The following AHK_L script should display FARR's main window and then move it close to the pointer.  I use this when there's something near the pointer I want to drop in FARR's main window (reduce dragging distance and hence risk of mis-drop).

May want to tweak the full path to FARR's exe (see FarrFullPath in code) and/or the hotkey (see KeySequence in code).

Tested on XP SP3 and 7 Pro SP1.


Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  3.  
  4. ; change this as desired
  5. KeySequence := "^+p"
  6.  
  7. ; XXX: may need to change this
  8. FarrFullPath := A_ProgramFiles . "\FindAndRunRobot\FindAndRunRobot.exe"
  9.  
  10. CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
  11.  
  12. ShowFARRAtPointer()
  13. {
  14.   global FarrFullPath
  15.   SplitPath, FarrFullPath, FarrExe
  16.   Process, Exist, % FarrExe
  17.   If (ErrorLevel != 0) ; yes FARR
  18.   {
  19.     MouseGetPos, X, Y
  20.     Run, % FarrFullPath . " -show"
  21.     WinWaitActive, % "Find and Run Robot 2 ahk_class TMainForm"
  22.     If (ErrorLevel == 1)
  23.     {
  24.       OutputDebug, % "WinWaitActive timed out waiting for FARR"
  25.       Return
  26.     }
  27.     ; XXX: will this work for multi-display set-ups?
  28.     WinMove, % "Find and Run Robot 2 ahk_class TMainForm", , % X, % Y
  29.   }
  30.   Else ; no FARR
  31.   {
  32.     ; OK/Cancel - esc dismisses dialog
  33.     MsgBox, 1, % "Did Not Find Running FARR"
  34.           , % "FARR doesn't seem to be running.`n`nOk to start FARR?"
  35.     IfMsgBox, OK
  36.     {
  37.       Run, % FarrFullPath
  38.     }
  39.   }
  41. }
  42.  
  43. Hotkey, % KeySequence, DoShowFARRAtPointer
  44.  
  46.  
  47. DoShowFARRAtPointer:
  48. {
  49.   ShowFARRAtPointer()
  51. }

Updated: as per Nod5's suggestion to use A_ProgramFiles

nice  thumbs up

Tip: Autohotkey's variable A_ProgramFiles makes the default script compatible with different localized paths for the program files folder.
[copy or print]
FarrFullPath = %A_ProgramFiles%\FindAndRunRobot\FindAndRunRobot.exe
edit: I made a mistake in the code above (had both qoutes and %'s), fixed now.
