 Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 5:58 pm Post subject: Force all uppercase for a program and its child windows |
 |
|
I have a program that requires frequent data entry. I have been able to automate several parts of the data entry but I need a way to make all entries for this program into all caps regardless of the capslock setting.
I am not the worlds best typist and I hate having to go back and correct my entries if I forgot to check if the capslock light was on. There should be a way to make all entries for that one program and all of its child windows go in as capitals only but the method escapes me. However, I also need it to revert to "normal" if that window is not active. (I think I can code that last bit myself)
Anyone have an idea on this? Thanks... |

See if this does what you want:
| Code: | #IfWinActive Your Window Title
a::Send A
b::Send B
c::Send C
;etc
+a::Send A
+b::Send B
+c::Send C
;etc
#IfWinActive |

Alternatively, you can put IfWinActive "blah" { SetCapsLockState on/off } into a timer like so: | Code: | SetTimer, iHaTeToChEcKmYCaPs, 100
iHaTeToChEcKmYCaPs:
IfWinActive, My Window Title
SetCapsLockState, on
Else IfWinActive, My Next Window Title
SetCapsLockState, on
Else
SetCapsLockState, off
return |
And then you can tweak it to only switch the capslock state once per change of window (so you can still use the capslock key normally)

| Cool, that works....actually they both work but the second one is marginally faster so that's the one I'll use... Thanks for the help!! |

I am new to AHK. I am wondering what you meant about the comment quoted below. Can you post an example?
Thanks
