I have been looking alarm clock/reminder that stays on system tray,
but not found any good/small/easy to use.
Only thing to do was write it.

Notes:
- Alarm.ini is loaded when program is started and saved after every change
In [Alarms] section line format is:
Alarm001=hh:mm dd.mm.yyyy msg
Sound001=c:\fasmw\alarm\alarm.mp3
char between time and date is repeat interval
(space = none,
d = daily, w = weekly, m = monthly, y = yearly,
D = weekdays, E = weekends,
t = 2 weeks, f = 4 weeks, s = 6 weeks, e = 8 weeks)
- on exit show warning if there is alarms left
- maximum 100 different alarms in chronological order
- maximum length of user message is 79 character
- repeat alarm sound in 1 min intervals in next 10 minutes
- you can modify your countrys bank holidays in setup window (format: dd.mm dd.mm dd.mm)
used only by weekdays/weekends repeat intervals
- to load at startup, use checkbox in setup window.
remember uncheck it before you delete program

edit1: ordered alarm list,ini handling rewritten,choice sound,date picker
edit2: LogFile,added daily/weekly/monthly/yearly/weekdays/weekend repeat
edit3: added 2/4/6/8 weeks repeat,edit_dialog,next alarm in tray tooltip
edit4: MP3 support,holidays list,setup dialog,window sizing
edit5: save window pos/size,some tooltips,listbox colors
edit6: added handler for TaskbarCreated,sound test
edit7: write2log,MB_TOPMOST,choose colors,day of week,tabstops in ownerdrawn listbox
edit8: FindWindow,show same day alarms in edit dialog,confirm when delete alarm

i suggest a choice of
"beeping" the system using mb speaker
or using the .wav file.

and user could set like, keep sounding until a button is pressed or watever. (like handphone alarm)

here's some code to add/remove the program from the local machine startup: (i tested the add section, dunno about the remove part)
Code:
;put this in data section
SubKey db 'Alarm',0
RegRunKey db 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run',0
CurrentProgram db '"'
ProgramName rb 514
;put this in code section
add_startup:
invoke  GetModuleFileName,NULL,ProgramName,512 ;get the file name
test    eax,eax
jz      .die;can't get name???
mov     word [ProgramName+eax],'"' ;make sure it is enclosed in quotes in case of spaces
lea     esi,[eax+3]   ;total length
sub     esp,4
invoke  RegOpenKeyEx,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,RegRunKey,0,KEY_WRITE,esp ;change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_CURRENT_USER if necessary
pop     ebx
test    eax,eax
jnz     .die ;error
invoke  RegSetValueEx,ebx,SubKey,0,REG_SZ,CurrentProgram,esi
test    eax,eax
jnz     .die
invoke  RegCloseKey,ebx
ret
.die:
;error handling here.
ret
remove_startup:
sub     esp,4
invoke  RegOpenKeyEx,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,RegRunKey,0,KEY_WRITE,esp ;change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_CURRENT_USER if necessary
pop     ebx
test    eax,eax
jnz     .die ;error
invoke  RegDeleteValue,ebx,SubKey
test    eax,eax
jnz     .die
invoke  RegCloseKey,ebx
ret
.die:
;error handling here.
ret

UCM, thank you, thats just right code and remove works too.
Only problem was that it dont set work dir for data file, like shortcut in startup menu.
Just need copy of program path, not big deal.
Maybe i need think little more, before messing with win register.
If user just delete program, then run key is still there, and thats not good.

vbVeryBeginner, and maybe total silence too.

PS. I'll be back in next week, because here library are close whole Easter.

I have been testing MP3 support, what do you think is it good or bad thing.

This is only test version.

dead_body, it will need to rewrite ini file handling. Something like:

alarm01=09:00y24.12.2006 Merry Christmas!
sound01=c:\mp3\Bing Crosby - White Christmas.mp3

but i will think about it.

Every alarm with own sound effect or mp3 file.

Note: ini format has changed, it is not compatible with old version.
If you want use old alarm.ini close old alarm program Open alarm.ini with notepad and replace
"Alarm=" with "Alarm001=" next alarm with "Alarm002=" , "Alarm003=" , ...
Sound will use default settings

This is still test version

Little bug that change mp3 filename when edit alarm, fixed.
+more speed when save alarm.ini
WritePrivateProfileString was slow when there is many alarms in list, now using WriteFile

edit: Attachment removed, now MP3 support is in first post

Hi, i really like your tool, but it would be nice to have it go to tray when starting. I tried to add
invoke ShowWindow,[hWnd],SW_HIDE
mov [showflag],0
in .initdlg but the window is still staying.

Hi Karl20001, That's good idea I like it. I try to find way to do it.
Currently I have been testing bank holidays list and window sizing, they are working, but need little cleaning. I also like it to check if program is already running, It works if I use CreateWindowEx and FindWindow, but I can't find old program if it's using dialogbox. So I have still lots of learning ahead.

Hide window don't work in WM_INITDIALOG because it's called before window is shown.
Quick and dirty way to hide window at starting was setting extra timer that will be removed in first call. Maybe there is better way to do it, I just didn't find it.

Shocked
I've got exactly this thing as homework!
But I have to do it in C! Sad

And yours in pure ASM looks better than mine trying to do GUI with GUI libraries.
/me gets pwned. Laughing

I hope I'll be able to read your code and learn things like minimize to tray, etc.
And then translate to C.
And I will really do it in pure C and Win32 API.

For a traybar app, you should also handle the TaskbarCreated event.
Otherwise your app won't be seen again if explorer.exe restarts.

Try it for yourself, launch your app and kill "explorer.exe" in the taskmanager. Alarm.exe will still be in memory but won't be accessible anymore.

Here under you'll find a slightly modified version of the tray.asm example.
