[AHKTuts] Adv - Ep3 - DllCall [P2]

In this video i go over the basic concepts of DllCall.

What it is, and how can we use it to enhance our scripts when the available autohotkey commands are not enough for the task we have in mind.

I try to clarify what is "difficult" about it, and i provide you with some information about msdn which is a very good resource that we can use to get information about functions that we can call with DllCall.

Helpful to me even after 8 years... I realized that it's a pitty you don't publish Ahk material anymore at this channel. I'd love to see some more of your tutorials.

Sir, please tell which function to call? As you called LoadCursor, SetCursor and SetCursorPos functions, so please tell how you know that these specific functions you have to call? Please help and guide.. Thanks ..

Thanks for the reply. Let me know if I understand this right. The control which is called "Static1" was created when the Gui, Add, Text, , % "url.com" was executed. If there was a second line which added more text, then it would be assigned to "Static2" and thus would not change the Icon cursor to the hand icon but the URL text would?

Hi, great video again.

Quick question though. The statement that says "If ctrl in static1". I get that ctrl is a variable name created from the return of the MouseGetPos call and is being compared with static1. But what is "static1"? is it a window title name that was retrieved from the AHK gui it created? is it related to the "static" written above it? I'm still learning AHK which implies a difficult learning curve in windows and C++ syntax, but I'm catching on quick.. Thanks Ramjet.
