Bonjour Jean!
this is more an FYI item then a wish list... your QAP is very complex so I don't know you'd go about intergrating this BUT...
are you aware of Menu_SetModeless("MenuName") ??
It + addeds Modeless Menu Function, a windows DllCall that allow you use hotkeys from the script when the menu is open! Usually AHK blocks hotkeys when its busy showing a menu.
and it works!!
I have my PrintScreen key managed by AHK so getting screen shots of my menus has been a pain in the neck until now!! I can have myMenu and my Printscreen too!!
I just stumbled upon it this week, using the code from this post...
https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey/comm...ing_shown/
I'm totally working this into my Extended Capslocks Menu
Code:Menu_SetModeless("dtmenu") ; make menu modeless
Menu_SetModeless("insert") ; make menu modeless
;; etc
;; etc
;; etc for each menu
return ;; first return, end autoexe
; source: https://www.reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey/comments/193wdki/hotkeys_are_dont_work_when_a_menu_is_being_shown/
; This function self initializes. No need to call it manually.
; When the user clicks away to close the menu, the message WM_ACTIVATEAPP is sent.
; Calling EndMenu on WM_ACTIVATEAPP fixes the bug that causes a modeless menu to show in the previous position.
; this function allows hotkeys to be triggred when a menu is visiable, usually ahk blocks hotkeys when its busy displaying a menu.
ModelessMenuEnd(wParam) {
static _ := OnMessage(0x0000001C, "ModelessMenuEnd") ; WM_ACTIVATEAPP
if !wParam
DllCall("EndMenu")
}
Menu_SetModeless(menuNameOrHandle)
{
if menuNameOrHandle is Not Integer
hMenu := MenuGetHandle(menuNameOrHandle)
else
hMenu := menuNameOrHandle
if !hMenu
return
size := 16+3*A_PtrSize
VarSetCapacity(MenuInfo, size, 0)
NumPut(size, MenuInfo, 0) ;cbsize
MIM_STYLE := 0x10
MNS_MODELESS := 0x40000000
NumPut(MIM_STYLE, MenuInfo, 4) ;fmask
DllCall("GetMenuInfo", "ptr", hMenu, "ptr", &MenuInfo)
style := NumGet(MenuInfo, 8, "uint") ; check dwStyle
if !(style & MNS_MODELESS) ; If dwStyle not modeless
{
; Set MNS_MODELESS style
NumPut(style|MNS_MODELESS, MenuInfo, 8)
DllCall("SetMenuInfo", "uint", hMenu, "uint", &MenuInfo)
}

Bonjour Xavier,
I tried the code in the reddit link. It shows that you can continue to use hotkeys from the same script while the modeless menu is open. In my tests, the menus closes as soon as you click elsewhere, activate a window or use a hotkey from another script. I added an item to the wishlist to try this as an option (https://forum.quickaccesspopup.com/showt...p?tid=2925).
Thanks,
Jean
