WOW Goyyah! I'm one of the ones guilty :oops: of not often visiting the other forum so I am just now seeing these, or have missed them somehow anyway, until now. I have noted many excellent and useful posts from you here already though.

I can be very slow :oops: but I am looking forward a great deal to trying some of these and hope to make use of them. Thank You for your generous contributions!

You've probably missed them and only seen the last page since the topic name keeps changing...

@Goyyah: I guess you decided against cleaning up this mess?

Absolutely Amazing Goyyah!
You continue to amaze me with your Tips and Tricks. I like how in your little snippet editor you used at least 3 of your tricks. Really shows how powerful and useful they can be. Keep up the good work! I am eagerly waiting for the next installment!

Dear Bob,

I understand.. For some time this topic was under forum section: Utilities & Resources and Mr.Chris decided to move it here so that this topic will receive due attention.

Thanks for the kind words! I was feeling low for sometime.

Dear Veovis,

Thanks for this ... and many thanks for consistently encouraging me.

Well, im pretty lazy on some abspects of coding. And one of those would be the kind of thing like figuring out how to dynamically write a BMP. No way i would even try. But you did. And its so useful! See my SysInfo 3.0 script.

Also i would never be able to find some of those post message or things you've found, for refreshing things or making a GUI drag itself. So you help me be lazy! Thanks Goyyah!

(I also like how you have you tricks and tips as your signature! Its pretty useful as some times i will be reading a different topic and then see your sig)

No! Not at all..

You are a nice Friend

I do not remember why I posted that way! Maybe I was feeling dejected that day.
It is just that I want to slow down, and be very selective.
I have already opened an another nick.

How to Hide / Show Taskbar buttons ?
http://www.autohotke...p?p=68698#68698

GetTaskmanWindow is an undocumented function available in User32.dll and calling it with
DllCall() returns the handle to the window which contains the
Taskbar buttons ( ahk_class MSTaskSwWClass ).

Interestingly, WinShow command is capable of unhiding windows irrespective of DetectHiddenWindows setting!

To Hide ALL Taskbar buttons:

WinHide, % "ahk_id " DllCall("GetTaskmanWindow")

To UNDO it:

WinShow, % "ahk_id " DllCall("GetTaskmanWindow")

Remarks:

[*:39e6wks1]Important note:

WinGetClass, TBClass, % "ahk_id " DllCall("GetTaskmanWindow"),

TBClass reveals MSTaskSwWClass. But,

WinHide, ahk_class MSTaskSwWClass does not work! :shock:

Neither does hWnd:=WinExist(ahk_class MSTaskSwWClass)! :shock: :shock:

[*:39e6wks1]I just discovered GetTaskmanWindow and wanted to document it. We have a way to
find a handle now and more serious experiments can be done with MSTaskSwWClass window!

[*:39e6wks1]It would be nice if this was included in AHK Documentation!

AHK Documentation for WinHide

Remarks

Use WinShow to unhide a hidden window (DetectHiddenWindows can be either On or Off to do this).

This command operates only upon the topmost matching window except when WinTitle is ahk_group GroupName, in which case all windows in the group are affected.

The Explorer taskbar may be hidden/shown as follows:
WinHide ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
WinShow ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd

All taskbar buttons can be hidden/shown as follows:
WinHide, % "ahk_id " DllCall("GetTaskmanWindow")
WinShow, % "ahk_id " DllCall("GetTaskmanWindow")

Goyyah,

I just realized I was using two of your functions in one line

Gui, Add, Pic, vpic x0 y0 w100 h100, % CreateBMPGradient("Bg.bmp",ColorPicker(),ColorPicker(),1)

so I figured it was about time to say thank you.
Thank you.

Roland.

Dear Roland,

Gui, Add, Pic, vpic x0 y0 w100 h100, % CreateBMPGradient("Bg.bmp",ColorPicker(),ColorPicker(),1)

That was a very creative combination!
ColorPicker() and CreateBMPGradient().

Thanks! .. I had never thought that way!.
