Hello, You can continue to run v1 scripts without difficulty. For new scripts, you may wish to use v2. I would recommend that. These two major versions can co-exist; installing v2 does not alter v1. Changes are noted below. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/v2-changes.htm V1 is no longer being deve...

You can use a

map object.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
obj1 := Map(
   'name', 'mary'
 , 'int2', 16
)
MsgBox myfunc(obj1['int2']), 'Result', 'Iconi'

myfunc(n) {
 Return Sqrt(n)
}

I would start by capturing a simple static image from your screen as a PNG file, and then using that in your testing to see if ImageSearch works. If it fails, then it typically means that the image is not visible or that the coordinates are wrong. If using default coordinates, then the point of refe...

So you added the image. What happened next?

Hello, "Does not work" does not explain what your script does when you run it. Is your hotkey ever triggered? If so, how do you know? What does the script actually do? What value does the search return? Are your coordinates relative to the active window's client area? If not, adjust, or use CoordMod...

The first example shows how you can retrieve an unexpected PID or the wrong PID. The second example shows how to get a window's HWND after you run a program. My understanding is that Windows 11 (and perhaps Windows 10, but I do not recall) changed the programs used for CMD shell; not a great concern...

Hello,

This might be done simply by ImageSearch if you search for a black image and then check the ErrorLevel from the search.

Try it and see. You will be the person who decides upon the definition of a "completed" file. Various definitions could be crafted.

Most likely, a text file can be read when it exists, but you can try it to confirm. You are able to answer your question by running your script.

Hello, KeyWait with a timeout will wait for the timeout or the wait condition to be met, whichever comes first. With default thread priorities, a triggered hotkey interrupts other threads unless the other thread uses an uninterruptible statement. An interrupted thread resumes when the interrupting t...

Yes. First, install the

keyboard hook and mouse hook in your script. Second, if you have no luck with it, then check to see whether a scan code is identified.

Hello,

You can try the following script, with no changes and no additions. Close all other scripts before running it.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11
F3::Run SnippingTool.exe /Clip

That's helpful information and seems to get a step closer to the problem, though I cannot pinpoint it exactly. If the script reads the text file exactly when the file is actually changing, I am not sure what happens. In any case, this information might help other readers to know what is causing the ...

Mine is below.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
fPath := 'test.txt'
txt   := read(fPath)
MsgBox txt, 'Text', 'Iconi'

read(fPath) {
 Loop {
  Try FileRead(fPath)
  Catch {
   SoundBeep 1500
   Sleep 900
  } Else {
   Sleep 1500
   Return FileRead(fPath)
  }
 }
}

A variation is below.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

$w:: {
 Send 'w'
 If !KeyWait('w', 'T.3') {
  Send '{w down}'
  SoundBeep 1500
  KeyWait 'w'
  Send '{w up}'
  SoundBeep 1000
 }
}

Hello,

The documentation may help you. Below is an example of how to use expressions with Send.

I reproduced your issue a couple of times and saw it noted in some Windows forums. You could try the following as a workaround. Adjust the WinTitle and program as needed. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 #e Up:: ^!e Up:: { Run 'calc' If WinWait('Calculator ahk_class ApplicationFrameWindow',, 3) WinActivate...

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum! The script that you posted worked here when I used calc.exe instead of calc1.exe. A different script may yield different results, and a different Calculator program may yield different results. Your description refers to a hotkey that is not in your script. My AHK v...

Others here may know the way. How and when are you running your four-line script file? It just runs and then exits immediately afterwards? What is in your text file when the script fails? Have you confirmed that the script successfully reads your text file? Can you post a screenshot of the error mes...

mikeyww

Test in Notepad to see how it works. Use this script with no other code and no other scripts running.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11

*2::
SetKeyDelay 25, 25
While GetKeyState("2", "P")
 SendEvent {Blind}2
