Hello, When running a script, is there a way to have ahk save multiple separate values then paste those same values later when the script calls for them? For example, suppose you have a website which stores membership records and each record includes four fields: First Name Last Name DOB Phone Numbe...

Hello, I've got a script in which in one step I want to SendRaw the two literal characters: =" (ie the equal sign and a quotation mark). I am familiar with the command SendRaw and use it all the time. However, my current script includes the following lines: … Click, 1010, 345 Send {Home} SendRaw =" ...

Thanks for the enlightenment. Head scratching was wearing a hole in my scalp. The only thing you should have done more is to begin your latest post with: FYE.*

That's why I said you should use Gui, Submit instead of Gui, Destroy if you're planning on displaying the GUI again.

That's all it needed.

Thanks again boiler.

Argh! I keep thinking I've got this but now I'm having another issue. Pressing a hotkey opens the GUI—just as I want. Then clicking one of the filenames activates the corresponding Excel file and closes the GUI— just as I want. However, after running the thread once, it will not run again until I re...

You can't change the color of text in buttons, at least not through "normal" means. Also, be careful in how you treat parameters in commands. Not keeping them in their proper place is what caused an issue before with your GUI title not appearing. Parameters aren't just a list of items that you can ...

Thanks for the explanations boiler . These latest questions are, I suppose, less important. However, the one big item remaining is to determine how to have the GUI automatically close when I click one of the filenames. Can you post the code to do that? Thanks BNOLI answered that in his post. Gui, S...

Another question: How do you change the font attributes (eg color or bold) of the filenames listed? I tried modifying the existing line: Gui, Font, s14, Tahoma to Gui, Font, cGreen, s14, Tahoma & Gui, Font, s14, Tahoma, cGreen I also tried inserting the example from the docs* to see what that does: ...

To left justify, you can just use the Left option from this simpler list: Controls: Common Styles and Other Options . That makes that line: Gui, Add, Button, xm w600 Left v%ID% gExcelBtn, % Title You actually had two extra commas in your Gui, Show command. One is in w800, h1000 . You don't separate...

I don't know if this relates at all to what you are trying to accomplish but there is a very handy (and free) app called Ditto which remembers everything (including images) you've copied to your clipboard and enables you to later recall and paste any of them. For example, normally if you want to cop...

Hello, I've got some basic GUI questions for which I can't seem to find answers in the GUI docs. The GUI script was created by username: boiler and when run, shows a list of filenames for currently-open Excel (2010) Windows.* Clicking one of the filenames activates the corresponding window. Here is ...

Boiler et al, I'm sorry for neglecting this thread for so long. I really, really appreciate the comments and suggestions of everyone who contributed. The script still needs more work to find a way to get sub-windows (workbooks which share a common Excel instance) included in the list, but just being...

I've got 8 Excel files running right now. I activated one of them; then, while keeping the mouse over it, I captured a screenshot of Window Spy. The result can be seen here: https://imgur.com/oPlJ40R. Thanks. That shows why my version didn't work with Excel 2010. Try this version with the WinTitle ...
