... would be aware of its own Edit/ComboBox handle so that you can easily use both if needed. Would you please provide an example of what you'd do using the edit's handle? I'll give a very specific example I am using now but in summary its when you want to use Control, ChooseString but all you know...

Nice I needed it yesterday!
Thank you!

Thanks for your detailed reply, its super interesting. I was not aware of Anki but I read the paragraph anyway lol. Seems gigantic and complex to parse correctly! Good job on accomplishing that. Sometimes we don't want to "re-invent" the wheel as they say but it still can be necessary in many scenar...

Do you talk about AHK GUI ComboBoxes?

Yes mostly, for convenience.
I think it would be useful if the Gui, Add, ComboBox, ... vCb1 gCb1 hwndhCb1 would be aware of its own Edit/ComboBox handle so that you can easily use both if needed.

DRocks

Would it be possible to implement a built-in and documented function that would be able to retrieve a Edit's parent ComboBox hwnd and/or classNN ? And also the other way around, get the Hwnd of a ComboBox's edit? I find it hard to get around this still after 1 year and a half with Ahk. Or probably m...

DRocks

Nice code !
Thanks.

I am wondering why you did not use the built-in Loop, Parse, _, Csv ?
Was it for specific custom needs ?
- Seeing that you do some complex regexmatch stuff.

DRocks

Thanks this works fine! Here's another example for others to refer to: Drag and drop a .csv on Gui to create a global csv.fileName array / object or link a file directly to the getCSV_CONTENT() function #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. SendMode ...

flyingDman Thanks a lot FlyingDman. you need to include xl.visible := true but you can do it after hiding one of the workbooks to avoid having the second file "flash". Ah that's exactly what I wanted to acheive, nice. To activate a hidden workbook, you'll have to make it visible first, then to acti...

I found a way that feels hacky to me but here's the sample. Is that even close to a good way of doing it ? ;... if (!xlApp.Visible && WindowShouldBeVisible) { xlApp.Visible := true } xlWB.Windows(FileName).Visible := WindowShouldBeVisible ;... What's wierd about it is that the window is opened for a...

How do you make ExcelWorkbook1.xslx visible and keep ExcelWorkbook2.xlsx invisible when both belong to the same Excel Application object ? XlApp.Visible := True will automatically bring every workbooks in the xlApp object visible together. How do you target only workbook1 or workbook2 with the Visib...

DRocks

Thank you again. I had found your example in another forum post while I was documenting on the topic and tried it too. I agree with you on all you said about the complexity of having multiple Excel apps openned and the intention to keep it down to a single instance. I discovered my problem of multip...

Very nice and clear, thank you FG.

Here's a solution to a problem I had to deal with when dealing with Excel COM . This class is a gathering of many ideas by great people. It wraps everything I needed for myself in a easy to use class which I adapted from these other person's work - so credits to them (and many thanks). Details: The ...

DRocks

Thanks for this. By doing this method you've shown FanaticGuru I'd suppose it would be possible to have more than one Excel Workbook openned and not encounter ID conflicts ? xlWB:= Excel_GetWB("S:\Folder\WorkHours.xlsm") xlSheet := xlWB.ActiveSheet xlApp := xlWB.Parent MsgBox % xlWB.Sheets(1).Range(...

DRocks

Re OpenExcel() FanaticGuru Have you ever encountered a exception where you have a minimized Excel workbook that isn't Found when using OpenExcel()? I do not understand why the COM object works fine when the workbook is already openned and NOT in minimized window state. But it doesn't work when minim...

DRocks

Thanks for your reply.

With your latest example I've not been able to reproduce the need to add the if (xlApp) condition.

Although I do wonder why you return xlWB instead of xlApp ?
I'm not able to use xlWB.Range() directly is this normal ?

DRocks

I needed to add this condition to make the example OpenExcel() function provided by FanaticGuru: if (xlApp) { ... } precisely: try { xlApp := ComObjActive("Excel.Application") if (xlApp) { for xlWB in xlApp.Workbooks if (xlWB.Name = FileName) { Found := true break } } } Without this condition I get ...

MannyKSoSo Smart move thanks for updating swagfag dude I never saw this kind of syntax. Are you basically showing that with a function binding and passing a object, you don't need to declare each Gui variables ?? The object automatically keeps a hwnd of a Gui, Add command ?? EDIT: ohh wow ok I miss...

DRocks

Thank you very much for your help guys, this has all been clear and I get it now. Interestingly, I never used ListVars before O.o Most times I debug with msgboxes alone but ListVars would be faster lol :D thanks Based on yours - here's another example for any one else looking at the post: #Persisten...
