 Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2007 6:59 pm Post subject: not able to test docs example |
 |
|
Hello, I'm finally taking time to read the docs on GUI, and this example gives me an error with this script:
| Quote: |
Gui, Menu [, MenuName]
Attaches a menu bar to the window. Use the Menu command to create an ordinary menu for this purpose. For example:
Menu, FileMenu, Add, &Open Ctrl+O, MenuFileOpen ; See remarks below about Ctrl+O.
Menu, FileMenu, Add, E&xit, MenuHandler
Menu, HelpMenu, Add, &About, MenuHandler
Menu, MyMenuBar, Add, &File, :FileMenu ; Attach the two sub-menus that were created above.
Menu, MyMenuBar, Add, &Help, :HelpMenu
Gui, Menu, MyMenuBarIn the first line above, notice that &Open is followed by Ctrl+O (with a tab character in between). This indicates a keyboard shortcut that the user may press instead of selecting the menu item. To enable such a shortcut in the script, use a context-sensitive hotkey:
#IfWinActive GUI Window's Title ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI
^o:: ; The Ctrl+O hotkey.
MenuFileOpen:
Gui +OwnDialogs ; Force the user to dismiss the FileSelectFile dialog before returning to the main window.
FileSelectFile, SelectedFile
MsgBox You selected the file %SelectedFile%.
return
; The following part is needed only if the script will be run on Windows 95/98/Me:
#IfWinActive
$^o::Send ^o

the example is only this part:
| Code: |
Menu, FileMenu, Add, &Open Ctrl+O, MenuFileOpen ; See remarks below about Ctrl+O.
Menu, FileMenu, Add, E&xit, MenuHandler
Menu, HelpMenu, Add, &About, MenuHandler
Menu, MyMenuBar, Add, &File, :FileMenu ; Attach the two sub-menus that were created above.

you can tell what is and isn't code by the indentation of the help file.

Hi! I copied your code to a new script and I get this message:
Error: Target label does not exist. The current thread will exit.
Specifically: MenuHandler
Line#
002: Menu,FileMenu,Add,&Open Ctrl+O,MenuFileOpen
---> 003: Menu,FileMenu,Add,E&xit,MenuHandler
004: Menu,HelpMenu,Add,&About,MenuHandler
005: Menu,MyMenuBar,Add,&File,:FileMenu
006: Menu,MyMenuBar,Add,&Help,:HelpMenu
007: Gui,Menu,MyMenuBar
010: Return
012: Gui,+OwnDialogs
013: FileSelectFile,SelectedFile
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
