Just a simple code for easy conversion between hexadecimally notated and decimally notated digits. Particularly useful around the PostMessage and SendMessage functions.

I'm not sure if this is somehow obsolete or has already been done but if not, it should help.

Code:
; Not a complicated script but very useful
;_______________________________________________________________________________
;  Usage: Follow the prompts and enter either a hexadecimal value, ie, an or many
; integer/s or alphabetical value/s (Between A-F) proceeded by the prefix,
; 0x (Zero Multiplied By). For example, 0x8 OR/ 0xFFACD. Or a ; ; decimal ;value
; such as 987 or 250. 
;_______________________________________________________________________________
;

MsgBox 4, Hexadecimal Conversion Tool,Hexadecimal to Decimal?

IfMsgBox, No

Gosub, Label1

IfMsgBox, Yes

InputBox, Hex1, Enter a Hexadecimal value

SetFormat, integer, decimal
Lolly -= 0

MsgBox, 0, Hexadecimal Conversion Tool, The Decimal value is %Hex1%

Exit

InputBox, Dec1, Enter a Decimal value

Lollies += 0

MsgBox, 0, Hexadecimal Conversion Tool, The Hexadecimal value is %Dec1%

Not sure what's happened here Maelgwyn but this script appears to be some form of weird hybrid. I've repaired it and it seems to be functional now. I'll just post the new script to save time.

IfMsgBox, No

Exit

InputBox, Dec1, Enter a Decimal value

SetFormat, integer, h
Dec1 += 0

MsgBox, 0, Hexadecimal Conversion Tool, The Hexadecimal value is %Dec1%



Hope this helps.

!!Be sure to copy this script, not the one above!!

I realize this is a long time since the last message in this thread, but I decided to update this script slightly. The two main differences are:

1- There is now no message box asking you which way you want to convert - it just gives you in inputbox where you enter a dec or hex value (in 0x format) and the script determines which type you entered and converts it to the other.

2- The converted value is copied to the clipboard so you can easily paste it into an application.

It could be useful. Btw, you can save a few lines with the newer AHK features
Code:
#h::
   InputBox inp, Hexadecimal Conversion Tool, Enter a decimal value or a hexadecimal value in '0x' format,,,170
   SetFormat Integer, % SubStr(inp,1,2) = "0x" ? "D" : "H"
   MsgBox 0, Hexadecimal Conversion, % "The converted value is " clipboard := inp+0
Return

Wow - very cool. Can you optimize all of my code for me? :)

I am a novice programmer, so I haven't gotten too terribly advanced with AHK - but seeing your optimization opened my eyes to at least one area where I can save myself some keystrokes. Thanks Laszlo.

You can assign these to a hotkey (otherwise it is many keystrokes or mouse clicks), but doing this way takes a couple of seconds, while the AHK solution is practically instantaneous. You can also easily adapt the AHK version to your needs, like 4-8-16 hex digits with padding, lower case or capital letters, etc.

using hotkey to perform that would require excessive cpu and memory resources.

It is not the case, if you have more hotkeys. Each one adds just a few bytes, and no measurable processor load.

I agree with you about the formatting customization (in particular, I think an automatic 0x prefix would be useful), however I find my own (calc!) method to be faster.

I have a calculator button (Launch_App2) on my keyboard, directly above the numpad. I'm much faster entering numbers with the numpad, so moving my hand from the mouse, to #h, then back to the numpad (or using the number keys) would be inefficient.

To convert to hex, I simply:
  1. Hit calc button.
  2. Type a decimal number.
  3. Hit calc button again. (If calc is active, it toggles hex/dec mode - thanks to AHK!)
  4. Ctrl+C to copy (though I don't always want to put it on the clipboard.)
Can't get much faster than that...

Except with hex->dec conversion: I use Numpad0 as a modifier to enter hex digits with the numpad (1-6 become A-F.) :D

Reading this thread has given me an idea... Override ^c in calc to custom-format hexadecimal numbers. 8)
