Menu, Tray, Icon, busted…

[AJBlue98]

I've been working on something it looks like several other people have tried to do: suspend a script when a particular window (in my case Visio) is active.

The script I'm using causes Windows to imitate the Mac's keyboard layout and common hotkey functions. Visio chokes on it. So I've done my homework and come up with the following …

Code: Select all

;
;   SUSPEND THIS FILE FOR MICROSOFT VISIO WINDOWS
;
#IfWinActive ahk_class VISIOA
  Menu, TRAY, Icon, C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe, 5
  Suspend on
  #IfWinNotActive ahk_class VISIOA
    Suspend off
    Menu, TRAY, Icon, *
Return

… Which works, except for the Menu commands.

When the Menu lines are omitted, the script's icon doesn't change when the Suspend on command runs. I'd like to use the fifth (white-S-on-red) icon in the AHK executable when Visio is in the foreground, to indicate the script is suspended programmatically instead of manually. When the script is run as written above, the Suspend on and Suspend off command runs, but still nothing happens to the system tray icon.

I'd be grateful for any help anyone could provide re. making this work!

Please forgive the extremely late reply — somehow this got lost in the shuffle. I gave up on getting the icon to change … but since I’m at a new job again using Visio, I’m again trying to solve the same problem, and this solution works almost perfectly, thank you!
