Dialog Help again please.

[ken]

Hello Gin. I was wondering if there was a way to make an icon that I can use for my dialog. I would like to put it down where the clock is so its easy access for my dialog. Please help.

Create and run function like this:

Code:

Copy      Help

AddTrayIcon "lightning.ico" "Click to show dialog.[]Ctrl+click to remove icon." "FunctionThatShowsDialog"
wait -1

ok i tried this and it worked the first time but then after i rebooted qm it wouldnt make the icon? and also when i had it working the first time everytime i clicked it without control it made another one can this be avoided?

[Gintaras]

The function does not run without a reason. Assign a trigger.

ok but where do i place AddTrayIcon "lightning.ico" "Click to show dialog.[]Ctrl+click to remove icon." "FunctionThatShowsDialog"
wait -1
?

make a new function and place the code in it.
then run the function.
each time QM restarts (ie system reboot) you'll need to have that function start.

How would you like to close the icon?

can i set this up so that when i run the icon it opens the dialog

Start the dialog using mac in first line of function that adds tray icon.

if possible by right clicking it?

[Gintaras]

Create new function, eg RemoveTrayIcon

Code:

Copy      Help

shutdown -6 0 "FunctionThatAddsTrayIcon"

At the end of the AddTrayIcon line, add "RemoveTrayIcon"

:lol:
'been there!

[detroit123]

I'm sorry to bring this up again... i accidentely deleted the old icon thing i was making :x but i was curious, if possible, how do i make the icon appear at the title of the dialog?

[Gintaras]

ShowDialog now has an 'icon' argument. All arguments before it (hwndowner ... y) can be 0. If it doesn't, download newer QM version.

ok thanks i got it to work but now this isnt workign right?

Code:

Copy      Help

GdiObject- brush=CreateSolidBrush(ColorFromRGB(50 75 125))
if(!ShowDialog("Project" 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 "mouse.ico")) ret

it makes my dialog have the icon i wanted but now it doesnt change the dialog to blue and none of my buttons and ids etc. work?

[Gintaras]

All arguments before it (hwndowner ... y)

I mean only arguments starting from 4-th can be 0. Don't change the first three.
