I'm trying to run my loop for two seconds. Within those two seconds, if I click left a message box gets activated, telling me that I've clicked left. If the 2 seconds are up another message box is supposed to appear, telling me that I've been waiting enough. However, after 2 seconds nothing happens ;(
:*:tcc::
start := A_TickCount
totalTime := stop - start
Loop {
stop := A_TickCount
if (totalTime > 2000)
{
MsgBox, enough waiting!
return
}
else if GetKeyState("LButton")
{
MsgBox, you clicked left
return
}
}
The variable "totalTime" has to be created within the loop, every time the loop stops:
:*:tcc::
start := A_TickCount
Loop {
stop := A_TickCount
totalTime := stop - start
if (totalTime > 2000)
{
MsgBox, enough waiting!
return
}
else if GetKeyState("LButton")
{
MsgBox, you clicked left
return
}
}
return

Could someone help me understand how to capture Rbutton in Loop?
The idea is when I click GUI button its activate loop and waiting for some time for example 15 sec until RButton will be clicked, if loop detects that RBUtton been doubleclicked, should show me msg box
w::SetTimer Test, 5000
Test:
Loop { ; waiting when RButton will be clicked
Keywait,RButton
A := GetKeyState("Rbutton","P")
if (!%A%) {
MsgBox, this part should continue and wait for RButton do nothing and continue to wait
} else if (%A%) {
MsgBox, you clicked double RButton
Send, this is text
break
}
}
Msgbox end of script
SetTimer Test, Off
Return
My idea:
Use While loop as timer, ie, while within duration (eg 15 secs), keep checking status of double right button. If criteria met within duration, break the loop and show message box.
Use SetTimer and GetKeyState to constantly check and update number of right button clicked.
Note to below script. It is assumed that when GUI is clicked, DetectDoubleClick() will be fired.
Counter_RButton := 0
SecondsToWait := 15
DetectDoubleClick()
{
Global Counter_RButton
Now := A_TickCount
End := A_TickCount + (SecondsToWait * 1000)
SetTimer, CaptureRButton, 150
While (End >= Now)
{
if (Counter_RButton = 2)
{
Counter_RButton := 0
MsgBox,,,Double RButton Detected!
break
}
Now := A_TickCount
}
SetTimer, CaptureRButton, Off
return
}
CaptureRButton:
ButtonIsDown := GetKeyState("RButton")
If ButtonIsDown
Counter_RButton := Counter_RButton + 1
Exit
I am trying to reboot PC at specific hour when a click mouse loop is running. I used if + else conditions and when I try to run both pieces of code separately the script works but when put together only the mouse clicking loop is running while the timer process takes no effect. Any ideas what’s wrong?
^+f::
SetTimer, Chronos, 500
return
Chronos:
FormatTime, TimeToMeet,,HHmm
If (TimeToMeet = 2018)
{
Run, %comspec% /c shutdown -r -f -t 0
}
else

{
MouseClick, Left, 787, 512, 1,0

The loop statement never exits.
You're using a timer so I assume you want your code to be event driven. If that's the case, make the MouseClick part of a timer instead of a sleeping loop.
If you don't want to use events, put your shutdown clause inside of the loop
This clicks (787,512) every 10 seconds until 20:18, at which time it shuts the computer down
^+f::
SetTimer, Chronos, 500

Chronos:

FormatTime, TimeToMeet,,HHmm
If (TimeToMeet = 2018)
{
Run, %comspec% /c shutdown -r -f -t 0
}
MouseClick, Left, 787, 512, 1,0
Sleep 10000
}

This clicks (787,512) every 10 seconds until 20:18, at which time it shuts the computer down
F2:: start()
F3:: stop()
start()
{
global running := 1
while running {
FormatTime TimeToMeet,,HHmm
if (TimeToMeet = 1349 )
Shutdown 13

Iv been recently interested in developing a way to measure the times between my mouse clicks for research however im unsure what functions autohotkey has available to help with this. I firstly tried to get a measure of the exact time using :
FormatTime, ssnow, %A_Now%, ss
The problem with this was that subtracting one time from another is apparently impossible in autohotkey according to some forums i have searched and the result when testing also produced an empty value.
Is there a way to initiate a counter when the left button is down and then stop the timer when the button is released?
Here is the code I have been working on:
clickTime := 0
lastClick := 0
~LButton::
FormatTime, ssnow, %A_THEN%, ss
lastClick=%A_THEN%
~LButton Up::
FormatTime, ssnow, %A_Now%, ss
clickTime=%A_Now%
MsgBox (%clickTime% - %lastClick% )
Try:
~LButton::
StartTime := A_TickCount
While(GetKeyState("LButton", "P"))
continue
ToolTip % A_TickCount - StartTime
return
or:
~LButton::
StartTime := A_TickCount
keywait, LButton, L
ToolTip % A_TickCount - StartTime
return
Goal of the script: to continually press Numpad0 for 10 seconds each time hotkey is pressed.
Current code:
toggle = 0
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
timerToggle:
Toggle := !Toggle
sleep 10000
Toggle := !Toggle
F12::
SetTimer, timerToggle, -1
While Toggle{
send {NumPad0}
sleep 100
}
return
At present, the script will run as intended, but only once. Attempting to run it again after the first time does nothing. What am I missing?
I would rather use SetTimers instead of a 10 sec. long while like so
F12::
Send {Numpad0}
SetTimer, start, 100
SetTimer, stop, -10000
return
start:
Send {Numpad0}
return
stop:
SetTimer, start, off
return
Your script likely doesn't toggle your variable correctly. Here is a cleaner version of what you are trying to do which uses A_TickCount:
F12::SetTimer, HoldNumPad, -1
HoldNumPad:
kDown := A_TickCount
While ((A_TickCount - kDown) < 10000)
{
Send {Numpad0}
Sleep 100
}
Return
Note that pressing F12 while the label is running will not have any affect.
EDIT: Made SetTimer use -1 period to run only once, thanks to MCL.
ArrayCount = 0
Loop, Read, Times.txt ; This loop retrieves each line from the file.
{
ArrayCount += 1 ; Keep track of how many items are in the array.
ArrayTime%ArrayCount% := A_LoopReadLine
}
WinGetTitle, Title, A
Loop %ArrayCount%
{
element := ArrayTime%A_Index%
Time = %A_WDay%%A_Hour%%A_Min%
msgbox %Time% , %element%
if (Time=%element%)
{
IfWinExist, Test.txt
{
WinActivate
Sleep 500
Send Hi{enter}
msgbox %Time% , %element%
Sleep 500
WinActivate, %Title%
}
}
}
Ok so the main issue is with this part:
if (Time=%element%)
I have also tried
if (%Time%=%element%)
if (A_WDay . A_Hour . A_Min=%element%)
And I think some other similar variations, the problem I'm getting is it's either always true, or always false, depending on how I have it written.
Inside the text file is a list like this:
10000
10700
11400
20400
21100
I add an extra line that has the current time for testing, and I added the msgbox to compare, and I can clearly see they're both the same when it doesn't work, or that they're different when it does. Sorry for such a basic question but I feel like I've really been trying for a long time and read everything I can on variables and IF statements, thanks for any help.
Also the point of it is I need it to go off every 7 hours starting at midnight on sunday, this is what I came up with, if there's maybe a completely better way in general I'd be happy to hear that too.
Try this:
if % Time = element
{
MsgBox, Equal!
}
As for the scheduling part, try running your script through Windows Task Scheduler (hit Windows+R, type taskschd.msc and press Enter). There are tutorials on the Internet explaining how to create new tasks.
With regard to timers, have a look at this as an example.
SetTimer, AlertType1, 60000
ToAlertType1:=1
ToAlertType2:=1
AlertType1:
;If A_WDay between 2 and 7 ; is day monday - sunday?
;{
If (A_Hour = 7 or A_Hour = 13)
{
If (ToAlertType1)
{
SoundBeep, 500, 500
ToAlertType2:=1
ToAlertType1:=0
MsgBox, 4096,%AppName%, Msg1.
Return
}
}
Else if (A_Hour = 21)
{
If (ToAlertType2)
{
SoundBeep, 500, 500
ToAlertType2:=0
ToAlertType1:=1
MsgBox, 4096,%AppName%, Msg2.
Return
}
}
;}
Return
