I have a script activated by a hotkey but only executes on the first hit. If however I put in a dummy assignment statement, it works fine.
Here's the code that executes only once:

!f::
;MsgBox starting
WinWait, Creative MediaSource,
IfWinNotActive, Creative MediaSource, , WinActivate, Creative MediaSource,
WinWaitActive, Creative MediaSource,
MouseClick, left, 331, 96
MouseClick, left, 331, 99
WinWait, EAX Advanced HD,
IfWinNotActive, EAX Advanced HD, , WinActivate, EAX Advanced HD,
MouseClick, left, 477, 52
MouseClick, left, 477, 52
MouseClick, left, 455, 50
MouseClick, left, 257, 181
MouseClick, left, 257, 181
Send, {CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}
; MsgBox %clipboard%
if (clipboard <= 1.90)
clipboard := clipboard + 0.10
; MsgBox %clipboard%
Send, {CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP}
MouseClick, left, 480, 20

If I display the first "starting" textbox, the script will work every time the alt-f is hit.

Can someone explain why it works with the display message box but works only on the first invocation if the textbox "starting" is commented out?

Furthernote. I've added a dummy assignment "Var1 := 1", and the script works fine. Then I took the assignment statement out and it still works fine. The script/program appears unstable. Can someone explain why this is happening?

Hi,
does your code have a return at the end?
What AHK version are you using?

I tried both "return" and "exit." Neither one works.

Try opening the script's main window via its tray icon. It shows you the lines most recently executed, which can help debug a script.

If the problem persists, please post again and more investigation will be done.

The "latest lines executed" was helpful -thanks Chris.
After the script clicks on a button, it will often (not always) hang on a statement like:



The lines following this above statement are:



If I reload the script or manually click the button to activate the window it will continue with the script.
Any suggestions?

Blaine.

Chances are, the window "EAX Advanced HD" doesn't exist, isn't visible, or doesn't exactly match the title according to SetTitleMatchMode. You could try changing the above line to:

That is a useful piece of code - thanks.
It showed the window wasn't active, so now instead of displaying a message I have it click the button again.

Cheers,
Blaine.
