Code archives/User Libs/System tray icon

Looks kwl will get it later

Most impressive Kev. I did actually see another example ages ago but it didn't work on my system. This one works great.

A much needed feature for Blitz Plus so thanks.

cool .. needed that badly :-) ... thanks man

when i get time i was thinking of adding drag&drop feature to blitz windows.

When I downloaded it and ran the exe it wouldn't work. It popped up with an error message. And the bb file had a function missing. Never mind

it does? its not QueryObject() by any chance.

Very cool, Kev!
@Blitz Programer - what OS are you running on your computer?

What Am I missing ?

HideGadget() is a BlitzPlus function. If you have Blitz3D, then it won't work.

when the application is hidden the programm is suspended .. is it possible to catch some timer ticks while hidden ?

The "TaskBarEvent(hWnd,0,0,0,0)" command themes to halt execution of the programm ... any ideas to solve this problem ?

thx

Yes, it completely halts execution of the program. Is there anyway so that it will still work and recieve events and stuff? Plus, is there anyway to change the icon as to make my own icon? Thanks in advance.

I've been playing with this a bit the last couple of days as well :)

The taskBar event pauses everything each time it is called. For now I'm just not using it, and just using the TaksBarMenuEvent since that's all I need. Would be interesting to know why it's so slow though.



That one's easy. Create an icon and then specify it in the addTrayIcon command. Mine looks like this

Add_Tray_Icon("Title"+Chr(0),hwnd,"icon.ico")

How do i create an icon? i know how to add it so it uses it in the program.

Use an icon editor - there are loads around but I recommend http://www.snidesoft.com/

Thx it works great. But has anyone solved the problem of getting events to a program when its in the task bar?

Will it work without the HideGadget()? With Blitz3D?

I dont know about B3D, but without the hidegadget it will still be visible.

Has anyone figured out how to give events to the thing while its minimized into the tray?

Rich05 the .dll only sends events to your program it wont receive all events only standard events, to check what events are received use sys_tray() function. also make sure the tray icon has focus. a rewritten version will go into WinBlitz3D, complete with better event handles.

Is there a version that will work with Blitz3D?

I doubt it, youll probably have to make it yourself.

Nice!!!

Dabz

:)

has anyone been successful at changing the popup menu once its been set? if i call DeleteIconMenu() after i have already added menu items, i cant seem to add more and have it function properly. any ideas on what i may be doing wrong?

thank you.

gman, i havent tryed that. so thanks for pointing it out. i will not be working on this anymore. all my spare time is being used on two projects im coding blitzlockit and winblitz3d.

Where is it now?
