Webapp.ahk - Make web-based apps with AutoHotkey

Lol, nice one

Hello Joedf,

thank you for the additional build.

I have been playing about with it and all i can report at the moment is - when I move the links to the top of the page - it seems to work.

Something about where the Go To index links position on the page was made a difference.
Don't know if any of this makes sense - but i'll update should i fall into difficulty.

I do like the web app idea as i can use html and css to make colorful GUI's and buttons - im not very good with the normal ahk GUI's as they seem very complex to program.

And ive seen some very impressive and advanced GUI's but thet get broken when i change the wrong things

cheers
dan

Hmm weird... Don't worry, it was meant to help people just like you

Hey Joedf, this is pretty awesome.
One question though...any good way to stop that awful clicking coming from the web browser control?

[joedf]

I know... I wanted to find a way to fix that. I haven't found much... just some overly complicated docs....
If you do find something, definitely share it here. I'll integrate it.

However, you can manually turn it off here: http://thebackroomtech.com/2009/01/29/h ... -explorer/

Voila!

Make the DllCall after creation of __WebApp_ COM object.

Code: Select all

DllCall("urlmon\CoInternetSetFeatureEnabled"
	 ,"Int",  21 ; FEATURE_DISABLE_NAVIGATION_SOUNDS
	 ,"UInt", 0x00000002 ; SET_FEATURE_ON_PROCESS
	 ,"Int", 1)

[joedf]

Wow thanks!
I think I actually tried that, but I must have put it before the com object :p

Pretty dope, but I realised 'display: *;' doesn't work

[joedf]

what? what is that supposed to do?

[mmelon]

am i missing a way to eval() some code in the context of the gui/webpage? e.g wb.eval("alert('test');")

[joedf]

There's no need to use eval. What are you trying to achieve?

If you want to make a js alert message, see this example:
https://github.com/joedf/Webapp.ahk/blob/master/src/page2.html

If you want a message box with AHK, you can do something like:
<a href="#" onclick="AHK('Hello')">Show MsgBox</a> in the HTML file, and

Code: Select all

Hello() {
	MsgBox Hello from AHK :D
}

in the ahk file.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I wanted to execute JQuery in the UI from AHK events. I thought there would be a way to do execute js in the page from autohotkey. I am currently doing it like this, but i'm sure there is a neater way:

Code: Select all

if(buttonsActive == 0) {
		wb.Document.getElementById("scriptHolder").setAttribute("onClick","$('.status').html('on');$('.status').removeClass('inactive').addClass('active')")
		wb.Document.getElementById("scriptHolder").click()
		buttonsActive:=1
	} else {
		wb.Document.getElementById("scriptHolder").setAttribute("onClick","$('.status').html('off');$('.status').removeClass('active').addClass('inactive')")
		wb.Document.getElementById("scriptHolder").click()
		buttonsActive:=0
	}

Ahh I see, interesting.
After a little of tinkering, I got this for you. Seems to work pretty well

Say you have a javascript function you want to call (in your case, jQuery):

Code: Select all

myFunction = function(){
	return 13245;
}

You can call that function from AHK like so

Code: Select all

GetSecret() {
	window := getWindow() ; built-in function from Webapp.ahk
	MsgBox % window.myFunction() ;should display a MsgBox with the return result.
}

I presume you could execute jQuery functions using a similar approach.

TBH, I've no clue what this (obviously amazing) tool is about?? Am I'm right, that it would be possible to build an AHK Online Editor with that, eg. based on G33kDude's AHK CodeQuickTester?

Hi! I didn't understand what this script is supposed to do.. The purpose is to make guis using html and css? Or to make an app based on a existing website?

This was made in order to facilitate making scripts with html/js UIs. This is the related tutorial:

I guess I've stumbled over some awesome stuff again. Thx for your kind advise

[davebrny]

this might be a bit of a #UselessFactOfTheDay, but this works on linux/wine! i just said i'd try it out for shits n giggles and was very surprised it worked considering it uses ComObj (any of the other Com stuff ive tried hasnt worked so far).

the only thing i had to change in example.ahk was full path to the #Include Webapp.ahk, and change the zoomLevel since the text was really big.
this is a great bit of work anyway. its nice seeing a scroll bar for a change as well

@davebrny
Wow! neat! Thanks for letting me know
