|
|
I don't know if you're still working on this AutoHotKey trick or not, but if you are ...
You say "The shell receives HSHELL_GETMINRECT ( with a shellhook structure ) whenever a window is being Minimised/Maximised. A script may monitor it to Minimize a window to the tray." In the code I'm writing based on your techique I just need the hWnd member, but it isn't clear how you access it?
My script hides the taskbar before opening a program, but I want to restore the taskbar when the program exits, or when it is minimized or looses focus. In the last two cases I'll then hide the taskbar when the program becomes active again.
I've written the exit part, and am now working on the minimize part, but I don't see an event message that tells me when the window is loosing focus, only when it gets it back.
Thank you. |

I was using Window 98 while I was experimenting.. and then I shifted My OS to 2k and currently using XP.
I can safely say HSHELL_GETMINRECT is very unpredictable in different OSes.
( If it works at all and ) If you are to use it only on your system, you are lucky. Otherwise, I do not recommend SHELLHOOK to monitor Maximize/Minimize events. |

Does anybody have problems with Shell hook and activation ?
I don't receive notifications on Vista. For instance, here is the output of SKANs utuility where different windows were activated:

Activation definitely doesn't work correctly. The same code works on XP and doesn't work on VISTA, and sometimes it even stops working in XP.

Can't get "Always At Bottom" working. To me it seems just like any regular GUI window and isn't "stuck" below everything else. I downloaded your clock sample and it's not always at bottom.
Does the script need an update?
thanks anyhow...lot's of VERY useful scripts! |

I didn't even know AHK had pointers... this thread is epic in an extreme way.

On a related note C is very powerful in pointers but the data type requirements are annoying... I'm not sure how AHK handles those inherent restrictions but it's pretty epic to just be able to define an actual string and then run pointers through it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do these techniques potentially allow AHK to read from crazy data structures like MP3 or what have you? |

Yes here!
I'm glad its not just me thats having shell notification problems.
I thought I wasnt feeding the proper hWnd or something.
In some cases even normal Windows Messages are not detected with OnMessage.
I think there has to be a more robust method for using a given handle  ..

Oh, its Shell Spy.. Got it 
Ok so it looks like the hook method only works on toplevel windows.
There must be a way to hook all window and even control handles!

SHELLHOOK works only on toplevel windows. The OS messages the Shell whenever a window is created/destroyed so that taskbar can update its buttons.
For windows which do not have a taskbar button, the messages will not be sent, which makes sense.
With SHELLHOOK method, we merely intercept the messages without much load on the system resources.

...
Feedback please! |
I'd like to use this tip to stop myself from accidentally closing the Task Manager. I like to keep it running in the tray for the real-time CPU usage graph. This works: | Code: | Run, taskmgr.exe,,,PID
WinWait, ahk_pid %PID%
DisableCloseButton(WinExist())
WinMinimize
DisableCloseButton(hWnd) {
hSysMenu:=DllCall("GetSystemMenu","Int",hWnd,"Int",FALSE)
nCnt:=DllCall("GetMenuItemCount","Int",hSysMenu)
DllCall("RemoveMenu","Int",hSysMenu,"UInt",nCnt-1,"Uint","0x400")
DllCall("RemoveMenu","Int",hSysMenu,"UInt",nCnt-2,"Uint","0x400")
DllCall("DrawMenuBar","Int",hWnd)
} |
...however, I'd like to not have to flash the window open just to get its handle. Any thoughts? |
