Thank you yet again.

Thanks, TAC109. As long as I "have" you, maybe you can allay a concern: the ;@Ahk2Exe-Bin directive example in the current documentation is commented as "deprecated". Is it that choice of directive name that is deprecated, or the use of the .bin files for compilation? The latter would be problematic...

MYstery solved?

Cool sleuthing, Emile! I at least am convinced.

To answer my own questions: [...] the AutoHotkey interpreters (*.exe) themselves can be used instead of the provided *.bin files to create compiled scripts?? Yes. The resulting executables are somewhat larger than if the .bin files were used, but they work. [...] will Ahk2Exe.exe automatically look ...

BinBase.png Am I reading correctly that the AutoHotkey interpreters (*.exe) themselves can be used instead of the provided *.bin files to create compiled scripts?? If so, will Ahk2Exe.exe automatically look for them in its folder's parent or must a full path to the .exe(s) always be provided? Let m...

For what it's worth, here's the workaround I settled on to correct a new GUI's accent color without affecting the z-order: rather than temporarily give focus to an existing window before giving it back to the GUI, I give focus to a new ("invisible") window and immediately destroy it (by calling this...

Thanks, lexikos. I was assuming that only the "unsigned" comments were Chris's.

JBensimon

Thank you for the reply, gregster. I guess the MYstery lives on.

I don't think I understand: there's no user with the handle MY in the member list as far as I can tell, and who said anything about nationality?? I just wondered whether someone who appears to be (or to have been) involved in some way in AHK's development was somebody I may have run across in the fo...

Different question ...

Quite right, missed that detail in the question.

JBensimon

Good idea (and script), @mikeyww, but what if a paste occurs via Right-click + Paste?

JBensimon

According to the documentation of the AutoHotkey OnMessage() function, it depends on whether the message is sent or posted to the control: Messages sent to a control (rather than being posted) are not monitored because the system routes them directly to the control behind the scenes. This is seldom ...

JBensimon

Many comments in the AutoHotkey source code are signed "MY". Just curious to know who that is?

Described here https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=105550&p=469107#p469107 (with code for reproducing), it seems #WinActivateForce causes new GUI windows to be painted without a title bar and window frame accent color (despite being the active window), which makes them seem inacti...

JBensimon

Yes, the script (like most scripts) does work without #WinActivateForce , but this particular one at times activates local windows above full-screen remote sessions (various technologies: RDP, Citrix, VMware View) and, subjectively, it feels more immediate (and possibly even more reliable) with that...

JBensimon

I couldn't very well post a 3200+ lines script, so I did some experimenting and tracked down what appears to be the cause: the combination of #WinActivateForce and of creating & showing a GUI in response to a hotkey produces the behavior I described (although I've also seen it without the GUI being ...

JBensimon

I have a longish script that creates and displays various GUI dialogs in response to certain hotkeys, and I've observed a strange behavior: when a GUI is displayed (Gui, Show ...), it appears without the current accent color in its title bar (i.e. its title bar is white, making it look as if it does...

JBensimon

The Desktop's window class is sometimes WorkerW rather than Progman, so you should add that as another possibility in your #IfWinActive line. If that still doesn't work, use WindowSpy.ahk to find out the name or class of the active window after using Win+D -- if it's still one of the minimized windo...

Here's some working code: And here's an updated version that now allows for undoing a previous use of the function: calling it with no parameters or with TRUE still leads to FileSelectFile reliably always starting at RootDir , and calling it with FALSE will undo the created Registry entries to rest...

JBensimon

Here's some working code: calling this function at the top of a script will ensure every FileSelectFile RootDir is respected. (I chose to create a ComDlg32 subkey named FirstFolderTrack as the location of the EXE tracking entries) StableRootDir() { EXE := (A_IsCompiled) ? A_ScriptFullPath : A_AhkPat...
