a mention on the WinGetText command page that it obeys SetTitleMatchMode and will return extra text if 'Slow' is used

 

That is incorrect, as explained here.

Not sure where to post but if someone has 'better' examples for SendLevel and #InputLevel that would be useful. Basic usage works but as soon as you use Unicode characters it seems to fail - see these two non-working examples here: http://www.autohotke...-key-remapping/ http://www.autohotke...art-of-another/ regular a-z 1-0 hotstrings/hotkeys work, unicode hotstrings/hotkeys don't - it might something simple which could/should be clarified in the doc.

Perhaps an example to illustrate the "Common source of confusion" as described here http://l.autohotkey....ions.htm#Locals would be useful to add to the documentation

; This example illustrates the "Common source of confusion" as described above

FunctionWithoutGlobal("a|b|c") ; will fail
FunctionWithGlobal("a|b|c")    ; will work

FunctionWithoutGlobal(String)
	{
	 Loop, % SplitFunction(String)
		MsgBox % A_Index ":" Str%A_Index%     ; second MsgBox will be empty
	 MsgBox Function *without* global: %Str2% ; will be empty
	}

FunctionWithGlobal(String)
	{
	 global
	 Loop, % SplitFunction(String)
		MsgBox % A_Index ":" Str%A_Index%  ; second MsgBox will be b
	 MsgBox Function *with* global: %Str2% ; will show b
	}

SplitFunction(var)	
	{
	 global
	 StringSplit, Str, var, |
	 Return Str0
	}

http://l.autohotkey..../FormatTime.htm

if my tests are correct, the comments for last example are wrong for this line, in both AHK_B and AHK_L docs

return NumberOfSeconds//3600 ":" mmss

; This method is used to support more than 24 hours worth of sections.

should read
 

; This is used to support more than 60 minutes worth of seconds.

Please add the information for ControlGet that ControlGet doesn't support the name of the Autohotkey variable associated with a control as a parameter (to use the name of AHK variable, use GuiControlGet). I remember I've stumbled on this at least two times and saw at least two topics like this one.

Suggest to add a comment below Remarks on http://l.autohotkey....IfWinActive.htm

hotkey::
IfWinActive, window
  ; do this
else
 ; send hotkey
return

to create a context sensitive hotkey as they don't understand/know about #IfWinActive suggested text

Common source of confusion: If you want to create context sensitive hotkeys using #IfWinActive is usually easier to implement.

The SendPlay documentation delivered with the download includes the following which is not available online:

 

However, SendPlay may have no effect at all on Windows Vista or later if User Account Control is enabled, even if the script is running as an administrator. The following script provides a workaround for this problem: http://www.autohotke...topic75595.html.

[Jackie Sztuk _Blackholyman]

seems to be in both the l.net and in the .org

http://l.autohotkey....#SendPlayDetail
http://ahkscript.org...#SendPlayDetail

the .com has been out off date for a long time...

[LazyMan]

Thanks for those links, Blackholyman.

 

It's sad that the documentation at this site is not being kept current.

Have a look here instead ;-)

The link works just fine for me.

The following quoted documentation is included in 2 of the 3 links below it (bet you can guess which one does not have it):

• www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Send.htm#SendPlayDetail
• l.autohotkey.net/docs/commands/Send.htm#SendPlayDetail

That's what I'm talking about!? 

[Lexikos]

Ah, now I understand Blackholyman's reply.  You said it wasn't available online, but the quoted text clearly is, so I assumed you were talking about something else.

 

You may notice the link in the quote is to a topic from the old old forum, but it actually still works.  This is the link I was talking about.

 

Also, there is no documentation at l.autohotkey.net anymore.

FILEAPPEND   documentation

 

The documentation for FILEAPPEND states: "Writes text to the end of a file (first creating the file, if necessary)."  Nothing elso is mentioned in the documentation under FILEAPPEND in regards to creating a file.

 

This is not correct.  If the target directory does not exist, the file is not created.  The system issues A_lasterror  3

[Joefiesta]

A_lasterror.

 

Documentation (e.g.this quote from RUN/WAIT) states: "However, A_LastError is also set by DllCall."

 

This is not exact. It implies that ONLY Run/wait and DLLCALL set A_lasterror.  A_lasterror is set by many AHK commands.
