, and the system tray is just another control. Use AU3Info.exe to check them out. The controls there can be hidden/deleted/etc. just like any other. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class... Is now in Session!For those who want somebody to write the script for them: RentACoder"Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced." -- Geek's corollary to Clarke's law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaze424 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) TraySetState(2)As PsaltyDS said, this is only for AutoIt's icon.The desktop is just another window, and the system tray is just another control. Use AU3Info.exe to check them out. The controls there can be hidden/deleted/etc. just like any other.I actually checked it out before I posted. Under XP (not sure about other versions of windows), the entire tray/"Notification Area" is one ToolbarWindow32 control. I don't want to hide the entire tray area...Perhaps it's a matter of a Windows API call? I don't know my WinAPI very well at all, but I'll look into it. In the meantime, any help would be appreciated! Edited March 18, 2008 by phaze424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This demo hides/enables the Volume icon in my sytem tray: expandcollapse popup#Include <GuiToolBar.au3> HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit") Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) Global $hTray = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]") Global $hToolbar = ControlGetHandle($hTray, "", "[CLASSNN:ToolbarWindow321]") Global $iCnt = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hToolbar) ConsoleWrite("Debug: $iCnt = " & $iCnt & @LF) Global $iCmdVolume = -1 Global $sMsg, $sText, $iCmd For $n = 0 To $iCnt - 1 $sMsg = "Index: " & $n $iCmd = _GUICtrlToolbar_IndexToCommand($hToolbar, $n) $sMsg &= " CommandID: " & $iCmd $sText = _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hToolbar, $iCmd) If StringInStr($sText, "Volume") Then $iCmdVolume = $iCmd $sMsg &= " Text: " & $sText ConsoleWrite("Debug: " & $sMsg & @LF) Next ConsoleWrite("Debug: $iCmdVolume = " & $iCmdVolume & @LF) Global $bolVisible = True While 1 $bolVisible = Not $bolVisible If $bolVisible Then _GUICtrlToolbar_SetButtonState($hToolbar, $iCmdVolume, $TBSTATE_ENABLED) Else _GUICtrlToolbar_SetButtonState($hToolbar, $iCmdVolume, $TBSTATE_HIDDEN) EndIf Sleep(1000) WEnd Func _Quit() _GUICtrlToolbar_SetButtonState($hToolbar, $iCmdVolume, $TBSTATE_ENABLED) Exit EndFunc Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

I didn't even know about these UDFs. This should work well for my purposes. Edited March 21, 2008 by phaze424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
