Killing the process is a pretty bad idea with uTorrent and the you may use uTorrent_Exit() which exits uTorrent by simulating File > Exit through WM_COMMAND.
Though the tray icon disappears immediately, the process ( utorrent.exe ) will persist until it notifies the trackers, which would typically take around 10 seconds.

The return value will be Seconds taken if successful or the PID itself if the process was not closed within 20 seconds.

Do you really need the DllCall()s? I think "DetectHiddenWindows on" and the builtin PostMessage should be enough to do the same job.

Exactly!. I learnt this alternative from corrupt.



I prefer functions over a subroutine for the sake of avoiding Global variables,
and I avoid using the following inside functions:

DetectHiddenWindows
SetFormat, Integer, Hex
Gui

Just a matter of preference.

thanx, this is useful

I discovered more wParam values with brute force.. Titles post updated.

Thanks SKAN !
This is just what I've been looking for. Now I don't have to recheck my torrents .
I tried finding those wParams with WinSpector, but had no luck.

Great work!!

How to automatically resume paused downloads in uTorrent? I have bsnl broadband of 500 combo plan so i usually download in free hours by waking up early at 2:00 a.m. So i started to use the software Autopower-on & shutdown it starts the computer at the specified time and utorrent starts on system startup but when computer is on automatically the uTorrent downloads are either paused/stopped how to resume it automatically when the computer is turned on.

I've been wanting something like this. Thanks Skan!

The code to tell µTorrent to resume all is
All hail the mighty Skan !

so, I'm a long way off from being able to do much more than tweak others scripts, so I'm just trying to get the hang of this, but why do you have:
WM_COMMAND :=
&
UTM_RESUMEALL :=
in there? does this send the variables containing the values?
from my understanding := would just be setting the variable for future calls in AHK, making these un-needed for a one-off script like this. but again, I don't really know what I'm doing.

right,

it documents what is going on,

this_var := 1, that_var := 2

sets the vars, but also documents what is what...


can take out the this_var := if desired.

cool thanks, just wanted to make sure.
any reason I would want to include the variables though? is it just to help read the actual script?

exactly.
