Maybe the safest way is to get active window's position+size in a RECT using GetWindowRect() and then call MonitorFromRect() . That's because contrary to what is suggested above the latter "retrieves a handle to the display monitor that has the largest area of intersection with a specified rectangl...

Hah, that's so funny, I was looking at this thread yesterday because I needed the function. Hi all, Can anyone help me convert the code from the first post in this thread so that it determines which monitor the active window is on? The code currently determines which monitor the mouse cursor is on. ...

For some reason what you just said works. But now I'm just more confused. Why does LShift:: do something different than Shift:: ? Is there some explanation on the AHK website, or can you give one? I do still want to capitalize letters, but that part of my script I got working already. Anyway thanks...

Maestr0

All the ~ prefix does, is

when the hotkey fires, its key's native function will not be blocked

, so that's not what you are looking for.

Code: Select all

LShift::return

should completely disable the shift-key, but your current description is completely different, you don't want to do capitalization anymore?

Maestr0

This doesn't seem to do anything. For some reason, I can't make it so that the shift key won't capitalize letters if I'm holding it down, even regardless of the tilde (~). Does anyone have another solution? However, I need to have the tilde (~) before shift::, because I found out that the script on...

try this:

Code: Select all

Shift::
	toggle := !toggle
	if toggle
		settimer, timer_shift
	else
		settimer, timer_shift, off
return

timer_shift:
	Send, {Shift up}
return

... Thank you for the help and for the explanation of the code! This works well. The only thing not working for me is the reset every 3 seconds but i think i can do the rest myself. You're welcome!

How does it keep getting interfered with?
the amount of the Alt f4 to exit the program is random depending on which screen is the software on.

ah, you need an IfWinExist / WinActivate before sending the ALT-F4, I think

Okay, I got it.
The Problem was this part before the loop:
Code: Select all
+a::
ExitApp
Return
My "kill switch"

I put it after the loop and now the date is written.
Fantastic! Thanks for your patience

no worries, glad you found the issue!

Thanks Maestr0, my code is working (at least the calculation after I put it into brackets). Only the date isn't appearing. To clarify: in the MsgBox it is, but not in the Send. I need the Send command in my code because I want to replace some highlighted text. Any ideas why the date is left out? Th...

@Maestr0 I have thoroughly tested my code again. No malfunction whatsoever! Where/when do you experience a malfunction? I did not get an error, it just didn't show me the numbers. Now that I tested it again, it worked. Ah, I remember now what I did, I made a msgbox instead of a tooltip, and I must ...

Thanks a lot to all of you.
@Rohwedder
unfortunately your line of code doesn't work for me.

I'd tested my code, and all of them worked for me.

AHK was working fine when it suddenly stopped working. Clicking on the script.ahk started opening the notepad edit window instead of running the script. I have uninstalled and re-installed AHK twice, and then installed an earlier version, all to no avail. I have copied my script into a new .ahk fil...

Maestr0

As for what you did wrong in the code, you put #persistent between the loop and the first { which effectively broke that part. Not quite, this actually loops the { } -block (or the next relevant line): Loop #Persistent { msgbox } Sure, it's not nice and perhaps a bit misleading, but since #persiste...

Unless you use IE (urkh) your script can't read what's on a page. I'm pretty sure that's a security thing. That's not true anymore nowadays - you can do a number of things to automate other browsers (even headless): Chrome.ahk for Chrome, Opera, the new Edge; there is also Selenium , Acc.ahk , ... ...

Or this:

Code: Select all

Run "C:\Program Files\VideoLan\Vlc\Vlc.exe" test.mp3, %A_ScriptDir%

Or this:

Code: Select all

SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%

Run "C:\Program Files\VideoLan\Vlc\Vlc.exe" test.mp3

But I'd use a full path like teadrinker suggested, myself.

Is it possible to make the script so that when you press the button (which is assigned to launch the script), the script is being executed, but when you release the button the script stops? When the script is executed it then reads if 'a' is being pressed it should output 'b' (for ex.). If the scri...
