When I run a script it shows the current "Line" and command running in the tooltip when I hover over the System Tray icon. Is there a way to have my script use SplashTextOn to automatically show current running Line without having to manually script a ControlSetText before each line in the script? I would assume that if the AutoIt interpreter can send the line info then it could be intercepted (for lack of a better term).

hmm, i did not read the OP in that manner, perhaps i had misunderstood. therefore i only saw Jos's reply as discussion since there was not the usual "keep out" trailing.

it is easy to hide/store part of you code/functions/variables in many places then have the script retrieve that info, but if they can read the script they can find the location of the secret code stash. but it could be a handy way to have dynamic variables and such that you can change remotely if you cannot easily change your compiled script.

or you could have left your question, and then shared how you fixed it so that it may help someone else in the future when they are searching for answers.

apologies, i did not mean to be overealous, i just thought i remembered seeing threads get locked for mentioning "record keystrokes" over the past few years, even after explaining that they were simply wanting what the OP here is wanting. this is not my first time jumping the gun, i should know better, again i apologize.

I'm assuming that the stuff you keep seeing is from old posts. Bad people have done bad stuff with autoit script therefore the forum no longer allows these topics to be discussed, hence the inability to find the script you were looking for.

no bother, but you will be better off searching for yourself, discussion on keylogger scripts is not allowed in this forum.

as careca mentioned, there are two different options for coordinates, there are absolute and relative. absolute refers to the screen, so no matter what is on the screen it will click the coordinates given. relative refers to the window of the program you are trying to click on, so no matter where the window of the program is positioned on the screen it will click the coords within the programs window. you can change which one your script uses with this option.

i have a solution, but not for your code. i keep all my scripts in folders that are backed up on the cloud, mainly Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, with their respective syncing apps installed. If i ever delete, or otherwise completely fubar my code i can just grab a previous version from the cloud, saves me from many hassles and headaches.

check out the functions... HotKeySet() this function can intercept the pressing of LCTRL+d and run commands. WinActive() inside the hotkeyset use if statements to check if Photoshop window is active. Send() if Photoshop window is active, Send LCTRL and... MouseClick() the sending of LCTRL+ right mouse click may be a little tricky, i have to tested so im not sure if this is the best method.

this is similar to something i used to do with one of my projects, it had a separate compiler script that would do my "if" checks then choose from pre-made scripts based on results then compile them. i like this idea of the compiler script writing the .au3 file from scratch using variables.

add an extra 0 to that sleep time between send ctrl+c and filewrite

i found an old thread that suggested there was not enough time between the ctrl+c and the ClipGet() for the content to get written to the clipboard, try a msgox of $sData after it is set to check if that is the case, if so then add a sleep between the ctrl+c and the ClipGet()

you cant use variables, you already know that.
