I still need a way to get the popup text from a systray icon.
Do you really want that or do you just want to get rid of them?
The app changes the popup text on the systray icon as it goes thru it's startup, and presumeably it's failure modes, but i have not had failure on it yet. So the app can be running, the real window on the screen is unchanged, but the popup text when mousing over the systray icon will change. I need to know when it says "Connected...".
From looking around, it looks like this sort of thing is triggered by some event, whether external (mouse over) or based on whatever the program is doing. And then the program throws up the notification. I don't think it's sitting there, queued up or anything where you could peek at it.
I'd guess that in order to do what you're looking to do, you'd probably need to periodically check to see if you could find the notification window. Though I don't know that you could read the text off of it anyways. I suspect you'll have to find another way to find out what's going on.
