I understand it is not simple to reproduce this scenario. Thanks for taking the time when you'll have it.

Thanks for joining the discussion Nextron. Are you sure FileGetShortcut is throwing the error? Not the directory parsing loop trying to set some built-in variable based on the non-existent target of the shortcut, rather than the shortcut itself? The error occurs just after the MsgBox command, during...

This being said, I appreciate your help to find a workaround, JoeDF. But, my app being quite largely distributes, I would prefer to stay with recommended commands and understand why the same script on 2 similar machines behave differently... My questions: A) Can you reproduce the scenario 5.2? b) Fo...

Oh, I see. I got you wrong. Using a text editor (that can red binary files), I tried to open the Recent items folder to look at file's content but Windows is preventing me from doing this. I tried on 2 PCs where I have admin access. I hav not try via an AHK script yet. On your side can you open thes...

Your Send code fails because # is the modifier symbol for the Win key. You can use {#} or SendRaw c:\delete#me`n (not {Enter} ) instead. Thanks for jumping in Lekikos. Yes, I realized that later in my AHK learning curve :-) . Just forgot to update this thread about it. However, window.Navigate("C:\...

If I get you right, in this case, the path of the .lnk file is always "C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent Items".

To reproduce this issue, please follow these steps (tested here with Win 7): 1) Open an external drive (USB drive or key, for example). Create or copy an MS Office file on this drive and open it (just to make sure this file is registered in the Recent items). 2) Open Recent items (C:\Users\[User Nam...

Are you asking if there's a way to pull that prompt up manually? Are you asking to derive the domain automatically? Or are you asking why your run command doesn't work?. Ideally, the Run would show the login prompt if authentication is required. If this cannot be obtained from the Run command, I'm ...

Hello, I could not find info on the AHK forums or Stackoverflow. I'd like to detect that a given Windows location needs authentication and have the login prompt presented to the user. If I simply use the Run command, AHK returns an error like the one below. strLocation := "\\projets.domain.org\DavWW...

I needed to standardize the position and size of my action buttons (Save, Close, Cancel, etc.) and to center them in my various Gui. This function is doing it. It will be in the next release of my app Folders Popup . Thanks to user Greet for suggesting this improvement. Gui, New, , MyWindow Gui, Add...

This is what I'm doing, checking window title. But, my freeware application becoming distributed in various countries, there is a wide variety of file dialog boxes titles in English, not to mention localized version of Windows. In my app, user can add and manage file dialog boxes. But, for some non-...

Hello, Is there a safe way to tell if a dialog box (having class "#32770") is a file dialog box? By "file dialox box", I mean a dialog box containing a folders list, a file name text zone, a Save/Open/etc. button, etc. Is there any control name (other than "Edit1") or hidden info that would be revea...

Thanks for pointing this trismarck. To me, this closes the point. I can find another approach to what I want to achieve.

Thank you all !

Thanks for trying all this, guest3456.

Using your code, I played with various combination of SetTimer, Sleep, priority, etc. without more success.

Maybe, this is just not possible?

guest3456 wrote:You sure its not Alt+M ?

Alt-x is used to open menus like &File (Alt-F), &Options (Alt-O).

With an AHK popup menu, typing "M" manually works. And when an AHK popup menu is displayed, pressing Alt closes it.

I haven't found a post on this yet. How can I show an AHK menu with one of its submenu already open? I tried this: Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item1, MenuHandler Menu, Submenu1, Add, Item1, MenuHandler Menu, MyMenu, Add, &My Submenu, :Submenu1 return MenuHandler: MsgBox You selected %A_ThisMenuItem% from the...

Trying this with a folder name including # did not work! (EDIT: See foot note) This works: run, Explorer.exe Sleep, 500 Send, {F4}{Esc} Sleep, 500 Send, c:\delete_me{Enter} But this does not work: (EDIT: See foot note) run, Explorer.exe Sleep, 500 Send, {F4}{Esc} Sleep, 500 Send, c:\delete#me{Enter}...

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a solution to this: For pExp in ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").Windows if (pExp.hwnd = strWinId) try pExp.Navigate(myPath) This will fail if myPath includes a hash (# as in C:\C#Projects). The workaround would be to rely on the "second best" approach as id...
