need help applying awesome code to my own Topic is solved

[yawikflame]

Hi there
i have seen a very cool script that allows you to open a ToolTip that opens after briefly holding down the middle mouse button and was hoping to apply the same functionality to my improvised interface that opens all kinds of things on my pc.
my interface is made out of GUI commands while the ToolTip is made as a menu which confuses me.
in simple words: i'd like to open my GUI as a ToolTip, from the last position of the mouse, just as the menu does, but keep all the buttons i have there and the pictures(with links) too.

my code:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, force

So Rajat's code is like doing something blind. It creates a tooltip that is effectively an "image". It then captures the mouse location when you click. It will take that coordinate to calculate which part of the "image" your mouse was over, and run code based on that.

Your GUI is more interactive than that. What you can do is change where the Gui, Show command's coordinate are based on those returned by MouseGetPos (using CoordMode, Mouse, Screen), as part of an MButton hotkey. Additionally, you may want to remove the ExitApps and just use a Gui, Hide command.

First of all, Thank you very much for the quick and insightful reply @Exaskryz!
Second, i would greatly appreciate further explanation on the practical part of the change in my code.
I've added this part of the hotkey you mentioned:

Code: Select all

~MButton::
HowLong = 0
Loop
{
    HowLong ++
    Sleep, 10
    GetKeyState, MButton, MButton, P
    IfEqual, MButton, U, Break
}
IfLess, HowLong, %UMDelay%, Return

but you lost me at the part of coordinates returned by MouseGetPos as part of that hotkey.

Code: Select all

Gui, Hide

command successfully applied.

thank you very much again!

[yawikflame]

made it!
it took me a while to figure out each part of your recommendations but finally cracked it!

the code:

Code: Select all

UMDelay = 20
~MButton::
HowLong = 0
Loop
{
    HowLong ++
    Sleep, 10
    GetKeyState, MButton, MButton, P
    IfEqual, MButton, U, Break
}
IfLess, HowLong, %UMDelay%, Return
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
MouseGetPos, mX, mY
Gui, Show, x%mX% y%mY% w300 h300, `tGui, -AlwaysOnTop
Gui, color, Black
Gui, Add, Picture, x0 y0 w1000 h600, C:\Users\yawik\Desktop\AHK\yawik\Interface.jpg
return

thanks a lot mate!
