FileGetAttrib, attribs, %A_ScriptFullPath%
if (attribs="A") {
   FileSetAttrib, -A, %A_ScriptFullPath%
   TrayTip, Reloaded script, %A_ScriptFullPath%,, 1
}
OnExit, ExitSub
Return
ExitSub:
   if (A_ExitReason="Reload") {
       FileSetAttrib, +A, %A_ScriptFullPath%
   }
ExitApp

For example, works well with:

Code: Select all

; Alt+Shift+R to reload AutoHotkey script
+!r::Reload

whats you question?
you want a "tray tooltip" ?

[aph]

No question. I corrected "tray tooltip to clarify that this code gives you a TrayTip whenever the Reload command is issued.

Normally this would not be possible since since AHK is reloading, removing all its widgets.

By temporarily toggling the archive attribute on the currently running script when it exits due to a reload, we can issue a TrayTip when it loads again.

Why modify the file's attributes?

You can detect whether the script was reloaded by looking at its command line.
