Example: Traytip v2

[Friethoe]

I like the way Windows is displaying short messages in the traybar and couldn't find the right tool to make that happen in AMS.

Then I found the tool provided by Rhosk, but I didn't like the fact that I needed to create/modifiy the INI-file before I was able to display my text.

Now I modified the tool and now you are able to pass the parameter to the traytip.exe in the order:

Traytip "Title" "Text" "SecondsToDisplay" "SelectedIcon"
Where SelectedIcon=
0=None
1=Info
2=Warning
3=Error

I hope you can use this simple tool for your applications as well

Thanks Rhosk

You should edit the ini file with the software. Hmmm...I don't see any attached project.
This is what use. It's very easy to customize:

-- tell the user
text = String.Concat("Playing next file: ", file_name);
INIFile.SetValue("AutoPlay\\Docs\\traytip.ini", "Text", "Value", text);
File.Run("AutoPlay\\Docs\\Traytip.exe", "", "AutoPlay\\Docs", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false);
end

Hi Khattat,

It's not the most elegant example, but I think you will get the picture of how you can use this tool.
Just download the attached script and take a look how you can use it.

You don't need to modify the INI-file, on some systems you may not have the rights to do this so you just pass the parameters...

If it's still not clear, just let me know....

Good luck :)

Ahh...yes, yes...I'll make PMN 5.6 pass the parameters.
Here it is:

-- tell the user
text = String.Concat('"PlayMeNow" "Playing next file: "', file_name);
arg = String.Concat(text, " 5 1");
File.Run("AutoPlay\\Docs\\Traytip.exe", arg, "AutoPlay\\Docs", SW_SHOWNORMAL, false);

Preety easy :) And best: it's not a plug-in...you can use it anywhere :)
