Re: Simple GUI seems to cause GDI handle leak Topic is solved
The problem is caused by Stardock Window Blinds. When Window Blinds is enabled and a skin is selected (I tested two), then this autohotkey program shows the handle count increase I asked about. When the default skin -- i.e. no skin -- is selected in Window Blinds, then the handle count does not incr...

Re: Simple GUI seems to cause GDI handle leak Topic is solved
Unfortunately absolutely reproducible for me with V1.1.36.02 U64 with 21H2 19044.2486 X64. [EDIT] Spoke too soon. Not reproducible using a different user account on this system. So something on my regular account is affecting this. I'll track it down and post later. At the moment, then, the problem ...

Re: Ideas on why SendMessage would FAIL and how to troubleshoot it
Is it possible that the running big-script program has more than one window? The title operand ank_pid will retrieve a window for that PID, but is it the right one? Are all windows able to receive messages? I don't know the answer to this kind of question (being a windows hacker more than a windows ...

Simple GUI seems to cause GDI handle leak Topic is solved
Here is a small sample program (winnowed down from a real program) that apparently leaks a GDI handle every time a GUI is created. Fire it up, type "a" to create a gui, type "s" to destroy the gui, and repeat: each time one more GDI handle is shown as being used by the executable. a:: Gui, New, +Hwn...

How to access string added with AHK2EXE AddResource directive Topic is solved
The AHK2EXE compiler directive AddResource allows a file to be incorporated into a compiled module. I want to put a small text file into the module and then access the text using code within the module. I've tried things like ;Ahk2Exe-AddResource *6 TestTextFile.txt, 33 which should add resource ite...

Re: AutoHotInterception (AHI): Multi-Keyboard / Multi-Mouse support for AHK. Per-device blocking!
Way back on page 9 a problem with mice locking up was mentioned. I will have to investigate the lockups on sleep issue, can't say that I have ever seen anything strange in that regard. It is thought to be caused by repeated plugging of devices and a 10-device limit in the underlying interception dll...

Hotkey stops firing after another hotkey is executed
The code below is winnowed and simplified from a large program that does not work on recent releases of AHK. The large program works on V1.33.02 but not on more recent releases. This winnowed sample does not work on either the old or the new version. The program contains a hotkey !+I that overloads ...

Re: Hotkeys stop firing after a while
The program has over 2400 hotkeys, roughly 80 #IFs, and 14500 non-comment lines, developed over more than a decade, and works perfectly with the old version. I'de been shortening it for a week or so and was down to 1100 or so hotkeys before asking here. And this is of course the obvious approach, ho...

Re: Systemwide Scroll by panning
What a nice idea. My trouble is that my MX Revolution mouse (the best ever made) (I have two working and four spare for parts) is out of hotkeys, and the buttons on the mouse are overloaded with functions that vary by context. But I am going to adapt, and steal LeftButtonDown + RightButtonDown to de...

Re: Upcoming Ahk2Exe Changes (2019)
The compiler leaves behind a scratch file in the user temp directory. The file name is of the form "~temp82727923.tmp" with the number changing on each compile. This scratch file is actually the compiled program -- it is identical to the compiled program created in the directory with the source. Sin...

Re: Test build - InputHook, long paths, switch-case
Switch is very nice addition, and I too would welcome it in V1 (so that I could go back to using a regular rather than a test version of AutoHotkey).

Is there a good chance that the switch-case statement will make it into the main line release? Maybe even soon?

Re: what are some ahk programming mistakes that tend to 'fail silently' with no warning and took you a long time to catc
Number one error for me, time after time, and very hard to find (time after time): writing a plain equals sign (not a colon-equals) for assignment. Too many other languages in my mental baggage use the equals for assignment and the habit (maybe even muscle-memory habit) is very hard to break.

Re: alphabet icons
These icons are truly gorgeous. If you are able to make them easily, I have a small request. I'd really like to have the letter "Q" icon in the same style as the letter "O" icon, with the body size similar and not squeezed to make room for the tail. As it stands, the Q is distinctly different from a...

Re: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 pen barrel button customization
Can this script be used to reverse the actions between the top button and the side button? I suspect not. The top button is actually translated by driver software into F20 and F21 for single and double clicks (see the second post above, with the link given by lblb), and so it is trivial to do whate...

Ah, me, dumbness dumbness everywhere . . . . I use a home-brew precompiler for AutoHotkey (it helps me to do various things more naturally for me). One thing it does is allow an asterisk to be used as a comment marker (like the semicolon in AutoHotkey) unless overridden for a specific line. The prec...
