Hi, I'd like to have my script suspended when the active window is one of the programs I have on a list.

So far, I managed to suspend the script only in one application, which is FileZilla, adding the following to the beginning of the code.



This is because my hostrings mess with the directories navigation. Other applications that require the hotstrings to be suspended are the command prompts, so as the file managers like Windows Explorer and its alternatives.

The downside is that this block cannot be repeated. If I copy-paste this block replacing the ahk_class for the other program, only the first will cause the script to suspend.

How to circumvent this?

Thanks!

I would use a SetTimer
You can put as many in this as you want

Oh my God man, that seem to work, thanks! Never heard of the SetTimer command also... But won't this routine executed every 100 miliseconds hog a little my resources (my pc is kinda old), enough to have the hotstrings to feel that undesired delay? Or am I paranoid?

Thanks anyway!

If it causes a noticible lag make the timer longer.
Edit: I just checked with Task Manager on My 1 Gig machine it uses less than 1 persent as is. But even if you make it 1000 chances are you are still moving the mouse around or getting your hands in position when the next pass comes around.

@Da Rossa
You might have a look at this command
it allows you to specify windows by a criteria and add that criteria to a group, then the group can be used in place of a single window reference.

OTOH, it sure seems like you are "doing it the hard way"

Why not have "Context-sensitive Hotkeys" ?

Hmm, just like I suspected...
My code endep up like this:


And, when ahk_class ATL:ExplorerFrame is active, the icon keeps blinking at the system tray. The same for ahk_class ExploreWClass. So this is lag.
Curiously, when ahk_class wxWindowClassNR is active, it doesn't blink. Why?

Edit: @Leef: looking at your idea now. I was writing my post when you posted yours.

Ok, here we go.

I implemented the following, which appers to be working very fine:



"Excluir das hotstrings" means exclude from hotstrings scope.

This is indeed the easier way.
Thanks!!
