Here's something funny. F1::LoopUntilHotkeyIsPressed("LoopBody_Test", "F2", maxLoops:=4) LoopBody_Test(){ SoundBeep, 500 sleep 100 SoundBeep, 800 sleep 500 } LoopUntilHotkeyIsPressed(loopBody, terminationKey, maxLoopCount:=""){ loop := new HotkeyTerminatedLoop(loopBody, terminationKey, maxLoopCount)...

There is a native way to zip files in AHK That's pretty nice. I didn't know about that. it's kind of a chore to make sure to "OK" it or "Enter" it to make it keep going. Sorry, you can remove that msgbox by deleting the "msgbox" line inside the function. I just included it to give some indication o...

I don't want one giant zip of this 10 GB... no, I needs one zip of each jpg and pdf

That's what my solution does. It searches every subfolder recursively, and if it finds a jpg/pdf pair with the same name, it makes a new zip containing just that pair.

You could do them all at once instead of manually selecting each one, by looping through all your files/folders and sending them to 7zip/Winrar/whatever. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/LoopFile.htm This will do what you want using 7zip commandline. Pass your parent folder to the function (...

In your script, the menu is only built once (at the top of the script) and it never changes. If you want the items to change, you need to check the process name and add/delete items accordingly every time before showing it. (That, and you're missing quotes for string comparison against "Explorer.EXE...

If you search DPI scaling on the forum, you'll find some threads about it. This thread sets DPI scaling with a hotkey. https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?style=17&p=349429 "Make everything bigger" seems to be an Ease of Access feature though, so I'm not sure if it's the same thing as DP...

What happens if you switch the order around like this? (show gui -> set transparency -> attach to parent) gui, color, white gui, add, picture, h-1 BackgroundTrans, Sun.png winget, ID, ID, Trees0 gui, -Caption -border +hwndGuiID gui, show winset, TransColor, white, ahk_id %GuiID% gui, +parent%ID% ret...

Switch is meant for checking exact values. You probably want a sequence of if/elseifs, or a ternary operator, since it gives you more freedom for what you want to check. var := "all ok" InStr(var, "ok") ? SomeCommand("a") : (var > 7 && var < 10) ? SomeCommand("b") : (var = "an exact phrase") ? SomeC...

That's kind of clever, I hadn't thought of that. But AHK does support sending parameters to a glabel without smuggling them inside the variable's name. You can assign a bound function object to the buttons using GuiControl +g. Adds a few lines, but makes your intent more obvious. #SingleInstance For...

Instead of using ahk's Menu, you could design a custom GUI that resembles a menu. Unlike a menu, your script hotkeys would still respond while your GUI is open. Or, you could run the menu as a separate script. Hotkeys from your main script will still respond, since it's not the one showing the menu....

Does this work?

You want to distinguish between two explorer windows both titled "Downloads", but they have different paths? (F:\Downloads vs \\NetworkSomething\Downloads?). It's possible to get the explorer path from their HWNDs/windowIDs, which would let you tell them apart. Then use WinActivate on "ahk_id someID...

In this case, you could use WinActive's ExcludeTitle parameter. ;WinTitle = "ahk_class OpusApp", ExcludeTitle = "Dokument1 - Word" #If (WinActive("ahk_class OpusApp", , "Dokument1 - Word")) F5::msgbox hi #If You could also accomplish it using ahk_group, since GroupAdd supports ExcludeTitle. GroupAdd...

https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Functions.htm#Local https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Objects.htm#Reference_Counting my_var's scope is just considered local to your function "Function" (assuming it isn't a global variable you declared eslsewhere). In a language like Java, variables declared inside an ...

The part "JUCE_176f9" is always the same. That's what's after that, that change. "RegEx also applies to ahk_class and ahk_exe; for example, ahk_class IEFrame searches for any window whose class name contains IEFrame anywhere." You've already added "SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx", which should accomplish...

You could do something like this. If you search RegisterShellHookWindow or RegisterWindowMessage on the forum, there are some better examples. #Persistent MyShellMessageListener.Register() return class MyShellMessageListener extends ShellMessageListener{ OnShellMessageWindowCreated(wParam, lParam){ ...

I had this same problem of WinClose not working on Windows 10, when it had previously worked on Windows 7. (The PostMessage method above worked when WinClose did not.) I was able to fix the problem by right-clicking AutoHotkey.exe in explorer > Properties > Compatibility tab > put checkmark in "Run ...

I have a script named "ThisScriptShouldIncludeJoe.ahk". I want this script to #include a script named "Joe.ahk". I want it to rely on a built-in variable, so other scripts can reuse the same logic. (ThisScriptShouldIncludeSteve.ahk, ThisScriptShouldIncludeMike.ahk) The code below expresses the kind ...

This is a really cool program, and I had a lot of fun picking it apart and seeing how it works. I found an "Invalid or nonexistent owner or parent window" error will occur if you open a new CabinetWClass window and then close that window extremely quickly. (For example, a folder on the desktop or so...
