Hi

 

Ive just started using AutoIT and was trying to create a basic scrit but was having trouble getting started.

Basically i wanted to:

Press a key "P"

If the onscreen keyboard in windows 7 x64 is not running then launch it

If it is running then check the window state when the user Presses the key, if its mimimised then maximise it. If its maximised then minimise it.

Trouble is i cant get the first section working where i try to launch it. Below is the code any Pointers would be good

Opt("TrayIconHide", 1)          ;0=show, 1=hide tray icon


HotKeySet("p", "Actions")


Func Actions()
    If NOT ProcessExists("OSK.exe") Then
      Run("OSK.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
   Else
      Local $iState = WinGetState("On-Screen Keyboard")
         If ($iState, 16) Then
         WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)
         Else
         WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard","",@SW_MINIMIZE )
         EndIf

   ENDIf

EndFunc

Syntax error I found... Change this line

 If $iState = 16 Then

Also nee a loop

Opt("TrayIconHide", 1) ;0=show, 1=hide tray icon
 
 
HotKeySet("p", "Actions")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
 
 
While 1
Sleep(20)
WEnd
 
 
Func Actions()
If Not ProcessExists("OSK.exe") Then
Run("OSK.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
Else
Local $iState = WinGetState("On-Screen Keyboard")
If $iState = 16 Then
WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
Else
WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
EndIf
 
EndIf
 
EndFunc   ;==>Actions
 
Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

You need a loop

HotKeySet("p", "Actions")


Func Actions()
    If NOT ProcessExists("OSK.exe") Then
    Run("OSK.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
    Else
    If BitAND(WinGetState("On-Screen Keyboard"), 16) Then
        WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)
    Else
        WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard","",@SW_MINIMIZE )
    EndIf

    ENDIf

EndFunc

While True
WEnd

WinGetState shows the summation of all states on the window...BitAND checks if your specific state is present, or not.

jdelaney,

Please put a Sleep in that loop - or offer to pay for the new CPU. ;)

Yes it will :)...too lazy to add in those 20 or so characters :)

@ SDguy  @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED should be correct

Ah, I see now. So it should. Both are listed on this page - http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/macros.htm, but on this page - http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/Run.htm, only the maximize flag is listed, which is what I went by.

When I run this line - Run("OSK.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED), I get a dialog box that says, "Could not start On-Screen Keyboard".

 

what system are you running on. I get nothing back. The rest works now as i want, when i press the key it maximises and minimises but i cant lauch the onscreen keyboard at all. I am on WIN7 x64

HotKeySet("{F3}", "Actions")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")


While 1
Sleep(20)
WEnd


Func Actions()
If Not ProcessExists("OSK.exe") Then
Run("OSK.exe", "", @SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
Else
Local $iState = WinGetState("On-Screen Keyboard")
If BitAND(WinGetState("On-Screen Keyboard"), 16) Then
        WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard","",@SW_RESTORE)
Else
WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
EndIf

EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>Actions

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Win7 HP x64. I also tried to run my snippet script while logged into an Admin account, and then a regular account. Same issue both times. I don't know why the message appears, or how to work around it, but I'm sure somebody here will be able to help you.

skjom,

Do you have a windows key on your keyboard?

I'm running Win7 x64 and this works for me just fine, including the minimize/maximize requirement.

Opt("TrayIconHide", 1) ;0=show, 1=hide tray icon

HotKeySet("{F3}", "Actions")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
Sleep(20)
WEnd

Func Actions()
If Not ProcessExists("OSK.exe") Then

        ;NOTE: Replace {LWIN} with {RWIN} if your keyboard is different.  (Assuming yours HAS a windows key)
    Send("{LWIN}OSK{ENTER}")
Else
    Local $iState = WinGetState("On-Screen Keyboard")
    
    If BitAND(WinGetState("On-Screen Keyboard"), 16) Then
        WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard","",@SW_RESTORE)
    Else
        WinSetState("On-Screen Keyboard", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    EndIf
EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>Actions

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

okay edited the script, now the OSK launches but the minimise or maximise doesnt function.

I noticed you're using the ShellExecuteWait function to start OSK. That function will do what it's meant to do, then wait until the specified program ends before letting the script continue with whatever is left.
