Hi,

here's a double beginner question - hope you don't mind Smile

In this example I try to put the right mouse button on the
"q" button - when the Program "Textpad" is the active window.

I put this code into the autohotkey.ini

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinActive, TextPad
{
  q::
  Send, {RButton Down}
  KeyWait, q
  Send, {RButton Up}
  return
} 


It doesn't work completely - it works all the time, no matter
if I use Textpad or not.

My two questions:

1. How can I detect that Textpad is running in the foreground (The Window title includes TextPad)
2. Does is make sense to scan for the key "q" and then for the window title, or should I scan the active window title first?

Code:
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
$q::
IfWinActive, Textpad
{
  Send, {RButton Down}
  KeyWait, q
  Send, {RButton Up}
}
Else
  Send, q
return


the $ makes it a pass-through hotkey.

There is a little problem with this: the TextPad help window is also titled TextPad. So, an extra check for the processname would be helpful, like this:
Code:
   WinGet, sProcessName, ProcessName, A
   If sProcessName = TextPad.exe
