Introduction to AutoHotkey Apps and Tricks

"More than just a programming book, "AutoHotkey Applications" is for generating ideas."

While there are many techniques for constructing AutoHotkey gadgets with the built-in Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), the practical applications included in this book show the real power of AutoHotkey while inspiring more possibilities.

Part I: AutoHotkey Applications

"Most of these applications are demonstrations of the AutoHotkey GUI command but there are other useful apps."

One of the best ways to get ideas for how to implement AutoHotkey applications is to look at what other people have done. If the answer isn't here, then perhaps another idea will be sparked.

Chapter One: Guide to ComputorEdge AutoHotkey App Download Dropbox Site

"A list of the apps on the ComputorEdge Script Download Site and what they do!"

It's about time! With over twenty some AutoHotkey scripts posted on the ComputorEdge AutoHotkey Dropbox free download site, it's time to look at what they all do.

Chapter Two: Five Cool Little Windows Apps

"A dictionary, a scratchpad, easy folder switching, a screen magnifier, and easy foreign characters all written in AutoHotkey."

Digging around the Web and the AutoHotkey community, Jack finds a few apps that any Windows user may like.

Chapter Three: ClipJump, the Free Windows Clipboard Manager

"ClipJump clipboard manager has a number of advantages."

Not everyone needs a Clipboard manager, but if you find that you are constantly using copy-and-paste, then ClipJump may be just the ticket for you.

Chapter Four: An AutoHotkey App for Temporary Hotkeys (HotKey GUI Control)

"Set up hotkey text for inserting into documents and Web pages."

Sometimes you just need a quick way to temporarily enter repetitious and/or long text (e-mail addresses, account numbers, etc.) into documents or forms. Here is a free, quick and dirty app that will do the job with no hassle. This script uses the Gui, Add, HotKey control and the HotKey command to create new hotkey combinations.

Chapter Five: A Quick AutoHotkey App for Playing Music (SoundPlay and FileSelectFile)

"Sometimes all you need is a barebones media player."

If you just want to quickly play a few songs in the background on your computer, here is a free, easy way to do it.

Chapter Six: A Multimedia Greeting Card (Progress/Splash Image, ComObjCreate())

"Rearrange AutoHotkey commands to create novel apps."

Ellen combines a graphic file, an audio file, and the computer voice to create this fun multimedia app.

Chapter Seven: The Perfect Soft Boiled Egg (UpDown and Progress Bar GUI Control, SoundBeep)

"The Immersible Egg Timer or a Recipe for a Barebones Windows Countdown Egg Timer"

Jack offers an AutoHotkey app that counts down to zero before setting off three alarms.

Chapter Eight: Slider App for Dimming the Computer Screen (Slider and StatusBar GUI Control)

"A Simple App That Anyone Can Write to Change the Brightness of Their Windows Computer Screen"

There are AutoHotkey functions available to control most aspects of your Windows computer. You don't need to know how they work to use them. Here is a simple AutoHotkey script called ScreenDimmer which uses one of those mysterious AutoHotkey functions.

Chapter Nine: A Daily To-Do List App (ListView GUI Control and Saving a Data File)

"Using the ListView graphic user interface control a quick and dirty to-do list app is built."

One of the most powerful AutoHotkey controls, ListView, is used to make a simple, easy to use To-Do List app. Plus, the data is saved to a simple text file.

Chapter Ten: More To-Do List App (Resizing and Positioning the GUI)

"Tips and tricks for making AutoHotkey windows easier to resize, position and use and save - and ListView editing."

Prompted by a question, Jack makes improvements to the AutoHotkey To-Do List app. The ListView columns read easier, the window is resizable, and the app saves the window's last size and position for later use. Plus, how to edit directly in the first ListView field.

Chapter Eleven: The Address Book App (ListView, Right-Click Menus, CSV Data File, and E-mail)

"A barebones address book app adds columns and inserts formatted addresses in any document and sends e-mails."

Based upon the To-Do List app built with the AutoHotkey ListView, the Address Book app takes us a few steps further with the addition of columns, use of a CSV data file format, text insertion and e-mail organization.

Chapter Twelve: Address Book App with a Formatted Input Screen, Deletion Protection, and More!

"Built on AutoHotkey ListView, the address book app gets a formatted input screen, protection against accidental deletes, and age calculation."

The Address Book app is changed for better editing, backup, and protection against accidental deletions. Some of these tricks apply to any AutoHotkey app. Plus, age calculation is added as a new feature.

Chapter Thirteen: Calorie Counting App (ListView and GroupBox GUI Controls)

"This AutoHotkey Calorie Counting app imports diet information from the Web, shows the use of GroupBox, and filters ListView by a hidden date column."

AutoHotkey is used to write a script which logs daily food intake while calculating and totaling calories. It builds on the previous To Do List and Address Book apps which use the ListView graphic user interface control.

Chapter Fourteen: Fixing the Calorie Count App (Removing Blank Lines)

"Making the Calorie Count import routine compatible with more Web browsers."

The original version of the script only worked with Google Chrome. Here's how to make the Calorie Count app compatible with more Web browsers.

Chapter Sixteen: Manipulating Data Files in a Variable for CalorieCount (ListView, FileRead)

"Reading a data file into a variable can save time and disk access."

While it is often easy to work directly with a saved data file, reading the same file into a variable may speed up your AutoHotkey apps.

Chapter Seventeen: Building a Recipe Book with TreeView, Part I (ItemID for Tracking Content)

"AutoHotkey script development with TreeView control, plus using a variable to save a variable."

This time Jack starts the process of writing a recipe book app using the AutoHotkey TreeView control. But, rather than just giving code and explanations, Jack reveals his thought process during the script design and code writing. A data tracking technique that uses the value of a new ItemID as a variable is introduced.

"Here are a few things to make any AutoHotkey app a little better."

While it's true that a program is never really completed, here are a few things, such as automatic backup, resizing fields with the window, saving the GUI windows size and position, showing the window with a hotkey or tray menu, checking for changes in the data, and saving on exit, which will make your app a little safer and more usable.

Chapter Twenty-three: Build Your Own AutoHotkey App Control Center (ListView with Menus)

"A basic framework for making it easier to work with various AutoHotkey (and other) programs."
