Hi @hannahelappin: :) This thread may be of some use for the first question, at least for hibernation. For shutdown, there's Shutdown which includes all the options including hibernate. The second, well, there's this thread that may help as well. And for this, also consider using A_Tickcount: The nu...

I agree, notwithstanding many of the high quality descriptions in Variables & Expressions, there is too much content compared to the others. Perhaps we could even have something like separate topics for Variables, Expression, and The Use of Variables in Expressions . joefiesta , why not a new thread...

As a matter of interest, here's an early Google search for Americanisation , and one for Americanization . The English one has the earliest reference viz "re-Americanisation" found in the Edinburgh review (1830), the earliest for American "z" version is for 1835. Best not to take that as too reliabl...

Hi @TheArkive!

STDOUT is a pipe which limits the options some:

Seek, Tell and Length should not be used if Filename is a handle to a nonseeking device such as a pipe or a communications device.

Any luck with RawRead?

Doesn't this do anything?

Code: Select all

#Warn, LocalSameAsGlobal,  Off

Recommended use is for a debugger:

Code: Select all

#Warn All, OutputDebug
#Warn, LocalSameAsGlobal,  Off

In the first script, after WinWaitActive, writing tag data try replacing

Code: Select all

Send, {ENTER}

with

Code: Select all

If (WinExist(ahk_class #32770)
WinClose, ahk_class #32770

It should work provided there are no other active messagebox dialogs in the system.

Hi @seamoon,

We might suppose Mp3tag shows the title "writing tag data" while it's writing. The second script doesn't check for that.

Here's a proposal for a thread handling small (one-line max) requests/suggestions mainly directed to terminology, punctuation, cross links and the like.

Hi there @andy2020,
FileGetShortcut is an older function which only resolves (.lnk) shortcut files. Filesystem functions for symbolic links such as UWP apps are listed here.
More for the Ask for Help section, there's an interesting (non ahk) app which handles symlinks.

It looked like there was enough for version 3.0, but no, there had to be a tutu version first:

Thanks for the script. :) Bit out of left field so here goes: when one is presented with the option of a font, would his choice be affected if he knew it was already used by the system? Here's a standalone script which covers two defaults, there may be a number more (untested for non-default- sry): ...

As soon as logged today in AHK in there was a new popup tab in Chrome with: Password Checkup.JPG "Password Checker" is now bundled into Chrome , so these types of alerts might become more common place.

W10 Home 1.1.32.00 (32-bit) 1440 X 900. Tried a bigger font: s20- not too much of a discernible difference in the quality of font, but the purplish tinge becomes apparent in the "in" of testing. Tried s8, the font rendering gets blurry. Turning off cleartype, the colour at s20 has gone, but the "es"...

In listing them as with Shell:AppsFolder or explorer.exe shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-B780-3893943456e1} , the answer lies in Appmodel.h .

Try this:

WM_CLOSE := 0x10
WinGet, PID, PID, ahk_exe Acrobat.exe
SendMessage, %WM_CLOSE%, 0, 0, , % "ahk_pid" PID, , , , 5000

If it is not working, perhaps the executable is using some kind of UIPI?

Hi @ sxftsxinch-2! :) It's assumed Acrobat still has the standard close box? places the message in the message queue associated with the target window. It does not wait for acknowledgement or reply. By contrast, SendMessage waits for the target window to process the message, up until the timeout per...
