Hi, using this command:

Code: Select all

clipboard = "" ; Start off empty to allow ClipWait to detect when the text has arrived.
Send ^c
ClipWait
characters := StrLen(clipboard)

Menu, Tray, Icon
TrayTip Caracteres, %characters% com espaços
I get this error:

Code: Select all

---- #ErrorStdOut
622: i := VarSetCapacity(e,520) DllCall("GetModuleFileName",PTR,0,Str,e,UInt,260) VarSetCapacity(e,-1)
005: CoordMode,Mouse,Screen
006: SendMode,Input
007: SetTitleMatchMode,RegEx
012: Return (0.06)
628: Suspend,On
629: Suspend,Off
630: Return (216.42)
190: Clipboard = ""
191: Send,^c (0.01)
192: ClipWait
193: characters := StrLen(clipboard)
195: Menu,Tray,Icon (0.03)
196: TrayTip,Caracteres,%characters% com espaços
197: Return (3.53)
It also included Usage Statistics in the report, but since I've disabled it, it disappeared.

The shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+WINDOWS+C.
Results are correct though.

Running your script gives me no error. Can you post a printscreen?

Sure, here it is:



It seems to happen on other functions as well, such as text expander. I've never noticed that. I thought it was normal for the autohotkey icon to stay in the tray after a command.

Tray icon? Do you use Type: Script?

No, at least not that I know of. I just used that command that I got from AHK help.

The tray icon I was referring to was this:


I thought this was normal behavior, but now I think it keeps showing up because of this error.

Sorry, I can’t reproduce this. Could you send me your settings files with a detailed description of steps to reproduce it?

Here it is.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Select text
  2. Press CTRL + SHIFT + WIN + ALT + C (I use an ergodox keyboard)
  3. Watch the notification with character count.
  4. Authotkey icon appears on traybar and never closes. Open it to show error.

Thanks. This is not an error but the result of showing the system tray icon in your script.

I suggest you using ToolTip, MsgBox instead of TrayTip.

It's much better with tooltip. I skipped the msgbox to avoid having to click to dismiss.

Code: Select all

clipboard = ; Start off empty to allow ClipWait to detect when the text has arrived.
Send ^c
ClipWait
characters := StrLen(clipboard)

; Menu, Tray, Icon
; TrayTip Caracteres, %characters% com espaços

ToolTip %characters% com espaços
SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, -2000
return

RemoveToolTip: 
ToolTip
return 
Thanks a lot.
