Make the script work only in a specific window

12 Apr 2020, 16:45

Hi. Nice to greet you.
Very recently, I started to study the AHK syntax a bit, mainly to make accessible some audio programs that are not well labeled for screen readers. I am in awe of the possibilities, and have already been able to do some simple scripts.
I want to see how to make keyboard shortcuts only work in the plug-in window, and not in another. To not trigger things by mistake outside that window. This is the code for something I have done to use a virtual instrument called Perfect Drum.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Cheers!

Code: Select all

SoundBeep, 440, 50
oSPVoice := ComObjCreate("SAPI.SpVoice")
oSpVoice.Rate := 5
oSpVoice.Volume :=75
oSpVoice.Speak("Script iniciado. Pulse f 1 Para la lista de comandos.")

Re: Make the script work only in a specific window

12 Apr 2020, 16:51

Hi,

Example:

Code: Select all

#if WinActive("ahk_class Notepad++")
1::
MsgBox, hello
return

#if
The MessageBox will only appear if you press 1 AND if you are in Notepad++.
Replace Notepad++ by your actual application.

Right click on the running AHK script (Green icon in the taskbar), go to "Window Spy", click on your application and check the AHK class.

Cheers!
Please use [code][/code] when posting code!
Keyboard: Logitech G PRO - Mouse: Logitech G502 LS - OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit - AHK version: 1.1.33.09
