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...

Peter2

Incredible speed of solution!

Thanks to both

I have a (maybe stupid) mistake in my code-structure. The simple idea is - show a GUI-dialogue - press a button - GUI disappears, something is done - GUI should be displayed again -->> And here I get the message that a variable cannot be defined twice ... What's wrong? Here is the structure of the c...

Peter2

Solved, thanks.

But nevertheless - although the variables are used: never forget to quote them (for existing blanks and that stuff)

RunWait %ComSpec% /c "%ProgName%" "%Config%" >> "%ResultFile%"

Peter2

Thanks @Albireo
I will test it tomorrow.

This EXE has to be started from command-line, because I don't know another way to pass the parameters. My first way was to create BAT-files, but this will be unhandy to maintain and to use: a lot of batches where only a few letters are different. This is why I made a GUI which checkboxes where I can...

Peter2

have a command call, at the moment called via a BAT / CMD file. It starts an EXE with a (long) parameter and writes the output to a log-file (>> command). It looks like this "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2018\Map\bin\IMBatch.exe" ConfigFile= x:\my test\data\1-klick_wartung_vlwa.xml >> results_v...

Peter2

No ideas? Maybe I described it more complicated then it is ....

WinActive should check all ahk_classes which begin with a defined string and ends with unknown strings, like ...

my.program.12
my.program.hey
my.program.23x-8
my.program.abc123.89.d

Peter2

OK, thanks to joedf and joevinograd.

Peter2

(I suppose the answer will be a half-liner ..) --------------- I want to start a script only when some special windows are active - so I think "WinActive" is the right was. All windows are different, but similar. The ahk_class begins always with "WindowsForms10.Window.8.app........" - see attachment...

Peter2

For me as beginner I'm confused about the current state of the AHK2exe. To compile it in one sentence:

When I want to use the directives which are described in the first posting - which version should I use?
And will there be disadvantages for my (really simple) scripts?
