Add ability to move mouse to the "Show hidden icons" tray button...

For "Mouse Move to Tray Icon", please add ability to move mouse to the "Show hidden icons" tray button for Windows 7 and up [see screenshot].

// Move keyboard input focus the left edge of SysTray, where the "Show Hidden Icons" control resides

Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <WIN>b

// Give time for SysTray to gain focus

Delay: 200 milliseconds

// Move the mouse cursor to this location

Mouse Move: To the Text Cursor Position

Or do it this way, which gives focus to the icon without moving the mouse. Activate the icon by pressing spacebar or Enter.

// Move keyboard input focus the left edge of SysTray, where the "Show Hidden Icons" control resides
Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <WIN>b
// Set the title of the Systray "window"
Variable Set String %WindowTitle% to topmost window title
// Get SysTray Control (set the "top level window caption" to %WindowTitle%
Get Control: (EXPLORER.EXE) Using z-order -> %SysTrayControl%
// Give it focus, without moving the mouse pointer
Set Focus to %SysTrayControl%

thanks for the tips.

 

it would still be great if macro express can add the function, so our macros can have less steps and be more efficient.
