Why is that article focusing so much on positioning the taskbar take up less space? There's always the option to hide it completely. The taskbar serves a purpose, so it should get all the space it needs to be useful. I've set my taskbar to never combine buttons, not to combine buttons across screens...

IMO the article is misinterpreting MS' blog post: M365 will no longer support IE11 next year. Edge will continue to be developed. Edge legacy will stop development. IE11 is part of W10 and will continue to be updated. So IE's com will remain available (phew), however the numbers of compatible sites ...

but it fails when the monitors are stacked vertically or when offset by large vertical distances.

How does it fail? Does the cursor not move at all or does it move to a wrong place, like the corner of a screen?

Put some effort into describing what did work, and what happens now instead.

if var between is a traditional if statement. In your code you're trying to run it as an expressional if... which will not work as expected. Instead use if (Request >=2017 && Request<=A_YYYY).

Any function that's executed to evaluate for the down event of a conditional hotkey (such as RButton:: ) will evaluate prior to passing through the event (assuming there's no difference in process elevation). So when RButton is pressed, the window it hovers over isn't activated yet, so the position ...

Come to think about it, the linked thread would cause trouble too when using it in multiple scripts. Perhaps you can set a passthrough hotkey for capslock up in one of the scripts which sets the proper caps lock state. ~CapsLock up::SetCapsLockState,Off Capslock will still turn on for a moment and b...

SetCapsLockState uses the keyboard hook to keep CapsLock off. When running multiple instances of AHK each will load the hook, with the last one started (except if run as admin) getting a higher priority processing input. So the most recently started AHK will intercept the CapsLock input, preventing...

I'll dig more into that: I am now looking for a way to use the keyboard hook AND SendInput because this is what I need in my project (and with speed and reliability). I'm not sure this is even possible actually... The reliability refers to the fact that sendinput places the entire string to the buf...

They're all similar processes. There's no such thing as a child mode. The hierarchy is the screenshot is you can retrieve information which process id launched a certain process. If that parent is still running, its child is displayed below it. Once the parent process ends, the child will be moved u...

I can't help with the problem, as I don't have AutoCAD, but a few remarks: •  Send {Sleep 50} sends the sleep key 50 times, it doesn't wait 50 milliseconds. Depending on your send mode it may take a lot mode or less time, and possible trigger other things. •  Send !J sends Alt+Shift+j, also probably...

You're checking if clipboard contains the literal text "Leadname". Use If (Clipboard = LeadName) (an expressional if) instead.

First of, your q1 and q2 are stored as strings. However, it looks like the comparison works by comparing them as numbers, which overflow an Int64, resulting in two identical numbers (replace the most significant f to 0 to prevent the overflow and your code works as expected). To force the comparison...

I think you could use dllcall to OpenClipboard and CloseClipboard when your window becomes active or loses focus respectively to prevent the clipboard from being accessed and getting data written to regardless of using Ctrl+C or the context menu. Not sure if it would hang the script until its attemp...

The five minute wait starts after you dismiss the message box. Could it be that you only do that when you see it with a monitor that's on?

If you only check for the window size you'll also include maximized windows, which are not full screen. So then you'll need to determine what you consider fullscreen as it's not a single property that determines that. This seems like a good starting point , although I use it with an additional check...

I'm trying to automatically get QlikView data into Excel. I've come across an old third party Excel plugin which could connect and import a QlikView website, but that has seems to have been snuffed by QlikView. So my next attempt would be to automatically export an Excel file through the webview. I'...

I have the same issue with monitors in landscape vs portrait orientation. I think I posted the code I use here: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=40456

You could run something like that as a batch job once every %period%. If timing is important you could search the forum for WatchFolder() or WatchDirectory().

What kind of issue? During SendInput the hook would be temporarily disabled, opposed to during SendEvent. Also, when running multiple scripts using hooks, SendInput would revert to SendEvent using lower wait times. Perhaps that explains the 'issue'?
