 Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2004 6:22 pm Post subject: IE 6 home page reloader |
 |
|
Hi folks...Had some success using AHK and IE kiosk mode, but now I'm running into a problem getting a script to work when a web page is idle. I would like a user to have a 500 second limit before the script reloads the home page. However, if the user is within the 500 second countdown and moves to a new link, the AHK timer resets. Actually, it should reset every time any mouse activity or keyboard activity are present.
Any clues?
Thanks Team! |

If you're using XP/2k/NT, the perfect solution for that seems to be the built-in variable A_TimeIdle: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Variables.htm#TimeIdle
A_TimeIdlePhysical is even better in most cases (requires hook(s)).
| Code: | ;Create a timer in the auto-execute section:
SetTimer, WatchIdleTime, 1000
#InstallMouseHook ; Need at least one hook for A_TimeIdlePhysical
return
WatchIdleTime:
IfWinExist, My Home Page - Microsoft Internet, , return ; Already at home page.
if A_TimeIdlePhysical < 500000 ; 500 seconds, so still okay.
return
; Otherwise, reload home page:
WinActivate, ...
Send, !dhttp://homepage.org{enter}
return |

Chris,
I'll integrate, modify, and report back the snippet within my code about my success.
Thanks again! |

I was impressed by the !d shortcut to go to the address box in IE so I went to see what other shortcuts there are and there is one for going to the home page - ALT+HOME. So the penultimate line of the could be changed from
Send, !dhttp://homepage.org{enter}
to
Send, !{home}
then you would not need to hardcode the homepage
