Hi,

I have a msgbox with a list of hotstrings as a sort of Help-function for users. Is it possible to have a button on there to print the list? I've searched the forum, but couldn't find anything.

Rgrds,

Ischa

There are only certain buttons available on a MsgBox (as determined by the windows api), so no you cannot add a print button.

Tip: Pressing Control-C while a MsgBox window is active will copy its text to the clipboard. This applies to all MsgBoxes, not just those produced by AutoHotkey.

The thing you could do is have a script to get the text (via a hotkey if you like) to copy the text and print it from that scriipt.

For example, you could use FileAppend to yourfile.text and then Run, print "yourfile.txt"

@iwillems, what about:

>>>The names of the buttons can be customized by following this example. (See next link)

I suppose you could create a GUI that looked like a MsgBox if that's the look you're going for. Then you could create a print button and attach the appropriate action to it.

Code:

Gui, Add, Text, x6 y7 w160 h20 , Instruction 1          Ctrl+1
Gui, Add, Text, x6 y37 w160 h20 , Instruction 2          Ctrl+2
Gui, Add, Text, x6 y67 w160 h20 , Instruction 3          Ctrl+3
Gui, Add, Text, x6 y97 w160 h20 , Instruction 4          Ctrl+4
Gui, Add, Text, x176 y7 w160 h20 , Instruction 5          Ctrl+5
Gui, Add, Text, x176 y37 w160 h20 , Instruction 6          Ctrl+6
Gui, Add, Text, x176 y67 w160 h20 , Instruction 7          Ctrl+7
Gui, Add, Text, x176 y97 w160 h20 , Instruction 8          Ctrl+8
Gui, Add, Button, x66 y137 w100 h30 , Close
Gui, Add, Button, x176 y137 w100 h30 , Print
; Generated using SmartGUI Creator 4.0
Gui, Show, x131 y91 h176 w343, New GUI Window
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp




Hope this helps,
Ryan
