Hello. A simple question. I put a cursor in a specific position (a field). After AHK script starts running, at some point the position (focus?) is lost due to the way the website is constructed. Is there any way to remember the original cursor (caret) position, so that I can restore when the script ...

This is the scenario...
Before sending a text, I display a popup message using Gui.
Even if I don't display a message, the focus is going away often
How can I put a cursor back, so that I can send a text?

I am talking about a keyboard, not a mouse.

Is there any way to get a caret position and then use it to set the cursor in that position before sending text?

Oh, true.
I forgot about the stay parameter, missed it. My fault. Thank you!

The stay parameter is actually redundant, I planned to remove it, but forgot

Hello.

I was playing with the Send command.
It seems it can only send text character by character, like typing.
I was wondering if it is possible to send a text as a whole string?

Thanks.

How to define an action if any typing key is pressed?

Thanks

Hi. I couldn't understand from the documentation which is the best method to send text into text field in terms of speed? When I do this in Twitter reply, any of these methods work quite slow and part-by-part for just one sentence. It takes about 2-3 seconds to send text into the input field. Why is...

Hello. Is there an Enter pressed event for ListBox in AHK 2? Let's say I selected an item in ListBox, and I want to submit it by pressing Enter key? Is it possible, like using OnEvent() method for example? Something like MyListBox.OnEvent('Enter', EnterPressed) I know there is no "Enter" event for L...

This is a continuation of my previous thread [Moderator note: Now the same thread.] Still struggling with passing a value selected in the ListBox back to the Hotkey code, the result variable. So I have a ButtonClicked event handler, fine, not sure if it is needed at all. In the Hotkey code I show th...

flyingDman Cool. Thanks !! Can I do this inline, without external click event handler function? I need ListBoxGetChoice() function to return ListBox1 selected option when I click Submit button. Something like this: Ins:: result := ListBoxGetChoice() ; Ins Hotkey to call a function that displays a p...

Hello. How to get a value of ListBox1 control here? Thanks.

Yes! Worked. Thank you.

Try is not a valid part of an expression which you are trying to define as part of a fat arrow function. The syntax for that is () => expr , where expr is an expression. Makes sense. Then, how should I stop playing audio there? If I move try SoundPlay('Nonexistent.mp3') outside the arrow function, ...

Hi. Why is AHK complaining on try statement? CreateTimer() { timeout := InputBox('Set timer interval (in minutes)', 'Timer').Value if (!IsInteger(timeout)) Exit SetTimer(() => ( SoundPlay('WakeUp.mp3') MsgBox('Сработал таймер!', 'Таймер', 'Icon! OK') try SoundPlay('Nonexistent.mp3') ; Complains on t...

Do you mean with

When I call this function from other places

other scripts that contain a copy of this function?

What? No. One script file, other places in code

You didn't understand.
Each time I call ShowMessageBox() it will create a new instance.
Take a look, this is a countdown timer:
