just give "Everyone" control in permissions

Thank you! For the example and the name

Easiest/fastest way to explain: press file or alt+f see the shortcuts justified right on the menu items? there should be things like "New Tab_______Ctrl+T" Can you assign non-global hotkeys to functions or menu items like that natively in autoit? I searched a bit on the forums and was not able to find much on the topic...

Sorry about the double topic- the forum gave me a posting error so I reposted it

Thanks! I never knew that "to" could be used like that, I've only ever seen it used in for loops

Thanks for the example most if the questions with multiple checkboxes have either around 5-10 choices, or close to 25 I may use checkboxes in a list for the smaller ones, but I'm still wondering how I'll display 25 checkboxes at once a question about the example- how would I add an unknown number of checkboxes to my GUI message loop? I'm planning on having them in an array what I've tried so far with a test script with 20 checkboxes has either been unsuccessful or incredibly slow

I'm writing the program for my boss ( he's a statistician)he's insistant that all of the choices have to be visible at once. I'm still thinking of alternatives- maybe a combobox with an add button next to it and a listview to see what's been added

From what I understood from your link, the closest possible thing to what I want to do is to draw pictures of checked or unchecked check-boxes in the combo-box I've never used lists before and I'm looking at them as a possibility- can they contain check-boxes (easily)? I'm creating a GUI version of a previously paper survey, and there are numerous instances of rows of check-boxes that wouldn't easily fit on the average user's monitor (one question in front of me has 24). Any feasible alternatives anyone could think of would be appreciated EDIT: By the way- thanks for the laugh (your closing line)

Is it possible to create a dropdown list of checkboxes? I was thinking of something similar looking to a combobox... but can't seem to find anything like that in the help file or forums.

here: Opt("WinTextMatchMode", 2) ;this lets you activate a window without using the whole name WinActivate("Mozilla Firefox") you have to activate Firefox and the tab separately- autoit doesn't see a tab as a window

maybe send ctrl+tab ("^{tab}") until the window has the correct name example: While WinGetTitle("") <> "Samurai of Legend - Mozilla Firefox" ;;; the loop continues until the correct tab is open send("^{tab}") ;;; ctrl+tab switches the tab in firefox (ctrl+pageup or ctrl+pagedown should work too) sleep(100) WEnd EDIT: added example

Maxing itunes to change the song is unnecessary- you might want to try using the extremely useful UDFs found here instead of sending a keystroke: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...5&hl=itunes And here's two lines of script that'll go to the next song: $iTunesApp = ObjCreate("iTunes.Application");you only need to do this once, itunes must be open beforehand $iTunesApp.NextTrack ;this changes the song edit*** And to have iTunes only run if it isnt open already try: If Not (ProcessExists("itunes.exe")) Then Run("C:\Program Files\iTunes\itunes.exe") EndIf

taskkill /im whatever.exe in command prompt, kills whatever you want it to, even if you aren't an admin... that's why batch files and the command prompt are blocked

the task manager is blocked- they use taskkill

has anyone ever made a program play a song using the beep function? nevermind found it
