How to maintain focus on a dialog during text entry?
I use WinActivate and Keywait to allow the user to enter arbitrary text into a dialog. Keywait passes through the keystrokes into the dialog until triggered by Enter, and then the script resumes and the Enter is sent to terminate the dialog. WinActivate, SomeDialog WinSet, Top ,, SomeDialog KeyWait,...

Re: Winmove will not resize some windows
This script is a hotkey: #!h:: ..... It runs from Windows-Alt-H, and is executed from the authohotkey.ahk script that loads at startup. So I need to make that script administrator? Change the shortcut in "C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" to administrator?

Winmove will not resize some windows
I'm defining a hotkey to reduce window size by 1/2. When moving primary monitor to high-res, Windows doesn't handle DPI scaling very well and many windows end up huge. This code works for some windows (Firefox for example), but it doesn't work for Windows Explorer windows. Why? Debugging MsgBox show...

Forum database has been hacked?
I use a unique email address for each forum I sign up in.
I received a phishing scam email invoice from a criminal posing as "Apple Payment" at the email address I use for this forum.
Possibly your member database has been compromised?

Activating an application from the tray in Windows 10
I'm running AutoHotKey v1.1.28.0 on Windows 10 /64. This post from a few year ago shows an example of exactly what I want to do: Open the window of an application that is running, but minimized to the Tray.

Re: "Send" function no longers inserts into Firefox
I have a startup shortcut to start AutoHotkey at boot. It has never needed any elevation before. Just to see if it made any difference, I quit AutoHotKey, and was going to re-start it with elevation from the start menu. However, now when I start it (with or without elevation), I get this error: Auto...

Re: WinExist not recognizing Outlook pop-up
@Guest, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it does not work. I edited my script and inserted your code. I got the same result. The window appears, but AutoHotKey is not triggered to send the keys. I kept playing around, and found that it will work if I remove the ahk_class qualifier. I was wor...
