Creating pop up window to select window

[s0gy]

Can someone please create or show me how to create a script where a pop up box comes up asking to select window with the hotkey ‘q’ and when q is clicked on a selected window get its data and store it in a variable called %id%

Thanks any help is appreciated!

Hello,

What is the full series of steps, starting at the beginning before anything has happened? Can you write them, step by step, in order?

Sure,

step 1 click a button which will then have a pop up window asking the user to input q on the window they would like to select, the user should close the popup,

step 2. the user will go to their selected window and click q’

step 3 the window id will be taken and stored in a valuable named ‘id’.

Thanks for the help.

select      := False
id          := 0
showID      := () => MsgBox(id, 'ID')
instruction := 'Type "q" over the target window.'

F3:: {
 Global select := True
 MsgBox instruction, 'Instructions', 64
 ToolTip instruction
}

F4::showID

#HotIf select
q:: {
 Global id, select := False
 MouseGetPos ,, &id
