Problem with maxfps and maxfpsbk

[Freddie]

Would you mind doing a little testing to help me figure out what's wrong? Let's make a pair of extremely simple hotkeys in a new script all by themselves.

Please drag WoW1 and/or WoW2 so they partly overlap so you can see if the foreground window changes.

<Hotkey F1>
   <TargetWin WoW1>
   <SetForegroundWin>

<Hotkey F2>
   <TargetWin WoW2>
   <SetForegroundWin>

Do those work?

That works

[rahven32]

Think it has something to do with <ResizeAndPosition WoW1 WoW2 WoW3 WoW4 WoW5>?

[Freddie]

The commmand looks fine to me. Maybe it's because you're sending SetForegroundWin five times in each hotkey, although I'm not sure why Windows would care. That happens because it's included in SendLabel, and SendLabel happens five times since there are five labels. The Sendlabel statement doesn't accomplish anything here so you can remove it.

Why did you include the <Key> statement in the hotkeys?

How about rewriting the hotkeys like this:

<Hotkey F8>
   <ResizeAndPosition WoW1 WoW2 WoW3 WoW4 WoW5>
   <TargetWin WoW1>
   <SetForegroundWin>

[rahven32]

Wrote it like that and it's still doing it. As far as key goes I wrote it out bare with just keys at first and just forgot to get rid of those.

[Freddie]

There must be something in the script I'm not noticing. Could you post the complete script in its exact current form? I'll load it into HotkeyNet and watch it execute in the debugger.

There ya go.

Thanks. I think maybe I see the problem. The command uses SendWin for one of the windows. SendWin changes the foreground window. Could you try rewriting the command with TargetWin like this:

//-----------------------------------------------------------
// SUBROUTINE TO Position Windows.
//-----------------------------------------------------------
<Command ResizeAndPosition>
<SendPC Local>
	<TargetWin %1%>
		<SetWinRect 384 0 1536 1200>
	<TargetWin  %2%>
		<SetWinRect 0 0 384 300>
	<TargetWin  %3%>
		<SetWinRect 0 300 384 300>
	<TargetWin  %4%>
		<SetWinRect 0 600 384 300>
	<TargetWin  %5%>
		<SetWinRect 0 900 384 300>

And we have a winner! That fixed it right up. Thank you =) It was pegging my cpu at 100% just standing around idle. No way I could of done anything.

Was close to giving up and just using SetActiveWindowTracking or something like that to have focus follow the mouse and just wave my mouse around when I switched. Wouldn't of been very elegant but would of worked in a pinch =p

[Freddie]

You're welcome. Sorry this took so long. I should have seen it right away. I think I've forgotten so much about the program that it's getting hard for me to give user support.
