 Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2004 3:25 pm Post subject: tooltip affecting hotkey |
 |
|
This tooltip menu runs fine for a while, but eventually the tooltip menu stops responding to a ~Lbutton click.
The tooltip menu will continue to respond to F10 (F10 and ~Lbutton activate the same code), and ~Lbutton will continue to work outside of the tooltip.
Mbutton will also continue to work by toggling the tooltip on and off.
The only problem is ~Lbutton will cease to run its hotkey code, even though F10 will run the code.
| Code: | ;____User Configurable Menu - Rajat_______
; WinActivate, ahk_class tooltips_class32 ;ahk_class #32770
;You can set any title here for the menu
MenuTitle = =========
;Delay after which the menu is shown

I tried about 50 clicks with that script and couldn't reproduce that behavior.
Perhaps you can help me isolate this. When it stops responding, check the View > Hotkeys menu item in the main window's menu. Does it say that the ~LButton hotkey is running? If so, that's a problem. If not, check the View > Key history menu item. It should have something like the below in it for each time you press the left button:
| Quote: | | 01 000 h d 0.93 LButton ========= |
And every time it shows an h in the 3rd column like the above, the subroutine should launch (as evidenced by View > Lines) unless it's already running as shown by View > Hotkeys.
Thanks,
Chris |

there is a '1' in front of ~LButton
| Code: | m-hook ~MButton
reg F10
m-hook 1 ~LButton
reg ^+y
reg #p
k-hook a & g
k-hook space & t

The 1 means that the ~LButton hotkey is running, that it has 1 thread. When this happens, check "key history" to see what it says for these 3 lines:
Enabled Timers
Interrupted threads
Paused threads
Based on what it says there I will try to figure it out some more. Thanks for your help. |

i cleared the history by pressing many F5's.
then brought up the tooltip (mbutton)
then left clicked on tooltip
then alt-tab back to history display
then F5 to refresh history.
resulting in the below.
| Code: | Window: D:\Documents and Settings\dexter\My Documents\apps.ahk - AutoHotkey v1.0.12
Keybd hook: yes
Mouse hook: yes
Last hotkey type: not keybd hook
Enabled Timers: 0 of 0 ()
Interrupted threads: 0
Paused threads: 0 of 1 (1 layers)
Modifiers (GetKeyState() now) =
Modifiers (Hook's Logical) =
Modifiers (Hook's Physical) =
Prefix key is down: no
The oldest are listed first. VK=Virtual Key, SC=Scan Code, Elapsed=Seconds since the previous event, Types: h=Hook Hotkey, s=Suppressed (hidden from system), i=Ignored because it was generated by the script itself.
VK SC Type Up/Dn Elapsed Key Window

You might first try upgrading to v1.0.13 on the off-chance that this has been resolved. If that doesn't help, you're the only one who can try to isolate this (unless someone else can reproduce the problem) using steps such as the below.
Did the LButton hotkey fail to respond correctly when you pressed F5 the final time and copied the data you posted? If not, I need to see the data for when it fails to respond.
Were you running any other scripts at the same time?
Are you using the script exactly as posted above, or are there other hotkeys/timers in it?
When the hotkey stops responding, the View > Hotkeys function will display a 1 near the LButton hotkey (as you posted earlier). While that 1 is there, it means that hotkey's subroutine is running as a thread. At this time, does View > Key History show interrupted threads greater than 0? If so, there's probably some other hotkey or timer that interrupted it. If not, use View > Lines to find out what line it's stuck on.
The last task above is the most important: the last line will show a number in parens to its right to indicate how long that line was run. That number should increase as you press F5 to indicate that the script is idle. If you think it's useful, the next time you get it to stop responding, post the last 10 lines or so from View > Lines.
Finally, as a temporary workaround until the problem is isolated, you might try this:
...
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 10
~LButton::
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 1
...
The above might cause hung threads to start stacking up until the limit of 10 is reached (as shown by View > Key History). If it does, it would be good if I can find a way to get threads to hang on my system as well.
Thanks for your patience. |

i may have found the problem. please dont spend any more time on this. could be user error. 
i sliced and diced the script many many times, over many days, before posting it as a problem, darn it. |
