 |
|
Hey guys,
I'm trying to create a script to show/hide the default windows battery meter but I'm having trouble, namely because I don't really know what I'm doing.
So far I have
F1::
WinActivate ahk_class BatMeterFlyout
return
but that doesn't work. I'm not sure why - thats what I got for the battery meter from window spy. can anybody help?
cheers

That's like saying "the car doesn't work for me."
Do you not like the color ? 
Where does it not work ? |

Can somebody please help me? The ahk_class is BatMeterFlyout but for some reason WinActivate doesn't work
Cheers,

Did you try to follow the instructions in my script ?
They are rather simple and only need to be done once.
| Quote: | | msgbox Move mouse cursor the battery power icon & press F1 |
I just did a google search for that name and came with 2 hits, yours and one at support.fogcreek.com.
There doesn't seem to be any control of it by VBA or other code.
Again, it seems that clicking the icon is the only way to show the window.
Have you found some other way to manually show the window? |
