Thank you both for the suggestions. :bravo: it was just me's Alternative suggestion which I needed in this case. I'm building an app which only works if the user is connected to the office LAN or via the VPN to office. When he/she is connected, the status field in the Gui has green text and a networ...

Hi. I want to monitor statuses in a Gui and use shell32.dll icons to visualize current status. It's easy to change text and color for text controls, but How would the syntax be for changing a Picture in a GUI? (I'm using icons from shell32.dll) Is it possible without redrawing the whole Gui? Simplif...

Thanks all! This helped me understanding regex a tiny bit better :) However , I found out that the position of the fields vary if the first column contains more than 5 digits, making the second field follow directly after the text in the first column. The position of all columns after col1 will be ...

How to replace one single character at a specific position in a string (A_LoopField) ? I can't figure out how the RegEx for AHK v2 should be. I get log files from a system where there are no field separators in the log file, just spaces, and if a "field" is empty it is filled with spaces as well. Be...

Thanks! I'll try this a.s.a.p

Don't know why I have created my own way of "arrays" by StrSplit:ing variables when arrays and objects was already there :crazy: Anyway I'll go with Objects in this case. Having .OnEvent on the same row as the button itself and no need for adding properties to bu...

Thank you mikeyww! You nudged me in the right direction :) It was the way the function was designed. I was using btn_Click(*) I've been using AHK v1 for 15 years and avoided functions but i'm learning it now. My goal was to have multiple features on each button (this example a "Name" and a "Path") a...

Hello, I want to use the same Function for several ThisButton.OnEvent("Click", MyFunction) instead of having a separate function for each button. The function will then read the received name from the button that called the function, where the function then have different outcome depending on the na...

Thanks. Hmm it works when pausing my multi featuere startup script

Hi! Anyone knows a workaround for this?

Hi. This may be old stuff but for those who have Guis with a lot of buttons, text, ddls etc and this example might help you minimize A lot of labels. I have a script with 36 buttons (An app for a MIDI controller keyboard). Narrowing it down to use only one gButton label really minimizes hundeds of r...
