AutoHotkey Community

I would suggest running the following to confirm that the private key (which setup was failing to open or create) does not already exist. If you are unable to run .ahk files by double-clicking, you can drag-drop the file onto a copy of AutoHotkey.exe (v2). #Requires AutoHotkey v2 if !DllCall("Advapi...

It is not possible for the message shown in picture 2 to appear if the files did not already exist before setup ran. The error shown in picture 3 is completely unrelated, and may well have occurred the first time around. This would have interrupted installation and put the installation directory in ...

v2.1-alpha.9 (out now) Rather than constructing a struct and then replacing the already-allocated pointer with ObjSetDataPtr (which will probably be removed), StructFromPtr can be used to create a "typed pointer". At the moment it is more or less the same as a struct instance, but with __delete dis...

Added rudimentary struct pointers ( StructFromPtr ). Changed MouseGetPos to throw OSError if the mouse position cannot be determined. Changes applicable only to alpha users: Fixed static var := unset . Fixed throw() within Catch to re-throw. Fixed non-struct objects to not be allocated data by defau...

ptr := &intVar never did "Get the address of the integer". It got the address of a string of digits . That is now achieved by StrPtr. This and most (optimistically "all") other changes are explained in Changes from v1.1 to v2.0 . Just search that page for "&var (address-of)". I would still want to ...

The script ceases to be "persistent" when you close the GUI, so it exits (apparently before releasing the object). If you use Persistent , you will see the message. (see __New (Gui) ). This avoids circular references There is a special case in the implementation of __New: when EventObj == this , it ...

The second screenshot indicates one of the following: A previous installation at the same location failed partway (i.e. the screenshot isn't from your first attempt). You have manually extracted the installation files to the installation directory prior to running setup, or similar. It is warning yo...

It is the same as a function which uses return without a parameter, but if you want to be safe, you will use => "".

F14 through F22 share scan codes with the Browser_* and Launch_* keys, except that the latter have the "extended key" flag set (it is technically separate to the scan code, but AutoHotkey combines them into sc1xx or sc0xx). That might have some impact on how the OS processes them, although I'm not a...

This is by design. words.Delete(NewWord) will try to call the function named "2". One of many design flaws of v1 fixed by v2. (You are effectively doing the same as words.Delete := 2 , which would also prevent the method from being called in v2. But in v2, an error would be thrown.) Also, I see you ...

Last time I read it, the remarks for GetDpiForWindow didn't seem to fully explain how the value is determined. I think I had a cognitive disconnect between "The system DPI" and what it actually means on Windows 10: the baseline DPI for the target process . On Windows 8.1, I think the system DPI is t...

The reason, apparently, is that TreeList is not registered with CS_GLOBALCLASS. I happened to come across this at some point, and made a note to look into this limitation. At first glance, it would seem that the Custom control needs a way to specify the module. However, it is quite trivial to work ...

Am I missing something, or are the GetWindowDpiAwarenessContext and GetAwarenessFromDpiAwarenessContext calls unnecessary? Can someone confirm that the issue with CaretGetPos exists on Windows >=8.1 <1607? If so, I'm not expecting there to be a fix for those versions. GetDpiForMonitor (like per-moni...

This might have been fixed by v2.0.12.

Fixed Send erroneously releasing a modifier due to a race condition. For example, ~LAlt::Send "{Blind}x" intermittently released LAlt if some other keyboard hook was installed more recently than the script's own hook.

At some point Microsoft changed the window class of the context menu from Xaml_WindowedPopupClass to Microsoft.UI.Content.PopupWindowSiteBridge. Aside from that, the script still works.

I previously suggested that SendEvent could be a workaround, but that was a mistake. When SendEvent is used, or when Send or SendInput falls back to SendEvent mode, the issue you described is present even on v2.0.6 and earlier. SendInput mode was not affected by the issue because of the bug I mentio...

Fixed by v2.0.12.

A_IPAddressX and SysGetIPAddresses weren't designed to handle failure. v2.0.12 fixes this. However, whatever condition was causing it to fail will likely still do so; you'll just get an empty array instead of a Critical Error. If you are not having issues in other software, I would suggest looking a...

In v2.0.12, ControlGetFocus returns 0 for console windows.

Fixed by v2.0.12.

@ZhuangQu it would have been helpful to say that when mcl first brought up AltGr.
