What if you create a file by the same name in the same path?
Then it will have something to delete

I had something a bit similar 5 years ago, though not exactly the same. From your video it alternates between a normal view and a black screen. Mine was scrolling rapidly up and down a few lines at a time. This was fincs solution to that problem, and it worked. This is a Scintilla bug, and Neil Hodg...

Is there some type of inter process communication which the DOS based macro can send and the AHK can receive?
Something like SendMessage? OnMessage?

Other ideas: Write to a file? Could the DOS based macro create an ini file which AHK could read?

Bones

What exactly to you want to happen or want to avoid?
Are you trying to make it so every window is at least partially visible, ie no window is completely covered by another window(s)?

(I'm guessing using the window area is a sort-of kluge workaround)

Bones

Something like this is what I was thinking. #NoEnv #SingleInstance force SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% minutes_until_logout_if_inactive := 3 ; just change this number to fit your situation milliseconds_to_sleep := Round(minutes_until_logout_if_inactive * 60000 * .9) While True { If (A_TimeIdle > milli...

Why wait for the annoying window to pop up? I assume there is a period of inactivity which triggers this. If it pops up anyway even when you are actively typing, then ignore this. But you could have a script running in the background which checks every n-1 minutes (where n is the time of inactivity ...

One way could be to add a line to each hotkey you want to track, the line would be a call to a routine. The routine would read an ini file and increment an integer associated with A_ThisHotkey which could also be the Section name. If that Section does not exist it would be created by using IniWrite ...

I couldn't see the main page for a few weeks.
There was the image of the page with a message (Cloudfare) splashed at the top.
https://autohotkey.com/boards and http://autohotkey.com/boards also didn't work.
https://autohotkey.com/docs worked

What about read/write to a RAMdisk?

Well, I just use Scite4AutoHotkey but I voted for all three.

But I don't know how many layers of nesting the Sub-Forums can have.
ie can you have one called "Tools of the Trade" ^ which then has various separate sub-Forums underneath it, one for each Scripting tool?

Bones

Also, just adding the line
Sleep, 1
to Neutrino's original code (after the Send) makes it work.

A low tech partial solution is to just use autocorrect.txt and add to it the common space mistakes you make. So, make a hotstring which converts "wasn' t" to "wasn't" for each common mistake you make. But that would just work for you, and wouldn't be universal. (I forget how you deal with the space ...

Bones

I suppose you could get a dictionary list of the most often typed words; or parse some of your own writings and amass such a list. Then make a huge list of hotstrings of the form :*b0:word::word{A_Space} ; options to not require an ending character and to not do any backspacing where "word" is every...

Hi, I haven't programmed in about 18 months, but before that I did some sizeable (for me) programming projects in AHK. I'm not an expert programmer but I tend to dig through the documentation and keep trying until I get it. I currently have: * AhkVersion 1.1.14.03 * SciTE4AutoHotkey Version 3.0.04.0...

I need to create a VBA script to run in a windows 7 environment Does it absolutely have to be VBA? For example, if it is in Excel, on the Developer tab there is a "record macro" button; also Alt-F11 brings up the VBA editor. I'm not familiar with the AHK macro recorder, but as others have said, mos...

I would like to be able to plot 3D data (x,y,z) in an AHK GUI. The xyz data would be in a multidimensional array, unless there is a better way to do it. I’m not a guru with objects yet. The result might look something like Fig. 5 here near the bottom of the page . That 3D graph by the way was made w...

Did you use SetBatchLines, -1 in the AHK script? It will significantly change the results if you didn't. I had not. But I just did another AHK test and found an improvement in time by a factor of almost 4 when I added the line: SetBatchLines, -1 So from this very minimal testing, it seemed that VBA...

a VBA script versus an equivalent AHK script manipulating Excel via VBA Thanks, sinkfaze, but that's not the case. I should have been more clear. I just made a loop to update the value of a variable. The AHK version (which was not compiled) had nothing to do with Excel, did not manipulate a spreads...

Has anyone already done any benchmarking to compare calculations done in AHK vs Excel VBA? My plan is to take historical mutual fund data, create trading buy/sell strategies and back test them. I started with Excel VBA because I can get historical data free from yahoo finance and download into Excel...
