Hi,

I want to be able to send often used strings to various applications. I don't want to use a keyboard shortcut but use the tray menu.

I have extended the ahk tray menu with some menu items, however, how do I activate that window that was active before I clicked on the tray icon?
I don't think that WinActivate ca help me, because I don't have a specific window name, it could be whatever windows I want.

e.g. I have the cursor in a web form in my browser and want to enter some often used text (e.g. my name), so I want to right click the H in the tray and select "Insert Name", then my script should my name to the last cursor position.

Oliver

Since it should be the last active window you should find it with WinGet,List, please see http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4810 for more code snippets

Thanks, that helped me a lot.
Unfortunately e.g. in a browser formular the cursor is not in the same field as before, so I made a workaround this way: the script waits for a left mouse click, this way I can set the cursor with a left mouse click to the right form field.

Code:
#Persistent
#SingleInstance
menu, tray, add ; separator
menu, tray, add, Write EMail Address, email
return

email:
  WinGet, WindowList, List
  List =
  Loop %WindowList%
  {
    WinUID := WindowList%A_Index%
    WinGetTitle, WinTitle, ahk_id %WinUID%
    If WinTitle <>
      Break
  }
  WinActivate, ahk_id %WinUID%
  KeyWait, Lbutton , D T60
  if ErrorLevel=0 ; clicked
    Send, my@email.address
return



Hey, that's my first real script and I'm proud of it ;-)

Thanks again for your help!

Is this looping though the Windows also possible for the controls?
I want to put the cursor in the last active field again...

Thanks,

Oliver

Instead of using the tray icon, you could use a RButton Menu. So the control doesn't loose its focus (or you can reactivate it with a mouse click at the same location you right clicked) and sending is easier.

Rajat made a script for this

It might be more complex then you need it.

No, because I do not want to send strings to a special application but I want to be able to send to ANY app, including apps that has context menues so I don't want to bind to the right mouse button.

You could use any hotkey you like to pop up the menu. It is just an idea, that will solve your problem.
I doubt that you can get a list of last active controls. Specially from a browser. So there will be no option to loop through them.

The following code demonstrates sending text to the last active window and control:

Code:
WM_USER = 0x400
AHK_NOTIFYICON := WM_USER+4
OnMessage( AHK_NOTIFYICON, "HandleMessage" )

Menu, Tray, NoStandard
Menu, Tray, Add, Insert Name, InsertName
Menu, Tray, Add
Menu, Tray, Standard
return

HandleMessage( p_w, p_l )
{
   global   hw_last_active, control_last_active, hold_last_active

   ; WM_MOUSEMOVE
   if ( p_l = 0x200 and ! hold_last_active )
   {
      WinGet, hw_last_active, ID, A
      ControlGetFocus, control_last_active, ahk_id %hw_last_active%
   }
   ; WM_RBUTTONDOWN
   else if ( p_l = 0x204 )
   {
      hold_last_active := true
   }
}

InsertName:
   ControlSendRaw, %control_last_active%, Oliver Kötter, ahk_id %hw_last_active%
   
   hold_last_active := false
return

How would this script look like if I did not use the tray icon but a user generated menu on the Win-Q key?

Code:
menu, SubMenuTexts, add, &Login x, LoginX
menu, SubMenuTexts, add, &Passwort Y, PassWdY

Menu, Ollie, add, Texte, :SubMenuTexts
menu, Ollie, add, other Stuff, otherStuff
menu, Ollie, add
menu, Ollie, add, Open in ... , OpenIn

; Hotkeys:

; Windows-Q für Quickmenu
#q:: menu Ollie, Show


I guess I don't need the OnMessage because I can handle the ControlGetFocus before the "menu Ollie, Show" so that the control does not lose focus before the ControlGetFocus, but then I don't have the p_w and the p_l parameters...

Exactly. Review the syntax for WinGet and ControlGetFocus to understand the meaning of each parameter.
