Thanks for the comments Mike.
By simply adding the word Else to the beginning of the IF lines, I can get the behavior I want (ie if it finds the defined criteria then it executes the corresponding action and the script stops. Otherwise, the script continues.)
Thanks again

Variable results for single hotkey Topic is solved
Hello, How do you construct a script so that a given hotkey will result in variable processes depending on the currently active window? Below is a basic template I wrote for doing the above. It follows the assumption that it will work down looking for an "IF" criteria to be met and when it is, execu...

Re: Compare pixel colors for a series of points in two adjacent images
Thanks Mike. I appreciate the modifications. I'm still working my way through this trying to understand it and I think I will definitely have some follow-up questions but not at present.

Re: Compare pixel colors for a series of points in two adjacent images
Wow. This is great. Thank you very much. Not only does your script give me a solution but it gives me a better understanding of several functions which I've seen before but never quite known exactly how to use. One question I have is if there is a way to put some +/- values in for the definition of ...

Compare pixel colors for a series of points in two adjacent images
Hello, Suppose you have two adjacent images (A & B) on your screen and suppose you want to do a series pixel color comparisons (ie comparing colors of certain pixels on the left with the colors of the corresponding pixels on the right). I know some of the variables and functions to be used, but I'm ...

Re: Proper format for multiple IF statements Topic is solved
Thanks for the heads up.
I usually use indentation quite a bit to help me keep various things straight. So it's mainly for my own purposes. However, I will try to remember your comment so it will not be confusing when pasting code here in the forum.

Re: Proper format for multiple IF statements Topic is solved
Note: I just discovered that the object is being moved to each of the four locations and ends with B. Why is that occurring if the Ref variable is only equal to R?

Re: Proper format for multiple IF statements Topic is solved
Thank you for the comments and the link. I made changes to the script by placing the IF criteria in parentheses and enclosing the blocks in curly brackets. Now there is a response to the script but it always responds as if the reference (Ref) is B — the last option. For example, below is the updated...

Hello, What would cause MouseClickDrag to not work and is there a way to improve its function? I'm using Camtasia video editing software and I've got a number of steps which are repetitive, hence my use of an AutoHotkey script. In one part of the process, I remove a small section of the recording. D...

Stop looping thread without killing script Topic is solved
Hello, Is there a way to stop or interrupt a looping thread without killing the script (ie without closing the .ahk file)? Suppose you have a script which contains several threads (each with its own hotkey), and suppose one of the threads has a Loop, 99 command. Once you press the hotkey to begin ru...

Re: AHK determine if window is Maximized or not Topic is solved
Thanks boiler & Epialis.
Both of your posts were very helpful.
I got just the solution I needed for the current situation plus I have a new function in my AHK bag of tricks.

Hello, Does AutoHotkey have a method for determining if a particular window is Maximized or not? In other words, I want to include an IF command in my script to ask if the window is maximized. For example, suppose you have a script which needs to end with one sequence of commands if the active windo...

Thanks for the great information braunbaer . I love getting solutions which cause me to learn an AHK function I've never used before.
