Hi,
don´t know, if this information is of use for all of you, but maybe for some.
I wanted to see different systray icons for my different scripts or compiled exe, that i am running.
Now i found a little tool called SysTray. This works fine for me. I can even realize an animated icon. But it can do even more:
-Display a menu when the user clicks on the icon, and take actions when the user selects an item from the menu
- Display a menu when the user clicks on the icon, and take actions when the user selects an item from the menu, including communicating back to Revolution what the user selected
- Display a tooltip when the mouse passes over the icon
- Display a notification balloon under Windows XP
- Flash the icon at a user-settable time interval
- Switch back and forth between two icons at a user-settable time interval
- Display an "answer" dialog box with different settings, and capture the selection made by the user to pass back to another application
- Write a file to disk
- Launch a program with optional parameters (Enhanced in 2.0!)
- Check a web server and notify users when updates to your product is available (New in 2.0!)
- Prepare an email in your local email program (New in 2.0!)
- Open a web browser and go to a specific web site (New in 2.0!)
- Download files from the Internet (New in 2.0!)
- Perform actions based on a timed interval, either once, or every X period of time (New in 2.0!)
- Perform actions on trapped events in one of two ways: once only, or every time the event occurs (New in 2.0!)
- Dynamically install menu handlers on the fly (New in 2.0!)
- Delete a file from disk (New in 2.0!)
- Icons can be GIFs, JPEGs, or ICO files, and will automatically scale to fit the system tray
Although the licensing allows you to put it in your projects and give it away with your application, it is very cheap. A demo version is available.
