Thank you for pointing out the SWP_NOZORDER flag. I was able to solve my problem by changing the z-order of the child window with the "WinSet Top" - so there's no need to use that "repeated +PARENT call" trick! So I can only assume that adding extra +PARENT option for a WS_CHILD window (a window wit...

Thank you, it solves the problem of "stolen focus". But there's one more related issue. It took me quite some time to figure out where's the problem. My goal is to create a red window border using "WinSet Region" and +PARENT option. The initial problem was that I was able to see the border but the w...

Thank you - this illustrates the question well.

Hi there, Gui option +Parent for a child window automatically activates parent window even if the parent and the child windows were launched as NoActivate . Is there a way for a child window not to activate a parent window automatically? The problem is that as I have a parent window in a background ...

It surely would be nice to round up everything by having someone to agree/disagree on my last comments. I'm just trying to figure out what's happening under the AHK hood.
Anyways, thanks for every reply.

Hi there, it's an old topic, and it's very well explained and documented, but while rewriting it myself I found out that the least clear line is: VarSetCapacity(vData, 54+vSize+1, 0) To be specific, that "+1", which, as I understand is explained by the lines: ;the +1 below is there because we insert...

First of all, thank you for your comments swagfag ! With these dynamic variable references " everyday we stray further from God's light " :D for sure. Your explanation is complex, but very well expressed. Please, correct me if I'm wrong,- I'll try to put it into a couple sentences - in other words: ...

Thank you very much, swagfag , I'm reevaluating my variable scopes now, following your recommendations. But when I change " If (actWndId == hGuiImg%A_Index%) " to " If (actWndId == hGuiImg1 ) " then the script works as expected. After reading your guides I understand that no matter how I name the va...

Thank you for your comments. I guess you are right - there should be parentheses for IF statement in my code, and "++" provides correct result only because of it's backward compatibility property. Only now I understand that I have failed to capture the problem properly... I have tried to minimize an...

Hi there, I would like to ask someone to share some guidelines for differentiating dynamic variable definitions and pseudo-arrays . After many hours of debugging my script I've removed most of the code just to find out a strange situation: depending on variable operation the script either fails or s...

You're right!

thank you boiler - the mystery has been solved

I've finally managed to find out how to move a window, without using a " PostMessage, 0xA1, 2 " trick. The answer is simple... here's the final code: #SingleInstance Force Gui newWnd:New Gui newWnd: -ToolWindow -SysMenu -Caption -Theme -Resize +AlwaysOnTop Gui newWnd: Color, FFFFFF rectCoordStr := %...

Danke dir, Rohwedder

Hi there, I have a simple situation, where I have a hotkey which redefines a hotkey itself, and should relaunch the same hotkey immediately after the redefinition. Is this possible? Here's the code: #SingleInstance Force Thread Interrupt, 0 Gui, Add, Text,, Press F1 button for the message Gui, Show,...

padanges

Thanks boiler for the questions - you got me thinking in a right direction: I have just realized that Hotkey function turns off not only Hotkey function created hotkeys but hotkey labels as well! It seems I have missed that in documentation. So it's obvious why we would see only one MsgBox after mul...

Hi there, I have a simple code, where I want to create a hotkey on a key-press. The problem is that it works (gives confimation with MsgBox) only once - and I can't figure out why it's so. Maybe someone could share his thoughts? #SingleInstance Force Gui, Add, Text,, Release F1 button for message Gu...

The first answer by boiler is of most help in current situation. So I'm marking this topic as Solved and posting a simplified question as another topic.

Thank you boiler

this works for WM_RBUTTONDBLCLK as well.

Hi there, I have this very simple situation where I want to close a window with a mouse right-click. Gui, Add, Text,, Right-click me Gui, Show, w200 h150 OnMessage(0x204, "WM_RBUTTONDOWN") Return WM_RBUTTONDOWN() { Gui Destroy } The problem is that the right click gets sent to the window below after...

Thanks boiler for the idea about the hotkey modifiers and input levels. Here's your code updated, where you can trigger the MsgBox by pressing the F1 key. LButton::MsgBox, Hello #InputLevel 1 F1::Send, {LButton} Esc::ExitApp Now regarding my original question - I'm still convinced that it's all abou...
