function timeouts: remove '0 is the same as specifying 0.5'

There are around 8 functions with a timeout parameter, with a stipulation such as: Specifying 0 is the same as specifying 0.5. I would make 0 mean 0 in AHK v2. The reasons for this proposal: - Simplicity. - Consistency across functions with a timeout parameter. Not having to remember which treat 0 l...

Re: Regex assistance

I think you just want \K , so, the info before the \K is used for searching, but not output in the result. Also, you could use [^(] instead of . , to select consecutive characters, but exclude open parentheses. before/after/after: \b\w+\((.*)\)(?=\s*=>) \b\w+\K\((.*)\)(?=\s*=>) \(([^(]*)\)(?=\s*=>)

Re: Is there is a way to tell if the desktop is visible?

If the desktop is active then the active window has class Progman or WorkerW. However, that may not be sufficient. What if the desktop is the active window, but an inactive window (e.g. Notepad) is taking up most of the screen. (And as you mentioned, if the taskbar is active, there may be inactive w...

Re: Feeling Stupid, Need a little push in right direction

I think you want this:

Code: Select all

;before:

GoSub Brush ; Picks a brush

Return

}

;after:

GoSub Brush ; Picks a brush

}

Return
Otherwise the loop stops after the first iteration.

Re: static_cast<char> command for autohotkey

When translating code from other languages to AHK, you don't have to translate line for line, AHK can often do things more simply: vText := "abc" Loop Parse, vText MsgBox, % A_LoopField " " Ord(A_LoopField) asc(substr(name,i-1,1)) That's probably about right. Note: Ord is more forwards compatible th...

Re: Array-related terminology: values vs. elements

I like Christophe's answer , or rather, he hints at the right questions. In simple terms, an element is a thing. Is the key name and value, one thing, or, is the value, one thing (with the key name being largely irrelevant). I think it's better to say that the key name and value are one thing. If we...

Re: Array-related terminology: values vs. elements

From reading that Stack Overflow link , it looks like 'element' may be commonly used in a specific PHP context, but that it is unusual to use 'element' in that way in other programming languages. I think of it like this (although perhaps others have a different interpretation): folder/file/file name...

I believe that this code will do what you want, but it's always good to double-check.

Possibly, as a workaround, you could write some custom code at the top of script, in place of #SingleInstance force.
