system-tray

In Windows 7, I had an AutoHotKey script that would automatically Right-Click on a tray icon. #Include %A_Scriptdir%\TrayIcon.ahk TrayIcon_Button("CCC.exe", "R") Which used the TrayIcon.ahk library from FanaticGuru's post . This worked just fine on Windows 7, but no longer works on Windows 10. Is there a way to right click on a TrayIcon in an AutoHotKey script on Windows 10? Here is the TrayIcon_Button function from the library. I refrained from posting the entire library since it is fairly long. ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My application is designed to sit in the system tray and behave similarly to the Network/Volume/Power/Action Centre tray items in Windows 7 (and the equivalent items in Windows Vista). That is, it becomes visible when the tray icon is clicked, and becomes hidden when focus is lost. The application is written in WPF, but I am currently using NotifyIcon from WinForms for the tray icon. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions as to how I might determine the position (i.e. screen coordinates) of my application's tray icon. The default Windows Vista/7 tray items have some way of doing

I wrote a little WPF app that when 'closed' minimizes to the system tray (customer requirement). Double clicking pops it back up, or right click gives a context menu to exit. But if the app is minimized, and the users navigate to Start->All Programs->The Application it starts a new instance. What (in C#) do I need to do to get the app to maximize the running instance if the user does this rather than fire up a new instance? Thanks! Conrad Frix This answer from Jon Skeet discusses using a mutex to do it Mutex is the way to go. It's a lot less fragile than using process names etc. However, you

I am debating whether to hide or not to hide the system tray in a Windows Phone 7 application. I've not found any general suggestions on this issue -the official Windows Phone design guidelines don't address this issue at all - except for Jeff Wilcox's blog post who suggested that he personally likes to see the system tray in applications. I'd like some general advice on this issue from other Windows Phone developers. Some reasons for showing the system tray are Doesn't take up that much space Users may want to see it at times Reasons for hiding it are You can't control its background: unless

My program puts an icon in the system tray because the user may minimize to it. However, if the application crashes, or I stop the app from running in VS it leaves the icon in it until I hover over it with the mouse. Sometimes I'll look down there and there will be 10 or so icons. I can I make sure the icon goes away? There is no way to do this. Windows does not poll your program to see if it's still alive. Therefore, your icon will stay in the system tray until you either tell it to leave (normal exit), or the user does something that initiates a call to your program (such as mouseover). Only

Trying to create a small monitor application that displays current internet usage as percentage in system tray in C using win32 API. Also wanting to use colour background or colour text based on how much is used relative to days left in month. EDIT: To clarify I am wanting the system tray icon to be dynamic. As the percentage changes I update the system tray icon. Looking for solution that uses just plain old win32 (ie. No MFC or WTL). Okay here is my win32 solution: HICON CreateSmallIcon( HWND hWnd ) { static TCHAR *szText = TEXT ( "100" ); HDC hdc, hdcMem; HBITMAP hBitmap = NULL; HBITMAP
