Autoit Script Build - Help needed!

**prodigalsun** · 08-27-2009, 01:59 PM

Ok so i have been reading thru the Autoit tutorials in an attempt to write 2 sets of scripts. The first set of for mymobiler - need a .exe that will connect and one for disconnecting to my phone. The other is for pdanet to do the same. Both programs reside in the taskbar and can connect by double clicking on the icons. I'm trying to write these scripts to map buttons in Centrafuse that are more touch friendly. Can anyone provide me with some pointers?

No one?

Ok found a solution in case any one has similar needs. This script will double click on the PdaNet tray icon which initiates it to connect.

Code:

#Include <GuiToolBar.au3>

Global $hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber

Global $sToolTipTitle = "PdaNet" ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Enter some tooltip text for the icon you want here

$iSystray_ButtonNumber = Get_Systray_Index($sToolTipTitle)

If $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 Then
    MsgBox(16, "Error", "Icon not found in system tray")
    Exit
Else
    Sleep(500)
    _GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber, "left")
	_GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber, "left")
EndIf

Exit

;............

Func Get_Systray_Index($sToolTipTitle)

    ; Find systray handle
    $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', '', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:1]')
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(16, "Error", "System tray not found")
        Exit
    EndIf

    ; Get systray item count
    Local $iSystray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle)
    If $iSystray_ButCount = 0 Then
        MsgBox(16, "Error", "No items found in system tray")
        Exit
    EndIf

    ; Look for wanted tooltip
    For $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSystray_ButCount - 1
        If StringInStr(_GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber), $sToolTipTitle) = 1 Then ExitLoop
    Next

    If $iSystray_ButtonNumber = $iSystray_ButCount Then
        Return 0 ; Not found
    Else
        Return $iSystray_ButtonNumber ; Found
    EndIf

EndFunc

I got most of the code from the Autoit forums and made 2 small changes. It can also be used for other programs. For example I'm using it for My Mobiler also. Now I can just map these to a centrafuse button.

Ok i spoke too early. The script above only works if you can actual see the system tray icons so for it to work i have to minimize centrafuse. I may just leave it like that... at least now I have a much larger icon. To fully achieve was I was trying to do I'd just need to add lines in the script to minimize centrafuse --> run the current script --> maximize centrafuse.

Good stuff man! I think I'll give it a try, sometimes I have to minimize RR, and select connect on the pdanet systray icon, this would definately make that easier....

I wish these utilities came with hotkey support or and sdk , would make our lives alot easier....

So is this working fully? I had been using a button script I wrote for sendkey which activated a hotkey for a DUN Dialer program. Now that I have a Droid I am using PDANET and I am not sure if you can dial PDANET without using the default tray icon. If you could use PDANET's connection managed like a standard windows DUN then you could use my script and just push a button in the skin to connect and disconnect.
