Newbie questions

Dear AutoHotkey experts,

this is the first time I'm using AutoHotkey. I don't have any programming experiences.
I was able to create the following code that, in general does what it should do:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
SendMode Input

F3::
Macro1:
Send, {F10}
WinActivate, Chart Studies for:
Sleep, 333
Click, 400, 260
Sleep, 10
Click, 725, 200
Sleep, 10
Click, 60, 430
Sleep, 10
Return

What it does is open a window with F10 (s. attached screenshot), clicks on item 13 (piv d), clicks the Hide button/checkmark and then clicks OK.

Here are my questions:
- the piv d study is not always at the place of item 13. It can also be further up or down. So, is there a way to "search for" and mark piv d instead of using the coordinates of the click command? If yes, how can this be done?
- is it possible to have the "actions" run in the background, meaning the window and marking of the items not being shown?

Thanks in advance for your help,
tobi

The second part of this video gives a nice explanation of selecting certain items from a control.
Autohotkey: a beginner's video guide
(So that should explain how to use window spy)

And for "Having actions run in the background" you can probably use the Control-type commands:
ControlClick
ControlFocus
ControlGet
etc. See: Alphabetical Command and Function Index
