Re: Alert if webpage is down, but website requires login

Actually, sending an email out is another step to accomplish after you get the login and monitoring part done. What email client do you use? Microsoft Outlook?

Re: Alert if webpage is down, but website requires login

Oh, I see. I thought you were going to leave this app running so it could constantly monitor it, but you want it to check the page once, then exit. And you have a way to run this script periodically automatically, rather than leave it running and have it check periodically on its own. Is that correc...

Re: Alert if webpage is down, but website requires login

OK. So someone will log in manually, correct? Then will that person also click the link to get to the application page, or do you want the script to do that? Or can the script just go directly to that page via URL after someone logs in? That would be best. With that method, it will open a new browse...

By the way, this thread should be in the Ask for Help forum. Maybe a mod can move it.

Re: Alert if webpage is down, but website requires login

OK. The best way to do it is to create an Internet Explorer COM object. It's not the easiest thing if you're totally new to it, but it's not impossible by any means. Here are some links and sort of a starter template for your code based on info in those threads. Without details about the website, wh...

Re: Upcoming Ahk2Exe changes

I just thought I'd mention this since it's a minor change I like to implement myself and maybe others would too (including perhaps the official version). Since almost every time I compile a file, I'm naming it to the same thing and placing it in the same directory as the source code (with an .exe ex...

Re: Alert if webpage is down, but website requires login

Are you using (or are willing to use) Internet Explorer? There's a direct way of doing these kinds of things with IE, and other ways if you are using Chrome or something.

Re: Press key combination

So you make excuses (He didn't explain why he wanted it! He could have googled it!) rather than admitting you didn't understand the question, and you failed to listen when he tried telling you that you didn't understand. He shouldn't need to explain the purpose. He had a legitimate question about se...

Re: Press key combination

Yeah, I can't believe all the condescending responses people are giving DavidP (basically saying "read the manual, stupid") when they haven't been able to produce evidence that they can find it either. He is looking to be able to send two keys in combination, and NOT modifier keys like Shift, Contro...

Re: Press key combination

I think the example of LControl and LWin has confused the issue.

I believe this states the problem correctly: If a user presses the a key, how can I send the b key while simultaneously holding down the c key? (i.e., not b then c)

Re: GDI canvas fade in,out

You should be able to change the transparency of your layered window by calling the following and changing the last parameter (the Alpha channel value) as needed:

UpdateLayeredWindow(hwnd, hdc, x="", y="", w="", h="", Alpha=255)

Re: Windows 8 caption and border dimensions

Thanks. I appreciate the data and suggestion. After using guest3456's suggestion to just make my window without borders and caption, the client area is exactly what I set the window size to be. For some reason I just got it in my head to define a rectangle and rounded corners with WinSet, Region , w...

Re: Windows 8 caption and border dimensions

Thanks. 9,9,29 for me on Windows 8.1 realize it might also depend on display DPI scaling within the control panel. I'm using 125% scaling (120dpi). and i think these settings are also user customizable as well, but i haven't done that. I set Gui -DPIScale in my script, so it should be consistent. Lo...

Windows 8 caption and border dimensions

Can someone with Windows 8 run this script and verify what I think it should say? Based on measuring a Windows 8 screen capture, I think it should be 8, 8, 23. (I get 8, 8, 22 on Windows 7.) I want to use WinSet, Region to leave only the client area visible of my GUI, and I will get the dimensions t...

Well, they can choose any unique indicator they want. I chose <> , but they can choose any character(s) which they are sure not to appear elsewhere.
