Re: Rounding Bug

Can anyone say why this argument is not settled by simply adding remarks as to the this behavior to the round() function's documentation?

should it be necessary that someone suggests to do what is patently obvious?

Re: Space after function causes it to fail

thank you all who replied to my question: why in the world would the V1 MSGBOX, options, title, text, timeout syntax be rearranged to Msgbox(text,title,options) (that is, reordering the parameters)? I think RussF hit it on the nail with: [indent=] I suppose one could ask the question, "Why was the V...

Re: Space after function causes it to fail

I don't use V2, and one reason is this msgbox function.

why in the world would the V1 MSGBOX, options, title, text, timeout
syntax be rearranged to Msgbox(text,title,options) (that is, reordering the parameters)?

Is there a logical explanation for this?

Re: "ShortDate" format is not recognized in Gui.Add options for DateTime controls Topic is solved

I heartily agree this is a bug. One thing about writing code is to make it easier to decipher 10 or 20 years after you write it, or when someone else reads it. That one should have to have remembered the default should not be necessary. I believe--and it is true is all other languages I have worked ...

Re: Context menu shortcut letter not underlines Topic is solved

awesome responses. SOLVED, but not without further questions. And, yes! the Ease of Access setting mentioned fixed the problem for me. What I don't understand, now is far, far more incomprehensible: Some of my AHK macros already DID create context menu's with Shortcut Keys Underlined, with that opti...

Context menu shortcut letter not underlines Topic is solved

The context menu items in this script should have a shortcut key underlined, as per doc. There are no underlined letters. Does anyone know why? (of course, one must right click the gui to show the context menu.) Gui, 3: Add, Text, x001 y007 w500 , testcontext.ahk Gui, 3: Show, x700 y500, Testcontext...

thanks, but I know all about Irfanview. Irfanview is incredible and I have hundreds of ahk routines to help me use it.

Getting Window Client position

If found the function WinGetClientPos() here: https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/98679-function-wingetclientpos/ I reduced it to the following, where I simply plug in (for simplicity in testing) the target window's HWND.

Re: Number parsing should be continuous Topic is solved

As just an aside: I find it absolutely amazing that V1 and V2 work differently with these two examples. No wander I don't want to migrate. Is there any documentation that points out such tremendous differnces in operation of the 2 ahks? In v1: a := 2. 2 ; 2.2 MsgBox %a% ; -> 2. A := 2. "" MsgBox %a%...

Re: bug reports

thanks.... don't know if I'd ever get to v2. 50000 lines of v1 code and i'm 72!!!

again, wish needed changes were summarized. Wading through code and "DISCOVERING" necessary changes seem too laborious at this stage.
