Send won't send characters unless I'm moving the mouse Topic is solved

when I press a hotkey that uses the Send function the characters will not print to the window unless I'm actively moving the mouse. I've tried "Send", "SendText", and "SendInput" with the same result. Usually the first 25 characters work, then I need to continuously move the mouse to get the rest to...

I'm in the process of trying to do this, and I'd love to talk to anybody who has been successful. My goal is to have 2 to 4 clients and consult on both workflow and automation, with me w...

Is there an easier way to assign a VarRef type variable to a global variable?

How is the best way to assign the VarRef type variables from MouseGetPos to the global variables of the same name? Is there a more concise way to do it then what I have below: xposition := 0 yposition := 0 return ; end autoexecute section ~LButton:: { MouseGetPos &xposition, &yposition global xposit...

Re: why is: (test := 2<1 or 4>2 and 7<8) true?

I considered this but then I come up with:

test := False OR True AND False
becomes:
test := False OR False
becomes:
test := False(0)

which again there is flaw in my thinking.

why is: (test := 2<1 or 4>2 and 7<8) true?

I'm lacking something fundamental in my understanding of OR and AND operators. test is true in the following statement: test := 2<1 OR 4>2 AND 7<8 I'm breaking it down like this, but I'm obviously wrong: test := False OR True AND False becomes: test := True AND False becomes: test := False(0) but th...

Re: Sorry, this file is infected with a virus

I tried that. Google apparently opens the files and scans them. So I still get the message in the title.

I can't find a link to submit this to google. Does anybody have such a link?

This is the message that comes up when I try to share a link to a AHK.exe file in my google drive. Is there a way to rectify this?

Re: attach hidden command prompt to script in autoexecute section Topic is solved

Thanks! I ended up braking up the lines of code you provided and put part into the autoexecute section, and the rest (slightly modified) into the exit section of my script. This made it so the command line only opens and closes one each time the script is run, instead of each time the command line i...

Re: If AND Statements for multiple variables Topic is solved

Variables in expressions (var) do not need the %var% format

Code: Select all

F6::
vAA := 1 , vBB := 3
vAB := vAA
vBC := vBB
If (vAB = vAA) && (vBC = vBB)
	Msgbox , 0 ,,  cool , 1
else
	Msgbox , 0 ,,  fail , 1

I'm trying to open a command prompt and hide it so when I run DOS commands I don't get a 'blip' of the command prompt every time. I had the code before, and it was 2 lines long, one line to open the command prompt, the second line hid the command prompt. That hidden command prompt would be used when...

Δ, β, and α converting to "delta", "beta" and "alpha"

I'm trying to convert Δ, β, and α to "delta", "beta" and "alpha", respectively.

The problem I'm having is that in SciTE for AHK:
Δ becomes "?"
α becomes "a"

is there a way to read these greek symbols into AHK with SciTE?

Thanks,

How to know when hotstring is triggered?

Is there any way for my script to know when a hotstring is triggered and which hotstring it is?

I'd like to write a line to a log file every time a hotstring is triggered indicating which hotstring was triggered, but I don't know what my script should "look" for....

Thanks in advance...
