AutoHotkey Community

A question about #If (expression)
Is there a way to use this for dynamic hotkeys as well? For example:

I forgot to document the following:

Use Hotkey, If, Expression to modify or create hotkey variants under an existing #If, Expression. For example:
The comma is optional for #If, but required for Hotkey, If. Expression must match an existing #If, Expression exactly, including case but excluding trailing or leading spaces or tabs. ErrorLevel is set to 1 if it does not exist somewhere in the script.

(The ability to create new #If expressions with the Hotkey command is planned.)

Aha!

Great, thanks Lexikos.

Also, just for clarification—the #If expression just has to be declared somewhere in the script, but it doesn't have to be the one directly before the Hotkey, If command, right? For example:



is valid?

This is a single-line hotkey, which will not execute the line below it. Other than that, your example should work. The #If expression can be anywhere in any file #included in the current script.

Okay, thanks for the help.

And I know that the Hotkey, If would never get activated in that example, I just wanted to show an example of an order of #If's and Hotkey, Ifs.

Can't wait to see more of your planned list implemented

way AWSOME and GREAT Lexikos!!! thank you SO much!!!

is there any way that we can get an alternate extension ie .ahl and a slightly different tray icon (like the olive-color A one)?
i'd like to run both versions for now - and since your version will run "regular" scripts but not visa-versa...

i just opened test.ahl with your version and it's running just fine - don't know how or why. so that just leaves the tray icon...

There shouldn't be any reason why Lexikos's version wouldn't work with scripts made in normal AHK—it simply adds more features and optimizes some current ones, so there is no reason why older scripts wouldn't function with it.

Edit: Oops, misread what you wrote. My bad!


Is there a reason why you think it wouldn't? Autohotkey scripts are just text files, so the extension doesn't really matter as far as I know.

So are there any plans to merge lexikos' custom build with the official AutoHotkey build?

Guest,
ResHacker is the simplest way to change the icons, from a user standpoint.

philz,
No. Since Chris' priorities are different than my own, my build will always be separate. Some features may make it to the official build, however. After discussing briefly with Chris, I think the following are likely candidates:

• Assume-static.
• Flexibility in dynamic function calls, despite the loss of some error-detection ability.
• #If, despite the potential for input lag.
• While, especially after I implement Do..While.

I am currently working on debugging features in the form of DBGp support. The initial release will likely only support the simplest of clients (a modified XDebugClient), with simple breakpoints, step in, step out and step over.

Thanks so much for sharing your build us! some of these features look very helpful!

who want Do..While?

How about IsFunc() returning the address of a function than 1? Or is there a way to get it without using RegisterCallback and NumGet?

There is a reason I worded it as "a non-zero number." Logically it should return a boolean value, but I see more benefit than harm, so I'll add it in the next commit.

Yes, that led me to have expected a function pointer.
