Adding in Focused Control

[aweinberg]

How do I add focused control to my script, so it only works in the area? I got the focus control info from window spy.

ClassNN: DroverLord - Window Class77
Text: DroverLord - TabPanel Window
x: 782 y: 1379 w: 2849 h: 699
Client: x: 769 y: 1302 w: 2848 h: 699

My script is below:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force
#Warn ClassOverwrite
SendMode Input
SetBatchLines -1
SetTitleMatchMode 2

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe Adobe Premiere Pro.exe


c::
send, c
keywait, c
return ;  <<<<< this, too, to separate the hotkeys

c up::
send,v
return

[aweinberg]

Here is my poor attempt that does not work

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
c::
send, c
keywait, c
return  

c up::

Process, Exist, DroverLord - Window Class77
;msgbox errorLevel `n%errorLevel%
	If errorLevel = 0
		Send v, 
return
	else
	return

Use ControlGetFocus. Note also that you should put a $ in front of the first hotkey to keep the Send, c line from triggering the hotkey itself.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
$c:: ; $ prevents the next line from triggering this hotkey
send, c
keywait, c
return  

c up::
ControlGetFocus, FocusedCtrl , ahk_exe Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
if (FocusedCtrl = "DroverLord - Window Class77")
	Send, v ; I assume you meant 'Send, v' and not 'Send v,' like you had
return

For future reference, you have to group multiple lines after an if statement with { }, so this part of your code would have looked like this:

Code: Select all

If errorLevel = 0
{
	Send, v
	return
}
else
	return

Although the first return and the else part isn’t needed since you want the return to happen in either case. It can just be:

Code: Select all

If errorLevel = 0
	Send, v
return

Thanks boiler and appreciate the explanation.

I keep getting errors how have I formatted my if else statement.

Code: Select all

	hideDescription(hwnd, keybind)
	{
		

{ControlGetFocus, FocusedCtrl , ahk_exe Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
If (FocusedCtrl = "Chrome_WidgetWin_01")
	return
	
	else
	
PremiereTooltip.isPremiereActive()
			{Send v }
			return
			
	}
}

You are not understanding how to use { }. You have them haphazardly placed. You’re not using them to group multiple statements as are their purpose, while also incorrectly wrapping them around a single command and placing them where they are not needed at all. It looks like you intended it to be this:

Code: Select all

hideDescription(hwnd, keybind)
{
	ControlGetFocus, FocusedCtrl , ahk_exe Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
	If (FocusedCtrl = "Chrome_WidgetWin_01")
		return
	else
	{	
		PremiereTooltip.isPremiereActive()
		Send v
		return
	}
}

I assume there is other code not shown. Also, if that’s meant to be a function, it’s not making use of the parameters it is passed.

Thanks again, appreciate the help i added }} to the end and now it works.
