Welcome to the forum! i press f1 and the script turn on exactly script that i want. Assigning F1 to perform an action is very simple in AHK. I'm not sure what you mean by "turning on a script". Are you looking to create a master script with hotkeys that run separate scripts, which in turn perform ot...

As a general rule, build your menu once (in the autoexec part of the script), then use a hotkey only to show it. #noenv #singleinstance,force menu,channelmenu,add,Save,click1 menu,channelmenu,add,Open new,click2 menu,channelmenu,add,Select,click3 appskey:: winactivate,the application you want to cli...

Both your first method and the method I posted work fine for me. Could that mean it's related to authorisation / administrator situation? I don't know why that would block me from moving IE but not Notepad... I have admin rights on this system but it is a work laptop so difficult to say exactly how...

Thanks HTH but same result I'm afraid. WinWaitActive ends much sooner than after 3 seconds (I added a tooltip after the winwaitactive line returning the PID) and the window does not move or resize.

Oh wait, I think I understand now. You're trying to automate a specific application that the screen reader doesn't work on. This should not be difficult, provided that you know the size of the application (so every clickable thing on your screen is always in the same place). No time to post full cod...

Hi Thomas! If I understand correctly, you would have a context menu with for example: - Start Chrome - New email - Start MS Word Now if you hit Enter on the first option, you want the mouse to click the coordinates of the shortcut to Chrome on your desktop. If you hit Enter on the second option, you...

If the result you need is always the first 3 characters of your output, you can simply use: output := "360 /km2 (980 /sq mi)" result := substr(output,1,3) If the result is the first x characters up to the first space, you can do: output := "360 /km2 (980 /sq mi)" endpos := instr(output, " ") -1 resu...

Another idea which would be more flexible: if your variable contains "50mb" you could parse that to separate the number from the letters and act on the result.

Don't have time now to write the code out but will star this and try to come back to it, if nobody beats me to it.

AHK doesn't understand what mb, gb etc mean. It stores 1gb and 50mb as text strings, not numerical values, so there's no way for this code to work in this manner. You could assign a byte value to each abbreviation and use a slightly different conditional: kb := 1000 mb := 1000000 gb := 1000000000 x ...

With one instance of Notepad running, the below code works: #noenv #singleinstance,force sendmode,input run,notepad.exe,,,new_pid sleep,3000 winmove,ahk_pid %new_pid%,,0,0,1000,800 Notepad runs and is moved & resized after the sleep. The following code does not work: #noenv #singleinstance,force sen...

Thanks Wolf! I was already using something very similar. Your example did exactly what I needed so I dug a little deeper. Turned out the gui, +OwnDialogs I had was targeting the wrong GUI. Fixed by using gui,sass:+OwnDialogs where sass is the name of the GUI it should be targeting. Thanks for pointi...

Hi all, I wasn't able to find an answer to this question, possibly because I'm not sure how to ask it in a way Google understands. Many applications can throw errors that prevent the user from interacting with the applications until they dismiss the error. Is it possible to do a similar thing with a...

this is jank. dont do this Creative jank! Is there a command which will kill a looping thread contained in the same script without actually killing/closing the script ? Not that I'm aware of. If reloading is OK (which is really killing & restarting your script, so maybe this is not the solution you...

The script is trying to find the directory where AutoHotkey.chm is stored.I assume it checks up 1 directory level just above where your screenshot cuts off? Then checks up 2 levels, then checks the Program Files folder.

one of two ways, some double-deref fuckery:

Yes, double deref it is. Thanks a mil, I should have looked at a for-loop instead of trying to use a_index!

Hi Amanda, Your English is fine :) You need the files called icon1.ico and icon2.ico in the working_dir of your script in order for AlphaBravo's code to work. You can make your own icons using MS Paint or download them online. EDIT: you can name the .ico files whatever you want of course, just chang...

If you say

Code: Select all

Mbutton::
send, ^Lbutton
return

or, more ridiculously

Code: Select all

Mbutton:
send, ^Lbutton
return

F1::gosub Mbutton

will bind the F1 key to trigger the label called "Mbutton" and send ctrl + left mouse button.

Hi all, I have a GUI with four Edit controls where the user can input data, and a subroutine that checks the contents of every Edit control; if empty, don't do anything, if not empty, append the contents of the edit control and the related text element to clipboard. For the sake of learning somethin...

Thanks wolf, that does exactly what I need!

I shall go forth and learn about Format()

Update on question 1 Yesterday after restarting the window was showing a client width of 120 and window width of 126 in Windowspy. After I finished working I shut down, booted up again just now, and guess what... back to 150/156. I can work around it by letting the script grab the window size inste...
