How to hide "Script Active" message?

[stawamus]

I have written my first script which monitors for an F-key and executes an action. It works fine. (OS Windows 7) However while the script is active, there is a status message in the top left corner of my screen which reads "Script active". Is there any way to hide this message?

Thanks for any support and apologies if this is obvious or answered elsewhere. I have made best effort to track down an answer but no luck so far.

Thank you.

stawamus,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

That sounds like a system message to me - what anti-malware app do you have running.

However, just to be sure, please post the code you used - put [autoit] before and [/autoit] after the code so it displays in a nice box like this:

; I am in a nice box
$Fred = "Within code tags"

Thanks! I have pasted the script below - but also - have resolved my issue!! Chalk it up to newbie oversight - but realized that in cobbling together the script, I copy/pasted the timer section from sample code I found -- which worked fine. However - it included a statement: ToolTip("Script active", 0, 0)

The message I was observing when the script is active is there because apparently I (unknowingly) coded it to be there! I have now commented out the ToolTip statement et voila - no more message.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Script Function:
Create Evernote Entries with current Datestamps
CTRL-F12 - Creates a basic note to log calls. Inserts checkbox and positions datestamp to appear in subject line
CTRL-F11 - Creates a note to record tasks.  Inserts datestamp after checkbox to avoid timestamp in subject line

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

HotKeySet("^{F12}", "NewEvernote")
HotKeySet("^{F11}", "NewETask")

;ToolTip("Script active", 0, 0)
While 1

WEnd



; Script Start - Add your code below here
Func NewEvernote()
send ("^!n")
WinWaitActive("Evernote")

stawamus,

I thought that might be the case which is why I asked you to post the code.

But it is always more satisfying to solve it yourself!
