Hi,

I wonder if you would consider putting in an option for TrayMenu items so that they action on button down and stay working until button up? I have seen this available on a couple of systray-based mp3 player applications to control the volume (Random Mp3 Player is a good example). I have searched the helpfile and the AutoIt fora, and even asked in a couple of topics, but found no workarounds.

Specifically, the request is for:

• Click on trayicon to get tray context menu.
• Cursor over menu item leading to submenu.
• Button down on an item in the submenu - action occurs
• Button up from the item - action ceases and tray menu closes

"action" is either the calling of an OnEvent defined function or the creation of a GUIGetMsg return value.

I cannot see a need for a similar option in the normal GUI menus as normal GUI controls (e.g. sliders) are available.

So, could this be considered as something to add in future releases, or would it be too difficult to implement?

Thanks for reading, and for providing such a great programming tool.

Please, implant associative arrays it would make scripting for me much easier. :) Tank you Tom

I suggest MsgBox function to have the text parameter to be the first. I've created dozens of scripts and everytime the message has been the primary thing for the function. The other parameters haven't been needed so many times (title, flag etc.).

At least in rapid application development, I just want to throw messages quickly to the user, without any extra info. The code stays cleaner also.

In .NET and VBA, the MessageBox method receives also the text as the first parameter and the others are optional.
