Thanks

Anyone else finding this with Google (other search engines seem unaffected), or is it just me?

Search term: "autohotkey some query or other" - returns results from sources like Reddit and Stack Overflow etc, but nothing from autohotkey.com.

The & operator creates a VarRef , which is a value representing a reference to a variable (See documentation page). In v1 the same operator passes the address of clrDIBSECTION 's contents in memory. If clrDIBSECTION is a variable containing the address (I can't tell until you show more code), just ...

Thanks iPhilip , after getting over that hurdle and after converting the HiconToFile function to v2, I get "Expected a Number but got a VarRef" at File.RawWrite(&clrDIBSECTION + szBITMAP, szBITMAPINFOHEADER) . Edit: The error was rectified by changing File.RawWrite(&clrDIBSECTION + szBITMAP, szBITMA...

Hi, I've been using teadrinker 's code (15 Aug 2021, 01:57 above) in v1 script for a couple of years now, and while I've successfully converted the bulk of my script to v2, I'm stuck with trying to convert the functions of the Png2Icon converter. Running the HIconFromHBitmap function through the AHK...

Right, understood, thank you mikey.

Hi mikey,

Ok, before I go dumping 2,570 messy and unoptimised lines of code and asking for help with conversion, could you explain where I've gone wrong in my attempt to name the Gui in the above example?

fade2gray

Just to wrap this up, it did turn out to be some kind of timing issue, not so much with the hotkey but some kind of lag with the rest of the associated code - I had to abandon it in my use case.

I'm having a tough time trying to convert a not so simple v1 Gui to v2, so I thought I'd go back to basics and compare a v1 documentation example with the same in the v2 documentation. In the v2 #4 example , MyGui is used as the name. I tried doing the same with the v1 #4 example , but the OK button...

kunkel321 Using VSCode I found no difference in using 'UTF-8' or 'UTF-8 with BOM' when pasting the hotkeys and saving the script, both encodings displayed the characters properly, but the editor window receiving the hotkey output had to be encoded as 'UTF-8 with BOM' or the accents wouldn't be disp...

"UTF-8" (which means UTF-8 with BOM)

Are you saying that encoding with UTF-8 uses 'with BOM' by default - is that implied by your editor? I use VSCode and the encoding options, amongst others, are 'UTF-8' or 'UTF-8 with BOM'

fade2gray

Can't say I've ever encountered the issue outlined in the first link, all scripts I have created using the context menu pre v2 were always encoded UTF-8 (no BOM) - enough to say that most of my scripts are pretty simplistic. I'm happy to leave it that way as a 'safety net' for any future v1 scripts ...

fade2gray

I notice that when creating a new script using explorer's context menu, whether empty, legacy (v1) or v2, all are created with UTF-8 with BOM encoding.

Is this now preferred for both v1 and v2?

Excellent tool, reminiscent of SKAN's HandyTM. This is my attempt to port FanaticGuru 's code, and I think I've manage to replicate the same functionality of the original. Of course, I had to incorporate much of both franklin_clinton 's and Jasonosaj 's code. 👍 Edit: I discovered an oversight in fra...

Well, I don't understand what's going on. I am using CoordMode, Mouse, Window , and as I said previously, If I use the mouse to manually click on the desired cell (at X700,Y700), the correct action is performed. If I use the hotkey, Click visually moves the mouse to the correct cell and clicks it, b...

fade2gray

Thanks Mikey, but I don't think it has anything to do with the CoordMode. If I position the mouse over the cell I want to click prior to using the hotkey, it sends the correct key sequence. If I position the mouse several cells above the one I want to be clicked, again, it will send the correct sequ...

Scenario: Several onscreen positions have the same Y coordinate, the X coordinates are separated at 35px intervals, e.g. a row of ten 35px/35px squares. Clicking on a relevant XY position will send a sequence of keystrokes. The code I have works fine as long as I click on the coords manually, but if...

It suggested installing AutoHotkey to help solve a problem - and then lied to me.

Thanks for the feedback swagfag . I came up with a compromise, by superimposing the checkboxes over progress bars, with the progress bars initially set at 0%, then set to 100% when the button is clicked. gui2.png Gui, Add, Tab3, w200, One|Two Gui, Tab, 1 Gui, add, Text,, Some stuff here Gui, Tab, 2 ...

I'm guessing you'd need to determine the double click speed setting somehow.
