Exe with custom icon

[TheInvoker]

Hello i need to create an executable that does a simple command (ctri+alt+???)
I don't know where to start from. i just tried to write the command in the script and then compile it, but it doesn't work so i''m here to ask for help.

I also need to change the icon of the exe because i need 4 of them and they have to be different

Hi, try posting the general code you want in your script and people can help with that.

For the icon you will use the "Custom Icon" parameter in Ahk2Exe when compiling. You'll need .ico files for this (not sure if other formats work here).

well i need
ctrl+alt+1/2/3/4 (4 different key combinations)

i need those to change double monitor settings (Monitor 1, Monitor 2, Extended, Duplicated)

i can also change the key combinations if necessary

Here's how to setup the hotkeys:

Code: Select all

^!1::
msgbox, hit ctrl+alt+1
return

^!2::
msgbox, hit ctrl+alt+2
return

^!3::
msgbox, hit ctrl+alt+3
return

^!4::
msgbox, hit ctrl+alt+4
return

As for changing the monitor settings internally I am not sure how to do this.
heres a thread i found: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=21302 but i'm not sure how useful it will be

you can try searching this forum for more examples with ChangeDisplaySettingsEx or perhaps someone else can assist on how to change the display settings.
