I'm pretty sure that automating your Discord channel violates their terms of service, so for us to help would be no different than helping someone code any other type of malware, i.e. keyloggers, pranks, etc.

I started getting AI generated "Overviews" with every Google search as I'm sure most of you have as well. While researching a way to turn them off, (you can't, by the way), I came across a posting on support.google where hundreds of people felt the same way. I tried to post the following response: W...

...is there a possibility to leave any traces of the function running in the background causing memory leak or similar problems, please? No, the closing brace } IS the end of the function. As I said, in AHK, the Return statement is not necessary unless you are returning a value. Whether of not you ...

Thank you boiler - a typo on my part. I will fix the code above. As I think about it, I was getting my x and y confused regarding displays, and even a 4k display at 100% scaling would not be able to support a y value of 3054, since a 4k display has a resolution of 3840 (x) by 2160 (y). The largest n...

You could try this (untested): Loop, 32 { SetTitleMatchMode, 2 CoordMode, Mouse, Window tt = Issues WinWait, %tt% IfWinNotActive, %tt%,, WinActivate, %tt% Sleep, 600 MouseClick, L, 1464, (604 + ((A_Index - 1) * 50) ; Select task line (I want to shift this command down 50 pixels after each loop) Slee...

One way is not any "better" than the other. It is not necessary to have a Return in AHK. That said, MANY other languages DO require a Return at the end of a function and I usually use one out of years of habit. It also helps me to know I am definitely at the end of the function. Just as a side note ...

This topic has been addressed many times on these forums. The Fn key does not (as a general rule) generate any scan code that can be used by AHK. The key is intercepted and interpreted directly by the PC's BIOS. On a laptop, there is usually a toggle setting in the BIOS that will switch the function...

A Return statement is not required for a function unless you are returning a value to the caller, for example: #Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33+ MsgBox % Sum(5,9) Exitapp Sum(a,b) { c := a + b Return % c } or #Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33+ MsgBox % Sum(5,9) Exitapp Sum(a,b) { Return (a + b) } Russ

You forgot the asterisk.

Try this Steve: #SingleInstance #Requires AutoHotkey v2+ ; disappearing text experiment guiTitle := 'Color Change' str := 'the quick brown fox jumps over' mg := Gui(, guiTitle) mg.SetFont('s16 cBlue','Consolas') sBlue := mg.Add('text', 'w400', str) mg.Show() #hotif WinActive(guiTitle) Space:: { sBlu...

1) I would say that once you are done with it, you can delete it.

2) See Freeing Objects. Either way should work.

Russ

In your first example, you are returning hBM from the function call, so you probably don't want to delete it before you return it. hBM is one of the arguments in the second example - I can't say what the overall effect of deleting it to the system would be. I guess my question is why? Are you experi...

Anything after a Return will not be executed.

I got my first AV hit ever on AHK from Bitdefender (our managed AV system) at the end of March when I downloaded V2.0.12 . It did not quarantine them, just notified me as suspicious. I've honestly never heard of Defender actually deleting files (especially scripts, which are just text files.) It sho...

Also... From https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/Concepts.htm#names Although a variable name may consist entirely of digits, this is generally used only for incoming command line parameters. Such numeric names cannot be used in expressions because they would be seen as numbers rather than variables. ...

flyingDman I don't disagree with you at all. While I am nowhere near your level of expertise with COM and may struggle coming up with the command structure I need, I CAN infer from context what a given command does and can usually edit it to my needs. Reading the room, the OP seemed clearly intimid...

Now to see if I can incorporate the 'save to USB' code .... We simply need to incorporate flyingDman 's code above without the line that closes Excel. #Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33+ ; Microsoft Excel - Book1.xlsx SetTitleMatchMode 2 WinActivate, ahk_class XLMAIN send ^s sleep 1000 ; adjust as necess...

So, if we are to understand you correctly, Copying to a USB drive is no longer a priority because you are doing it 'your own way'. All you really want to do is save an open Excel spreadsheet - and double-clicking a desktop icon is easier to you than clicking File->Save in Excel or pressing Ctrl-S (w...
