I have always been confused by that statement as well ("the Acc method you use in the first example is mostly useful when Excel is in edit mode")--thanks for clarification. Also thanks for posting that last code snippet autocart, hadn't seen that before (or hadn't tried to look at the difference ret...

And on the previous note about Microsoft transitioning to PowerShell, looks like they just ditched the traditional command prompt for Win 10 and made it a PowerShell prompt

Running a separate .ahk file does not make it a separate executable, but regarding the order, it is determined by Windows. Separating them into separate executables however makes them run in fixed spots for me since they are not grouped as a single executable under AutoHotkey.exe. To see what I mean...

JJohnston2

I see. I don't do a lot of work in that arena so was just curious... appreciate your insights. Thanks.

Windows likes to group icons of the same executable which can be a real headache sometimes. My issue was that I couldn't make some icons hidden while keeping others visible. I eventually went to using an adaptation of exe() to run each script as it's own executable, afterwhich they can be arranged o...

Back up and running for me without any special cache or cookie clearing... thanks!

Joe, thank you for the code... appreciate that a lot.

Yeah that's what I was looking for. Not with those search terms though... thanks

Does anyone know of a handy routine adapted or developed from scratch that checks for invalid filename characters in Windows? (i.e., if I go to rename a file and want to throw an earlier error before actually trying to do the rename) Or perhaps just the list of characters that should be stripped fro...

Thank you all for example code... very helpful. The code from nnnik is closest to what I was looking for. If I change the init routine to be This.__InitialValue:=Object() then it operates pretty much as I was hoping for. In the __Get(Key) routine, what is the purpose of cloning This.__InitialValue ?...

One convenient method to initialize a bunch of settings is to have an array (collection) of objects where the objects all have the same properties. These can be put in tabular form using comma-delimited statements (multiple columns), increment the array index (multiple rows), and it comes out as a d...

I don't have the same setup you do but when I run the second command it fails and says it's not recognized as the name of a cmdlet. When you run the second instance 'manually', are you doing it manually from within PowerShell using Get-Hotfix ? or manually from a command prompt via powershell.exe -N...

Just curious about this... do you have a link by any chance with more info?

I was able to group a bunch of icons in the tray one time when I had an issue... must have been for something else (maybe a recurring dialog vs. separate script instances). Nice shortcut to kill everything by name.

So I found this the other day in the run log for a program that hung... 668: Try 669: outlookApp := ComObjCreate("Outlook.Application") (10984.62) Obviously Try doesn't work if the offending code doesn't throw an exception... it looks like Outlook just went to lunch and never came back. Is there any...

JJohnston2

Your best bet is to fix the problem that got you there, but I've had this happen unintentionally when it's not supposed to. Two options if you have to kill everything: 1) You can have the taskbar group your icons temporarily (since it sounds like you don't have that option set) and then right click ...

All of the COM Object code above is for Word. If you want to use another program go back to your original code.

You can also try ControlFocus if your ControlSend text isn't getting sent the way you think it should be.

Use SetCoordMode to set pixel coordinates to screen, pick a set of coordinates in the region of interest, then use pixelGetColor as noted above. Something else I've also found handy in regions of 'white' or with some color that is actually shaded (i.e., has color variations vs. pure white 0xFFFFFF),...

There are other references for code that utilizes COM Objects... here is some code from a link on the old forum (http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/56987-com-object-reference-autohotkey-v11/page-3) You can use the TypeText() method to do this operation in the background or even when the documents...
