Hello,

Detect single, double, and triple-presses of a hotkey

If you want to preserve the value of a local variable from one function call to the next, you will probably want to use a static variable.

Cycling through an array

Yes, I think that those are the right ideas to get started. Can a control ever be added twice if a Destroy command always precedes the Add? The script below shows how a specific sort of timing can throw the error even in that situation. If your user simulates this timing in relation to your script, ...

I have provided all of the recommendations that I have. If they are not useful for you, then others may have some better ones! Best of luck. #Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11 x1 := 0 y1 := 0 x2 := A_ScreenWidth y2 := A_ScreenHeight rgb := 0xFFFFFF CoordMode Pixel PixelSearch x, y, x1, y1, x2, y2, rgb,...

If you trigger a hotkey a second time, it does not abort the first subroutine. Instead, it interrupts it. When the interrupting routine ends, the interrupted routine will resume. I did not test your script, but having an infinite loop within the subroutine complicates it. Nothing will completely bre...

I have already suggested that you display the MDPID, but I don't think you have done it yet. Or, also as mentioned, you can insert a single MsgBox line before the GUI control is added. You need not wonder about what will happen. You can determine it by testing! I personally would not care whether yo...

Try it and see! Let everyone know!

Hello,

The "in" syntax would not be used with an array. You would need to loop through the array elements to find a value.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11
arr   := [1, 5]
found := False
For k, v in arr
 If (v = 5)
  found := True
MsgBox, 64, Found, % found

Variables are local to functions by default. To define or change a global variable within a function, declare the variable as global within the function. Else does not apply to directives. #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 toggle := False Ins:: { Global toggle := !toggle SoundBeep 1000 + 500 * toggle } #Hot...

I recommend reading about expressions and If in the documentation. Ideas are below. This shows how to refer to expressions. In most situations, % is not used to refer to variables in expressions. Variable names in an expression are not enclosed in percent signs (except for pseudo-arrays and other do...

This forum has thousands of posts with toggles. Another is below. Test in Notepad.

You can use any hotkey to define a variable. You can then use #HotIf to evaluate its value.

No, I have not tested it lately. Others here may have better ideas.

It looks like the forum has automatically provided a link to the image instead of an attachment. I have no idea why.

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum! If you need to trigger a hotkey while a modifier is being held, then you must do at least one of three things. Add the modifier to the hotkey. Add the wildcard to the hotkey. Use a custom combination (not usually preferred). #Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11 #MaxThrea...

Just a comment here: I believe that the script to achieve this goal was already posted previously, so you might want to search the forum for it.
