Re: Understanding GuiControl properties
Hmm. I kind of agree with everybody. In my real world app, the GUI is a function, and it's very convenient to make it with global MyGui := Gui() , then I can read and write to any v variable for the small typing overhead of MyGui["MyCheckBox"].value , which is also descriptive. On the other hand, th...

Re: Understanding GuiControl properties
I see. I didn't know I could reach the v option var like that without using MyGui.Submit() first.william_ahk wrote: ↑13 Jan 2024, 23:27In v2, variable assignment is not a replacement for v in options, you can still use vCtrlName, and it's the recommended way.
Thank you too.

Re: Understanding GuiControl properties
OK - I think I grok that. Thank you boiler! This tells me that I need to learn more about classes which have always been a bit mysterious to me.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Understanding GuiControl properties
Hi Wondering if someone can help me with understanding the rules about GuiControl properties. In v1, I am a big user of g labels and GuiControlGet, so I am trying to build similar functionality in v2. For the code below, it works fine as is. But if I un-comment the OnEvent for the checkbox control, ...

Re: TextRender v1.7 - Draw text on screen
iseahound this is a really nice and modern execution of gdip for AHK - thank-you! Just wondering if you had in any interest in incorporating gdiplus\GdipCreateLineBrushFromRect ? Using it with two similar colors for the background and rounded corners can give a really nice very slightly 3D backgrou...

Re: Finding a really nasty bug
Hi swagfag Thanks for your response, and the schooling. I dug for more information over several emails. But finally I struck a good seam of information, and I already had growing suspicions as my app doesn't actually do any Sending, though it does have a bunch of hotkeys. It turns out my user has tw...

Finding a really nasty bug
Hello I develop a small widget with AHK. It's an OSD for a brand of pro audio hardware. The OSD uses open sound control and has user assigned hotkeys for various functions. It's simple but it's complex too. I have one user that gets a full machine lockup sometimes, requiring a hard power off. Nasty!...

Re: Looking for feedback from TrayIcon library users on Windows 11
updated my office laptop to Win 11 My guess is that you updated to Build 22621, where teadrinker's code works great. However, it does not work in Build 22623 (where it gets the MsgBox, Not Found ) for the same reason that the TrayIcon library does not work (as lexikos explained). I don't understand...

Re: Looking for feedback from TrayIcon library users on Windows 11
Last night I updated my office laptop to Win 11 (in place), did a quick test of the code by teadrinker, it seemed to work flawlessly. Then I hurriedly put my Win 10 image back! Thanks @teadrinker !

Re: Looking for feedback from TrayIcon library users on Windows 11
Hi @potscrubber, That's the same TrayIcon library that I've been talking about the whole time (Original Author: Sean, Update Author: Cyruz, Mod Author: Fanatic Guru). It works great in W10 (and earlier), as well as W11 through Build 22621, but does not work in Build 22623, the cause of which lexiko...

Re: Prompting an app running in tray to create first window
Thanks for that swagfag, I just learnt something (Spy++). Unfortunately, when focusing it's message capture on the aforementioned app main window or dominant ClassNN, it's as barren as a salt lake: not a single message. Compared to the voluminous flood of messages when focused on the Notepad window....

Prompting an app running in tray to create first window
Hello folks My AHK acript is working with a 3rd party app, which stays resident and has an icon in the tray. I use a hotkey to have this app show and hide it's window. WinShow, WinActivate and WinHide all work fine with it - but only for subsequent show/hide actions. When the app is first run, I hav...

I think I found the reason: script2.cpp: // v1.1.34: Avoid TTM_UPDATETIPTEXT if the text hasn't changed, to reduce flicker.

Yeah, I compile with the 1.1.33.10 binary for one particular program I distribute where big friendly tooltips are very helpful to the users.

v1.1.34 Optimized ToolTip for cases where the text isn't changing, to reduce flicker and speed it up. ??? Oh I missed that in the ChangleLog, yes thanks. Actually in a quick test it seemed to affect your ToolTipEx as well, in the font and size selection. Perhaps lexicos might be kind enough to upda...

Re: ToolTipFont / ToolTipColor - options for the ToolTip command
These wonderful wee functions no longer work for me in AHK 1.1.34.03. Specifically ToolTipFont: font and size. I just get the standard Windows tooltip.
If I downgrade to AHK 1.1.33.10 then functionality returns. Using AHK Unicode x64 in Win 10 x64 21H2.
Anyone else?
cheers.
