No clue what I'm doing wrong

I am trying to learn AutoHotKey and I really have no clue why this code isn't working:

Code: Select all

bool := false

!+::
{
    bool := not bool
    if (bool) 
    SetInputLang(0x0409) 
    else
    SetInputLang(0x040d) 
}

AppsKey::SetInputLang(0x0408)
AppsKey up::
{
    if (bool) 
    SetInputLang(0x0409) 
    else
    SetInputLang(0x040d) 
}

SetInputLang(Lang)
{
    WinExist("A")
    ControlGetFocus, CtrlInFocus
    PostMessage, 0x50, 0, % Lang, %CtrlInFocus%
}

You can inspect examples here on the forum, and read the intro as well. Multi-line hotkey routines generally end in Return. Try a short and simple hotkey routine first, to get the hang of it. Once working, you can expand.

I don't have a way to test, but have you displayed the value of CtrlInFocus, to see if it is what you think it is?

There are also forum examples of working with the lang bar, in case helpful.

I've tried that and it's still not working...

Code: Select all

bool := true

!+::
bool := not bool
if (bool) 
    SetInputLang(0x0409) 
else
    SetInputLang(0x040d) 
return

AppsKey::SetInputLang(0x0408)
AppsKey up::
if (bool) 
    SetInputLang(0x0409) 
else
    SetInputLang(0x040d) 
return

SetInputLang(Lang)
{
    WinExist("A")
    ControlGetFocus, CtrlInFocus
    PostMessage, 0x50, 0, % Lang, %CtrlInFocus%
}

edit: the SetInputLang method is working as intended, I pretty much copy pasted it and I tested it separately.
