script to open an image, depending on your active program problem

[autohotkeycool]

Im currently trying to use this script to open a specific image based on the program my mouse Is hovering over [eg if im hovering over “winword.exe” it should open “word.png” – but the problem is nothing happens when I do press the hotkey win+A – any idea whats wrong with the script?

Code: Select all

#a:: ; Win + A
    MouseGetPos,,, Hwnd
    WinGet, PN, ProcessName, % "ahk_id " Hwnd
    Msgbox % "Process name: " PN
    If (PN = "WINWORD.EXE")                                                        ; Specify the window title here.
    {
        Gui, +AlwaysOnTop
        Gui, Add, Pic, xm ym, C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Pictures\Hotkeys\Keyboard Hotkeys\Word.png
        Gui, Show
    }
    WinActivate % "ahk_id " Hwnd
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

Hello,

I just tested with notepad as the used process and it works

Perhaps this hotkey is used another program, so first try another hotkey e.g. F12,
You should at least see the MsgBox "Hotkey triggered"
Try to find the mistake in the path to your picture, like this:

Code: Select all

WordPicPath := "C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Pictures\Hotkeys\Keyboard Hotkeys\Word.png"
if (!FileExist(WordPicPath))
    MsgBox % "Can't find file WordPicPath = " . WordPicPath  
    
F12::
#a:: ; Win + A
    MouseGetPos,,, Hwnd
    WinGet, PN, ProcessName, % "ahk_id " Hwnd
    Msgbox % "Process name: " PN
    If (PN = "WINWORD.EXE")                                                        ; Specify the window title here.
    {
        Gui, +AlwaysOnTop
        Gui, Add, Pic, xm ym, % WordPicPath 
        Gui, Show
    }
    WinActivate % "ahk_id " Hwnd
    MsgBox Hotkey triggered
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

Thanks folks

if I wanted to make the image opened by a certain program what changed would you reocvmmend to the script? E.g. I'd like it to be opened by a program in folder

C:\PortableApps Platform\PortableApps\XnViewMP\xnviewmp.exe

Code: Select all

#a:: ; Win + A
    MouseGetPos,,, Hwnd
    WinGet, PN, ProcessName, % "ahk_id " Hwnd
    Msgbox % "Process name: " PN
    If (PN = "WINWORD.EXE")                                                        ; Specify the window title here.
    {
        Gui, +AlwaysOnTop
        Gui, Add, Pic, xm ym, C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Pictures\Hotkeys\Keyboard Hotkeys\Word.png
        Gui, Show
    }
    WinActivate % "ahk_id " Hwnd
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

E.g. Where should I add the "C:\PortableApps Platform\PortableApps\XnViewMP\xnviewmp.exe" so that the "word.png" image will be opened by xnviewmp.exe?
