The task is to automatically merge Excel documents that are dropped into a specific folder, and place the resulting combined document into a different folder.

Re: [Library] Chrome.ahk - Automate Google Chrome using native AutoHotkey. No Selenium!

For some reason, I cannot seem to use Chrome.GetPageByTitle("page title") . When I try, it always fails to retrieve the page. :( Here is a version of GeekDude's InjectJS.ahk example that I modified to show what I am trying. If I use Chrome.GetPage() instead (as originally written in the example), th...

Re: Possible to modify context menus for applications?

Try this... Run the script, and then right-click inside a Window that normally has a context-menu. There will be a new item. Thank you for that script. It works perfectly in some applications like Windows File Explorer and Notepad. Unfortunately, it does not work in other applications like Microsof...

Re: [Library] Chrome.ahk - Automate Google Chrome using native AutoHotkey. No Selenium!

If you have a chrome instance already running in debug mode, you can skip the initialization of the Chrome class and just call Chrome.GetTab() directly. For example: #Include Chrome.ahk TabInst := Chrome.GetTab() TabInst.Evaluate("alert('hi!');") What is the replacement for this process with v1.1? ...

Re: General Question: Thread, No Timers Topic is solved

This is easy enough to test. Here's some quick code I created to do so... SetTimer, Test1, 1000 Return f12:: Thread, NoTimers Sleep 4000 ; Gives you time to confirm the original timer has stopped triggering. SetTimer, Test2, -1 Sleep 4000 ; Gives you time to confirm the new timer did NOT trigger. Th...

A_TimeIdlePhysical may be the answer you are looking for. Something like this (untested)... #InstallKeybdHook ; Put this line in the Auto-execute section of your script.

Re: [REQUEST] SplashTextOn/Off if script use

Something like this is probably your best option...

Return

SplashToggle:
SplashOn := !SplashOn
If SplashOn

Re: Script sometimes doesn't work

The behavior you are describing is usually the result of problems in the code (such as a missing Return, or a typo somewhere, etcetera). If the code you posted is your entire script, then I see no reason for you to be having this type of trouble - however, since the code you posted does not mention ...
