AHK Help anyone?

wreckedcarzz:
EDIT 2: Once again, just reviving this with a new question. Not sure if anyone can fix this one, though (not fix, more like figure out how to do it...its confusing to explain much less code). If you can help, just scroll to the bottom - all things in the middle are past problems. Thanks all!

EDIT: I am reviving an old thread, so ignore the bottom part of this. Just scroll down until you see my post with the bold & underlined text, that is the new problem I am having. :)


Ok, assuming you have read the title, here is the skinny:

I am trying to make a program to replace an old, no longer supported program known as Giggles (the site is down, it appears, so I cannot link). It takes user input and holds it, until a Function key is pressed, where it then takes the input and types it out.

I can get the program I have made to STORE the data (as the AHK script window hides, as it should, as I don't have NoHide set), but I can't get it to SEND the text. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong??? I have been working on it for a while now and if I don't get it soon I am going to go crazy...

Here is the code- I don't know html or ... what's it called... well I can't make the button to hide/show the code on the post, so here it is (this is what I am up to now, I can't really advance until I get this problem sorted out):

f2save:
Gui, Submit
Return-You
--- End quote ---

I mean RETURN means "return at this point".
So you never will reach
{F2}:
GuiControlGet, v12-You
--- End quote ---


Try instead

f2save:
Gui, Submit
{F2}:
GuiControlGet, v12
Return
--- End quote ---

Note, i am no coder and didn't have test your code, just an suggestion.

wreckedcarzz:
It is a good theory, but those are 2 different commands. :(
The 1st stores the text that you put in, and the F2 is the one that *should* output it.
Good idea, though.

...and the F2 is the one that *should* output it.-wreckedcarzz (July 24, 2007, 01:15 AM)

I don't get it.... where's the output?
"GuiControlGet" is to GET an info .... not to output ??!?!? isn't it?

What output do you aspect?
And where should the output appear?

You should use better var names then
Gui, Add, Edit, r5 vf2
or/and make heavy use of comments like
Gui, Add, Edit, r5 vf2  ; here is an comment, r5 = 5 rows, vf2 = var f2
Later if your script works or you have no more question to others
you can remove the comments (but you should keep an version with comments!  :Thmbsup:)


---

I think it should be smtg like (is v12 a variable?)

F2::
{
GuiControlGet, v12 ; get the info (but from where???) and store it into the var v12
MsgBox v12 is: %v12% ; output the stored info
}
Return

See the help
GuiControlGet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retrieves various types of information about a control in a GUI window.
GuiControlGet, OutputVar [, Sub-command, ControlID, Param4]

OK, i download the script and will see what i can get.
Maybe you will get quicker success if you ask in the http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/ ?  :D

AbteriX:
And you have no code to store and get the settings?
See the help for inwrite and iniread

IniWrite, %f2%, %A_ScriptName%.ini, Settings, f2
IniRead, f2,   %A_ScriptName%.ini, Settings, f2
