[solved] How to change system tray icon of another process ?

[TinyBoy]

Change the own tray icon is easy but how to change the tray icon of another process ?

Searched help, forums and google but no sucess. Can someone point me to UDFs or sanple scripts.

I have written a small helper for AVIRA virus solution and I want to change the tray icon so that the user recognices that a scan or update is running.

I know the PID of the tray process, but the code snippet to change or blink or whatsoever ... is missing.

Please do not code for me but send some pointers or ideas.

The coding will be my problem.

The items in the system tray are just buttons on a toolbar. Try _GUICtrlToolbar_SetButtonBitMap(). The images available come from the Image List for the toolbar. See the help file under the _GuiCtrlToolBar_* functions.

Thanks PsaltyDS

Here my solution:

CODE

; hide/show tray icon

#include <GuiToolbar.au3>

Local $i, $iCmdID, $sText

Local $handle = ControlGetHandle("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]", "", "[CLASS:ToolbarWindow32; INSTANCE:1]")

Local $iButtonCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($handle)

For $i = 1 To $iButtonCount

$iCmdID = _GUICtrlToolbar_IndexToCommand($handle, $i)

$sText = _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($handle, $iCmdID)

If StringInStr($sText, "Avira AntiVir") Then ExitLoop

Next

For $i = 1 To 5

_GUICtrlToolbar_HideButton($handle, $iCmdID, True)

Sleep(500)

_GUICtrlToolbar_HideButton($handle, $iCmdID, False)

Sleep(500)

Next
