Gui Progress Bar in Taskbar Topic is solved

I have been using this v1 code to create a progress bar in the taskbar for a Gui. I'm trying to convert it to work with v2, but I don't understand enough of the new commands yet. Can someone help? I've looked at a few libraries on the forum & github, but it was too complex for me to understand and e...

Loop Value Calculation Help

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...

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

static initialization, function auto-execution? Topic is solved

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 ...

Re: CMD Get Text Response

(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.

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
