Since the Windows update, my windows have randomly been losing focus. Needless to say, this is a nightmare for typing. I want to write a program to monitor who has focus and log changes. I could put WinGetActiveStats in a loop, but I am wondering if there is a more elegant way to do this (e.g., COM,...

My application usually just runs once a day, but occasionally more often. In those cases the original log file gets overwritten. Is there a built-in way to control this? I'd rather it just keep appending or rotate the logs and keep the original intact somehow. There is. My initial idea was you just...

Interesting. No issues for me. But to %% or not to %% is the bane of my AutoHotKey existence What is your section name? I have a new version of Shove-It semi-complete (messing with the log ability and ignoring windows that refuse to be shoved). I'll add your code to it before I release it. And thank...

Is the file object completely async? A thing that would be nice to have is something like logObject which could handle objects. And let's the user define a function for Object logging beforehand. Generally dealing with multiple types would by nice. Explain to me more how to do that? Or point me to ...

Wow I started needing a logging class today and I see this is less than a week old. Perfect timing. Thanks my dude. Thanks Please let me know if I need to correct any errors. I noticed that both .initalizeNewLogFile() and .finalizeLog() ignore pre/postEntryString, which seems a little inconsistant ...

FYI:
I am thinking about pulling out the ability to set the log's filename through anything but New().

This would mean all the filename-related properties would be read-only (get(), but no set())

PS:
GitHub is an idea. I have never used it before.

This class makes working with a log file much easier. Once created, you can write to a log file with a single method call. Each instance of the object supports a single log file (and its inactive older versions). To use multiple log files (with separate names) create multiple instances. The log file...

Wow, that is truly exceptional.

Thank you all, especially nnmik for your full detailed example.

%A_ThisFunc% is the current function. That I got. I have a program in which FuncA calls FuncB and FuncB calls FuncC. FuncD also calls FuncC. %A_ThisFunc% in FuncC is "FuncC" (as it should be). Is there any way within FuncC that I can tell if it was called by FuncB or FuncD? (Yes, I could pass some i...

What I am trying to do is move controls from the left of the GUI to the right of the GUI, and then have the GUI's width and X/Y change by dropping portions if itself from the left. Let us see if I can show this ... 1. |A|B| <-- GUI gets created 2. |B|A| <-- I move A from the left to the right of B [...

Aww crap !!!!

Thanks. It is always the little things that drive you nuts.

The short question, like most on the forum, is why doesn't the below work (i.e., update)? I have a GUI with a variable number of repeating elements. These elements need to show status (change text) independently. I am trying to just use a pseudo-array of variables to identify them, but I am having n...

Ever get annoyed that windows appear partially off screen? Ever had that annoying window that appears way off screen and you can't grab its title bar? Shove-It makes program windows behave by keeping them from going off the screen. It also keeps them from slipping under the Taskbar when you have the...

Thanks a lot, but I still have a ton of questions you need to assign YCoordRel before you assign to the XCoordRel property, look in __new. I don't understand. It seems to work without flipping the assignment order in _New() Plus, if I did have to assign X before Y to make X.set() work, I'd be stuck ...

Can I get some help in writing my first set method? Up until this point I have basically used AHK objects as arrays with some functions (which you know ...) , but now I am trying to branch out. I have a simple object with 5 properties. Every time I change Prop#1 or Prop#2, I want Prop#3 to also chan...

Thanks, Flipeador!

DeskIcons() is nice as far as it goes, but I am at a loss as to how to take the next step, setting arbitrary icon positions. If I dump out coords I get This PC:47318090 Recycle Bin:53150794 Handbrake:64816202 That 64816202 number (for Handbrake) must be a coordinate or related to one. And by adding ...
