Shortcut for calc.exe, making the shortcut work inside the programme [SOLVED]

Hi, sorry for the long title. A bit hard to describe.
I don't know any scripting so please bear with me.

After snooping around on the forums and in the Help file I've found a nice little working script for opening calc.exe:

Code: Select all

NumpadDiv::
IfWinNotActive Kalkulator
Run calc.exe
return

I have IfWinNotActive to try tro make the key work in Calculator for dividing (and also not to open another instance of it). But right now it doesn't work as divide in the programme, when the script is running. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you!

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

#If !WinActive("ahk_class CalcFrame")
NumpadDiv::
Run calc.exe
return
#If

Hi!
Thank you, but that unfortunately brings up another instance of Calc when it's already running.
What is the #if command at the end for?

Hey, so I worked it out!
With a little help from you I made some edits to my file and it worked out great!

Code: Select all

#IfWinNotActive Kalkulator
NumpadDiv::
Run calc.exe
return
#If

Danke schön!

Spoiler

I still don't know what the #If at the end is for, but it's working!

The second #f is the close context sensitivity for the hotkey that's it. It's not required because all there is in your script is one hotkey, but rohwedder assumed that you have more than that to add to the script in the future.
