Running volume mixer

[Qwerty-Space]

Hello!

I'm trying to run volume mixer with the command Win+V and place it just above the tray/clock area like it would when you open it normally. So far what I've got opens it to the default position of the left hand side of the screen.

Code: Select all

; Volume Mixer

#v::Run C:\Windows\System32\SndVol.exe
if WinExist("ahk_exe SndVol.exe")
    WinActivate, ahk_exe SndVol.exe
WinMove, ahk_exe SndVol.exe, 1620, 1000

How can I get this to work? Thanks.

Hi Qwerty-Space and welcome to the forum

This execute only the run Command

Code: Select all

Try this

Code: Select all

#v::
Run C:\Windows\System32\SndVol.exe
WinWait, ahk_exe SndVol.exe
If WinExist("ahk_exe SndVol.exe")  
    WinActivate, ahk_exe SndVol.exe
WinMove, ahk_exe SndVol.exe,, 1620, 1000                 ;     <<-- NOTE need another "," 
Return

Hi ... here I am to revive this awesome thread ... ... thank you so much for the script on how to show the volume mixer; it is working well for me.

How would I go about changing the script so that when I used the hotkey again, it would then *hide* the volume mixer?

I use a similar script to show/hide desktop icons and it is mapped to WIN-F9 ... if I hit WIN-F9 then the icons will be hidden and if I hit WIN-F9 again, they will then re appear.

Could I do something similar with the show volume mixer script?

Here is the code that I use to show/hide desktop icons (Win 11):

Code: Select all

F10::

ControlGet, HWND, Hwnd,, SysListView321, ahk_class Progman
If HWND =
ControlGet, HWND, Hwnd,, SysListView321, ahk_class WorkerW
If DllCall("IsWindowVisible", UInt, HWND)
WinHide, ahk_id %HWND%
Else
WinShow, ahk_id %HWND%

Return

Thanks for any tips...
