Neither these codes are working-

WinMenuSelectItem, ahk_exe vlc.exe, , Subtitle, Add Subtitle File...

nor these codes are working-

Code: Select all

WinMenuSelectItem, ahk_exe vlc.exe, , 5&, 1&

I think it can be done by PostMessage command. But, I don't know how to use it. Please tell me how to open Add Subtitle file dialog box in VLC Media player. Thanks a lot.

Thanks dear boiler for your good reply. your codes are working but, could there be something more reliable and constant for this purpose? I think this can be done more effectively by PostMassage command. As by these codes I can open Enter new address to download dialog box in Internet Download Manager-

Code: Select all

PostMessage, 0x111, 32789,,, Internet Download Manager

Can something like this be not done in VLC too?

Please help. Thanks..

This should improve reliability:

Code: Select all

WinActivate ahk_class QWidget ahk_exe vlc.exe
WinWaitActive ahk_class QWidget ahk_exe vlc.exe
SendInput, !t
WinWait ahk_class QPopup ahk_exe vlc.exe
SendInput, s

You can follow this tutorial to try to find if there are messages that could be sent to that window via PostMessage to accomplish that.
