I might be wrong, but it seems to me that FindChildWindow() has dependencies with GetClassNN(), GetClassNN_EnumChildProc() which do not seem to incuded.
Versions of them may be found here https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/85114-detecting-new-child-window/ - I'm not sure if they are correct though.

So I sorted out the issues I was having in SciTE4AHK by changing the Send statements to SendEvent. I always start a new script with the AHK new script default header which includes: SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability. But this seemed to break the f...

How can I get my Scite4Autohotkey to show the corners like notepad? I used notepad to save my CommentBox() script as unicode, then I tested on Scite4Autohotkey and the unicode characters are replaced by ansi characters. In Scite4Autohotkey, for the document, check the menu setting File / Encoding. ...

So I would recommend checking if you selected from behind the commenting character until the end of the last line. I have tested this on VSCode and works great, for notepad I just have to add an `r every line break. I would like to know if this funtionality replicates on your machine, and if it doe...

Ha! Nice trick, thanks!

I only got it to work properly a few times though. There's some unreliability somewhere... sometimes noting happens, sometimes I get the output: Would be great to firm it up!

YoucefHam, I appreciate your reply, but this looks like another way to run the script as admin, and no solution to my OP query with regards to WMI only seeing non-elevated processes unless the script itself is elevated?
thanks

Hello All I've been wrestling with a small issue for a while, tinkering and searching for hints hasn't revealed the answer. Maybe someone can educate me directly? :) I use the following function often to check for the presence of several different processes (and versions). CheckProcess() { local Res...

HEY SWAGFAG & HELGEF Thanks a lot for the information. You pointed me to a path that resulted in a happy resolution by doing a SendMode Event before each MouseMove (and back to SendMode Input after it) in Script 2. I must admit the SendMode's have been a very fuzzy area for me as I tend to use AHK m...

Hello Community Wondering if anyone can shed light on my issue. In this usage case I have two different scripts active. Script 1 invokes #InstallMouseHook and a HotKey. If Script 1 is active, Script 2's operations with MouseMove are severly impeded. The "mouse moves" several factors slower if Script...

Hello. I have been registered for sometime with username potscrubber. I can't create a new topic in Ask for Help - when I hit post, I get a blank white page in Firefox, and an internal server 500 error in IE. I've tried multiple times over many days. Thanks!

Hello Helgef . I didn't quite write the way you did first time, but using your code above I get err returning -9996 which means Invalid device. That's the other common result I've had apart from exceptions. But thanks for the suggestion. I will keep tinkering, you may have set me on the right path. ...

Hi Helgef Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. When I try ptr* I get the access violation exception that I mentioned before. I've tried dozens of combinations in the past, but as you can tell, I'm stabbing in the dark as I don't fully understand data types and memory pointers. If you did want to...

Hello AHK guru's I have a pretty good background with ahk macro's and app manipulations. I have delved into DllCall's for some basic tasks and got things happening. AHK is great! I have hit a wall with this though. I am querying the well known PortAudio audio I/O library. I can initialize it, and ge...
