AutoHotkey Community

All my modules are included at the end. Thats not going to change.

Do you expect problems if the subroutines are inside the from calling function? If it works, then the module would not affect the AutoExecution section. SetTimer calls subs inside same function also. or I am wrong??

--> Don't feed the troll! <--

just to be clear, according to your license, i cannot use this function in a commercial program?

According to the licence you can't, but go and use it anyway. I am switching many previously non-commercial modules to BSD, including Dock.

The latest version is not working with Autohotkey_L (rev. 51), any idea what is needed to get it working?

I would really like to use it in my program to create tabs for explorer, but I rely on ahk_l for #if and objects.

I found the reason, it is because [ and ] are no longer allowed in variable names. Removing those characters makes it work.

Edit: One more thing, I would also really like to see being able to use multiple hosts, I really look forward to that. For now, I'm just going to show it for the active window only, but it would be cool if one could do it for any window.

One more edit:
I'm noticing a couple of problems.
I want to show a gui over explorer titlebars, so that it always shows up on active explorer. To do that, I registered a shell hook and set Dock_HostId to the active explorer window. This works somewhat fine if 2 explorers are visible and I click on one of them. I have put "T" in the toggle options to keep it on top of the explorer window, but it doesn't work with windows apart from the one where it was first created. On other windows it will be behind the window.
Also, when I minimize a window, and another explorer window becomes active, it isn't updated, even though my call to Dock_Update is executed.

Please keep in mind that I had to remove every [ and ] to make it work in AHK_L. Not sure if this could cause any of those problems.

does anyone have any workarounds for this? like maybe a master script that will call child scripts to allow multiple docking hosts?

That would probably be an option.
Right now I'm doing the positioning and showing/hiding of my guis manually.

i hacked this together today. dock to multiple hosts, host is whichever window your mouse is over. mouse over window press F2

Hi majkinetor,

maybe I have don't understand how your script work, but here is my question. For illustration purpose, I will use the script wrote by doyle on the previous page :


So when the script is running and you open a notepad windows, it create a new gui which should be dock to the notepad window just opened. But as you can see if you try this script, when the notepad window is moved, the gui don't follow.
Is there a problem on the ahk script ?

Edit : in addition, the documentation says :

Is it possible with your Dock.ahk script to glue a ahk windows on a third-party windows ?

Your example works here as it should. Probably a version problem. Which one do you have ?

Majkinetor, thanks for you reply.
I use the Dock.ahk script from the fisrt post of this discussion, the la st line of the script are :



So it seems that I use the ver 1.0 of your script.
My Autohotkey version is v1.0.90.00 (seems to be the last version).

So you confirme that my example don't work correctly on my computer and normally when I move the notepad window, the gui must follow, right ?

Your sample doesn't work because u use v1.0 and dock definition string for v2.0 (in v1.0 there were no x, y, w, h & t in the string, only numbers).

You should download v2.0b3 from History section and it will work.

I have made some test with the v2.0 b3 : still have the same problem
If I debug with :


Thanks majkinetor for your support.

I have a OK message, so docking works, but the gui not foolow my notepad windows when i move it...
Other thing, the gui is located at x200 y200 on my screen, so it seems that it dock my gui on the desktop and not on the host window (notepad), so I remove the param. x200 y200 on the Gui, 5: Show, x200 y200 line, now the Gui appears on center of my screen, but still dock on the desktop and not on the notepad windows...
Any idea ?

No idea, sorry, but its probably some error you make since its never reported before that this module doesn't work. Like I said, your code works here.

Do several samples that are provided in the archive work ?
