Deleting menu items when a Process Name is detected. Topic is solved

[XMCQCX]

Hi,
how to hide a menu item when a Process Name is not detected. Deleted Item1 when the variable "ProcessNameEXE" does not equal "Explorer.EXE" Why it's not working ? Any help is appreciated.

Code: Select all

Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item1, MenuHandler1
if (ProcessNameEXE != Explorer.EXE) {
Menu, MyMenu, Delete, Item1
}
Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item2, MenuHandler2
Return

MenuHandler1:
return

MenuHandler2:
return

MButton:: 
MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos, Window, ClassNN
WinGet, ProcessNameEXE, ProcessName, ahk_id %Window%
Msgbox, %ProcessNameEXE%
Menu, MyMenu, Show

In your script, the menu is only built once (at the top of the script) and it never changes. If you want the items to change, you need to check the process name and add/delete items accordingly every time before showing it. (That, and you're missing quotes for string comparison against "Explorer.EXE")

Code: Select all

MButton::BuildMyMenuAndShowIt()

BuildMyMenuAndShowIt(){
	Menu, MyMenu, Add   ;to avoid "menu does not exist" error with DeleteAll
	Menu, MyMenu, DeleteAll
	
	MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos, Window, ClassNN
	WinGet, ProcessNameEXE, ProcessName, ahk_id %Window%
	Msgbox, %ProcessNameEXE%
	
	Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item1, MenuHandler1
	if (ProcessNameEXE = "Explorer.EXE") {
		Menu, MyMenu, Delete, Item1
	}
	Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item2, MenuHandler2
	
	Menu, MyMenu, Show
}

MenuHandler1:
return
MenuHandler2:
return
