autoit - Want AutoIt3 HotKeySet to Emulate AutoHotKey Application Filtering -


objective

i building generic solution advanced controlling of arbitrary programs ui using autoit3, invoked pressing various keys, or issuing command.

components

  • targetui - program controlled sending clicks , keys
  • mainau3 - autoit program doing sending
  • mainini - file containing control positions , other info in specialized notation, contains hotkey information. info specific particular targetui - ie. 1 mainini each targetui
  • keyhookscript - optional? either autoit or autohotkey script

facts

  • hotkeyset() - autoit function allows setting , unsetting of system-wide hotkeys
  • autohotkey - scripting language - allows application filtering hotkeys via #ifwinactive
  • mainau3 designed take command param, provided keyhookscript
  • mainau3 slow invoke, due parsing of mainini on startup, necc. due program goals

issues

  • since mainau3 slow invoke, 1 option have run in background , have own keyhooks, or have keyhookscript communicate somehow
  • mainau3 , mainini have more 1 instance -- instance each targetui. causes collision if using hotkeyset() in each mainau3 unless set , unset everytime targetuis focus - seems asking trouble

anticipated approach

  • it looks need mainau3manager monitors applications , ensures proper mainau3/mainini running needed. need maintain singleton(?) keyhookscript written in autohotkey

questions

  • how ill-advised attempt swap out hotkeyset/unset via each mainau3 based on application has focus , targetui?
  • given bad approach, communication method best talk running mainau3s?
  • how hard create own hooking mechanism in autoit via _ispressed, , create "polling problem" if running in each mainau3

communication methods

these ones can think of , want fast , reliable, , coded haha

  • file based - create file(s) in directory containing command, let mainau3 delete it/them
  • registry - slower files
  • hidden window - communicate setting window text (i know!) faster file?
  • hidden window - sendmessage ugh, hard code
  • dde - don't me started

decision point

i need communicate running mainau3 regardless, because, reasons. real issue whether embed keyhook mechanism inside mainau3 instances or not.

what if autoit had reliable mechanism keyhooks application specific in autohotkeys #ifwinactive.

if embed, hate both options of setting , unsetting hotkeyset(), polling _ispressed(). again, external keyhook via autohotkey pain too.

i think try embedding hotkeyset() first, , see how acts.

any advice?

note "communication" one-way - need send commands.

in case gui trying control own gui:

if want hotkeys not system wide, should use

guisetaccelerators ( accelerators [, winhandle] )

guisetaccelerators  sets accelerator table used in gui window.

parameters

accelerators    2 dimensional array holding accelerator table (see remarks). winhandle   [optional] windows handle returned guicreate() (default used window).

remarks

the array passed function contains hotkey , control id of accelerator. array must defined local/global $aarray[n][2] - n number of accelerator keys set:      $aarray[0][0] = hotkey (in hotkeyset() format) of 1st accelerator     $aarray[0][1] = control id of 1st accelerator, returned guictrlcreate...     $aarray[1][0] = hotkey of 2nd accelerator     $aarray[1][1] = control id of 2nd accelerator     ...     $aarray[n][0] = hotkey of nth accelerator     $aarray[n][1] = control id of nth accelerator  passing function non-array unset accelerators given winhandle.

example:

#include <guiconstantsex.au3> #include <msgboxconstants.au3>  example()  func example()     guicreate("custom msgbox", 225, 80)      guictrlcreatelabel("please select button.", 10, 10)     local $idyes = guictrlcreatebutton("yes", 10, 50, 65, 25)     local $idno = guictrlcreatebutton("no", 80, 50, 65, 25)     local $idexit = guictrlcreatebutton("exit", 150, 50, 65, 25)      ; set guiaccelerators button controlids, these being ctrl + y , ctrl + n     local $aaccelkeys[2][2] = [["^y", $idyes],["^n", $idno]]     guisetaccelerators($aaccelkeys)      guisetstate(@sw_show) ; display gui.      while 1         switch guigetmsg()             case $gui_event_close                 msgbox($mb_systemmodal, "you selected", "close")                 exitloop              case $idyes                 msgbox($mb_systemmodal, "you selected", "yes") ; displays if button selected or hotkey combination ctrl + y pressed.              case $idno                 msgbox($mb_systemmodal, "you selected", "no") ; displays if button selected or hotkey combination ctrl + n pressed.              case $idexit                 msgbox($mb_systemmodal, "you selected", "exit")                 exitloop          endswitch     wend     guidelete() ; delete gui. endfunc   ;==>example

if controlling external gui maybe try fiddling any gui make work

c# - Validate object ID from GET to POST -

i have method allows user access comment have made on site. have post method lets them update comment. my normal solution send entire comment model through, let them update it, update on database when post back. involve sending commentid through in hiddenfor , can manipulated. how can verify commentid sent in get method same i'm getting in post , not able alter comment wish? how can verify commentid sent in method same i'm getting in post? basically have validate following things in post - user logged-in user. authenticated users post comments. commentid in post , should valid commentid , should present in database. userid associated logged-in user should same userid associated comment . comment should contain userid column, can check @ time of update. to make sure update happens comment has been sent in get - hold commentid in session , in post action compare commentid value in session .
