do something on clipboard change Only for a program

[mirHadi]

Hello

I have potplayer running and I want to copy the subtitle to clipboard ( can be done!) and when the clipboard changes run a dictionary app and ...

but this method:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
OnClipboardChange("ClipChanged")
return

ClipChanged(Type) {
    ToolTip Clipboard data type: %Type%
    Sleep 1000
    ToolTip  ; Turn off the tip.
}

will be always active overally and whenever the clipboard changes, It runs.
I want this functionality only when the clipboard changes in potplayer focused and when it is minimized or closed I want clipboard changes do as usual.
hope It makes sense
thank you

Code: Select all

ClipChanged(Type){
	If !WinActive("ahk_exe potplayer.exe")  ; "!" means "NOT" in this case
		return  ; do nothing
	; otherwise:
	ToolTip Clipboard data type: %Type%
	Sleep 1000
	ToolTip ; Turn off the tip.
}

Use Window Spy to find the exact ahk_exe of the potplayer window.

I did that and It works kinda!

if WinActive...... working just fine. tooltips shows up.!
if !WinActive..... not working!!!

infact in potPlayer windot it copies the subtitle word on clipboard but nothing happens then.!

PS:: sorry my bad, It is working after I restarted Potplayer. thank you
