Thanks, Capn Odin. Still no joy, but I think you've got me on the right track. It does appear to be a timing issue. Please see the code below, which works. But I have no timing issues when I don't try to use the second variable (FF). #SingleInstance, Force pwb := WBGet() URL = https://[MyURLHere]. p...

Thanks, Capn Odin.

I tried both solutions, but neither worked.

I will try to use AHK_H, and see if there is something in that version that might let me do what I'm trying to do.

I'll post right away if it works.

Thanks, Capn Odin, but neither works. Might I need to be using AHK_H instead? Maybe I'll try that. If it works I'll post right away.

Again, thanks!

Hi, thanks for your response. The code I've listed works (no "." needed).
What I wanted to do was replace "_2076ade26f0648268e57e8bd7e3c3bd1_ListView_ElementsRepeater_txt_1_" with another variable, say "preFix", doesn't matter, and concatenate it with "startVar".

Hello, thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem. If I can get by this one hurdle, I believe it'll help me tremendously. My AHK toolset is still extremely limited, as you can probably tell. I'm scraping a public website with no scraping restrictions. The working code is below. 1)...

For a copy that works with my 64-bit Win7 box you can try https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67647214/iWB2%20Learner%20UPDATED.ahk. I corrected the typo listed above and moved a variable. Please let me know if it doesn't work or the link dies. Edit: That link is dead due to Dropbox policy changes, ...

Thanks, kon. I'd gotten as far as the code below when I came back to read your post, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Thanks again! I hadn't put braces after the "add" command, and it fires anyway. You are doing great work for the community and I really appreciate it. p.s. That semicolon in my e...

Hi, I'm really new it this myself, but I do have a couple of things working. You _might_ try adding either AutoHotkey.Interop.dll or AutoHotKey.dll as a reference (Project -> Add Reference, browse to the appropriate .DLL). In one project I just added AutoHotkey.Interop.dll and added "Imports AutoHot...

You might try "wb.Visible := 1" instead of "wb.Visible := true"; (maybe even (on the same line) if that doesn't work:) wb.Visible := 1, wb.Activate I have had this problem with Word. Using an integer, at least with Word, _does_ work. This link may be of some help. https://gist.github.com/tmplinshi/c...

:superhappy: Success!!!!!!!!!! Add a reference to AutoHotkey.Interop to the VB program. My problem was I was trying to use AHK escape characters within the AutoHotkey.Script. Dumb. As you can see, the "Word.Application" needed to be ""Word.Application"" for Visual Studio to see it. Imports AutoHotke...

Many thanks in advance to all who can help. The code below works, but doesn't do what I want. My goal is to create a Com object either from within an AutoHotKey.dll.ahktextdll script, or to create it with one of the AutoHotkey.Interop functions, or to at least operate on the Com object created in th...

And here's the code with a few of Amazing-Andrew's samples from https://github.com/amazing-andrew/AutoHotkey.Interop, converted to VB.NET. It's just a form with one button, like the last one. I just built the DLL in VS2015 and dropped it in the project, as advertised. (I haven't gotten to all of the...

:clap: Thanks so much, and thanks for your most excellent work! I am in awe. I only had to change "var :=" to "var =" and it works great. Here's the code now: Public Class Form1 Dim vbString As String = "Hello AHK World!" Sub SendAHKeys() Dim ahk As Object ahk = CreateObject("AutoHotkey.Script") ahk...

#NoEnv SendMode Input SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

#NoEnv SendMode Input run, acrobat sleep, 1000 send, !f sleep, 20 send, r sleep, 20 send, s sleep, 20 send, s Return The code suggested above didn't work for me. This, however, ran very quickly to the custom scan. I'm an utter novice at this, but it seems Acrobat needs a full second to get ready for...

This code works in a WinForm as is. What I want to do is get that string "str" (which is a VB.NET string) into an AHK variable. How can I do that? Sorry if this is old hat, but this is my first day with AHK/AHK.dll. Thanks in advance. Sub SendAHKeys() Dim ahk As Object Dim str As String = "Here goes...
