@Blackholyman As a side note the simpler and more direct way to get the window object you need for iniMouseEvent is just wb.document.parentWindow 90% of my issues with automating IE is with getting the right event sent to the right element to make it do what I want. Also for reference I have only ha...

Thank you! For others wondering the correct syntax is pt := ComObjArray(5, 3) ; VT_R8 = 5 pt[0] := d1 pt[1] := d2 pt[2] := d3 I can't believe I didn't try that. I knew the base value was 64 bit float (ie. double) but I didn't understand that the array code was built in even though it does say that i...

I have successfully automated many parts of autocad 2015 by accessing it's base activex object via acad_handle := ComObjActive("AutoCAD.Application.20") Now I am trying to call acad_handle.ActiveDocument.PickfirstSelectionSet.Select(acSelectionSetCrossing, Point1, Point2) but I keep getting an error...

Hello, Bulk of this is in python and you need python 2.7 installed probably. Then open a command window and install the dependencies... py -m -2 easy_install pyOpenSSL py -m -2 easy_install pycrypto py -m -2 easy_install google-api-python-client Tip- make sure you install the modules to the correct ...

Thanks Lexikos! That doesn't fully makes sense to me as I put my functions at the end of the script too but if it isn't a bug than it doesn't matter. I will just have to watch my code more!

Hi, I have found several times that under certain circumstances if I am missing a } somewhere in my script than it will error out and give me an error that it can't find whatever the first library function I use is. In my case that is always Acc_x function in the Acc library in my lib folder. It thr...

Even if someone would show me how to use run to open a file in an app that would be great! like run, "app_file_name >"file_to_open"" (doesn't work for me) "app" "file" works in a command prompt. Just a stupid syntax thing I can't figure out how to do it in ahk using %comspec%... nm see below for wor...

Hi All, So I am trying to use something like below to select the open with, and an option on the open with menu. open_in_pdf_editor(hWnd=0) { SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx If hWnd || (hWnd := WinExist("ahk_class (?:Cabinet|Explore)WClass")) { For window in ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").Windows doc :=...

Thanks for the tips Lexikos. Our files don't have ~ in it by policy and I don't want temp files because I am publishing released tech unit files to pdf so that wasn't a problem for me. I spent more time formatting our files to be consistent so I didn't have so many different cases to consider and sw...

If anyone could tell me how to get the below function to work in autohotkey that would be awesome! vba example ' Return the bounding box for the line and return the minimum ' and maximum extents of the box in the minExt and maxExt variables. lineObj.GetBoundingBox minExt, maxExt Autohotkey things I ...

Hi All, Here is a list of tips and scripts that due useful things in Autocad. All are tested in Autocad Mechanical 2012. acad_handle:= ComObjActive("AutoCAD.Application.18") ;get a com object handle to an existing Autocad Session In the Autocad VBA help file (super hard to find online I found https:...

Hi! See code below for my first attempt at this: acad_handle:= ComObjActive("AutoCAD.Application.18") ;get a com object handle to an existing Autocad Session active_selection:=acad_handle.ActiveDocument.PickfirstSelectionSet index:=0 object_list:=Object() for object in active_selection { if !(object...

Hi Guys, Happy to see all the responses! For any other user this is a better way to do what I was trying to do. if instr(A_LoopFileName, "~") continue When initially testing my code I found that specifically for the line with the ! I needed the parenthesis (sorry about saying bracket) like below if ...

This is just a few tips on working with a bunch of files. Nothing shocking but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for oline. Here is where I got some code from http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/98371-faster-searching-loop-of-files-in-a-folder/. I implemented the solution of building an i...

Need brackets around instr... thanks tidbit.

I have a little piece of code trying to work around the fact that loop file pattern matches with the 8.3 shortname. if instr(A_LoopFileLongPath, section_number ".doc") { msgbox % "we found " A_LoopFileLongPath " - " string } if !instr(A_LoopFileLongPath, section_number ".doc") { msgbox % A_LoopFileL...

I have had the same experience as you. Much of what it sounds like you are trying to do should be done with native mapkeys in Creo though. I am just learning that you can record mapkeys and modify them as trail files and even do quite a bit of automation that way. I would like to figure out how to g...

An example would be if you go and try to set the width of a cell in a table the default unit is points but potentially if you record that it could be in a percent or something like that. Autohotkey seems to handle units a lot differently than vba which I think causes some confusion (at least I was c...

I used this when I needed to discover how a cell was formatted. It loops through all the cell, paragraph, and font properties/formatting options and styles and records them in excel columns so you can easily compare two formats if you are trying to duplicate an existing format. Note that when trying...
