@boiler
thanks.

The reason for "WinWaitClose": Copy & paste from another code without detailed understanding

@Rohwedder
thanks, but no success.

The problem seem to be that the GUI is waiting for input, and this waiting stops the entire software. And I don't see how to make the GUI waiting and the background running ..

I have this structure of code (maybe 70% trash, but it works at the moment).. #SingleInstance Force #NoEnv SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% SetBatchLines -1 Gosub, mainjob return ;; ********** Mainjob *************************** mainjob: mylist := .. create the content of mylist If mylist <> "" Gosub, fe...

OK, so there is no built-in-function.

Thanks for reply!

@just me
thanks a lot. I will integrate it.

Is there a standard feature / behaviour to display the (one and only) GUI of a code on the same position where it was closed?

Peter2

I have a string, consisting of a row of names, like "Jim`nSue`nJohn`nFrank`nSandra`nAbe`nWill" In GUI, I use a "ListBox" with "Sort" option to display it. I get: Abe Frank Jim John Sandra Sue Will For better visibility, I'm thinking about "visual separator", added every time the first character chan...

Ich habe ein Programm, dass mit unwahrscheinlich vielen Dialogen / Formularen gleichzeitig arbeitet - auch am Doppelschirm geht alles unter. In Win 10 erscheinen alle Formulare in der Taskleiste, dem Hauptprogramm untergeordnet, und sind dort anwählbar. Diese "Wähl-Funktion" hätte ich gerne in einer...

Die meisten Hilfeseiten zu Commands und Functions beginnen ja mit einem gelben Infoblock wie z.B. zu MsgBox: MsgBox, Text MsgBox [, Options, Title, Text, Timeout] Gibt es diese Strings auch in einem Paket? Ich möchte in meinem Editor (Ultra Edit) die Autocomplete-Datei damit abfüllen ... Danke Peter

Please add "WinWait(Close)" links / references to GUI
------------------------
Chapter "GUI" does not tell us about the importance of "WinWaitClose". For me it is totally new that a self-created GUI has to be stopped (Waited) after calling ...

Thanks

Thank you!

I want to create an EXE with this behaviour when calling: "myprog.exe" -->> Message appears: "Please use parameters /b or /g ..." "myporg.exe /g" -->> starts the EXE and calls a GUI "myprog.exe /b" -->> starts the EXE and runs without GUi Where I have to start my investigations? Which topic? "Byref"...

(Question on base of 3rd hour on try and error) It seems that the usage of Lisp influences my basic understanding of AHK again and again.. I have a string: teststring = A,B,D,C In Lisp I would use something like if (= (sort teststring) teststring) ..... But in AHK "sort" does not return a value, it ...

You mentioned c:\mylog.txt . Generally Windows does not allow files to be created in the root directory of c: . Try specifying your file in a suitable directory. My fault - I tried to write the example as simple as possible. I modified the posting above. But the (not-)writing of the log is not the ...

Thanks @Helgef

Peter2

For example, I have the string

Code: Select all

red`nblue`ngreen`nred`nblack

The second "red" is a duplicate. Are there exiting functions in AHK to check it?
(Otherwise, an extra loop is not that hard ..)

Peter2

I should check if a string is a path with filename.

Like..

OK:
c:\temp\test.log

Wrong:
c:\temp\test
temp\test.log
c:\\temp\test.log
c:/temp\test.log
c:\temp\test.log txt
... and many others????

Are there some predefined functions in AHK which check (a part) of these possibilities?

Enclose all the DOS commands in another set of double-quotes:-.... Thanks, but it does not work. Without the output-paraneter ">> d:\mylog.txt" it.. - starts the cmd-window - sets the color - starts the exe with the params - it runs approx. 20 sec and brings some progress-messages to the window - i...

I have something like this to call my defined EXE with defined parameters in a loop RunWait, %ComSpec% /c color 16 && echo my job is running.... && "%main_exedatei%" "%Config%" Works fine, and waits(!!) fine with the next loop. But when I add an output -option like this RunWait, %ComSpec% /c color 1...

Incredible speed of solution!
