open program from windows Tray - autohotkey

Question

I made a script that simply opens or activate specific app.
it works great but I have one issue, when the app minimized to windows tray.
the Hotkey activate the Else statement part so it creates another instance of the same app.
!a::
If WinExist("ahk_exe Orzeszek Timer.exe")
{
WinActivate, ahk_exe Orzeszek Timer.exe
}
Else {
Run, "D:\Portable\PortableApps\Orzeszek Timer\Orzeszek Timer.exe"
}
Return
I need help with script to trigger the IF statement part in case the app appears in system tray.
Much Thanks in advance)

Answer 1

Try this
!a::
Process, Exist, Orzeszek Timer.exe
If (Errorlevel != 0) ; is running
{
WinGet, WinState, MinMax, ahk_exe Orzeszek Timer.exe
If (WinState = "") ; is minimized to tray
SendInput, #bo{Enter} ; Win+b activates the tray, o marks the icon of Orzeszek Timer
else
WinActivate, ahk_exe Orzeszek Timer.exe
}
else ; is NOT running
Run, "D:\Portable\PortableApps\Orzeszek Timer\Orzeszek Timer.exe"
return
If the program has its own hotkey to restore the window, use that hotkey instead of #bo{Enter}.
EDIT:
If SendInput, #bo{Enter} is too fast to restore the program, add a sleep between the keys to send:
...
If (WinState = "") ; is minimized to tray
{
SendInput, #b ; Win+b activates the tray
; WinWaitActive, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
Sleep, 300
SendInput, o ; o marks the icon of Orzeszek Timer. Try first of all manually which letter marks the icon
Sleep, 300
SendInput, {Enter}
}
...
EDIT 2:
I downloaded that small portable app and this is working on my system:
!a::
Process, Exist, Orzeszek Timer.exe
If (Errorlevel != 0) ; is running
{
WinGet, WinState, MinMax, ahk_exe Orzeszek Timer.exe
If (WinState = "") ; is minimized to tray
; SendInput, #bot{Enter} ; OR:
SendInput, #b{Enter}{Up}ot{Enter}
}
else ; is NOT running
Run, "D:\Portable\PortableApps\Orzeszek Timer\Orzeszek Timer.exe"
WinWait, Orzeszek Timer,, 10
If (!ErrorLevel)
{
WinActivate, Orzeszek Timer
WinWaitActive Orzeszek Timer,, 5
If (!ErrorLevel)
MouseMove, 150, 80, 0
}
return
EDIT 3:
If you don't have the option "Always show all icons in the notification area" in the Settings enabled, try replacing
SendInput, #bot{Enter}
with
SendInput, #b{Enter}{Up}ot{Enter}

user3419297 much thanks for your script it works great. I Modified it a little to be open the app.
!a::
Process, Exist, Orzeszek Timer.exe
If (Errorlevel != 0) ; is running
{
WinGet, WinState, MinMax, ahk_exe Orzeszek Timer.exe
If (WinState = "") {
SendInput, #bo{Right}{Enter}
Sleep, 500
CoordMode, Mouse, Window
MouseMove, 150, 80, 0
}
else
WinActivate, ahk_exe Orzeszek Timer.exe
}
else ; is NOT running
Run, "D:\Portable\PortableApps\Orzeszek Timer\Orzeszek Timer.exe"
return
only one minor disadvantage the script depend on app been place first
in windows tray list.
of course I could always redefine {Right x} placement but is there more efficient way to find automatically app placement in tray?

finally works! the only missing part in script was {Up} key as pointed on edit 3 for system tray to become searchable. so now I had no problem to find the exact key. in my case it was
SendInput, #b{Enter}{Up}tt
Sleep, 100
SendInput, {Enter}
I Really don't know how to thank you. you helped me alot )
