Oh, I don't know.  Aren't degrees of affection, as tested by a snogometer, measured in hertz?
There's  some question about that, especially if the degree is only a third.
-cranioscopical (May 24, 2010, 06:57 PM)

Clearly, those would be the black hertz.
Very good, can I buy you a bier?

I remember when peeing in a cup for a job interview was a grave offense
Probably shouldn't have used the interviewer's coffee mug, or at least taken it somewhere private.

Greetings all,
As a noob here,
Welcome!
I have plenty of questions.....But for now, What do I do with a .ahk file?
Go to the AutoHotkey web site to download and then install the (free) AutoHotkey software.
Once that's done simply double-clicking an icon for any .ahk program will cause it to run.
There is excellent documentation available on the site, and installing the software also installs first-rate help files.

AutoHotkey is tremendously useful. You can simply enjoy programs that others have created (many are here on DC) or you can begin programming things yourself. There are many example scripts available. DonationCoder is a very good site on which to ask .ahk questions.

Have fun!

There's only 43 posts to go till you get a straight
Come to think of it... there's only 85 for me to get half your straight  ;D
-Perry Mowbray (May 23, 2010, 11:13 PM)
Let's be clear, I've yet to get anything straight, or even half straight!

You'll never catch me now, first you'd have make thousands of utterly useless posts!
I didn't receive received that turkey badge for nothing, you know!

Okay, let's try this approach ...

Oh and I'm used to troublemakers - ask the Sarge!  ;D
;D
Is that the guy with the really, really small signature line?  :P


Nothing like doing this blind, eh?
-hide / -show working fine
-toggle not working at all

floating ruler
If you found/find/would find it useful, let me know.

Yes, please!

It'd be nice to have:

  • multiple lines
  • the ability to extend the frame by dragging (though I know that was problematic)

Congratulations, Chris!
Thanks for assist!

(Even if your humor is a bit flat...)
It's natural but you're sharp to have noticed that.

Chris,

Thank you for reporting it - which made me go back, look at the problem more carefully and make changes to the program's documentation.

Under XP, Desktop Icons are painted in a (n unnamed) child window whose parent is "Program Manager". For experimental purposes, I've recoded the "-ToggleIcons" code for XP to briefly show the parent window long enough to determine if its child is visible or hidden.

Perhaps you'd care to test it? :)
Thanks for taking the trouble, Mark!

The -show / -hide options work fine.
The -toggle options work fine to hide the icons but not to make them visible again.
In order to make the toggled-off icons visible, I have to kill off explorer.exe and launch another instance of it.
With icons toggled off, reissuing "cleandesktop -toggleicons" does make the parent visible for an instant.

Sorry to be an inadvertent troublemaker, usually it's deliberate on my part   ;)

Aren't you both going off at a tangent?
I don't like your tone.
That's just a phase that you're going through!

It hertz when you talk about me like that. Your heart must be black as pitch.

But I still don't know why the avatar disappeared to begin with.
Probably hit the wrong frequency  :)
-cranioscopical (May 23, 2010, 11:46 AM)

It must be a sine.
;D ;D
As you can tell, I'm more than a little slow: could you amplify that?
2423
The problem with XP is that the Desktop Icons are contained within a child window of a hidden window.
Thanks for the reply and explanation.
My comment was not intended as a complaint, merely a report.

Works for me, FWIW

Thank you for making this available!

FWIW, on my XP SP3 32-bit:
 -HideIcons and -ShowIcons work but -ToggleIcons has no effect.
 -HideAll and -ShowAll work but -ToggleAll has no effect.
