Can't Use AHK #IfWinActive together with #if (getKeyState("F23", "P"))

[bamenny]

Hi, Sorry if this is not the best place to ask this...

The moment I add the #IfWinActive command to the AHK script, AHK will accept Hotkey from BOTH keyboards.

#IfWinActive ahk_exe POWERPNT.EXE m:: send !l send p send m send {Enter} return

Tried various combinations to solve this.... any ideas?

Ah yes. That's because a #if will always overrule any previous #if thingies.

So, I have some code like this:

#if WinActive("ahk_class #32770") and WinActive("ahk_exe chrome.exe") ;An Explorer window as launched by Chrome
`::Send !{up} ;DOWN one folder level in explorer
#if

and I also have some code like this:

#if (getKeyState("F23", "P")) 
numpad3::
if WinActive("ahk_exe Adobe Premiere Pro.exe")
    SendKey(A_thishotkey, ,"orange")
if WinActive("ahk_exe chrome.exe")
    sendinput, ^+{tab} ;go to previous tab in chrome
return

For you, it would be something like....

#if (getKeyState("F23", "P")) and if WinActive("ahk_exe POWERPNT.EXE")
m::msgbox, do whatever here

wait, maybe it's

#if (getKeyState("F23", "P")) and WinActive("ahk_exe POWERPNT.EXE")
m::msgbox, do whatever here

IDK. try stuff! the point is, you can use an AND. or an OR. or multiple ANDs!

Are you using pretty close to the default code, with a ~F24:: pr similar trigger?

In which case, don't use the # symbol before your ifwinactive as you are starting a new [subroutine] (not sure what it's called in AHK. You can see an example of my code which works as a global play/pause key.

~F23::
FileRead, key, C:\Users\[your username]\Documents\AHK Scripts\2nd-keyboard-master\LUAMACROS\keypressed.txt
If (key = "smample_keyname")
Send {Volume_Down}
else if(key = "numMult")
{
WinGet, WorkingWin ,, A ;Get current window ID
SetTitleMatchMode 2 ; 2: A window's title can contain WinTitle anywhere inside it to be a match.

Wegerich, that code only works for the luamacros method. I believe bamenny is using the interception method.

Yes!!! Thanks! This one actually works great.

m:: if WinActive("ahk_exe POWERPNT.EXE") { send !l send p send m } return
