tray program w/ hotkey?

[unnamed24]

hey everyone... it's my first time here... i found out that autoitscript does really cool stuff and somehow if your IQ isnt that of a retard you can learn it easily... and i'm not a retard anyways... can anyone help me? i want my program to be just a tray program and when i press a certain hotkey the program executes and when i press another hotkey it stops... need it very badly... thanks for thos who'll help!!!

I guess the program runs in a loop when the hotkey is pressed?

If so, try this:

Dim $running = false

HotKeySet("g", "go")
HotKeySet("s", "stop")

While True
   If $running Then
     ;your code
   Else
      Sleep(1)
   EndIf
Wend

Func go()
   $running = True
EndFunc

Func stop()
   $running = False
EndFunc

hey thanks! i'm gonna try it... so how can i make it into a tray?

With my code you should have an AutoIt tray icon already.

Nothing else will show up unless you modify my code.

If you need more functionality with the tray icon, try some Tray... functions from the documentation.
