Re: CheckColor / WaitColor - Color names of HEX color

No conversion is necessary because they are the same number . As I said, it's stored as an integer, and hex is just one way of representing it. You're seeing the decimal representation, but it equals the same as the hexadecimal representation. And it's neither hex nor decimal internally -- it's just...

Re: Running And Searching Excel as a Background App

You should post v1 code that you says works as you want so we're not guessing at what you're trying to replicate. If you're not already, you should look into using a COM object approach.

Re: Open a pdf file in Chrome New tab

Notice the difference between the two MsgBox displays and why, and look at the difference between mikeyww's code and what the error message shows for your code.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
item := 'c'
MsgBox 'chrome.exe' item
MsgBox 'chrome.exe ' item

Yes. AHK v2 doesn't have less capability than v1.

Re: Help with dual boxing script...

You posted this in the v2 section, but your code is v1 (with one exception), so it was moved there. You don’t put quotes around the parameters in CoordMode in v1. Without fixing that, it uses the default CoordMode of Window, so you need to fix that before considering what else might be wrong.

If the reason for doing so is that you don’t want the beep at all, it’s better to remove the line altogether.

Re: CheckColor / WaitColor - Color names of HEX color

It could mean that it is officially the active window in the eyes of the OS, but it has not finished drawing the window by the time you are checking the color, so a little delay is necessary. I would expect that a delay of much shorter than 1000 should be adequate. More like 100.

if AHK would ever become not free to use It will always be free.

Re: pre-install question

Typically, yes, that can be done, depending on the target software. In any case, AHK is usually going to be the easiest way to accomplish that kind of script because it's built to interface with an application's windows.

Re: Script does not working for reset

You haven't implemented any logic that would have it step through the notices. No where are you assigning true to either first_notice or second_notice , so your first two if conditions will always be false. It would seem easier, btw, to just have one variable like notice_level that you would just as...

Re: CheckColor / WaitColor - Color names of HEX color

The HEX values have been converted to decimal numbers (which was a surprise) Does it always happen? Is it easy to know if a variable contains a HEX number? A variable doesn't contain a hex or decimal number. Those are just different number systems for displaying integers (i.e., it's the same number...
