thanks @boiler . That's exactly what I was looking for.

We've all seen dialog boxes that include a "DO NOT SHOW THIS AGAIN" check box; or a message that only pops up the first time we run a program, or after a program updates. I'd like to to implement something like this, so the first time my users run my script, they see a "what's new in this version" b...

Descolada Yes, the scaling is the same - I should have mentioned that in the original post. Have you tried a simpler code to test whether FindText can at all "see" your second monitor properly? I'm drawing a blank - how would you recommend I do this? I know that when I used the image capture utilit...

text can you modify it to move along the 2 xy coordinates exactly (the "line" between the coordinates) in for example 40 pixels to right every time? If the line is horizontal or vertical, it's easy: MouseMove, 40, 0,,R will move the mouse 40 pixels to the right (the "R" makes it relative motion) If...

MouseMove does this. For example CoordMode, Mouse, Screen ;get the current cursor position MouseGetPos, startX, startY ;instantly move the cursor from current location to coordinates 100, 100 MouseMove, 100, 100 ; slowly move the cursor 250 pixels to the left MouseMove, 250, 0, 50, R ; slowly move t...

I have a function uses FindText() to search for an image & click on it(see below). The image is a button in a web-based application, running on MS Edge, Windows 10 64bit Like many of us, I have dual-monitor setups, both at home and at work, and the thing I can't figure out is that the function will ...

We're running the same application on the same resolution monitors, but just to test it, I had him screenshot one of the buttons in question & re-created the file that ImageSearch is looking for. It didn't fix the issue. (this was just with the ImageSearch based version, not the findtext based versi...

I have a script that automates some tasks on a web-based application our company uses. It uses ImageSearch to look in a certain part of the screen, and when it finds the button that matches the image, it clicks on it. I have refined it so it works for many of my colleagues, but there's one guy for w...

tried that. Doesn't make a difference. Still throws errorLevel 2

lkb3

What are some of the reasons that ImageSearch might throw errorLevel 2? The help file says: "ErrorLevel is set to ... 2 if there was a problem that prevented the command from conducting the search (such as failure to open the image file or a badly formatted option)." I have a script that was working...

Thank you again, Russ. I believe you are correct: from the Help page on the "Catch" command: There are two kinds of runtime errors: those which normally set ErrorLevel, and those which normally cause the current thread to exit after displaying an error message I've changed the script the way you sug...

lkb3

Follow up question: thanks to Russ, the errorlevel reporting is working the way I want. but what I don't understand is, even though my Catch statement says to sleep for 1/2 second, no time appears to be passing. The error reporting bears this out - If it was truly sleeping 1/2 second between each lo...

Thanks, Russ!

I'm trying to create a loop that uses the ImageSearch command to look for a button. However, the button might not be immediately available when the command runs, but should be in a second or two. So my thought is that I'd put the ImageSearch command inside a loop, and inside a try statement. If the ...

I have this script compiled to exe and assigned to a key on my keyboard. Every time I hit this key without Snip & Sketch active (so the second section of the code), it launches two instances of MS Paint. Any idea why? I dont' think the issue is the AHK code itself, but rather something with the exec...

wow, just saw this from 5 years ago. For what it's worth, I have a script that i have compiled, and i used the MS keyboard manager to assign the .exe file to one of the extra keys (the Web/Home button) on my keyboard. ; L Beidler 21Sep2016 ; designed to be compiled & assigned to a multi-media keyboa...

I have a script that pastes the contents of the clipboard to an MS Paint window. It works great if MS Paint isn't open. however, if there is already a Paint window open, it creates a new window, but the paste operation goes to the old window. Is there a way to tell the WinActivate command that I'm l...

Wow. That's great. Thanks, lexikos. Much simpler & faster now: /* lkb3 24Apr2015 This script uses a ComObj call to access a smartphone's file system, and open a Windows explorer window open to the folder on the phone which contains the most recent photos.

This script will query a smartphone's file system for the folders which contain pictures, find the most recent folder, and launch a windows explorer window. This is useful when directly navigating the picture folders of an iPhone, where the folder names are something like 842HIQIZ, and the time stam...

ha ha, thanks, Kon. i knew this code was cheesy when I wrote it, but it was all I could think of at the time, and didn't have time to work on something better. Thanks for your much-more-elegant solution! for item in camera.Items { if (A_Index == count) lastItem .= item.Name }
