[RWP] AHK

[Jim Snowbarger]

Actually, I won't keep sending these out as i twiddle.  But, here is a 
revised edition of the same.  I think this is a little better.
This one doesn't do a mouse click of any kind.  It just puts the mouse 
there, and lets you decide what to do with it.  It only expects that the 
class of the window at that location be the same as the class at the time 
you defined it, just to make sure you are where you think you are.

so, step 1, position the mouse, and use alt+shift+A to define the spot, and 
give it a name.
Do that for as many spots as you like.
Then, use alt+shift+f1, and choose a spot from the list.  It will take the 
mouse there, and evaluate the pixel color at that location.  If it has never 
seen it before, it will ask you what you want spoken when that color is 
found.  type in a string, or press escape if you want that color to be 
ignored.
If it's the kind of location that changes color when you click it, then 
click it, and activate the spot again to train it about the meaning of the 
new color.

The .ahk file has similar instructions at the top.

About speaking the color strings, the only way it does that at the moment is 
to put up an msgBox with the text in it.  That is groosem, because it causes 
focus changes, and extra speech jabber.  Next, is to figure out how to get 
direct speech in all the various screen readers and speech package 
preferences.  If anybody has a module that can do that, it would  be happily 
married to this one to eliminate that msgBox.

By the way, I make no claim on this, and make no warrantees, implied or 
expressed, and you can modify and repost at your good pleasure.  have fun.
