Re: [Class] WinHook

Also, it could be something with how you are opening the calculator. From the event log, it looks like it is opening, closing, and opening again when you open it. I would just open it manually without a hotkey to test it.
I will try that.

Thank you for your reply. :)

Re: Errors in Shell messages on windows creations and destructions

Maybe this has something to do with Calc using UWP?

Any help?
I am pretty desperate here.

Re: What is the difference between Try/Catch and OnError()? When to use one or the other?

Hi boiler,

That's a good point, thank you.

But let's say I put the whole code of my function in a huge Try/Catch.
What would be the difference with using OnError() then?

What is the difference between Try/Catch and OnError()? When to use one or the other?

Hi friends, I am currently writing a script that reads and writes files. I would like to handle the possible I/O errors, but the doc isn't clear to me regarding wether I should use Try/Catch or OnError() . And more generally, what is the difference between the two? And when to use one or the other ?...

Re: SendInput does not trigger my hotstring

I believe wou, no worries.

I just tested it again:
I type "bty" (not "btw"), and I get "btw" (not "by the way").

Very strange.

Of course I don't have any other script, or keylogger or hook of any sort running.

I am on Windows 10 Family, and use AHK 1.1.31.00.

Does any one has an explanation?

Re: SendInput does not trigger my hotstring

Hi boiler, Yes, my second piece of code is a different script. I changed the Send/SendInput w to Send/SendInput y on purpose. And yes, the loop is expected. I explained all this in my previous post.

Re: SendInput does not trigger my hotstring

Hi boiler, Thank you for your answer. I find it really strange that you do not manage to reproduce this issue. I restarted my computer, just in case, and I still have the same problem. Are you sure you typed "bty" (and not "btw")? I understand what you mean when you say that "Speed and reliability d...

SendInput does not trigger my hotstring

Hi, :) The following script works fine: "bty" is correctly replaced with "by the way". However, it doesn't work anymore if I use SendInput w instead of Send w . But I would like to use SendInput! (Since the documentation states that it is faster and more reliable.) Why is it not working? #InstallKey...

Yes. This work. Thank you!

As for the other part of my question
"Is there a way to change the logical state of a key WITHOUT having the native function of the event fired?"
