boiler is saying you don't need special tools to convert. A string "10" assigned to a variable name through expression syntax can be used as a number, as per boiler's example.

Code: Select all
test := "10"
test1 := test * 1000
Msgbox, %test1%
For more info, see the documentation on expressions.

By default, a given hotkey or hotstring subroutine cannot be run a second time if it is already running. Use #MaxThreadsPerHotkey to change this behavior. from https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Threads.htm You can set #MaxThreadsPerHotkey, 2 at the top of your script. See if you can make it work...

Hello scripters! I'm working on a new little script which involves creating a number of GUIs inside a class. Running through some concepts and I seem to be unable to reference the class methods with a GUI g-label. As expected - not using classes at all - this works: gui, add, text, ghello, click me ...

It looks like you have Notepad set as the default to execute .ahk files. You can search for "default apps" in your Start menu search box to check.

Could you wrap your script in code tags for easier reading? Can you say what isn't working right now? - is the name of the active window updated with the "active -" prefix? - if you change focus to a different window, are the names of both windows updated correctly? - can a window lose focus while s...

The default escape character in Autohotkey is a backtic:

Code: Select all

So sending the following should work:

Code: Select all

`{JSFoundset<db:/dbname/tablename>`}

I don't think you need to escape angle brackets or forward slashes, but not on a PC right now so can't test.

The forum rules don't allow me to express my feelings... Well said :mrgreen: I have felt the same way. I'm sure you've figured this out but it helps to choose one method and stick with it. If you like the simple = and don't mind prefacing expressions with %, go for that. If you like walruses and do...

...the point about not having DOWN with some of the keys is still valid because it would release the key (essentially perform a down and up) before sending the next key.

Absolutely! You fixed OP's script. Shame they didn't reply.

AHK is smart enough to not execute a command until the previous command has finished. Basically, for every command in your script, AHK waits for Windows to say "I have done what you wanted" before executing the next line. However, when you send the key combination ^c, your system will say "I have do...

Clipwait only waits for the clipboard to contain anything. It doesn't detect change.

Try adding a

Code: Select all

clipboard=

before the second ^c.

Pepineros

I don't think this is possible. If a GUI button is not accessible by its name or ID or (in case of IE) through the DOM, there's not much AHK can do with it directly. A workaround would be to bind a single hotkey to: - activate and resize the window - click the location of the button - minimise the w...

You need a space between the key name and DOWN or UP.

I don't think that's true. It should work with or without space between {keyname} and key.

Pepineros

I would suggest using ^c and ^v instead of the keyname plus down or up; and also to add a sleep or clipwait after sending ^c. Instead of using alt-tab you can use winactivate, so Adobe and Word don't need to be next to each other in your Z-stack (say in case you manually alt-tab to something else in...

Pepineros

Try using a sleep (crude) or clipwait after each ^c.

If you want to use the default value of the 2nd parameter but specify the 3rd, you need to let ahk know that explicitly by leaving one argument empty. If you want to use the default value of the 3rd parameter you should omit it entirely, i.e. not place a comma after the 2nd argument when calling. On...

What you're describing is normal Windows behaviour when holding down a key.

Could you say which key it is? Do you need it to also perform its normal action on a single press, in addition to a different behaviour when holding it down?

Presumably you're only running this script while playing, right? In that case you don't need to use #ifwinactive. Can you try the following (untested, sorry), run this script _after_ you run both instances of WoW: Loop { ControlSend,,{w down},World of Warcraft,,A RandomSleep(2000,5000) ControlSend,,...

Try it with a mousemove to the coordinates you're using, and a regular click (not controlclick) to see if your coords are good. Obviously the target window needs to be active for this. If it turns out that the coords were wrong, I recommend using windowSpy (built in to autohotkey) to find the coords...

Sorry to hear this sir! Your COM tutorial was a godsend. I will be contributing.

Hope you find something else soon!

Hi, I like this idea. I wrote a script quickly that tackles this but requires 2 global vars, which is not ideal. This can definitely be improved upon by someone with more time and/or experience than me. #noenv #singleinstance,force global started := 0 gui,keytrigger:new gui,add,text,xm ym+3 w80 r1,B...
