I can enumerate the applications (handle,pid,path) with icons in the notification area, and I can control the position of the icons, but I can't get the tooltip.
How can I enumerate systray icons including the tooltips?
Here is my method tested with windows xp and delphi 2010 if you are using a version of delphi wich doesn't support unicode make shure you convert the strings read to ansi
uses CommCtrl;
function TForm1.GetIconsCount: Integer;
begin
Result := SendMessage(FindTrayToolbar, TB_BUTTONCOUNT, 0, 0);
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
ListTips;
end;
function TForm1.FindTrayToolbar: HWND;
begin
Result := FindWindow('Shell_TrayWND', nil);
Result := FindWindowEx(Result, 0, 'TrayNotifyWnd', nil);
Result := FindWindowEx(Result, 0, 'SysPager', nil);
Result := FindWindowEx(Result, 0, 'ToolbarWindow32', nil);
end;
procedure TForm1.ListTips;
var
dwTray: DWORD;
wndTray: HWND;
hTray: THandle;
remoteTray: Pointer;
tdata: TTBBUTTON;
i: Integer;
btsread:DWORD;
str:Pchar;
begin
wndTray := FindTrayToolbar;
GetWindowThreadProcessId(wndTray, @dwTray);
hTray := OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, false, dwTray);
if hTray <> 0 then
begin
remoteTray := VirtualAllocEx(hTray, nil, Sizeof(tdata), MEM_COMMIT,
PAGE_READWRITE);
for i := 0 to GetIconsCount - 1 do
begin
SendMessage(FindTrayToolbar,TB_GETBUTTON,wparam(i),lparam(remotetray));
ReadProcessMemory(hTray,remotetray,@tdata,sizeof(tdata),btsread);
GetMem(str,255);
ReadProcessMemory(hTray,Ptr(tdata.iString),str,255,btsread);
ListBox1.Items.Add(str);
end;
end
else ShowMessage('Could not locate tray icons');
end;
end.
