Very interesting

Seems really great JoeDF!
I was looking at the example, can you tell me what is __Webapp_AppStart:?

[joedf]

Unfortunately, some weird initialisation is needed.
The label is there to force the auto run of the user's main script. :b

hrmmmmmm very interesting

originally i was confused about the description. i was hoping that i could run AHK code through a normal webbrowser. i guess the webserver would need to be able to deploy AHK code somehow. i guess that other AHKhttp server might do that

as i understand this, the AHK script loads the activex browser, which then runs code through javascript

[Ronins]

well there might be a way to do this. You can collect the AHK script/code from the browser, run it through AutoHotkey.dll (or DynaRun by AutoHotkey_H), and then print the result in StdOut back to browser.

[joedf]

Yes,
It simplifies the work for setting up the js <-> AHK interaction. I am not exactly sure how to describe it
You could "connect" a whole bunch of things: ahkhttp, ahk_h, or whatever. It's really more to use the browser as an interface or GUI.

Hi,

thank you for this nice GUI,

is there a way to go back to the main Interface page?

On page 1 and 2 the html - it has the link to GoTo Index - ie main page , but for some reason this does not work.

It works if you open the html files in a browser,

I wanted to click it within the GUI

cheers

Dan

[joedf]

Really that's weird... I just tested it and it is working.
What version of AHK are you using? What is your system? OS?

[Dan]

hI joedf,

yes, that is strange all else seems to be working.

I have not changed anything.

I have windows 10 64

Autohotkey 64.

[joedf]

you mean ahk v1.1.24.01?

[Dan]

Hi Joedf,

I think i found a clue.

in the index file i did this - added a new page
<ul>
<li><a href="page1.html">Example page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="page2.html">Example page 2</a></li>

<li><a href="page3.html">Hello</a></li>

</ul>

Thats when it stopped working the go back to home page.

[Dan]

hi,

yes msgbox % "my ahk version: " A_AhkVersion

gave the one you just showed above
dan

[joedf]

Hmmm.. that should be fine...
What about your AHK script?

[Dan]

i dont have a ahk script yet I was investigating the sample Example,

so i added a link to see, I am a complete newbie so just testing things.

I only added that link to the index file - nothing else

Damn I was to slow, wanted to make a bad joke about the 64 thing, I even made a promotional scatter plot using an as of yet not released version of SVGraph.

Spoiler

[joedf]

Try this special build maybe?
