ok, so i just recently started learning about scripts. Can anyone take a look at my script and tell me whats wrong? cuz it runs fine like 2-3 times then the next time after it spazzes out and doesnt do it anymore. sometimes the clicking action doesnt even work. TIA for all who looked

oh ok i see what you did there with the loop, 5. that does make it alot simpler. and the randomchar function i wasnt sure what it was. i was just going by what a friend had given me as an example. thanks a ton

[scripttednoobie]

if i wanted to write a script to take a screenshot of my desktop and save it in a folder on my desktop how would i go about executing that function. sorry im still new to this scripting business. thanks in advance

[girlgamer]

How would you create this same effect if you were doing it by hand without a script? Exactly what steps and in what order would you need to accomplish what you want to do? Write those steps down in the exact order you would have to do them -- all clicks, sends, etc. That is the outline for the script you're thinking of. Once you have that then you can begin to write a script to do it.

[dylan904]

Gdip...
This should work to your liking, it replaces the prt sc functionality while running, the only difference is it will now be saved to a file in your scripts directory in a folder named PrintScreens...

!PrintScreen::
PrintScreen::
If (A_ThisHotkey = "!PrintScreen")
   WinGetPos, X, Y, Width, Height, A
Else
   X := 0, Y := 0, Width := A_ScreenWidth, Height := A_ScreenHeight
While (FileExist("PrintScreens\" . A_Index . ".png"))
   FileNum := A_Index
++FileNum
pToken := Gdip_Startup()
Gdip_SaveBitmapToFile(pBitmap := Gdip_BitmapFromScreen(X . "|" . Y . "|" . Width . "|" . Height), "PrintScreens\" . FileNum . ".png")
Gdip_DisposeImage(pBitmap)
Gdip_Shutdown(pToken)
return

[scripttednoobie]

ok thanks for the replies. ill try it out once i get home and ill tell you how it went

@girlgamer well i know how to do it manually but writing a script is confusing especially if you dont know the commands for it. which is where i was getting at. i browse through the help and tutorials but i get so lost into all those lingo. i spent about 4 hrs last night just trying to write the original post >.<;;

@dylan904 i appreciate the time you take to help me write those scripts. <3 if theres anything you need. dont hesitate to ask

[dylan904]

I guess I'll go ahead and mention that you need to get the Gdip.ahk library in the link in my last post and put it in your script, or any other location before you can run that.

[scripttednoobie]

ya i saw the hyperlink to it. so it goes into my saved .ahk file? or what do you mean put it in my script? and if i wanted to do it two seperate occassions i would have to put that script into my existing script twice correct?

[dylan904]

You can just paste it to the bottom of your script, or you can save it to its own file at this location. Just run the msgbox MsgBox % A_AhkPath . "\Lib\"

[girlgamer]

Just so you know -- the steps are the script. If you send a key to a window you use the send command if you have to click you use the click command if you need to position the mouse on the screen somewhere you use the MouseMove command. The actions you need to do manually are the same ones your script will have to do as well. finding the right commands is just a matter of taking one step from your list and trying to find the command or commands that might do that in the autohotkey help file. Honestly, the most difficult part is getting the steps down in sufficient detail first so the script can do them.

[scripttednoobie]

ok so what im finding out is that every 2-3 times it does something wierd like spazzzes out. like sometimes it ignores my click command totally. theres nothing wrong with the script is there...? im thinking that it has to do with my connection. any insight?

[girlgamer]

If it works at all it works. the issue is timing. maybe you're sending too fast? Maybe you're not waiting long enough to do the next command. Speed can be a serious issue in certain apps. Inserting sleeps between read or write commands can help a lot. Sometimes you just have to figure out exactly what part of the script is trippin' on you.

[scripttednoobie]

MouseClickDrag, left, x, y, x, y

IS such a pain!! only way to scroll...but so hard to be precise. hehe thanks a bunch for all the info im almost done with my script! when im done ill post it on here for you guys to see. dont be to rough on it though, hehe just a bunch of clicks and whatnot. anyways im happy that it was working. again thank you for replies

[dylan904]

No, you should be able to use Send {LButton Down}{WheelDown}{LButton Up}, yes?
To send more than 1 scroll, put a space and the number of scrolls after WheelDown or WheelUp.
