Here’s a ReEx version that doesn’t use a subpattern, so the match variable is your final variable name of choice (does not use a 1 after it to identify the subpattern): string := "fs14 ZY7 w190 h40 x865 y520 CW50595E CTE1E1E1" RegExMatch(string, "CW\K[0-9A-F]{6}", CW) RegExMatch(string, "CT\K[0-9A-F...

I'm guessing it would have to start with something like: … Right? Yes, but checking only every second seems like it’s overly infrequent, but I don’t play this game — or any games. But I honestly don't know much about coding, I'm not even sure if it is possible to create such a script. Also, the who...

It’s literally one of the first several threads in the “Scripts and Functions (v2)” section of the forum:

I've tried out AutoHotkey Window Spy and when I hovered my mouse cursor over my grayed out icon it came up with the position 1385, 1302 this should be the x and y, axis correct? Generally, yes. You need to pay attention to whether it’s screen, window, or client coordinates and may need to use Coord...

To answer your earlier question, you should be using v2 as it is the actively supported version. But it didn't seem to work, so I'm guessing that searching by pixel color is impossible or maybe very difficult? Searching for a color is straightforward using PixelGetColor . Also, how would I go about ...

AHK is relaying the actual window size and position as reported by Windows. Starting with Win10, when Windows renders a window, there is an invisible border around it. The size and position that it reports includes that border. WinGetPosEX is a function that reports the window size and position with...

If you’re going to produce native AHK code and are looking for help with that, we can move the thread back to the main part of the forum. If so, post some AHK code that you have questions about. Your first post provides no specifics, and your second post is not AHK code.

Yes, v2 is much better than v1. Not only is it the version that will continue to be maintained, it eliminates most of the confusion that made v1 so frustrating for beginners to learn. In general, its syntax and structure are more modern, which results in a much better coding experience.

Since you’re aware of that history, you might have also seen that it’s not an AHK bug (and it’s not an incorrect value in Windows terms). Perhaps WinGetPosEx would be of interest to you, assuming you haven’t run across it already.

You can change the MsgBox to Send or whatever you want to do with the result. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 MyGui := Gui(, "Date") MyGui.AddMonthCal("vMonthCalendar") MyGui.Add("Button", "default", "OK").OnEvent("Click", ProcessUserInput) MyGui.OnEvent("Close", ProcessUserInput) !d::MyGui.Show() Process...

I updated some of the script with controlsends then i realized it's pointless since the window has to be active and i will inevitably activate other windows with my mouse. How did you determine the window has to be active? And if so, no big deal. Just use regular Send. You are making this sound way...

why wrong? Many reasons. First, for the hotkey definition, you don’t use braces around the key names, and if you want to use a modifier symbol, you don’t use & , which is for a custom combination of keys (and if you do use & , you would put spaces around it). So the hotkey for Ctrl + Space is ^Spac...

You must not have looked at the documentation very carefully.

Another possibility: Does your mouse come with software that allows you to map keypress combinations to be sent when you click that button? If so, you should be able to define a hotkey in an AHK script to trigger based on whatever combination you define for that button. Make it some combination of k...

Why can't Hotkey and Send be unified into Symbol+{*}? Because they are used very differently, and having them the same as each other would make it cumbersome for 99+% of the use cases, which clearly is not worth it just to make your particular case easier. Why should we always have to put braces ar...

kimi - I approved this post since it is in "Off-topic Discussion", but I'm not sure why you think a forum dedicated to the AutoHotkey programming language is a good place to get good inputs on this topic. Please note that eventually offering details about your SEO services will not be permitted here.

@DRS - Please post in the v1 section when you are asking for help with v1 code. This thread was moved from where you posted it in the main (v2) section. Thank you.

I googled for so dang long to no avail and you have it fixed minutes after I post. Typically, as in this case, consulting the official AHK documentation is much more efficient and accurate than googling. In this case, you would want to read and understand the syntax for expressions , which will ser...

Why is your script basing things on which window is active if you're using ControlSends? Just cycle through the windows and act on each without activating them. Not sure why you are saying you can't change the design of your script. Change it so it works the way you want.
