Suggested clarification in documentation example Topic is solved

[JoeWinograd]

Not exactly a bug, but I think this is the best board for this post. If not, please move it to where it belongs...thanks!

This is Example #2 at WinMenuSelectItem:

Code: Select all

WinMenuSelectItem, Untitled - Notepad,, 1&, 2&

The 2& is supposed to be the Open menu pick, as shown in Example #1. That is correct for Notepad in Windows earlier than 10. But in Windows 10 and 11, Notepad has a New Window menu pick between New and Open, so this example would be:

Code: Select all

WinMenuSelectItem, Untitled - Notepad,, 1&, 3&

So, I suggest that this example provide clarification on the Open position depending on the Windows version, which is, more generally, a valuable caveat for using this method. That said, menu names can change, so method/example #1 has caveats, too. Regards, Joe

Thank you, Joe, for the suggestion.
I moved your post to our "Suggestions on documentation improvements" subforum.

Ah, thanks very much, gregster...did not notice that subforum sitting under Wish List...my bad. Cheers, Joe

Thanks for reporting. Changes added in PR #568.

Note: By default, on Windows 11, WinMenuSelectItem no longer works at all in conjunction with Notepad, since it is now a UWP app.

You're welcome, Ragnar, and thanks back at you for the fast fix...much appreciated! Thanks, too, for the heads-up on the W11/UWP issue...was not aware of that. Regards, Joe
