AutoHotkey Community

One year ago I contacted Mirko and asked if he can improve Mortcript so it could be a kind of AHK alternative. I wasn't successful, Mirko seems to be to occupited.

Happy new year !!!

After a long night (;-)) ahk can be run within Microsoft Pocket PC Emulator.

I had to change the stack and heapsize. I've doubled the values, tried to run it, doubled again... and so on.

The commandline is empty so it can only start the autohotkey.ini-file at the moment.

It just runs within the emulator. After copying the exe to my navigation system only the message "AutohotkeyCE is not a valid Windows CE application" is displayed.

I'm working on it.

Edit: Here is the link to the exe. It is compiled for ARM-processors.

If you like, you can test the exe on your WinCE-device if it's running.

It's working!
I don't test AHK functionality, but EXE runs properly (Windows Mobile 5.0, HTC/Qtek S200, Processor OMAP 200MHz, 65 MB RAM)

Happy New Year to you too.

(If I found time then I have plan to change my WM version to 6.0. Then I can take a closer look to AHKmobile)

edit
1. I think that at first it should be made functionality of AKH status windows (like: "Lines most recently executed", "Variables and their contents", "Hotkeys and their methods", "Key history and script info", etc...), which are reachable by double clicking AHK's systray icon.
Because this windows gave us a vital info about what events AHK receive (like pen taping on the screen) and execution of AHK scripts.
2. Initial *.ini file is not saved in same directory as EXE.

more testing:
after adding #Persistent to top of the autohotkey.ini file and commenting out #Z:: hotkey line then 2 dialog boxes appear:
first:
Note: The hotkey ^!n:: will not be active because it does not exist the current keyboard layout.

and after taping "ok" second dialog:
RegClass

after this probably process ends, because it not figure in process list.

additional commenting out results displays only "RegClass" dialog.

Sounds like some promising progress is taking place
Unfortunately I don't own any of these devices so can't aid with the testing
But keep up the good work and progress updates

Hi,
thank you for testing !!!

To be able to start the exe is just the first of many many steps.

To achive fast results (to be able to compile and link) I've used macros to convert strings to unicode to be able to call functions.

Most times the string is changed by the function and the result is being lost.
I have to convert the string and copy the result back to an autohotkey variable (in the source not the script).

A lot of features aren't working, because the Windows CE api is different or doesn't exist.

A lot of defines (transparence, backgroundcolor, TOOLTIP) aren't part of the Windows CE api. So functions have to be rewritten or just aren't working.

Hotkey hooks aren't defined but they are implemented in a windows CE dll. Code has to be adjusted.

So there is a lot of work left.

The next steps are to figure out what is working and what is not.



Well, these windows are useful for scriptwriters to "debug" their code, but at the moment the script isn't running very well at all.
I would prefer to list which commands are working and which are not and if possible to make them work.
If most commands are working, I wil have a look at the status windows.

I have both WinCE and Windows Mobile. I can help test. I do not have either device with me today, though.

I've got two Pocket PC Phone Edition (WM2003, WM5) and I can help with trying out something.
The current exe shows me "Can't create script". The nevertheless created script shows the invalid hotkey message.
When removing the hotkeys a Dialog Box with RegClass appears.

Hi halweg, ahklerner, Tester,

thank you for your offer to test that version.

Some smaller scripts should work now. If you found something that does not work, please inform me about that. (At the moment, most commands are untested)

I will test all commands of autohotkey (which are documented in the help) and I will write down the working commands there

This seems to be the most current and active thread on AHK for Windows Mobile (PocketPC/Pocket PC)

http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27146

Hopefully we can get this going on a broader user/developer base.

Thx,

I realize this is an OLD thread, and I appolgize for that, I just saw that the other thread(linked to in posts above mine) was 19 pages long, and I didn't want to clutter up any space that could be used for the pocket pc's ahk version development when I just wanted to thank Micha for working on this!

Well, that gave away what my post is about,
But thank you A BUNCH for working on this!
I know tonight after I get out of my college class I am going to read all the pages of that thread after I read the page you linked to in the first post.

But thanks again.
Cody.

Hi Mr.Micha,
I'm very interested in your work. Can you upload this file again. I need the compiler working on Window CE 6.0 . My device is arm cortex 8, freescale. So, I think I need the compiler for the arm processor. I try the compiler in the first page but it not work. Thank you very much.
