TrayTip Problem

[Emiel Wieldraaijer]

Hi,

I was playing around with a fantastic script "Secure Delete" from MrBond007

and i thought why not add the progress to the tray while washing a drive

so i added the following code in the loop -> TrayTip("Progress", $String1 & " " & Round($spaceu2 / $calc * 100, 2) & " %", 1, 16) so the tray is updated..

- Tested it on Windows XP -> OK

- Tested it on Windows Vista -> OK

- Tested it on Windows 2000 -> Does not update

Is this a bug or is this the wrong way to update the traytip

Is AutoIt meant to run with Windows 2000? (That should answer your question)

[Emiel Wieldraaijer]

ehhh .. do you want me to give you a real anwser ??? or just ignore you

Off course AutoIt can be run on Windows 2000 if you look in the help for TrayTip

Remarks

TrayTip works for only Windows 2000/XP or better.

AutoIt is not really meant to be ran on a 2000 enviorment. It works best on XP.

Where did you get that from?? I have never heard anything like that, even win 9x is supposed to work!! Edited April 6, 2008 by AdmiralAlkex

You don't know what you are talking about, again. Several of the people working with AutoIt do their developing on 2000 and TrayTip should behave the same for 2000 as it does for XP and Vista.

@AdmiralAlkex

MOST of AutoIt will (currently) work on the 9x platforms. There are exceptions and TrayTip is one of those.

My meaning was that 9x was supported generally as an answer to R6V2 ridiculous answer that AutoIt is built for XP.

I thought that I read somewhere, that AutoIt worked best, and more effieciently, on XP.

IIRC a tremendous amount of AutoIt development was accomplished on systems using XP. Remember that not all the devs even had XP from it's first release. AutoIt v2 was developed primarily for 9x support. AutoIt 3 continued the 9x support and gradually added functions that were not available in 9x systems. There are also some of the functions that require a a certain (or newer) version of IE. Just check some of these things before you go making totaly false statements like you did in this thread.

Sorry Geosoft, I thought I was correct on that. Anyhow, good luck on that traytip problem!

R6V2, you and "thinking" do not go together. Every time you "think" you're really about to say something idiotic - so don't post. And if you do "think" you read something, verify it and post a link. Quite honestly, you are too stupid to be believed without proof so stop doing a disservice to the community by posting bullshit as truth.

Emiel, that's way too much code. How do you know something else isn't hanging or preventing the code from working how you think? Does this simple loop fail to update?

For $i = 1 To 10
    TrayTip("Loop: " & $i, $i, 5, 16)
    Sleep(1000)
Next

If all else fails, try calling TrayTip("", "") before you try to update it and that should clear it and allow a new one to be displayed.

[Emiel Wieldraaijer]

Hi Valik,

thnx

TrayTip("", "",0) did the trick .. however

Your test code works 100% on Vista and Windows XP but not perfect on Windows 2000..

For $i = 1 To 10
    TrayTip("Loop: " & $i, $i, 5, 16)
    Sleep(1000)
Next

It looks like Windows 2000 does not update the tray every second .. but just random .. for example

three times on a row every second.. then every 3 seconds etc etc

Best regards,

Emiel
