what does "get the menu message code" mean?
if u want to show the right-click menu, it looks like its just a window thats hidden/shown, so

Code: Select all

DetectHiddenWindows On
WinShow ahk_class Qt5QWindowPopupDropShadowSaveBits

would reveal it

I want to get wm_command message

why? what do u think/expect sending a WM_COMMAND is gonna help u with?
whats written in the docs may be true(although it doesnt have to be) of native windows apps, written standard old school win32 fashion. what u have here is not a standard win32 app. if the devs didnt bother implementing windows message support(which they obviously havent as indicated by the clear lack of any relevant messages being captured), then theres nothing u can do using Send-/PostMessage()

How to operate menu items ?

• if the app is active, send the appropriate shortcut key combination
• if it isnt active and yet u still want to control it programmatically without activating it, u dont have many options:
  • ask the devs to implement windows message support(unlikely that theyll bother since the app is clearly meant to be cross-platform, so implementing something for windows exclusively might as well be considered a waste of time as it wont be applicable to the other 2 platforms)
  • prod MSAA/UIA for default actions u can trigger(although its very unlikely this has been implemented either - see point above)
  • reverse the app, find out what functions are being called after clicking a menu item, program an injectable dll hooking those functions
