TraySetIcon with AHK V2?

[Ashtefere]

Cant seem to get this to work.
I have this at the top of the script:

Code: Select all

TraySetIcon(A_WorkingDir . "trayicon.ico")

And I get "call to nonexistent function".

What am I doing wrong?

Did you download AHK v2? v2 (Downloads -> Current Alpha Release)
The function is not available in AHK v1.

Cheers.

Following up on Helgef's comment, if you want to set the tray icon in V1, here's how:

Code: Select all

TrayIcon:=A_WorkingDir . "\trayicon.ico"
Menu,Tray,Icon,%TrayIcon%

Btw, note the backslash before the icon's file name, because A_WorkingDir does not have an ending backslash. Also, if you'd like to set a tray tip in V1:

Code: Select all

TrayTip:="whatever tray tip you want"
Menu,Tray,Tip,%TrayTip%

I found the missing AHK v1 function.

Code: Select all

TraySetIcon(FileName:="", IconNumber:="", Freeze:="")
{
    Menu Tray, Icon, %FileName%, %IconNumber%, %Freeze%
}

It's quite a new function in AHK v2, so you may need to get the latest version.

[Ashtefere]

Yeah, already using the very latest alpha of v2.

That was it! Thanks!

You're welcome. I'm glad that was it and that it's now working, but I find it strange that a non-existent icon file (which is, in essence, what it becomes without the backslash) would result in "call to nonexistent function". I would expect a "file not found" or "cannot load icon" type of error — that's what V1 does:

Good catch about the \ JoeWinograd, and indeed, it wouldn't cause a call to nonexistent function error, there must have been two problems.

Cheers.

Good point, Helgef. So, question for Ashtefere: Did you change anything besides adding the backslash? If not, then V2 is handling that error in a weird way. Regards, Joe
