once or every day at 20:00? untested example but I use this function a lot: SetTimer, PressKeyAtExactly200000, % -Until("200000") ;run once at the next 20:00 Until(Time="000000",Units="ms") { ;2016 gwarble FormatTime, _, %A_Now%, yyyyMMdd ;returns ms until time _ .= Time EnvSub, _, %A_Now%, s If (_ ...

makes sense... thanks for the explanation

edit: I was able to get the same result with a simple test script and default WaitSecs:=10
I will try setting the default to 100 and see if the problem reoccurs

gwarble

thanks for sharing...
setting WaitSecs to 0 or 1 gives undesired results on two computers, Win7 and Win10 both Ahk U32, where explorer doesn't start back up... Not sure if there is a chase condition going on but I will try to test it on a super slow computer with higher times

gwarble

thanks, very useful and clever solution!

gwarble

good point, he’s definitely on another level (thanks for everything SKAN)

for the buttons i would recommend looking into class ImageButton for the most aesthetically pleasing results

gwarble

thanks for the detailed explanation, sounds like a great reason to me (and i love passion projects especially with nostalgia) in my screensaver I'm able to read that file without issue and without admin rights, which should mean you can copy it to a temp folder where you have write access and then r...

gwarble

very cool, can i ask why?

unless things have changed since 7, look for a file TranscodedWallpaper.jpg that you can backup and restore

Thanks for the feedback... There is some misbehaving with RDP and VNC connections because of the way the window is accepting input and passing it along to the remote session. The best workaround I've found has been to actually revert back to the method I used in v0.1 of swapping mouse buttons, via h...

i don't have an answer for your question, but maybe solve your problem a different way

i think there is a wmic way and a powershell way, but i think this is still supported:

Code: Select all

Run, rasdial vpnname
sleep, 30000
Run, rasdial vpnname /disconnect

I would recommend using the GDI+ library (gdip.ahk, or gdip_all.ahk) directly and avoiding the resample.dll altogether if all its doing is GDI+ anyway. Gdip_SetInterpolationMode(G, 7) will give pretty good results, but I would try the other interpolation modes 2,3,4,6 and compare

gwarble

you mentioned you made sure that your compiled script wasn't running, but check if "AutoHotkey.exe" is also running by chance and if so, end it

nevermind, if you restarted and its still doing it then I agree it must be some other software or hardware

gwarble

going back to your original method, Tech%ServiceW%++ doesn't really make sense (what does the ++ apply to?)

you probably want this instead:

Code: Select all

ServiceW++
Tech%ServiceW%

your variable names will always begin with the text "Tech" this way...

nice, thanks for sharing i would have assumed the order of the bookmarks would be the order created since word doesn’t give you an option to reorder them if this is unpredictable you could iterate through them all and use Bookmark.Range.Start to find the one closest to your current cursor position o...

Everyone is different, but I learn by trying to accomplish tasks and then improving piece by piece. This isn't a very basic task, so start with something basic that you waste time doing (like maybe writing the same email every week or filling out a form every visit). The Ask for Help forum will be u...

Thats the real problem with aggressive false positives, people are now clicking through and accepting on things without even thinking about it because you have to do the same thing for clearly legitimate programs! grr

gwarble

Sorry all, these false positive virus problems are driving me away from even wanting to bother!! its a good thing I don't make a living off this

Please report issues to Google/Microsoft/Antivirus Vendor as well because I don't think they listen to me

gwarble

my advice would be to learn to use AutoHotkey, all of that should be possible but its very niche/unique end user base so you’re never going to get the customizability you would if you understand a few basic things the code is doing it and tweak away from there as for your ideas, all seem useful for ...

gwarble

yeah I agree its probably managing startup and shutdown of GDI+ a little more carefully, I havent had a chance to dig into it yet.

I will keep adding to this functionality and share what I like, its already proved useful on two machined parts today!

I was also playing around with the crosshair before you click once ctrl+alt is held: add to script: ^Alt:: Compass.Crosshair() Return add to class: Crosshair() { if (this.Lines.MaxIndex() < 1) { ; If there are no existing lines, start GDIP this.GetWinArea() this.GDIP_Start() this.GDIP_Setup() } Coor...

Replace the static variables with this (mainly add a Cross variable, I set some defaults how I'd want): static Color1 := 0x55000000, Color2 := 0x990066ff, Lineweight1 := 1 , ScaleFactor := 1., Units := "pixels", Snap := true, Cross := 20 and replace this function: GDIP_DrawLine(StartX, CurrentX, Sta...
