A "toolbar" like the taskbar that takes its own reserved space and pushes other windows aside is called an appbar. So all you would need to do is to create an AHK Gui with buttons to launch your scripts, and transform that Gui into an appbar. Just search for "appbar" in this forum and you'll find a ...

Reminds me of the conceptually similar globalsFromIni() from the old forum that creates global variables:

Wow TLM! This is so much better than anything that I could've come up with! Apart from exploring the traditional WMI resources here and on the old forum, I never really dug into WMI. But you might just have pointed me to my next learning adventure! Your code does exactly what I wanted. Perfect, than...

There is a variety of scripts and strategies that can be used to change the brightness on a laptop. For example, the following (which include some repeated codes) all work on my Windows 10 laptop: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=36170 https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=26921...

@TheDewd First, thanks a lot. I somehow didn't know about the ExecuteMso method but it has now proven to be very useful for my needs. Second, unfortunately, in my copy of Office Professional Plus 2016 the code you provided does not work as I thought it would (unfortunately I don't have other version...

Hi all, How can COM be used to select the "Draw a textbox" tool in PowerPoint? This is the textbox-shaped tool that is present on both the Home and Insert tabs on the PowerPoint ribbon. When you click it, the cursor changes and the next time you left-click on a slide in PowerPoint it will insert a t...

One way may be to create a custom toolbar in Windows, then dock an AHK Gui to it. The example here works well on my Win 7 system: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/8972-attach-a-script-to-a-custom-toolbar-on-windows-taskbar/ As another more limited option, you can use gdip to update numbers on a sy...

So which old scripts have you tried that don't work for you?

Thanks for the code just me, this is great! In a previous life using AHK Basic, to add tooltips to menus I used the MMenu module from the great Majkinetor, which replaces standard menus and allows all kinds of customizations: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/16248-module-mmenu-10-b1/ It was useful...

Hi Soft,

Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated. And thanks for the clarification about OnMessage. I look forward to future updates!

Hi Soft, This is a nice update to the old code. Using the code in the example, if I want to dock multiple windows to the parent window, do I need to define for each docked window one new InitDockX, one new FuncObjX, and call OnMessage for each new FuncObjX? Also, like was done by Majkinetor, would i...

Hi Acecool,

You say "Pretty straight forward" but reading your description here or on Github, I still don't know what this is or how it can be used. Could you maybe try to clarify?

Hi I also don't know jQuery... Maybe one of these does what you want?

What a great tool. Thanks Lexikos for your work on this (and for all the time and effort you've put into AHK).

Hi just me,

Thanks for your thoughtful answer, much appreciated. I'll look into more closely. Cheers!

Hi just me, I'm still very much enjoying this class. Fantastic work! Is there any way to create on the same Gui different series of independent buttons? To illustrate what I mean, here is a simple example: - I set the "pressed" option to a blue button background - If I press button 1, it becomes act...

Hi kon, Again, thanks a lot for your help. The variable in my real script comes from an iniread, and with your suggestion I just converted the string into a number (using this: https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/21271-converting-string-to-number/) and now it works beautifully! Thanks a lot! Now that...

Hi kon, Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help, and the comments in your code are very helpful. And thanks also for your tutorial, it's made understanding the basics of COM much easier, although I still have a lot to learn. In relation to that, it's still not clear how I could use the typed val...

Hi, I'm trying to learn COM to control PowerPoint and I'm having a few issues. I've looked into the following very useful docs: https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8978&p=49871&hilit=powerpoint#p49871 https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/56987-com-object-reference-autohotkey-v11/ but am ...
