Hi @just me.

Is it possible to change the offset where the tooltip appears? I would like it to appear 100pixels to the right of the mouse cursor. Is that possible?

Seven0528 . Thanks for the input, but a workaround like this is not doable in my case. When the window pops up, the user is usually doing stuff in another and might be dragging stuff around. I can't overlay something... It would be nice, actually, if i could control where the window appears AND pre...

Hi xMaxrayx . I use Autohotkey because it is opensource and has this incredible forum and discord channels. But by far the most important reason is that it can be used standalone/portable on any computer where you do not have administator privileges and you can't install any software without going t...

Descolada , iPhilip , kunkel321 , mikeyww Thanks for your input. I tried your suggestions, but still a flicker of the appearing window in the original spot remains... maybe because the window does not contain much and is ready very quickly... I really appreciate your suggestions though. Thanks alot.

Hi there. I am trying to automate a software, and I would like to change the location where windows of that software appear - before they appear. I have the following code, but it only moves the window AFTER it has appeared, which is annoying to the users, because the window is visible for a split s...

@just me Hmm, not so easy (for me)... I see your SetSubItemImage function, but how would I be able to load a picture in it? and set it's height?

@just me Thanks for your quick reply. Good idea, i'll try that

Hi @just me.

Is it possible, with ListView, to show items that span multiple lines? What I mean is: if the value of a cell is a String with newline characters, can I have the LV expand the cell downwards to show the whole string?

Thanks Spitzi

Yes! Works fine now, @Descolada. Thanks. VERY usefull.

Hi Descolada Does the winTitle parameter only support the windows title but not the hwnd? It seems like it: WinEvent.Active(UpdateDisplayedData, "Hanging-Manager") WinEvent.Active(UpdateDisplayedData2, HM_Gui.Hwnd) UpdateDisplayedData(*) { ToolTip("Activated1", 10,10) } UpdateDisplayedData2(*) { Too...

@Descolada This is great!! Very intuitive usage!! Love it.

@boiler. Thank you for pointing that out to me. Exactly what I needed and so much more.

My solution so far is with a Timer: SetTimer(CheckActiveState, 500) CheckActiveState() { static wasActive := false if WinActive("Hanging-Manager") { if !wasActive { ToolTip("Activated") wasActive := true } } else { if wasActive { ToolTip("Deactivated") wasActive := false } } } Is there an easyer way...

One more thing geek : When a gui containing a richCode control is destroyed, it seems like the Messages don't unregister propertly , and when the next key or rightMouseButton is pressed, this code part throws an error if (hWnd != this._control.hWnd) return I really didn't know how to fix this proper...

geek Love your RichCode!! I succeded at getting the context menu to work (see first post). But now I am stuck: I would like to register an event to the richtext control, e.g. "Change", like this anEditorGui.Add("Text", "y+40 vscriptText" , "A script:") rc := RichCode(anEditorGui, RC_Settings, "xm y...

Descolada This is probalby easy for you: I have an application with a qt-container with image elements in it. When scrolling up/down while holding down the alt-key, these elements increase or decrease in size. I would like to automate that, but it does not work. Here's what I used: tokenContainerEl...

Hi @just me.

Did you ever update the code to AHK2?

Hi there.

Is there an easy way to change the color of the border of a groupbox control?
I can change the color of the box text, but not the border itself.

Thanks in advance Spitzi

Thank you Noitalommi_2 and mikeyww . Both approaches work quite nicely In the end I went with the GetPos-Solution and created a function to calculate the bounding rect around some controls. Maybe it helps out somebody else: ; determines the bounding rectangle of controls on a gui ; - aGui: the gui w...

Hi there.

When creating a gui, Is there an easy way to have groupbox adapt it's size to the controls that are in it?
