Hi!

In a particular window1 (not a ahk_gui) i want to check if a user clicks either button1 or button2. I found this script to do just that:

Code:

; this enables the hotkey - i.e. "begins waiting for LButton"
Hotkey, LButton, left_button, On

;...

left_button:  ; <-- this is a regular label
    MouseGetPos, , , mWin, mCont
    ; WinExist may be used to check that mWin is the correct window.
    if WinExist (mWin = "Window1") AND (mCont = "ATL:312324D815") ;assuming btnNew contains the button's ClassNN
    {
        MsgBox clicked the button.
    }
    else  ; let the user click stuff
    {
        Click down
        KeyWait, LButton
        Click up
    }
return

got this from this topic:

http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26096&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=check

This works, however when I want to do this in the middle of another script, it doesn't work anymore. It just fires the MsgBox, without having clicked the leftmousebutton.

This is my script:

Code:

Gui, +AlwaysOnTop
Gui, Font, S14 CDefault Bold, Verdana
Gui, Add, Edit, x6 y7 w150 h30 vOrdernr
Gui, Add, Button, default x166 y7 w100 h30 , GO!
;Generated using SmartGUI Creator 4.0
Gui, Show, x242 y127 h45 w270, Facturen afdrukken
WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, On, Facturen afdrukken
Return

F7::
IfWinExist, Facturen afdrukken
WinHide
Else
WinShow, Facturen afdrukken
return

ButtonGO!:
Gui, Submit, NoHide
WinWait, 921 Leveringen - Exact Globe - 253144:175:001 (Netherlands),

{
MsgBox, Order %Ordernr% is niet gevonden
exit
}
else
MouseClick, left, 414, 426

ControlClick, &Leveringen, 921 Leveringen - Exact Globe - 253144:175:001 (Netherlands)

WinWait, 921 Leveringen - Exact,
IfWinNotActive, 921 Leveringen - Exact, , WinActivate, 921 Leveringen - Exact,
WinWaitActive, 921 Leveringen - Exact,
Sleep, 3000

ControlGetText, test, FipEdit2, 921 Leveringen - Exact
Sleep, 100
ControlSetText, FipEdit2, , 921 Leveringen - Exact
Sleep, 100

; this enables the hotkey - i.e. "begins waiting for LButton"
Hotkey, IfWinActive, 921 Leveringen - Exact
Hotkey, LButton, left_button

left_button:  ; <-- this is a regular label
MouseGetPos, , , mWin, mCont
MsgBox, %mCont% ;for testing purposes

    ; WinExist may be used to check that mWin is the correct window.
    if mCont = "ATL:312324D815"  ; mCont = Annuleren
    {
        MsgBox You CLICKED Annuleren
    }
    else  ; let the user click stuff
    {
        Click down
        KeyWait, LButton
        Click up
     }

; rest of script....


Without clicking leftmousebutton it shows MsgBox %mCont%, where mCont is a variable of a control where i hover over with my mouse at that time. While it should show the msgbox when i clicked a control myself.

Can somebody help me please! Embarassed

The HotKey dosenīt wait for any thing , the only thing that HotKey does is:

Creates, modifies, enables, or disables a like is saying on help.

Id you want to wait for any key pressed you need to use the command KeyWait

Code:

KeyWait, LButton, D

ok, but problem is that the user may click anywhere anytime, but if he clicks that specific button in that specific window the script must continue else stop the script. In the first scipt it does that. i can click everywhere in the window and nothing happens, but if i click on the button it continues the script, just like i want to. But is does not do that in the second script. Confused

that is not any problem you need to use a if command.
Check the example that you have on the command GetKeyState.

you say that the Hotkey command does not wait for anything, but how do you explain that this does wait for the leftbutton to be clicked:
Code:

; this enables the hotkey - i.e. "begins waiting for LButton"
Hotkey, LButton, left_button, On


this works in the standalone script.

I'm not familiar with GetKeyState. But will check it out and search for examples in the forum

Place a return after the hotkey command otherwise program flow will continue past the label and execute the command which would normally execute on the click.
