Wooohoo! great news evilC. There can be no talk of AutoHotkeyV2 without Tap Hold Manager. Cant wait for it.

Lets say that of the windows that exist on my system, the following is a subset of them: Untitled - Notepad ShareX 15.0 Settings Calculator my blog - Firefox Everything 1.5.0.1363a (x64) and I just so happen to have an array of this list: windowTitles := ["Untitled -Notepad", "ShareX 15.0", "Setting...

I have a window with elements like THIS I am trying to get all of the child elements of a ControlType=ToolBar parent. I have managed to do it with this: UIA := UIA_Interface() ; Initialize UIA interface el := WinExist("Virtual Desktops Switcher") el := UIA.ElementFromHandle(el) el := el.FindFirstBy(...

@just me
I see, well that is a relief. Thanks!

But then I am wondering what are the other executables for? Isnt the "U" in "AutoHotkey64_UIA.exe" for "Unicode"?

I have installed V2, the following executables are now on available: C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey.exe C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey64_UIA.exe C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey32_UIA.exe C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\AutoHotkey.chm C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\v2\Auto...

I am trying to get into postMessage / sendMessage by following the PostMessage / SendMessage Tutorial page. I downloaded the Winspector Spy , using the link provided by the page. I am stuck on step 1 of the tutorial, which says: >1.Open Winspector Spy and a "New Message" window. I just cant find thi...

On windows if you right click a windows caption there is a menu there, with commands such as move , minimize etc and some windows can store their own commands there, so can some utilities, such as actual virtual desktops . The latter stores the following commands in every window: https://i.imgur.com...

That did it, you make it look so easy. Cheers for this!

Well understood. I will get to the bottom of it then. Thank you guys!
Edit: Mikey I will keep your advice on screenshot vs code in mind as well, cheers!

Descolada How do I get all of the child items of a element? https://i.imgur.com/eVOkZJR.png I have a simple window that belongs to a programme that acts as a "window manager" or "virtual desktop manager". The programme is really cool and all but has no support for querying information from it "prog...

mikeyww Yes I tested your script with no changes to it, by running it directly (double click in File explorer) I had to anyways, since the active window was hard coded to be explorer. None of the involved processes were elevated either. >Explorer.exe alone can have multiple matches. You would typic...

Hello, I am trying to implement a single and a double tap of left click while holding right click, following your guide here , I created the following gestures RB__ RB_LB__ RB_LB__LB__ The gestures RB__ and RB_LB__LB__ work as expected but RB_LB__ is giving me a issue I have not been able to solve T...

mikeyww JoeWinograd Thanks for confirming that these functions do indeed work with windows 11. Its good to know its just on my end. Thanks for the alternative solution Joe! I tried it and it looks like I am getting the same issue, the selected file is never found. The console reports that toReturn ...

mikeyww Thanks for that, really appreciate it. Having tried it, I just get an empty message box now. Hmm.. I dont think this approach works with Windows 11 explorer. You have already helped me so much, I think I will adjourn this affair here and ask around for an alternative in a few days. Cheers!

mikeyww Hey thanks for the promop reply, the post you linked to seems to be V2 code. I am on V1 sadly. I followed the link you shared that attributed the code to teadrinker, so I tried his code in his post but I came across the same "catastrophic" error I dont know any V2 and my V1 skillset is not ...

I found this script that is meant to get the current directory open in File explorer and also get the currently selected files full path. The script was shared by MancioDellaVega in the thread Get current explorer window path . The version he shared throws a catastrophic error , svArtist whom was ha...

Amazing! I will have a go at this when I get back to my PC.
I dont know where AutoHotkey would be without you two, thank you for all your efforts!
