Assuming you're referring to AHK, check out the #warn directive.

The point is that the other forum categories don't seem to get spam, only 'offtopic'.

Either the spammers are being courteous and only spamming 'offtopic', or there is a loophole relating solely to 'offtopic' allowing the spammers through there, but not in the other categories.

How come spammers are allowed to post in the 'offtopic' part of the forum?
I've seen several spam posts today, and also some in the past.
Are the anti-spam measures not working in 'offtopic'?

Many thanks

I see that the misleading code example on autohotkey.com front page has made a comeback!
Could someone change the comment characters back to ; please?

When IfEqual has a forced expression which includes a comma, and the action is on the same line, the IfEqual statement gives an incorrect result.

Code: Select all

x:=2
IfEqual x, % proc(2), MsgBox True1
IfEqual x, % proc(2,1), MsgBox True2
MsgBox End

proc(a,b=0)
{ return a
}

@haichen - Sorry for the confusing definition. I was writing from (hazy) memory in my first post.

@dd900 - As said before, this method will only work if your scripts are running on an NTFS file system.

I guess what I'm commenting on is 'alternate data streams'. There are utilities for showing ADS file names on your drives. I use 'ADS spy'. This URL explains the concept in more detail:

Be aware that streams are part of the NTFS file system on Windows. Streams are not available in FAT type file systems like FAT32. A stream is separate hidden file, rather than 'data behind the EOF of a file'. Windows uses streams for its own purposes, such as to mark a file downloaded from the Inter...

just me wrote:%y% isn't a variable, it's a reference.

Yes, that is probably causing the unexpected result.

See help, scripts, variables and expressions, expression operators table , Comma (multi-statement) [v1.0.46+]. Commas may be used to write multiple sub-expressions on a single line. This is most commonly used to group together multiple assignments or function calls. For example: x:=1, y+=2, ++index,...

TAC109

Code: Select all

y:="ur"
ur:=2, ur=mod(++ur,3)     ; Works; ur=0
MsgBox %ur%
ur:=2, %y%=mod(++%y%,3)   ; Error; ur=3?
MsgBox %ur%
ur:=2, %y%:=mod(++%y%,3)  ; Works; ur=0
MsgBox %ur%

The failing code uses valid, allowable syntax.

The autohotkey.com front page example strikes again!

FYI I also read and post to this forum on my iPad using Safari. However my session stays logged in more or less indefinitely.

I see that another side effect of this approach is that the menu items are not selectable by keyboard.

Thanks again for all your efforts.

I've been giving your AHK code a good work out and found a couple of problems:- If the script is started by double clicking in a file explorer window (then caps lock is pressed to show the menu), if the first click on a menu item is a right-click it is sometimes not actioned. (When the script is sta...

Looking good!

Thanks for all your help with this, MJs (and Garry).

(I'm surprised that the ability to detect a right-click on a free-standing menu item is not built in to the AHK language. It seems a fairly basic requirement.)

After you have updated to the latest patch state, see the following sites for how to stay even more up-to-date with XP patches. http://www.ghacks.net/2014/05/24/get-security-updates-windows-xp-april-2019/ http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3379296/Re:_Windows_XP_Update_trick ...

TAC109

Ok...
I've had a look at the items you referenced, but I'm no wiser as to how to get this to work. (I'm a relative beginner regarding AHK and Windows programming.) Any further ideas?
