Physical disk activity monitor show icon in system tray for all in/out operation for all disks in system with three states: no active, min active, active.
Can run/show! taskmgr.exe, run current screen saver (with predefined hot key) and run config screen saver standart Windows dialog.
As based source/idea used hdactmon1.zip from this old masm32 forum. Download: hdactmon1.zip
I used this program when coming to clients (many years ago when HDD was slow-w-w...) and want view HDD activity (virus, swaping, background program used disk, etc) and now when connect remote to clients.
Program may be more perfect, but I am just (re)wrote that places where need use less CPU and add function that I need.
I think this program may be useful not only for support clients, but and in home environment too.
About program work/code:
• Restore TaskMgr window by click/dblClick (not as %badword% Explorer - just run every time TaskMgr [read from disk, run, find own old copy, restore window — long time as for me :mrgreen: ]), or run TaskMgr (if not running), on 64-bit system run 64-bit version! My program 32bit :cool:
• Run screen saver by Ctrl+Alt+Shift+* — that just for me (Explorer always forget about hot kay in LNK file on desktop, after windows forks few days. This was on all Windows XP/7/10, but not on the server edition!)
• Open standart config dialog for screen saver (only 32-bit version, not used often - no time to rewrite procedure :toothy: )
• Program used ANSI (where we run code only one time) and Unicode (for less CPU usage) version WinAPI.
• Added more error handling and other way to get PerfCounters (not worked on some computers)
Update: (2024-02-25)
• Update to latest Masm32 SDK (thanks jj2007)
• Added MANIFEST
• Check for application already running (shared section :cool: )
• Now use Shell_NotifyIconW
• Remove icon from popup menu: not work with Win10 manifest (only 2000/XP)
• Use "my own" struct MENUITEMINFO

Comments and ideas welcome! :icon_idea:
P.S. sorry for my English - haven't talked for a long time.
Hi Digger,
Well done :thumbsup:
Minor corrections:
- line 7: include \masm32\macros\ucmacros.asm
- line 399ff:
SetMenuIcon PROC
LOCAL mii:MENUITEMINFO ;tagMENUITEMINFOW
; Need zero memory? pfff�E
MOV mii.cbSize,sizeof(MENUITEMINFO)
MOV mii.fMask,MIIM_BITMAP
MOV mii.fType,MFT_BITMAP
; no such struct member: MOV mii.hbmpItem,HBMMENU_POPUP_CLOSE
invoke SetMenuItemInfoW,hPopupMenu,IDM_EXIT,0,ADDR mii
RET
SetMenuIcon ENDP
Are you sure you have the latest Masm32 SDK?
Quote from: jj2007 on January 10, 2024, 09:12:49 PM; no such struct member: MOV mii.hbmpItem,HBMMENU_POPUP_CLOSE
Actually, yes, there is such a struct member:
typedef struct tagMENUITEMINFOA {
UINT cbSize;
UINT fMask;
UINT fType;
UINT fState;
UINT wID;
HMENU hSubMenu;
HBITMAP hbmpChecked;
HBITMAP hbmpUnchecked;
ULONG_PTR dwItemData;
LPSTR dwTypeData;
UINT cch;
HBITMAP hbmpItem;
} MENUITEMINFOA, *LPMENUITEMINFOA;(from learn.Microsoft.com (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/ns-winuser-menuiteminfoa))
but it's missing from (at least my copy of)
windows.inc, though. I thought my MASM32 was pretty up-to-date.
typedef struct tagMENUITEMINFOA
{
UINT cbSize;
UINT fMask;
UINT fType; // used if MIIM_TYPE (4.0) or MIIM_FTYPE (>4.0)
UINT fState; // used if MIIM_STATE
UINT wID; // used if MIIM_ID
HMENU hSubMenu; // used if MIIM_SUBMENU
HBITMAP hbmpChecked; // used if MIIM_CHECKMARKS
HBITMAP hbmpUnchecked; // used if MIIM_CHECKMARKS
ULONG_PTR dwItemData; // used if MIIM_DATA
__field_ecount_opt(cch) LPSTR dwTypeData; // used if MIIM_TYPE (4.0) or MIIM_STRING (>4.0)
UINT cch; // used if MIIM_TYPE (4.0) or MIIM_STRING (>4.0)
#if(WINVER >= 0x0500)
HBITMAP hbmpItem; // used if MIIM_BITMAP
#endif /* WINVER >= 0x0500 */
} MENUITEMINFOA, FAR *LPMENUITEMINFOA;

HBITMAP hbmpItem; // used if MIIM_BITMAP
So that means that
a) Windows.inc is a bit outdated (rare, but it happens)
b) OP uses a modified Windows.inc, otherwise it would not assemble on his machine.
The latter is a recipe for disaster, as it makes your code incompatible with the rest of the World, pardon: of the Masm32 forum. The right thing to do in such cases is to use a modified MyMENUITEMINFO in source code that requires it.
Regarding Timo's post, I find it interesting that the current Micro$oft documentation omits that conditional inclusion of the hbmpItem member. Apparently now we're supposed to assume** that WINVER >= 0x0500. (What is that anyhow, XP? Vista?)
** When you ASSUME you make an ASS out of U and ME ...
And yes, that's just another example of how ridiculously behind the times our windows.inc is. I'll be having more to say on that subject here soon ...

Thanks to all for comments!
Updated first post in topic.
P.S. I am digged about using MANIFEST in app and what "we have" in result. Short answer: always use manifest!
I use SetMenuItemBitmap instead to set bitmaps in the menu:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-setmenuitembitmaps (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-setmenuitembitmaps)
It should work for win2k+
Example:
Invoke AppendMenu, hESMenu, MF_STRING, IDM_ES_SEARCH_CODE, Addr szES_SEARCH_CODE
Invoke LoadBitmap, hInstance, BMP_FILTER_SEARCH_CODE
mov hBitmap, eax
Invoke SetMenuItemBitmaps, hTVLRCMenu, IDM_ES_SEARCH_CODE, MF_BYCOMMAND, hBitmap, 0
Quote from: fearless on February 26, 2024, 01:38:14 AMIt should work for win2k+
From my code:
SetMenuIcon PROC
; NOTE: not work with Win10 manifest :(
LOCAL mii:MENUITEMINFO5
invoke RtlZeroMemory,ADDR mii,sizeof(MENUITEMINFO)
MOV mii.cbSize,sizeof(MENUITEMINFO)
MOV mii.fMask,MIIM_BITMAP
MOV mii.fType,MFT_BITMAP
MOV mii.hbmpItem,HBMMENU_POPUP_CLOSE
invoke SetMenuItemInfoW,hPopupMenu,IDM_EXIT,0,ADDR mii
RET
SetMenuIcon ENDP
Need use
system icon HBMMENU_POPUP_CLOSE, work only on Win2k/XP :angelic:
I will try use:
invoke LoadBitmap, 0, OBM_OLD_CLOSE
May by it work... Thanks for idea :icon_idea:
UPD:
Mybad :hmmm:
LOCAL mii:MENUITEMINFO5
MOV mii.cbSize,sizeof(MENUITEMINFO :toothy: )Now all work :eusa_boohoo:

how about Windows 11?
