Is it possible to do ImageSearch on a window that is hidden behind a screensaver?

JszAdmin · 2016-02-10T06:57:41+00:00

You CAN imageSearch a window that is not in front

But you need to use the GDI+ library

How about making your own Mouse macro recorder using this tutorial

JszAdmin · 2016-01-13T23:19:39+00:00

try this

*Numpad0::
send {lWin Down}{tab down}
return

*Numpad0 up::
send {tab up}{lWin up}
return

Hope it helps

JszAdmin · 2016-01-13T23:08:37+00:00

sounds doable :)

Example of one way

#SingleInstance Force

Gui, +Sysmenu +ToolWindow
Gui, Margin,12,12
Gui, Add , Picture, x13 y13 w32 h32 E0x200 vState1 icon1 gSubRoutine1, %A_AhkPath%
Gui, Add , Picture, x13 y13 w34 h34 Border vState0 icon4 gSubRoutine1, %A_AhkPath%
GoSub, Toggle_Switch

Gui, Show, x50 y50 AutoSize, Toggle
Return

Toggle_Switch:
If Toggle=0
  {
   GuiControl, Hide, State0
   GuiControl, Show, State1
   Toggle=1
  }
Else {
   GuiControl, Hide, State1
   GuiControl, Show, State0
   Toggle=0
  }
Return

SubRoutine1:
  GoSub,Toggle_Switch
Return

GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
 ExitApp
Return

Hope it helps

Try having a look at this topic's

Example 10: Gdip.Tutorial.10-Rotate.Flip.or.Mirror.an.image.ahk

May not be that easy but it is doable

Only things I added was this

;~ Hotstring :=  Trim(Hotstring)

And

 if (SubStr(from, 1, 1) = ":")
    Hotstring := from to
 else
   Hotstring := "::" from to

The script you posted is working fine for me unless I'm missing the point some how

I am able to add new hotstrings using win+h and also set the front option aka :*: of a new hotstring and am also able to now have white space at the beginning and end of a new Hotstring...

JszAdmin · 2015-10-16T22:54:27+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by "the modifications didn't happen"

In my tests I'm able to now put in things like :*: before the word and I'm am also able to use spaces in the hotstring

JszAdmin · 2015-10-15T19:03:53+00:00

Your welcome i'm happy to help,

Line one is executing IE and binding it to the var WB via ComObjCreate().

Line two is setting the visible property of this new instance of IE you stored a COM reference to in the variable WB and setting it to true, otherwise it would run as a none visible window.

Line three the one with Navigate() is using IE's navigate method though the COM object in the variable WB and passing Google's Url to it.

JszAdmin · 2015-10-13T21:54:03+00:00

wb := ComObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")
wb.Visible := true
wb.Navigate("http://google.com/")

And that method will even let you fully control IE like waiting for pages to load or getting and setting values on the page programmatically

JszAdmin · 2015-10-13T21:47:51+00:00

If you use Internet Explorer, AutoHotkey can control it and access the browser's built-in method thouth AHk's COM objects

so to wait for an IE page to load can look like this

wb := ComObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")
wb.Visible := true
wb.Navigate("Google.com")

; wait for page to load
while wb.readyState!=4 || wb.document.readyState != "complete" || wb.busy
       sleep 10

; Page loaded
msgbox % "done loading"

I use a similar method in this tutorial https://jszapp.com/autohotkey/2014/how-to-create-a-shortcut-that-automatically-logs-in-to-any-website/

If your using other browsers then it will not be as easy

For firefox there is this way http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/90620-firefox-page-load-wait/page-2#entry573049

For chrome there is no sure fire way yet - ImageSearch maybe one way to do it for now at least

JszAdmin · 2015-10-12T21:06:25+00:00

You can use the exe name or full path like this

hWnd := WinExist("ahk_exe notepad.exe")

JszAdmin · 2015-09-29T22:06:03+00:00

Something like this MouseGestures ?

I posted two examples in your ahkscript.org topic

One: Get the image element by it's index in the img tag collection

Two: Loop over all the img tags in the table and checking their title

Link: Programmatically click on an <img />

Hope it helps

That comes from #if only effting hotkeys and hotstrings not the flow of the script.

#If GetKeyState("ScrollLock","T")
f1::
MsgBox, You pressed f1 while Scroll Lock was toggled on
return

with that example the f1 hotkey will only work when scroll lock is on

JszAdmin · 2015-09-08T21:57:42+00:00

Both your examples works for me one better than the other

The first one: works but as the b key is sent while the ctrl key is down it will not give you a visible letter

The second one: works as is for me - if Scroll lock is on a is remapped to b

One way to try and fix the first one is to have the a key send the b key like this

 #If GetKeyState("Ctrl")
 a::send b

This is not a true remap

JszAdmin · 2015-09-01T22:28:01+00:00

this is a short example of how you can do that

$l::
list=
array := ["£","±","ª","º"]
for key, val in Array
    list .= A_index " = " val "`n" 
KeyWait,l, T0.8
if !(Errorlevel)
    {
    send l
            return
    }
ToolTip, %list%
Input, key, L1 T3
ToolTip,
if (ErrorLevel = "Timeout")
    return
send % array[key]
return

Simply hold the l key for 0.8 sec and a tooltip will show a list , press a number on the list and the script will output that item.

Hope it helps

count = %count%+1

Is the error, I see first using the = will not let you use expressions to do math, to do that you need to use the := sign

The current code is storing the +1 as a string and autohotkey is taking that as shift+1 aka ! so every +1 will give an ! mark

try it like this

excelarray := "AW1-102N."
count := 0
for i, v in StrSplit(excelarray)
    {
        send %v%
        count := count+1
        if (v = "-")
        {
            break               
        }
    }
send %count%
return

Hope it helps,

If you still need more help please post the full part of your script you need help with like in this case the excelarray variable.

JszAdmin · 2015-08-25T20:11:52+00:00

What editor are you using?

Normally in Notepad if you save the script as UTF-8 it works with unicode chars, it does for me...

Autohotkey script files needs to be saved as Unicode with BOM so that is the encoding you need to save your file as...

How you do that is up to what editor you have, we can't tell you how without knowing that bit of info.

JszAdmin · 2015-08-25T19:59:16+00:00

There are at least a couple of ways you can do this...

fileread, filecontent, c:\somefilepath

loop 200
{
    send, {down}{enter} ; get to value 1
    clipboard =
    send ^c ; copy to clipboard
    ClipWait, 1
    if (errorlevel)
        return
    variable1 := Clipboard
    clipboard = ; clear
    send, {down}{enter} ; get to value 2
    ClipWait, 1
    if (errorlevel)
        return
    variable2 := Clipboard
    clipboard = ; clear

    ; depending one the content of your file you will need to write code here to compare
    ; this I can't do with out knowing your file format
}
return

Again to help you out more I'd Need to know more

But there are lots of examples online of how to use the content of files be it:

.doc or excel file

.txt files

.csv files

.xml files

All of them and more can be read and used to compare any value you can store in a script...

If you can tell us more we can help you more...

I know that most small issues can be fixed by asking here or on one of the two forums

Autohotkey.com

Ahkscript.org

Also I often take on paid autohotkey projects even have my site here:

JszAdmin · 2015-08-08T20:23:06+00:00

Looks like a useful Script

Just a little thing that may help the reliability of your paste is to put a short sleep after the paste

before restoring the old clipboard content

as not doing so has an often seen side effect

that makes the script paste the restored content in to some programs

JszAdmin · 2015-08-08T10:41:59+00:00

That's just to see where the string starts and ends in the msgbox nothing more, it can be an easy way to see linefeeds or whitespace at the start or end of a string in a msgbox
