Bizzare. At least I’m getting the data which is key. Thank you all for you input and contributions!

Thanks for that idea. I gave it a try. Although it didn’t work, I did discover something. It seems like the lines show up after making the monitor your main monitor in windows setting. When you switch another monitor to be main it then works. Also keeps the previous monitor made previously into main...

Near Black Screen I wanted to share a code with you all made by other AHK users on an older post thats very useful espically for working late. This scripts blanks out the monitor. Can anyone out there help me make this multi-montor? Alt-X to invoke and ESC to exit ;ALT X to start script ESC to close...

Thank you. Went through all those steps and it started to work until I loaded the program meant for. So it seems to work fine on some applications. Maybe some form of block if a program uses graphics Dll as this script ? At least the data is available for me to work around the cosmetics. The lines d...

Thank you all for the improvement. Appreciate it. I reloaded the script but still dont see any lines being drawn. I have a 4 monitor setup. Thanks Awel20 for picking that up. I do see the measurements so at least I know its working like a champ. Any way to get it to draw lines and get angle as well?

That compass will be a great add on! Unfortunately, I am not getting the compass to draw those lines. It seems to get the measurements. I thought maybe related to the GDIP files? I've created libary folder in my documents and also in the program file where AHK resides. I am using both Gdip_All,ahk a...

Very interesting tool. How do you get the lines to show up on the screen. Ive added GDIP to my folder but does it need to be in a specific library folder in the program files section where AHK program file is? Also, is there a way to keep the lines persist for a time or a way to delete it off the sc...

Great! This code will become my main focus and will use as a framework. Just with the recent modifications has been a great way to learn. I wish I had more time! Dealing with the Covid flux in Florida has sucked up a lot of my free time. I had some vacation time but had to work due to the need. Who ...

Great point. I realize with programming there are many ways to skin a cat and sometimes picking the right option is the real challenge. Let me clarify since the next step will really help me understand how variables are used in ahk and the clipboard. I’m sure there is a more simplistic approach. If ...

Hi Jack, This worked beautifully. I tried to modify the code so that I could get two positions and hopefully get the clipboard to output at the end. This measures 45 x 23 cm. Or this measures 44 x 33 x 22 cm. How would I go about adding more dimensions to make a final sentense. Two would be great bu...

Definitely going maniacal. Your books are the right step and awesome! Thanks for your time!

This worked great. Will mess with the code. Thank you for the start!

Thank you very much. I appreciate you actually giving me the entire code! I will certainly use this tool and adapt to others. I figure I can use the same concept for getting any area of pixel intensity and calibrate that as well. I will try it today. I have been so busy with work and Covid related h...

Hello, I am trying to make a ruler for screen. My current ruler in the native app measures but I have to retype the measurements in a document. Is there a way to make my own ruler and calibrate it with the native ruler and use it to store variable sizes and past them from the clipboard? Any guidance...

Hello Everyone! New to the AHK and amazed I haven't discovered this before. Ready to make a master list of scripts to control Windows for once rather than the other way around. Ive noticed alot of scripts out there dont work. Is there a way to sort what works with windows 10? I found a great script ...

Hello Dr Paul, I hope you are well. I am a Radiologist practicing in Florida and came across your post while gathering info. on how to improve productivity in my very own practice inefficiencies. I was excited to learn about AHK. I am impressed with your knowledge of scripting :bravo: and was wonder...
