start initiation of other ahk files

[mgroen]

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to "jump" to script code in another script (.ahk file)?

for example:

Code: Select all

^j::	
Run, notepad.exe
;initiate call to type_text.ahk
MsgBox, Done!
return

Also, I would like to know if it's possible to jump to a specific point in another script?

afaik you can use the run command to run the AHK script, just like you did with notepad.

that works. Thanks

Another idea is that one script uses PostMessage/SendMessage, and the other script handles OnMessage.

That is new to me. Could you give me an example? (I am pretty new to AutoHotkey)

Here's an example.

Code: Select all

;script1.ahk
q::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
SetTitleMatchMode, 2 ;Contains
if !hWnd := WinExist("\script2.ahk ahk_class AutoHotkey")
	return
PostMessage, 0x5555, 1,,, % "ahk_id " hWnd ;WM_COMMAND := 0x111
Sleep, 5000
PostMessage, 0x5555, 2,,, % "ahk_id " hWnd ;WM_COMMAND := 0x111
return

;script2.ahk
OnMessage(0x5555, "MsgMonitor")
MsgMonitor(wParam, lParam, uMsg, hWnd)
{
	MsgBox, % wParam " " lParam " " uMsg " " hWnd
	Func%wParam%()
}
Func1()
{
	MsgBox, % A_ThisFunc
}
Func2()
{
	MsgBox, % A_ThisFunc
}
