Re: SetTimer help on Period wrong

" Call " is a good word; you convinced me. My reasoning about precision &c. applies to "call" just the same. Let's use "call" throughout instead of "jump". " Enabled " of course doesn't mean " reset ". But the distinction is imposed by language, not by program logic. From the user's perspective, the...

Re: SetTimer: Get "time it was last run"

Thanks! The reason I was asking was that I just submitted a change to SetTimer.htm and wanted to add a note about if it existed. Maybe a link to the discussion and your workaround might be appropriate, too, but that page is a discussion page, and the links out of the help I've seen so far went to so...

SetTimer: Get "time it was last run"

SetTimer.htm#Remarks mentions the internal "time it was last run". Is there a way to retrieve that?

Re: SetTimer help on Period wrong

OK, I set up a new account (Micromegas2016) and I'm ready to do the change. Thinking about the wording now. Instead of "touched" I will use "enabled", since that term is already used in that sense. --- I now submitted it in the patch-1 branch. Please note that I submitted two versions, the second on...

Re: SetTimer help on Period wrong

Thank you for your nice reply. I would like to contribute via GitHub, since I need more practice with that. But I can't log in – I thought I had an account with the same username there, and there is indeed one, but it recognizes neither my password nor e-mail. I'll have to continue this tomorrow. I ...

Re: SetTimer help on Period wrong

Thank you for the clarification. Strike "incomplete", then, and replace it with "... uses misleading terminology". Instead of "time it was last run", something like "time it was last touched", would have avoided the confusion for me. (It's OK if the term is less concrete; that prevents people from m...

Re: SetTimer help on Period incomplete

Yes, I was using a negative period. Obviously it can't count from the last time the label subroutine was started if it hasn't ever been started. OK, I see the confusion. So the manual is not wrong, but incomplete, since it leaves this basic case undefined. Because that didn't occur to me, I replaced...

SetTimer help on Period wrong

Currently, SetTimer.htm reads: "Period: Creates or updates a timer using this parameter as the approximate number of milliseconds that must pass since the last time the Label subroutine was started." However, in the case of updating a timer, the time must pass since the timer has been updated, not s...

Why, yes, you can do lots of things that are described in the help page. But please keep in mind that the OP is a beginner; a simple question wants a simple answer.

Re: windowtitle (multiple name?) Topic is solved

Yes. The command you want to use is GroupAdd. Its description at https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/GroupAdd.htm has the following example:

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode, 2 
GroupAdd, mail, Reminder 
GroupAdd, mail, - Microsoft Outlook

Re: WinWait and WinWaitActive

Sorry, my bad; you expressed yourself clearly. Maybe it's possible to get data from an inactive form, but I don't see why that makes a big difference to you (since you're activating the window anyway, I can't see any reason other than performance, but the activation should take less than the creatio...

Great, thanks! I just tried FileGetProperties and I love it - it's something I can use for other purposes too, and it's fast enough, at roughly 20ms execution time.

Re: GIF Fullscreen Background in my Gui

First I was thinking that you could have it easier: I don't see why you need to use the MSHTML tags when AHK already has a Gui, Add, Pic command, with a nice example ("Example: Simple image viewer"). But that one, too doesn't stretch out to the whole canvas: Even if you specify *x0 , there's still a...

Get image dimensions from JPEG or PNG file Topic is solved

I'm wondering if there is any code available to retrieve the dimensions of a JPEG or PNG file. Something like this exists for other languages, e.g. VB.NET at http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=9102. I could port that to AHK, but it has over 300 LOC, which is an effort I would like to avoid. (...

Not if you recall that the OP spoke of a two-digit amount of seconds. I don't know how long the OP's text is, but even with the Jabberwocky text I got about 7 seconds for SendRaw.

Re: GIF Fullscreen Background in my Gui

This is not a question for AHK, but for MSHTML. You need to tell the tag to extend to that size by adding something like width="1080" height="4970".

Re: Winwait and winwaitactivate

Logically, I assume you need WinWaitActivate - what good is clicking on a button when the window isn't active?
