AutoHotkey Community

By "title" I mean the name that appears in the menu.

I can get the name of the menu with a_thismenu, but I need the text that shows for its title.
In the docs, I cannot find anything like GetMenuItemTitle()

How can I get the title (not the handle) of the menu containing a_thismenuitem?

a_thismenu contains the menu's name, but I need it's title.

The docs say that the ahk2exe doesn't even use autohotkey.exe. I guess that's why you need the 64bit bin file, maybe?

gregster - yes, I saw that in the docs - if I use the 64bit bin file, will the compiler know to create a 64 bit application? That was my hangup, actually.

Thanks, jees and greg It *does* work with the dllcall in 32bit ahk. and it does work without it in 64bit ahk. Does that work for the entire script? Or do I need to call it before each run command? And do I need to re-enable that redirection for the system? Does it affect the entire system or only my...

okay, if I run it with 64 bit autohotkey, *THEN* it runs msconfig with no problem.
aaaaahhhhhggggghhhhh

AutoHotkey 1.1.30.01 Unicode on Windows 7 Pro x64
I'm running 32 bit autohotkey. But that shouldn't matter, should it?

If c:\windows\system32 was not in my PATH, then I couldn't run it from a cmd box; but I can. I just can't seem to do it from ahk.

No, on my Windows7, if I do
I get ahk's can't find file message.
But, like I said, it works in my RUN box.

How can I use autohotkey to run msconfig (for example) without knowing the full path? Windows RUN box can do this, and so can the cmd box, but authotkey's "run" command just gives an error. Is there some autohotkey setting, or am I stuck using a hidden comspec to run commands like msconfig? I've tri...

Thanks, Joe. Yeah, I have that, I was just hoping for something more streamlined. I was hoping for a good console library that would let me simply send commands, manage the window, and fetch text.

How do I use this library to send commands to the console? All it does is print text...

Oh - I already mentioned this above...

Can I use this library to send commands? Or do I need to think of something else?

What is a practical application of this? I mean, why did you make it? I've seen hooks (callbacks, I think are the same thing?) in other languages.

Wow, this is really nice, but it also looks like a lot to digest. I have a gui already, and just want a way to capture a hotkey that uses the win key. This is so I can save a user-selected global hotkey for my app. The default ahk hotkey control doesn't capture the winkey. This library looks like ov...

Ha! I never even knew about this! I'll try it out.

Yes, I was going to do that in the documentation that I'm working on...

Also, you gave me this example earlier in the thread. I changed the labels to numbers, but every button provides a popup saying: "MsgBox, You selected 400" even if I click on the other buttons. Isn't that weird? Maybe I need to restart my computer (Windows 7). #NoEnv #SingleInstance, Force #Include ...

Ah, I removed this humongous post because I solved the problem. I was loading an icon with an empty value, then when I went to delete the icons I didn't want in the toolbar, since it had a value of 0, the class_toolbar deleted them all. Finally found the culprit. Now I know to test for a value befor...

Additional note: you are probably using TF in your new App at donationcoder Wow! You noticed that! Actually, I originally didn't realize that the tf function was for files... but I was trying to use it on text in a variable. (I didn't pay enough attention) I have fixed this, actually, with my own f...
