CoordMode is limited to only certain commands Correct. The script I'm using to test it out is OCR so it doesn't fall under any of those. I suspect it does. My guess is that you're going to move the mouse pointer to the X,Y coordinates of the upper left corner of a screen area containing the image t...

not something like "+3" or "-3" Well, you could put the plus or minus sign in the variable, such as: VolumeIncrement:="-10" ; volume down SoundSet,%VolumeIncrement% VolumeIncrement:="+10" ; volume up SoundSet,%VolumeIncrement% Those work fine, but it makes more sense, imo, to put the value without ...

Hi DSX, These two commands work fine (with proper values for the VolumeIncrement variable): SoundSet,-%VolumeIncrement% ; volume down SoundSet,+%VolumeIncrement% ; volume up Also, this command works to toggle the mute setting: SoundSet,+1,,Mute ; toggle mute You may be interested in this thread at t...

Look at the CoordMode doc. Regards, Joe

One other thing...hover over the icons in the formatting toolbar (when writing a post) and you'll see what the BBCodes are. In the screenshot below, I was hovering over the Inline code tag (the letter c ): ahk forum btf.png That said, I rarely use the formatting toolbar, because I write my posts off...

don't know how you made the box around the text This forum uses BBCode tags . The tag for that is the letter c . Other popular tags are the letter b for bold , letter i for italics , and letter u for underlines , all of which can be combined . Read the doc on #Include , which explains everything, b...

run the AHK script Hi PDL, I see that this is your first post here, so let me say...Welcome Aboard! Link to the Github page Problem is, that's the doc, not the AHK script. The script is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/esrille/new-stickney/master/ahk/NewStickney.ahk Note that the script has ...

I just can't wrap my head around RegEx... In that case, you can use standard string functions. For starters, a function that reverses a string: StrReverse(Str) { RevStr:="" Loop,Parse,Str RevStr:=A_LoopField . RevStr Return RevStr } You may want to use that in the future, so put it in your AHK #Inc...

How does it fail? Hi Nextron, The monitor numbers are confusing because of the way Windows assigns them (and Display 1 is disconnected). Here's a summary based on the three screenshots in my initial post: Display 2 (Primary) M=1 Alt+Ctrl+1 (and Alt+Ctrl+0) Display 3 (Extended) M=2 Alt+Ctrl+2 Displa...

Hi gregster,

Update on my last post. I replaced both occurrences of this:

MouseMove,%X%,%Y%

With this:

DllCall("SetCursorPos","int",X,"int",Y)

Unfortunately, same result. But thanks for the idea...was worth a try. Regards, Joe

script which moved the cursor based on its relative height/width when transitioning between monitors instead of absolute coordinates Hi Nextron (or AhkeyDokey or anyone who wants to jump in), I was searching the forum for help with this question that I posted yesterday: Move mouse to center of moni...

I have only two monitors Hi gregster, Even with only two monitors you can see the problem. Stack them vertically...or just move one of them down much lower than the other...the script will fail. DllCall("SetCursorPos", "int", 100, "int", 400) ; The first number is the X-coordinate and the second is...

which coords do you get Hi just me, OK, ran this script on all three configs: CoordMode,Mouse,Screen ; coordinates relative to entire desktop ResultsFile:=A_Temp . "\MonitorCoordinates.txt" FileDelete,%ResultsFile% ; delete file from previous run SysGet,NumMons,MonitorCount ; get number of monitors...

shortened Hi Rohwedder, Thanks for the post, but I intentionally do not "shorten" code. I prefer clarity over brevity in my code. Makes it easier for others to understand and maintain my code..easier even for me a year later. :) I do not like to cram as much as possible into a single line. I always...

Hi Folks, My goal is to provide a hotkey that moves the mouse to the center of the monitor for each monitor in a multi-monitor config. For example: Alt+Ctrl+1 ==> move mouse to monitor 1 Alt+Ctrl+2 ==> move mouse to monitor 2 Alt+Ctrl+3 ==> move mouse to monitor 3 Alt+Ctrl+4 ==> move mouse to monito...

Hi Dan,

My question from a few years may help you:

Read through it and you'll find that there is a working solution based on the Tesseract OCR engine. Regards, Joe

I'm certain that is not true. It will not work (whether C: drive or M: drive or any drive) with the quote marks in there. Regards, Joe

TrayIcon_Move is not persisting between reboots TrayIcon_Move does exactly what its name says...moves the tray icons. The fact that they don't necessarily stay in the same position after a reboot has nothing to do with TrayIcon_Move ...that's a Windows issue. If you move the icons manually via drag...

Another method is not to require the ending character in the first place (so that there's no need to omit it):
Doc for it is at the same link that gregster posted. Regards, Joe

Got it!
