Thanks, indeed with Enter it works. And my mistake to make a simple test! The issue is that I needed a shift TAB, however Notepadd++ does not record a shift Tab, so it is being send after all. I am a bit confused what to use in the Press command: Key names and/or System Variables? The latter lists, ...

I cannot get the following script to work. The shiftKey_Var_1 variable is set to the right value, but nothing appears to happen in the notepad window. Any suggestion? // setfocus>t.txt* gosub>shiftKey,LF Exit srt>shiftKey press shift let>PRESS_ALLOWVARS=1 press shiftKey_Var_1 let>PRESS_ALLOWVARS=0 r...

Sometimes debug mode interferes with script execution. For example when a Firefox add-on dialogue disappears as soon as debug becomes active. Inserting messages is an alternative. The following builds on that alternative. It collects message-texts and displays that collection at a chosen point(s) in...

I investigated this a little further. The getCaretPos works in word, excel, outlook and powerpoint, but not in oneNote. So it might be a Microsoft issue?

When I try to retrieve the relative caret position of OneNote, I always get 0,1. (Absolute returns the top left corner of the OneNote window.). Appreciate any help with the code below to make it working. SetFocus>OneNote:* wait>0.5 GetCursorPos>nXPos,nYPos,csType GetCaretPos>nXPosR,nYPosR,1 mdl>%nXP...

This morning another hit. And I think I know what's causing this. When I start a macro by a hot key, MS in the system tray shows a message like 'running name macro'. As long as that is active the empty window name may turn up. Have not tested it thoroughly though.

My experience these last days is that the issue is intermittent. For example, if no window is open, the program manager should be the active window, at least that is what I get most times. Sometimes, however, I don't get Program Manager, and as described before, I get a empty string as the active wi...

Indeed step 1 to 6 is what I also did. Thanks again for testing. Glad I could help to make your computers up to date :-) . I tried some MS older version, all same result on win 8.1/Surface pro 2. However,....... I changed the script a little and now it always displays the window name (except the MS ...

Thanks for trying. I tested your script on windows 7. Same result, does not display a process name after the first time. (That first time is OK.)

I suspect the window (Notepad for example) doesn't have focus the second time around. The following code uses the Window_NewActive Event handler to grab window information each time a different window becomes active. If you run the following, does the message ever fail to provide the title and leng...

I hope I'm not missing the point here... but... I ran this once, with a blank Notepad doc selected, and it gave me : active=<Untitled - Notepad> length=18 Running it a second time immediately gave me : active=<> length=0 When MessageModal pops up, it takes the focus. It doesn't return the focus to ...

Version 1.5 includes interactive editing of the result

The code below sometimes does not get the name of the active window. Sometimes, meaning if I start notepad, then run the code by hot key, all is fine. When I try it a second time (after activating notepad) there is no window title, length is 0. This happened 'suddenly' probably from last week on. No...

Isn't that the same issue as in the on click event thread? When I took the disable event handler out of the event handler itself, it worked. see: http://www.mjtnet.com/usergroup/disable ... t8064.html ?

Naturally this will fire several times as the event is detected several times WHILE the key is down. Perhaps detecting a key going UP is better? Don't think you can "ripple through". Thanks. I have modified the code and took the disable out of the click handler. So there is a little delay of 0.2 se...
