Been using V1 for over a decade for stand-alone controllers and or providing interface glue for an application that has no cli Started by working on one of these systems ... it has 3 AHK scripts that run concurrently 1) glue app watches for content in an import folder ... content triggers the proces...

Thanks, the compile folders are not System folders Was beginning to suspect AHK dropped support for W7 but their site still states V2 requires W7 or above I have a number of W7 machines (no mouse/keyboard) that are explicitly used for background automation tasks to manage; Weather data, Cam data, in...

My V2 test scripts appear to run as ahk files but the moment I attempt to compile them to an exe I get the following error message Error:Could not move final compiled binary file to destination (C1) "c:\<my file path>\<file>.exe" Also ran Ahk2Exe v1.1.37.01a 2023 TAC109 in Gui mode with the same res...

thanks for that ... there are typos in there too :( ... with v2 exclusively installed, and SciTe fixed to work with v2, am now getting consistent results despite the occasional errors ... at least they are resolvable. In combo with BAT, POWERSHELL, VBS, and AHK, I am slowly getting my v1 scripts con...

been using ahk for many years mostly for automating local weather data and webcam photos up web sites ... was attempting to rewrite my many scripts so I only have to deploy one common set of scripts using and include.ahk with dynamic functions and am having an issue with the run command (first in ve...

Now two consecutive days since I made my last changes ... the AHK scripts are now behaving ... no more Dups ... Wahoo! ... WinExist appears to have resolved issues with the older IfWinExists and IfWinNotExists functions ... kind of annoying that these older scripts, which had been working for years ...

Now completely updated all AHK scripts to eliminate the use of ifwinexist and ifwinnotexist ... WinExist and !WinExist are recommended to replace these 2 functions ... tested as much of the process functionality as feasible without interrupting operations ... here is hoping that this change will eli...

I added Exceptions to MSE for .ahk, ahk2exe.exe, ./AHK ... AND ... added more IfWinExist WinClose Overnight, the restart resulted in duplicating ALL of the active ahk instances ... Major Why? My best guess is a common thread between the following 2 Exist Clauses: 1) IfWinExist WinClose is failing to...

Having a similar situation with Microsoft Security Essentials except it was also deleting the exe files.

Added an AHK exception in MSE to no avail ... will try the AHK2EXE.exe exception in MSE ... as well as move the compiled scripts to a folder that can be excluded in MSE

Setup consisting of: 24/7/365 5+ year old Win 7 Pro 64 machine (no keyboard or mouse) autonomously running Weather, and Security Software using AutoHotKey Scripts to manage timing of things like triggering Photo Capture, Website Updates, Archiving, and nightly Restarts Issues: The reason for nightly...

Ok progressing a bit further but hoping someone might have an answer Control, TabRight, 1, ControlName, WindowTitle moves to the NEXT page Control, TabLeft, 1, ControlName, WindowTitle moves to the PREVIOUS page the correct Tab Name shows up in WinSpy Visible Text ... so what is WinSpy looking at? h...

Turned out this had to do with a Case Sensitive Character in the Control name

Resolved

Windows app with several tabs ... Spy shows the control name is consistent across all tabs but not clear how to select the page (typically an integer value) ... is there some way to do a ControlSetFocus, Controlname(n), WindowTitle?

Trying to automatically import a csv file in to a windows application The app's import window has no min max buttons but can be manually moved The app retains the last position of this import window which is becoming problematic to this automation process The window can move outside the bounds of th...

IE has the same issue ... perhaps logic has been added to the web software to prevent automated panning ??? Not sure how the web software could detect between human vs AutoHotKey Mouse controls with the exception of MouseClickDrag would always move the mouse in a straight line ... as a test, I creat...

Was running a 2014 version of Auto Hot key ... just updated to the latest version ... still has the same issue ... going to try an alternate browser

I have had an AutoKey script running for several years which pulls up a public site containing a weather map ... the script opens the url, clicks on a few map options that turns off terrain, resizes the map then is supposed to re-position the center of the map ... once the auto script finishes, I ca...
