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

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...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Ahh. That did the trick.

Many thanks to both of you.

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?

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, Can someone look at the script below and help me understand what I've missed or done wrong? I'm working in PowerPoint and I want to move a selected object by entering the horizontal and vertical positions in the Format Shape box. Prior to running the script, I must input three variables: xPos...

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...

Thanks Xtra,

What a great and clever solution!

That's just what I needed.

Thanks again.

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...

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 all the help.

Interesting reading the follow-up dialogue.

Hello, How do you create a list of the titles of threads you have created or participated in? I know that there are two places which display a user's posts : Username drop-down > User Control Panel > Show your posts Username drop-down > Profile > Search user's posts However, rather than listing ever...

Thanks Joe,

That's a great link. I've never been there before but it looks like it's got a lot of great info.

Hello, What does it mean when something is enclosed in %'s and how do you know when to use them? I was recently looking up something on an unrelated topic in the docs (https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/LoopReadFile.htm) and came across an example script in which A_Index and other built-in var...

Thanks for the great information braunbaer . I love getting solutions which cause me to learn an AHK function I've never used before. I found an example in the docs which combines Loop, read, . . . with Loop, parse, . . . to get one value at a time: F1:: Loop, read, C:\Database Export.txt { Loop, pa...
