<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Chriss, thanks for that snip.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The number 2 in </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>SetTitleMatchMode 2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>means that, when it looks for a title match, the
one it finds just needs to contain the one you specify somewhere inside
it. It doesn't have to start with that. 1 means it must start with
what you specify. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyway, I think there is one, and only one,
active window at a time, and it is the highest level window containing the
control with focus at the moment. And that wil be your reference for all
coordinates.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's a great little program, and I'll add it to
my arsonal, long over due. But, there has been a bit of chatter
about HSC versus AHK, and, after looking at it a bit, I think they are
two different animals, with two different primary missions, with some
overlap. AHK is a good tool for folks who don't have JAWS available to
them. And, I can think of several ways I can make good use of it
personally. But, unless you get pretty clever in your color searching,
you will have a hard time using AHK with things that move around inside an
application, or other active window. Still, that image search capability
is pretty tantalizing. I hope it's reasonably responsive.
I'm looking toward some relationship where HSC can use AHK to do the things
HSC isn't good at.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But, at the end of the day, you can't beat using
a program's object model, or API, to get at stuff. It is going to be
much faster, and more accurate, more stable, less dependent on color schemes,
screen resolution, and all those other visual vagaries that drive us
nuts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Most of all, speed. I don't know about you
guys, but I want my DAW to be snappy, and fast, reapeatable and
reliable. And these digital methods are the only interfaces that can
provide that. We use these other tools when we have
too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's better than nothing.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>More about the AHK coordinates provided by a
drying out David P Shortland from the Sunshine Coast.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>AHK uses window-relative coords by default,
but they are relative to the "active" window", or what some people call
the foreground window.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In this case, they are relative to the top
left corner of the Reaper application. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Once I use that window as a reference, I
got this to work. I got the context menu that starts with
input monitoring. but I had to do right click, not left click.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That didn't surprise me, except that his
script said "click" and only provided coords, which is, as I read the AHK
document, a left click by default.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So anyway, Not sure about why that
is.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But, that is what AHK does. It
apparently can not use smaller child windows as a reference, but uses
absolute screen coordinates, or application-relative coords, depending on
the CoordMode command, application relative by default.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>AHK is a pretty interesting program, and it
seems to be focused more on automating user tasks from the standpoint of a
user manipulating multiple applications and perhaps less on working inside
of an app. Not sure yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Naturally, I'm interested in learning more
about what it can do. Maybe it can correct my incessant typing
errors, turning, teh, into, the, and smae into same. That
would be nice. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Perhaps the most interesting part was the
ability to search for an image, including the ability to allow a measured
amount of forgiveness on </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>color
matches. You can do that forgiveness thing on single pixel color
searches too. Basically, you provide it with a .GIF, or .ICO, or any
of several file formats that contain the image or icon you are
looking for, tell it a region to search, and it pokes around looking for
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I suspect that is a noticeably slow process,
because they suggest ways to try to speed it up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And, I'm not currently quite sure how we will
identify the images to search for. We've got a boot strap problem
there. I am class A stupid as a windows programmer. So, I'm
more than a little behind the curve. but, the doc suggests you can
often extract the icon images right out of the program itself.
Yeah, go find that one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But, how you actually do that is, so far,
less clear.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I wonder if there is a way to gen up a little
utility that lets a sightling click the mouse at the top left, and bottom
right corners of an image of interest, and have the utility save that
image as something we could then use AHK, or other equally equipped tool,
to look for.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think I have a sighted programmer who is
interested enough in this stuff to help see if that can be
done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I shall pursue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyway, David, thanks for breaking the
ice. I have needed to check this out for some time, but just haven't
gotten around to it. Their web site is wonderfully
accessible. Very nice.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">
<DIV>Hi & Greetings from a drying out Sunshine Coast</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thought I would share this with anyone who may be interested</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I am charting my way thru the Help files of AutoHotKey and
learning to Script this and that, well mainly for Omnisphere at
present, here are a couple of co-ordinates that may be of helpin
REAPER, with regards to a Certain Menu not opening with Apps Key
& Up Arrow key</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These co-ordinates will give access to a menu that will be spoken
and contains settings for Audio & MIDI Inputs & Outputs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>136, 176 is for Trak 1</DIV>
<DIV>136, 276 is for Trak 2</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now for those of us who may be a little apprehensive in trying to
write a script to access these co-ordinates,here its is...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Open up Notepad and type these lines as is, or just copy them
across..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Numpad9 & Numpad1:: Click 136, 176</DIV>
<DIV>Numpad9 & Numpad2:: Click 136, 276</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Save this document as AutoHotKey.ahk</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Go to the directory where you just saved that script</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Double Click on the file and it should ask you with what file do
you wish to run the program?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Navigate to AutoHotKey and voila ... all should be good</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Okay, just remember that the resolution on my System is 768 x 1024
, so one can deduce that if your resolution is different the
co-ordinates will not match.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now all you have to do when REAPER is open and you have several
tracks in place</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Press Numpad9 (hold it down and Press Numpad1 the Menu should open,
make yourselections</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Remember that this combination is for Trak 1.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have also used the Numpad as ReaAccess and REAPER use a lot of
keyboard combinations and this should not interfere.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh yes... DO NOT forget to press the NumLock .. it must be
ON!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have only given the co-ordinates for two trax, because I figure
if you want to set up several combinations of In & Outs, just coply
one of the tracks to another place.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Hopefully all will go smoothly... if not...I have left the country
and gone into hiding...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take care all</DIV>
