Hi,

I tried to put my favorite ahk scripts in one file and compile it.
If I execute them one by one they work perfect but some scripts
doesn't work after I've put them into my favorite ahk script file.
For example the EasyWindowDrag script run very poorly and
the Eject CD script gives me an error message.

Maybe there is another way to start all my favorite scripts with Windows
without having all the icons in my systray. Question

Many thanks.

You should be able to have all your scripts in one exe with no problems. It might help if you posted your combined script so that others can take a look. As far as errors, there is probably an error. So, double check all paths, variable names, parameters, etc. Look through the help file for SetBatchLines to speed things up. Without having any more info, that is all I can do to help.

One idea: why not keep the scripts still in separate files, and #include them into a master file? Works for me. And it is easier to maintain them this way.

ppl are very helpful here!

actually just #including or copying all of them into one big script won't do the trick. the way to attain its is carefully 'merging' them... the most important part is getting the 'auto-execute' section right... get this section of all scripts at one place before the first return or exit and then the rest of the stuff. one more thing, the vars and section names shouldn't conflict!

Rajat's correct, but it'd be much easier for you to post your scripts so we can show you by example. Unless you think you can handle all that by yourself, on the first try. Smile

Thanks for the quick reply.

@Newb
#notrayicon is what I've been looking for. thanks

I've tried to include the other files but it doesn't work.
The EasyWindowDrag script work very poorly and the
VolumeOSD doesn't work. But only if I put them into a
single file.

Alright, I've doctored it a little. Basically all I did was check for conflicting Gui's and Progress's (I found none) and conflicting variables (ditto). Then I moved the auto-execute section of each script to the top and merged them. By the way, in the process of doing this, I removed the comments because it was getting very hard to work with them. Anyway, here's my first try, but I haven't tested it yet:

All I really changed was the auto-execute section, which you can learn more about here. It's kind of hard to explain, but when you're putting together multiple scripts, they all have to share that section at the top.

In a nutshell: all statements not belonging to a label (hotkey, hotstring) must be at the beginning of the script, otherwise they will not be executed. This is the so called "auto-execute section".
