 Posted: Tue May 06, 2008 8:22 pm Post subject: is it possible to add a menu item to a non ahk gui? |
 |
|
I want to add menu items to existing windows.
For example, add a ahk menu to firefox right after the tools menu and help menu...
Essentially, i want window specific gui buttons / other items.
Instead of creating a separate ahk gui window. |

|
|
i guess a way to do it is to create an ahk gui with a menu, and then dock it to firefox or whatever window...
using http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19400&highlight=dock
another way is to use control set text to modify some part of the existing window to give clues as to the hotkeys that can be used in that window...
is there a way to directly add controls to a window? |

your second post is really the only way
anything more requires decompiling the executable and editing it in the IDE of choice for the given language

Or using a technique known as Remote Subclassing. Depends on how desperate you are  |
