I thought I had seen a thread on this but when I searched for it, no luck. I would like to send keystrokes to an application that does not have focus at the time and would prefer not to give it focus ...

Give this a try if you like, it's MUCH more efficient than what you had and should function identically. Sorry but I had no way to test so good luck.

I'm going to look into allowing the gui-variable method to be used with the other Control commands. Thanks for the idea.

Now we have hit the problem I've been trying (very badly I'm afraid) to get ...

Well I'm thrilled you said it, but let's try again, how about this one:

WinTitle = MyButtons
Gui, Add, Button, x+10 vMyButton1, 1
Gui, Add, Button, x+10 vMyButton2, 2
Gui, Add, Button, x+10 vM ...

Ok, based on your question you already know how to read the file, in your loop just add the strings

Myvar += %A_LoopField%

Not sure if the var is right but you should already know that part.

You might try adding your own section header to it. It's very possible that although the program does not add one it will not complain if you do. Shocked

"]Simple question:
Is there any way to convert a string to a variable?

Umm, not sure that's a simple question. You have a variable that say contains the string Mystring and you want to create a n ...

I was also able to right click the top bar of this window, about 2 or 3 pixels were showing. 1024x768 XP

Ok, let's do it this way... This code does not do as expected...

WinTitle = MyButtons
Gui, Add, Button, x+10 vMyButton1, 1
Gui, Add, Button, x+10 vMyButton2, 2
Gui, Add, Button, x+10 vMyButton ...

In all the time I've been coding with AHK my biggest frustration is to be able to KNOW I'm addressing a specific control. Is there any way to define a control that can always be addressed specificall ...

It occurred to me today, since I work with pixels a lot, why don't I just remove the RGB param off of all my commands, I don't really care if it's RGB or BGR... then I remembered that the reason I hav ...

This appears to be caused by the fact that ControlClick sometimes activates the target window as a side-effect.

More specifically it activates the target window as a side-effect the first time ...

Just a thought, Opera handles tabbed windows very well... if you try it you'll never go back ).

Ok, this is a complete code snippet that will demonstrate the problem. I don't think you can do it wrong so just run it. What I am trying to demonstrate is that the 2nd window dissapears when the -c ...

What does the button do? Chances are it could be replicated in AHK, and I think a button in the system tray would be more sensible than one on the titlebar. (You can do this by making the tray button ...
