I recently posted this as a suggestion in the FTS thread:

nanochip responded:

I've read through the AutoHotkey Tutorial (quick start).

The above code from nanochip works (obv). What I need to do now is figure out how to move it to the right edge of each table, rather than to specific coordinates on my screen. I also need to figure out how to make it the same height as the table (my tables are always the same size). I use a table that is 632 pixels wide, I'd like the chat to be about half as wide so 316 pixels should work. I used AutoIt3 Window Spy to find the height which is 464.

I have no idea how to tell it coordinates relative to the individual table.

For setting the height and width, I guess it's something like:

WinMove, Chat:

and then I use "Width, Height" somehow (I'm on the WinMove page in the help)? So 316, 464? Do I do Width= or what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm new to scripting but I thing you should use WinGetPos :-)

heres a script that does half of what you want.

--------------------------------------
#Persistent
#SingleInstance Ignore
#NoEnv

HHWindowTitle = Webcam ; identify window substring
interval = 5000 ; period between refreshes
heighth = 310
width = 345

Loop
{
HHIDList()
Sleep %interval%
}


HHIDList()
{
local rlist, this_id, wide,xer,yer
SetTitleMatchMode 2

WinGet, rlist, LIST, %HHWindowTitle%
Loop %rlist%
{
this_id := rlist%a_index%

; WinGetPos [, X, Y, Width, Height, WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText]
WinGetPos,xer,yer,wide,, ahk_id%this_id%
if (%wide% = width)
{
continue
}
; WinMove, WinTitle, WinText, X, Y , Width, Height
;WinMove, ahk_id%this_id%,, (a_index-1)*width , 0 , width, heighth
WinMove, ahk_id%this_id%,, xer , yer , width, heighth
}
return wide
}

F1::
IfWinExist Chat:
{
WinMove, Chat:, ,50,50
}
return

Is it possible to have it do this without the F1 button and without having to manually detach the chat box- ie, you open a table with the script running and the chat box removes itself and moves to certain coordinates?

Look into this
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SetTimer.htm

You can use WinGetPos to get the postion of your Chat window...

WinGetPos, x, y, , ,Chat:

If Full Tilt always brings this chat window to the same position relative to the table, then you can just move it to the right by enough to get it to the edge. Lets say that you need to move it 130 pixels to the right, and you want the width to be 316 and the height to be 350 pixels, then...


x := x + 130 ; calculate the new X value

WinMove, Chat:,, x,y,316,350 ; move chat and change the width and height

Note that if you are not using a parameter, just put don't put anything inbetween the 2 commas.

What exactly does this do?

FTP doesn't always bring the chat window to the same position relative to the table for me.

try something like this... here's an outline of a program that will click the chat button on the active table, and move the chat box. You'll need to fill in some of the pieces.

F1::
id := winactive("A") ; get the windows id of the active table
wingetpos, tableX, tableY, tableW, tableH, ahk_id%id% ; get the pos of table
; use window spy to get the position of the + to open chat, fill in ???,???
MouseClick,Left,???,??? ; open the chat box
X := tableX + tableW
Y := tableY
WinMove, Chat:,,X,Y,???,??? ; move chat box, set w and h ???,???
return

nanochip

might also need a pause (sleep, 500) or winwaitactive before the WinMove

just change the window title for what you want and change the height width and it will resize all the windows to that size. have to move them yourself though.

Cool, ty.

Ok, so using nanochip's code, it seems to be working:

;
; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x
; Language: English
; Platform: Win9x/NT
; Author: A.N.Other <myemail@nowhere.com>
;
; Script Function:
; Template script (you can customize this template by editing "ShellNew\Template.ahk" in your Windows folder)
;

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
F1::
id := winactive("A") ; get the windows id of the active table
wingetpos, tableX, tableY, tableW, tableH, ahk_id%id% ; get the pos of table
; use window spy to get the position of the + to open chat, fill in ???,???
MouseClick,Left,226,449 ; open the chat box
X := tableX + tableW
Y := tableY
WinMove, Chat:,,X,Y,340,464 ; move chat box, set w and h ???,???
return

This is amazing. I'm going to play my first session with it in an hour, will post if I have trouble.

Thanks, everyone! PLOlover, your script worked perfectly also, but it seems nanochip's does everything I need.

I tried to change it to "c" instead of "F1", it wouldn't work. I guess F1 is better since it's not a commonly used key too. When I tried it with c and then typed c in Firefox, it moved my mouse. The reason I wanted to use something other than F1 is that I thought I remembered F1 being one of the keys used to control the avatar's emotions on FTP. I'll make it F12 for now.

Played a session with it. Works great. Thanks again everyone, especially nanochip.

nanochip, one last question. You said "might also need a pause (sleep, 500) or winwaitactive before the WinMove" - if it's working, should I worry about this?

yw

should be ok without it... I was just concerned the software might be too fast, and try to move it before the chat window was open.

Im trying to move the waitlist dialog at Full Tilt to another monitor and this is what I got so far [I really have no idea what Im doing].

This will move the window when I press F1, but only the first window [all of the waitlist dialogs have the same title "Seat Available"]. Also, I would prefer to have it do this automatically and I played around with the code a bit but could only get it to do it when I first launched the script and not while it was already running.

Basically, my question is this, how can I edit this basic code to automatically [or close to it] move all wait list dialogs to that specific spot on my desktop?

Thanks in advance, and I hope this isnt too much of a hijack

the recent FT update broke my script

can anyone help?

nevermind, looks like PlaceMint is going to work for this, will post again if I find out it won't
