detect system tray icon pop up

[gc dublin]

Hi, when upgrading Microsoft VM security patch, there is a system tray icon pop up and I have to click on it and select install the vm patch.

Does any one know if I can use script to catch the system tray icon and answer the prompt?

Thanks.

Are you sure the only thing that happens is an icon appears? No new process or window of any kind?

If not, I think you are stuck pixelchecking, otherwise, try "ProcessExists()"

Although it is a special class, it's still just a window. Run AU3Info.exe and get the info on the pop up. For example, you can run this script:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit")

While 1
    TrayTip("Test", "Text", 5)
    Sleep(4000)
WEnd

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Start the script, which will create a tray icon with a tray tip message. You can use AU3Info on it and see something like this:

>>>> Window <<<<
Title:  Text
Class:  tooltips_class32
Position:   1017, 866
Size:   74, 77
Style:  0x940000C3
ExStyle:    0x00080088
Handle: 0x001A00EC

If it's addressable, you can automate it.
