Re: AHK v1 v2 ? Which one for a beginner ?
My two cents worth: I have used v1 over several years for my personal projects and automating several work tasks. I don't find the syntax easy to follow. It feels like the language has grown over time, changing syntax ideas along the way, while trying to keep backward compatibility. I love the langu...

Re: Pomodoro
Folks, I've been playing with AhkEz and modified my Pomodoro program to use the AhkEz functions instead of the standard Autohotkey commands. I found the process easy to do and quite fun, the point where I changed my script to add additional functionality. Firstly I have uploaded two files: 1. Pomodo...

Re: Introducing AHKEZ
Thanks Tac109 - that solved it - greatly appreciated. I had an older copy in my autohotkey\lib directory. I have mucked about with a large number of languages and have never really been comfortable with many. Autohotkey, although obviously extremely powerful in the Windows world has peculiar syntax ...

Re: Introducing AHKEZ
Hi - This is awesome. Thank you for developing such a useful tool. I have rewritten a small ahk script using ahkez and found it easy to do and fun! I do have an issue with compiling though. A one line ahk file containing Msgbox, "Hello World" compiles successfully. Preceding it with #include <ahkez>...

Pomodoro
The Pomodoro method suggests you should work on a task for 25 minutes then take a 5 minute break. I've written a simple timer that counts up the minutes and seconds and changes to a red font once the 25 minute mark has been reached. Pressing the Start button starts the counting up. Pressing the Rese...

Re: launch program in specific virtual desktop
To create a new virtual windows :
send #^d
to move between virtual windows:
send #^{right}
send #^{left}
I use these combinations to create a new virtual window then open AutoGUi and the help file or my notepad so I have development environment ready.
Hope this helps.

Re: AutoGUI - Script Editor, GUI Designer, Debugger and Tools
Comment out the lines below in autogui.ahk by putting them inside /* */
If (A_ScreenDPI != 96) {
Gui Auto: +OwnDialogs
MsgBox 0x30, Warning, %g_AppName% has not been adapted to High-DPI display scaling.`n`nThe program will exit.
ExitApp
}

Re: Feedback from writing a short app
Hi YoucefHam - Thanks for your response. My code certainly works but yours is more elegant using an ini file instead of a standard text file. The point I was making was that ahk is a great language but has some issues. I wanted to know if it V2 cleared up the issues I raised or if I should look else...

Feedback from writing a short app
I'm not sure if this is the correct board to submit this to but here goes. I wrote a short app to test: 1. using functions to control guis; 2. swapping between multiple guis; 3. saving responses to a file; 4. reading and displaying responses from a file. #SingleInstance, Force Global h11Text, h12Tex...

Odd variable behaviour in a multi window GUI
I'm testing the way multi windows work and looking at using functions where possible. I have an issue with one of my variables, my22Text - Gui 2 Edit box 2. In my tests my21Text edit box shows up in the save function but my22Text does not, despite both edit boxes and variables being set up the same....

Re: Guestbook: say hi, thank you, whatever!
Hi, I spent one weekend looking at AutoIt and a second weekend working through AutoHotKey. I decided to settle on AHK using the AutoGUI IDE - how good is that!. So far I have been having a ball creating hotkeys and learning to program in this deceptively easy yet powerful language. The AHK forum is ...
