I have a problem where AutoHotkey tells me there is a missing {
in front of an 'else' where I think my Code is perfectly fine. (It worked up until I changed the window-related if's from Pidgin to qutIM)
^!p::
IfWinExist ahk_class QWidget, ,qutIM { ;if there is a qutIM-window other than the buddy-list...
IfWinNotActive ahk_class QWidget, , qutIM { ;ans it is not active...
WinActivate
} else { ;the closing bracket in front of the else here puts AHK off...
WinMinimize
}
} else { ;do some stuff with the buddy-list
; [...]
}
return
I fear I'm overlooking something stupid, but I cannot seem to get this working.
If I am not mistaken, the One True Brace style is usable only with pure If statements, not with compounds like IfWinExist.
From the documentation for if-expressions:
The One True Brace (OTB) style may optionally be used with
if-statements that are expressions (but not traditional
if-statements).
Ie. you have to use WinExist() form, not IfWinExist.
As PhiLho stated, the The One True Brace (OTB) style can't be used with compound if-statements.
While there isn't a direct function for WinNotActive()
, you can use !
as a modifier for the same effect.
^!p::
if WinExist("ahk_class QWidget", , "qutIM") {
if !WinActive("ahk_class QWidget", , "qutIM") {
WinActivate
} else {
WinMinimize
}
} else {
; [...]
}
return
Since I don't have the app you're testing it on I'm not really sure what you're trying to get it to do but this might be another way to go:
^!p::
IfWinExist, ahk_class Notepad ; if there is a qutIM-window other than the buddy-list
{
WinActivate
Exists=True
}
else ;the closing bracket in front of the else here puts AHK off...
{
WinMinimize
Exists=False
}
If Exists=True
MsgBox, do some stuff with the buddy-list ; dummy code
Else
{
Msgbox, Exiting App ; dummy code
ExitApp
}
