 Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 5:53 pm Post subject: Multiple Winwait at once? |
 |
|
Hi, I'm looking for a manner to launch determinate actions when determinate windows are active and do it in a wise manner, without going on infinite loops and having minimal processor impact.
I've tried with settimer with somethig like this, but it doesnt work cause one winwait interrupts the other:
| Code: | #persistent
settitlematchmode, 2
settimer, fire
settimer, notepad
return
fire:
winwaitactive, Firefox
msgbox, fire
return
notepad:
winwaitactive, Notepad
msgbox, Notepad
return
|
I know I can have multiple scripts running together but I find there are too many autohotkey processes and it's not very easy to manage that way, with lots of scripts running at once. Also, I find that doing a loop with ifwinactive would be too much running it all the day, isnt it?
Any advice?. Many thanks. |

| Code: | #persistent
settitlematchmode, 2
settimer, fire, -1
settimer, notepad, -1
return
fire:
winwaitactive, Firefox
msgbox, fire
return
notepad:
winwaitactive, Notepad
msgbox, Notepad
return |
Should work. 
Edit: SetTimer, , -1 runs calls the routines only once. |

Thanks for your answer Skan!. I've tried your suggestion but it seems to have the same behavior: the script waits first for the notepad window so if I activate the firefox one, it doesnt do nothing.
Seems like the winwaits are stacked in the order they are launched, one above the other, in this particular order. |

My code in black means I did not test it .. I should have 
The following works:
| Code: | Gui +LastFound
hWnd := WinExist()
DllCall( "RegisterShellHookWindow", UInt,hWnd )
MsgNum := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", Str,"SHELLHOOK" )
OnMessage( MsgNum, "ShellMessage" )
Return ; // End of Auto-Execute Section //
ShellMessage( wParam,lParam ) {
If ( wParam = 4 ) ; HSHELL_WINDOWACTIVATED
{
WinGetTitle, Title, ahk_id %lParam%
If InStr( Title, "fire" )
SetTimer, fire, -1
If InStr( Title, "notepad" )
SetTimer, notepad, -1
}
}
fire:
msgbox, fire
return
notepad:
msgbox, Notepad
return |

Be aware, this method will work only if Explorer is shell. |

I was wondering about that. My solution to the tested/untested is the disclaimer in my sig

searching my name for "code" gives 446 matches (assume around 70% of those threads are me actually posting code), while I only have 77 threads that have "tested" (assume 10% are not tested code)
So I only test 22% of the time

this is easy & works for me:
Start:
gosub thread1
gosub thread2
gosub thread3
gosub thread4
goto Start ; or replace with timer/end whatever
Thread1:
WinWait, Calc,
msgbox, Calc,
return
Thread2:
WinWait, Firefox,
msgbox, Firefox,
return
etc |

You write code in the reply texbox?! o_O
breech the gosub method is inferior to SetTimer because its single threaded, so you code will only detect firefox when calc is found and dealt with. |

If by this, you mean to ask "Do you write code off the top of your head right into the reply on the forum?", then yes. I often do.
