#IfWinExist gui Topic is solved

[Trigg]

Good morning fellow AHK'ers,

I'm trying to use #IfWinExist with my GUI to have active hotkeys only when the GUI is active, but unfortunately I'm not figuring out how to get this to work.

Also is it possible to have duplicate hotkeys while #IfWinExist is in affect or not.

Please advise, thank you!

Code: Select all

AOCoverage:
Gui, 2:+AlwaysOnTop +HwndAnalysisHandle +LastFound
Gui, 2:Add, Progress, % "x9 y9 w402 h137 +Disabled Background" . BorderColor . ""
Gui, 2:Add, Picture, x10 y10 w400 h135, %ThemeDir%\Analysis.jpg
Gui, 2:Font, S52 c%TextColor% Underline, Times New Roman
Gui, 2:Add, Text, x40 y150 w350 h80 +BackgroundTrans, ANALYSIS

Gui, 2:Add, Button, x150 y240 w100 h80 gFinal, Final

It sounds like you want to use #IfWinActive not #IfWinExist, you must also put #IF at the end of the context sensitive hotkeys.

Also it appears your code is missing some returns after labels, and Exit where a return should be?

However if you are using just those hotkeys with your GUI, might I suggest this instead:

My apologies, the reason was because they go to another part of the script "AnalysisStart:". But 2GuiEscape is something you just taught me so thank you !

I added the & and that worked. Thank you for clearing this up!

Did the Ampersand before the letter not work? that way you can get rid of the context hotkeys all together.

Edit, just saw your edit. Good to hear it works.
