I'm trying to define pixel coordinates on the x-axis, starting with 0, and advancing by 32 pixels for each iteration of the loop. I do the calculation of 32 * A_Index , however I want the initial value to begin at 0. To achieve this, I'm subtracting 32 each time. Is there a better way to do this, in...

Code: Select all

MyMap := Map()
MyMap[1] := "Something"
MyMap[2] := "Something Else"
...

How about this structure, then you can have a numbered index to use to call the values in order?

just me Thanks! That's good information to know. The code was just a demonstration. I'm actually recreating my sokoban game in v2, but I'm reworking everything to be better this time around. I will be drawing images to the picture control -- not doing a single one-time background color update. :-) ...

teadrinker , That's exactly what I needed! Thank you! I've fully commented the example code below for anyone else that find themselves with a similar question. ; Prevent multiple instances of script from running #SingleInstance Force ; Prevent script from exiting automatically Persistent True ; Loa...

I have some sample code below to help illustrate the problem I am currently facing. I'm using GDI+ to draw to an empty picture control within my Gui. It successfully updates the background color of the image to GREEN, however if I resize the Gui, move it off & on the screen, minimize/restore, etc it...

In v1, I was able to use the code below to automatically execute code inside a function without needed to call it from within the auto-execute section. The code would be executed when the script runs, without first needing to manually call it. Is this functionality removed from v2? Is there still a ...

Edit: Going to use Map(). Seems to do what I need. So, I'm finally trying to learn the v2 syntax by converting one of my v1 scripts. Below is an example of an array, the way I've formatted it in v1: MyArray := [] MyArray[1] := "MyText1" MyArray[2] := "MyText2" MyArray[3] := "MyText3" This code is g...

(BTW thanks for the links to pngquant; works great and reduces the size of .png files by ~80%)

No problem! Been using it to reduce image sizes for my EmulationStation scraped images for my game collection.

There's a few GUI for it. I was going to try making my own GUI though.

I'm trying to capture the text from command prompt (cmd.exe) after executing commands using pngquant .exe (PNG Image Compression). I've tested various functions from the forums, but I can't seem to figure out something... I can easily get the response from the help command pngquant.exe -h However, I...

For some reason, when I start the PC up, the Rubbish.ini file opens in Notepad and display on the desktop. It didn't happen before, only during the last few weeks. The Rubbish.ahk file is in C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (as well as the *.ini file) so ...

I figured out how to set a nickname, but I still don't know how to use the returned data to post a new message. I think I'm too out of my depth on this part... #SingleInstance, Force HttpReq := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") HttpReq.Open("POST", "https://tlk.io/api/participant") HttpReq....

How can I get the font name from a font file? For example, I'm using AddFontResourceEx to load an external font file: DllCall("Gdi32.dll\AddFontResourceEx", "Str", "font.ttf", "UInt", 0x10, "Int", 0) However, I will not know which fonts will be provided by the end user, so I can't hardcode in the fo...

No, this is not for Ahk V2. Could the both of you send me screenshots of all the steps you do after which you encounter this error? You could sent it via imgur in this topic.

1) Save script.
2) Run script.
3) Enter example date (24/09/2022)
4) Click OK
5) Error

I'm adding Picture controls to my Gui, which will overlap each other as layers. I've added a fully transparent PNG image with +BackgroundTrans on top of another image, but the transparent picture is BLACK instead of showing the image behind it. I also tried without +BackgroundTrans , giving the same...

Here's another way. (Requires Internet Connection) #SingleInstance, Force Month := "10" Day := "28" Year := "1955" URL := "https://www.datetime.io/age/" Year "/" Month "/" Day HttpReq := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") HttpReq.Open("GET", URL, true) HttpReq.Send() HttpReq.WaitForResponse(...

I'm attempting to layer Picture controls. First, I add a Picture control with a specific background color, then I add another Picture control containing an image with transparent background -- however the z-order is not what I was expecting and this will not work. I don't understand why I have to ad...

I can't figure out how to make my Gui titlebar dark. The ListLines window is dark as stated, but I don't know how to execute this for my other Gui windows. I see screenshots from the other replies showing dark titlebars. Edit : Nevermind. I had to call it BEFORE Gui, Show . However, you can at least...

What's the current best way to parse JSON data from a file? Would need to read the file, then convert the string to object. Also should run on any version of AHK 1.1 (U32, U64, ANSI). I know several libraries exist, but not sure which is the best at the moment. Prefer something simple and lightweigh...

Maybe using the DllCall would have better results? I'm not sure about v2 compatibility, but below is the code I use in one of my v1 scripts...
