More AHK Goodness - show list of project files

caveatrob · Feb 10, 2012#12012-02-10T23:25+00:00

Not sure if I just couldn't find a hotkey in the configuration or what, but I wanted to press Ctrl+L and see the searchable list of project files.

In AutoHotkey ( https://www.autohotkey.com ):

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive, .*UltraEdit$

    ^l::
    {

 PostMessage, 0x111, 33195, 0, , A
 return
    }
#IfWinActive

I'm not sure which window you mean.

UltraEdit has the command ProjectFilesSettings in the Key Mapping configuration dialog for assigning a hotkey to this command opening the project settings dialog where also the project files are listed.

UEStudio has additionally the command IntellitipFileList in the Key Mapping configuration dialog for assigning a hotkey to the command which opens a small quick window listing the project files as the command File List in the IntelliTip toolbar opens.

In the File View, Project tab you can right-click the project name and choose "list files in project," which pops a search/listview for you to narrow down files.

I don't like having to use the mouse, so I used that AHK script to map it to the keyboard.

Were you implying such easy access was only available in the UEStudio product? Because I code using UltraEdit and would hate to think there are little productivity enhancements in one product that could be carried back to another.

Ah, now it is clear which window you mean. Yes, the command to open this window with the list of project files is available only in the context sensitive popup menu of the Project tab of the File Tree View (UE) respectively Workspace Manager (UES).

The IntelliTips feature is not available in UltraEdit at all. The command IntelliTip file list lists also file names which are part of the project but not listed in the project settings dialog. Those files are included mainly with #include <includefile.h> and only the IntelliTips feature knows where such include files are located. Those files can be found in the standard library folder(s) of the used compiler. And UEStudio can find them automatically only if using a project template of UEStudio containing the specification of the standard library include paths. UltraEdit projects do not contain any compiler specific settings.

Sweet! UltraEdit and AHK are two of my favourite all purpose "get things done tools" - thanks for this!

Mine too. I have infinity of scripts. Ahk has a very lively irc channel #ahk on irc.freenode.com

I use a lot of scripts also outside of UE, which is why I generally don't write UE macros. Plus ahk lets you make quick and dirty GUIs. Nudge nudge UltraEdit scripting engine person

Hi, I'm also a fan of both UE and ahk. I see you used #ifWinExist here to test if the active window is UE.
Using the ahk spy, it seems that UE does not its own special ahkClass value to use in e.g.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_class ....

If one wants to request this, which of IDM vs. Authotkey do you think one should contact?

caveatrob · Oct 29, 2014#82014-10-29T18:15+00:00

Make sure

Code: Select all

settitlematchmode, regex

is set at the top, and then use this:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive,ahk_class Afx:00400000.*

It does a partial match on the part of the UE class that doesn't change.

I've got a much larger script that's kind of muddled, but I use the following method for the SendMessage constants:

Code: Select all

;---------------------------------------------------
;	# Run app function (sendmessage)
;---------------------------------------------------
SendApp(iConstant) {

	SendMessage, 0x111, iConstant, 0,, A
}

I use the following constants. Note that some are positional (I've used my own tool names for tools 1-5, but those correspond to the order of your tools)

Code: Select all

I do some custom coding now and again for baby money, so if you need something specific, let me know. I'm happy to help with the general things for free when I have time.

Hello!

How were you able to determine value of 33195 for that specific action "List files in project..."?

I would like to have another hotkey that would "Select Active File", but I don't know what would be the value to pass into the PostMessage.

Thanks

Hi Guidam,

Tools like Resource Hacker can be used to find out the identifier number of a resource like a popup menu item.

But the context menu of the project in tab Project of File View is something special because it is dynamically constructed from popup menu and string resources. Most of these resources are in ueres.dll, but some are in executable of UltraEdit, i.e. uedit32.exe or uedit64.exe. The last menu item Select active file is a string from a string table resource in UltraEdit executable while most other items like List files in project... are from a popup menu resource in ueres.dll, whereby the popup menu resource contains the string Open File in Project... with identifier number 33195 instead of List files in project....

The string Select active file has the resource identifier number 61465. I don't know if this is also the identifier number used for the dynamic popup menu item, but I think so as it would explain the wrong prompt text in status bar for this menu item. Try it out if this number works in your AutoHotkey script.

Thank you Mofi
This works as expected.
I will take a closer look to Resource Hacker later, but for now I'm really glad with your complete answer
