Hide/Show a GUI Window Topic is solved

[irosan]

Hey,

For the last few hours I have not been able to find out how I can perform a certain function with AHK.

I have a crosshair script with a GUI Window and I do want to hide that Window when Right Mouse Button is pressed, and to show that Window again when the Right Mouse Button is released. I have tried it out with this:

Code: Select all

~RButton::
    While, GetKeyState("RButton", "P")
    {
    Gui, crosshair:Hide
    }
Return

~RButton up::
Gui, crosshair:Show
return

and it does it partially: the function is there, but somehow it does block the playing in game (I am not sure, but I do assume that the conflict is there because of the command "AlwaysOnTop", cuz if I go desktop and back... the game is ok, until I do use the Right Mouse again. The Toogle works fine (it does not block the game while used).


The crosshair script I did found here: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=296138#p296138

Can someone help me to resolve this problem?

This probably doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but I don't see a reason why you are continuously executing the Hide in a loop. It would work just hiding it upon the press and showing it on the release as demonstrated here:

Code: Select all

Gui, +AlwaysOnTop
Gui, Add, Text, y80 w150 h100 Center, Test GUI
Gui, Show
return

~RButton::
    Gui, Hide
Return

~RButton up::
	Gui, Show
return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

Thank you for your comment. But, the problem is still there. After using RButton, can´t move ingame. Need to go to desktop and back, or with alt tab switch between the windows to get back into game.

You can avoid activation if needed.

Code: Select all

Gui, Show, NoActivate

Explained: Gui, Show

Thank you very much. That was the solution. Now it does works as it shall. Also big thanks to boiler for correcting the code.

The correct addition to the mentioned script is (for all future visitors who are interested) :

Code: Select all

~RButton::
    Gui, crosshair:Hide
Return

~RButton up::
    Gui, crosshair:Show, NoActivate
