Der Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have only been using autoit v2 for a short period I was told that autoit scripting language for 2 is alot simplers. So far I really like what i have accomplised in the few days I have been learning. But I have two things that I have not been able to figure out how to do or if it is possible. 1. I would like to have the macro run on a minimized window is this possible and if so how do I make sure it is the right window it is running on I usually have like 6 windows of the same application running and would like to be able to choose some how which one it will run in. 2. Second I hope is easier then the First I baiscally want the macro to run in the task bar but not execute till I hit a set of hot keys example Ctrl+Shift+Q the macro will execute one then go hibernate again till the hot keys are pressed again.

jpm Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I don't why you choose the V2 version if you just start as the official release is V3 now. I think the new one is a lot simpler and have a great doc that can help your understanding of what you can do with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Robertson Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 AutoIt V3 is a lot better. It isn't any more complicated than V2 and it offers more ability. Just download V3 and try it. The help file is actually helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find aprogram you rarely use, and go to it's properties you could set up your wanted hotkeythere. Now you could just check for this program's title, and when it exists you do whatyou want to do Kind of funny looking back, since it's so much easier to do the same thing now...
