Even if the offset is correct, your usage is not. See the second paragraph for "VarOrAddress". I knew I was doing something wrong, I just didn't know WHAT. Thank you, lexikos. The following now works (tested on Windows 8.1)(the offset was correct). #persistent #singleInstance force GUID_MONITOR_POW...

Just to clarify - will Critical 3000 only be in effect for the thread in which it's declared, or until a Critical Off is encountered? The documentation isn't entirely clear, it says "Note: Increasing the message-check interval too much may reduce the responsiveness of various events such as GUI wind...

And also I'm not sure whether blanking a var is exactly the same as just setting all its bits to 0. It could be that blanking a var somehow removes it from the process's memory space and it becomes a null pointer instead of a pointer to a var which contains x bytes made up of 0's. Even ahk treats th...

pneumatic

why do you think that AHK_H requires you to set the variable to blank first, but AHK_L doesn't? The difference to main AutoHotkey is that #NoEnv is set by default and VarSetCapacity keeps memory in variable when capacity is changed. There are scenarios where not blanking a var first could result in...

Since I couldn't get a clear answer on whether var := "" , VarSetCapacity(var, %RunTimeBoundNumber%) Is equivalent to VarSetCapacity(var, %RunTimeBoundNumber%, 0) The solution I ended up going with is to put comments in my _L script like this ;#AHK_H var := "" VarSetCapacity(var, 1024) Then patch th...

Sorry, I misinterpreted the rule. I thought disabling EOLT meant that CR+LF becomes LF. But actually all it means is that LF remains as LF instead of becoming CR+LF. So if a line in a string contains CR+LF, it will just remain as CR+LF, since the LF portion of it remains as LF. And if another line i...

pneumatic

But in the first example, OutputFileContents contains CR+LF (because it originated from FileRead which requires the *t option to convert CR+LF's to LF) and yet FileAppend still writes it back to file as CR+LF. And in the last example there is a mixture of CR+LF and LF in the output file, and CR's ar...

Edit: solved, not a bug, just my misinterpretation of what "disable end of line translation" means. Contents of InputFile.txt: https://i.lensdump.com/i/iN4aaZ.png Now read the file in and write it back out to file to confirm FileRead and FileAppend are working properly: FileRead , OutputFileContents...

Put the AHK_H executable (x64w\Autohotkey.exe) alongside your .ahk file, then rename it to the same as your .ahk file, then run the executable. x64w\Autohotkey.exe = 64-bit unicode Win32w\Autohotkey.exe = 32-bit unicode x64a\Autohotkey.exe = 64-bit ansi Win32a\Autohotkey.exe = 32-bit ansi _MT versio...

You will need to use VarSetCapacity(s, -1) to update the variable's internally-stored string length to the length of its current contents, see VarSetCapacity . Thanks, it works! And it was there in the documentation all along :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: But I'm still not sure if VarSetCapaci...

pneumatic

i'm guessing you are running your test script on ansi (a) and not unicode (w) I use Unicode 64-bit exclusively. Speculation: the contents of the string are unpredictable and depend on what happens to be in that memory address on your particular system. On your system it happens to be something that...

There are several "tricks" for speeding up script execution. You should probably try them out and see how it goes. The sustained 4 second CPU load occurs before the first line of ahk code is even executed. The fact that it doesn't occur on my Win7 machine leads me to speculate that it's not actuall...

Thanks, I did mean to assign.

When I first encountered that type of expression I thought it was silly too, but now I can't live without it

I mean you get 2 lines for the price of 1 - less code and improved performance, what's not to like?

pneumatic

so i guess Reload inside the exit routine will not recursively call it As long as ExitApp,2 isn't in the autoexec section it won't. If you're concerned about there being no ExitApp inside ExitApp(), it's is not needed as ahk automatically does that, even if a runtime error occurs during it. However...

pneumatic

Really don't know how to start AHK not as admin - I'm starting script - so AHK file. If your Windows has a non administrator user account available, put the ahk executable (which is probably in c:\program files\autohotkey) alongside your ahk file and rename the exe to the same as the ahk file, then...

pneumatic

I encountered something like that, but it only occurs when all of the following conditions occur simultaneously: 1. My script is running as administrator 2. My script's GUI window is visible and activated 3. The application which suffers from blocked input is running at a lower "integrity" level (i....

pneumatic

So if Reload is used on its own (without ExitApp after it) Reload will automatically call the OnExit routine, and crucially, will NOT interrupt it, instead allowing the OnExit routine to run for a few seconds, after which this ahk dialogue is posted https://i.lensdump.com/i/iogc2P.png Couple of issu...

pneumatic

Thanks guys. Funnily enough, the original topic of this thread was going to be asking about what is the purpose of OnExit when you can just make your own function and call that instead :lol: According to docs, here are some things unique about the OnExit routine -does not obey #MaxThreads and cannot...

Just do If WinExist("Paper level_")

Because SetTitleMatchMode is 1 by default

1: A window's title must start with the specified WinTitle to be a match.
2: A window's title can contain WinTitle anywhere inside it to be a match.
3: A window's title must exactly match WinTitle to be a match.
