Mapping a Systray Right Click Menu To An ObjectDock Icon?

from WinCustomize Forums
Are there any Arguments/Modifiers that I can use to activate the Right Click Menu of a Systray Icon from an ObjectDock Icon?

I made an entry on the ObjectDock for Systray Volume by- Link to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\sndvol32.exe Arguments: /tray Normal Work Folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\

This works because the Volume Systray Menu is activated by a Left Click, but when I tried the same Arguments for a Systray Menu that is activated by a Right Click, it didn't work. I figure its because I need to use a different modifier than "Normal" on /tray. Does anyone know what I would use rather than "Normal" as a modifier of /tray or even an entirely different argument in order to make a Right Click Menu appear?

Why not use the "Show system tray icons on the dock" feature?

Way too many systray icons...

I guess no one knows the answer to my query?

I would say it totally depends on the tray app in question. In my experience, that rightclick behaviour is so varied between the different apps that it's likely impossible for Stardock to come up with a general behaviour. Your '/tray' argument that works for sndvol32.exe above will likely not work for another tray app.

The other thing is: are you wanting to activate the dock icon's rightclick menu with a genuine rightclick? In that case, how are you going to get the dock properties of that icon (usually accessed with a rightclick)?

Looks like you're trying to get the sound volume onto the dock? If that's all you want I'm pretty sure there's docklets available for that as a workaround. If you want other selected tray apps, then each one will have to be worked around individually, at least AFAIK.
