BaseObj must be an Object. If assigning the new base would change the native type of the object, an exception is thrown. An object's native type is decided by the nearest prototype object belonging to a built-in class, such as Object.Prototype or Array.Prototype . For example, an instance of Array ...

It's probably rare that this would be used with a global variable in a real script. Limitations of the current implementation would prevent this from being used safely with local variables, since each local variable is in fact a sort of singleton object; the variable always belongs to the top-most i...

It is to be expected that Loop Parse, String is faster than Loop Parse, (1, String) . Although technically an expression, the former is not evaluated as such due to optimizations. The problem here is that sDerefBuf of previous line (Loop) is taken over by next line(s) so SET_DEREF_TIMER is launched ...

yezilaoda You are right; I don't see how that could ever have worked. A simple test with the following "unresponsive program" shows that WinKill is ineffective (without your changes). SetTimer freeze, -100 MsgBox freeze: DllCall("Sleep", "int", 1000000) lmstearn There is no indication in the Micros...

When the hook suppresses NumLock, it generates extra events to ensure the NumLock state does not change. // This handles the troublesome Numlock key, which on some (most/all?) keyboards // will change state independent of the keyboard's indicator light even if its // keydown and up events are suppre...

The Z option causes the hotstring recognizer to be reset whenever the hotstring is recognized. As a matter of fact, the option is put into effect for auto-replace hotstrings. However, auto-replace hotstrings do their own partial or full reset prior to that, so the Z option only affects the End Char,...

ListLines and the error messages show a rough reproduction of the source code based on the "semi-compiled" state of the script. The text of each expression is kept, but the overall text of commands is not; it is reproduced from the command index and text of each parameter. Each parameter might have ...

It is a conscious design choice, and is directly comparable to a user-defined implementation of a bound function. Consider f1(p*) => f2(p*) f1 has no maximum parameter count, but it will still fail if you pass more parameters than f2 can accept. The BoundFunc type also covers ObjBindMethod. In that ...

While external code is executing... internal code is not. It is to be expected that the GUI will not respond if incoming messages are not being processed; i.e. because the message loop (the code which pulls messages from the queue and dispatches them) cannot execute, because the thread is executing ...

Several bugs relating to AltGr have been fixed since this topic was started (five years ago). I suggest that you start a new topic in the Ask for Help forum, after confirming that you have the latest AutoHotkey release (v1.1.32.00) on all computers. Including code in your post may improve the odds t...

v2 has DirExist. It should be back-ported to v1. If the folder contains files and folders, I don't think there's any guarantee that FileExist will return the attributes of a folder. To be safe, you can use a single-iteration folder loop: DirExist(pattern) { Loop Files, % pattern, D return true retur...

Having any symbol, keyword or combination of characters that is given special meaning within the {Raw} mode would defeat the purpose. For instance, your script would fail if you have copied the text of your post, since %clipboard% would contain {EndRaw} which was intended to be literal, but would in...

ObjRawGet is effectively "ObjGetOwnProp". Because I wasn't sure that I wanted to keep it, I made only the minimal changes needed to get it working.

If you want to map object references to values, use a Map.

If the MsgBox was created by a different Windows thread than the script, it would not affect the script's DPI awareness context. On the contrary, the problem is that there is only one thread, and only one value per thread. When you call MsgBox, some system code creates the dialog, displays it, and r...

The other built-in classes don't actually exist yet, just the prototypes.

If (int1 := "12345678901234567890"){ This will assign the value and always execute the if statement, because the value is true. Of course, there would be more sensible cases, where the value being assigned is not a constant. But the inline assignment is immaterial anyway. The issue is with variable...

Arr[A_Index] does not do bound-checking in v1, at least in any way that directly relates to A_Index . There are no such bounds to check, because Arr is an associative array. It just does key lookup, which is not O(1). Arr[A_Index] does bound-checking in v2, assuming Arr is Array , because it is imp...

At this time, I have no intention of improving support for multi-dimensional arrays in v1, or supporting them at all in v2.0 . (That is, aside from the inherent ability of the __Item property to accept parameters, and any other already-present capabilities that a script can utilize to implement mult...

Variables are captured by reference , not by value. There is only one variable named item , not one for each iteration. This is a common mistake in Javascript. One small difference here is that when our for-loop completes, it restores the variable to the value it had prior to the loop (nothing), so ...

v1.1.33.00, although I currently have nothing else planned for that release. When the documentation is ready for release, submit a pull request - this improves the odds that I won't forget about it.
