Windows Navigation

[xJilo]

Please help me for my new project. The function is: When the key is pressed, the script first checks to see if a file is selected in an active Windows Explorer window. If Windows Explorer is not the active window, or if a file is not selected, an error message should appear describing as much. “We can perform a power copy operation, because you do not have a file select.”

 

Z-Key.au3

#include <Array.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
#include <StringConstants.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

While 1

   SplashTextOn("Message Error", "We can perform a power copy operation, because you do not have a file select.", 300, 90, 60, 960, $DLG_TEXTLEFT, "", 12)
   Sleep(3000)
   SplashOff()
   Exit
WEnd

Was there a specific issue that you wanted us to help you with?

P.S. I think you meant to say "can't perform" 😉

It's a typo but I mean is I want a script that first checks to see if a file is selected in an active Windows Explorer window. If Windows Explorer is not the active window, or if a file is not selected, an error message should appear like a splashtext.

and also I'm new here and still learning 😁

That's nice... but we're here to offer assistance; not write scripts on demand. So you will need to put in some additional effort to solve this on your own.

This isn't an area where I've done much work, but I imagine you will find some working examples if you search the forum.

Oh sure thing thanks.

But can you assist me for reference for this topic.
