            var ipcHandler = new Func<string, string>(fromAhk =>
            {
                Console.WriteLine("received message from ahk " + fromAhk);

            //the initalize pipes module only needs to be called once per application
            ahk.InitalizePipesModule(ipcHandler);

            ahk.ExecRaw(@"
            BindHotkey(hk, id){
                fn := Func(""HkEvent"").Bind(id, ""1"")
                hotkey, % hk, % fn

                fn := Func(""HkEvent"").Bind(id, ""0"")
                hotkey, % hk "" up"", % fn
            }

            HkEvent(id, state){
                SendPipeMessage(""HK EVENT! ID = "" id "", State = "" state)
            }

            ");

            ahk.ExecRaw(@"BindHotkey(""F12"", ""999"")");

            while (true)
            {

            }
        }
    }
}

Sometimes a runtime error is thrown ("Functions cannot contain functions")
Sometimes none of the hotkeys work
Hotkeys NEVER fire as often as they should (Spam F12 and you do not see a console log for each press / release)
If you have a release hotkey, after about the 5th press/release, all hotkeys stop firing

Is there way to wait for the script to exit before returning control back to C#. Either via callback or blocking call?

For example

MessageBox.Show("This is run before user pressed Alt + X");
await ahk.ExecRawAsync("!x::MsgBox, Alt X was pressed and caught by AHK Engine");
MessageBox.Show("This is run after user pressed Alt + X");

Is it support Multithreading? I want check some variable with GetVar and do PixelSearch at the same time. I tried to create 2 ahk objects (AutoHotkeyEngine ahk for GetVar andAutoHotkeyEngine sahk for ExecRaw (PixelSearch) but I still can`t use them at the same time).

Hi
there is a way to disable the "original" message error ?
in AutoHotkey.exe i have /ErrorStdOut for disable the error message output
i would like intercept the error
is possible ?

@amazing-andrew
Every time I try to use ExitApp with ExecRaw I get an exception. Has anyone experienced this? The full text of the error is below.

System.AccessViolationException occurred
HResult=0x80004003
Message=Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Hey Andrew, I've been working with your Interop to develop a DLL building off the original dll. The first release will contain all of the AHK commands wrapped in individual functions + includes Error Level info returned from AHK. I'm about 90% finished coding it, currently working to document. My goal is to test/develop that release to the point where it's ready to create a NuGet package to bring AHK into Visual Studio easily. I was just wondering if you had any interest in consulting / contributing to the effort? I'm still on the green side of coding but an avid AHK user looking for those functions in C#. So far so good :) Feel free to email me if interested - [email protected]

When I'm using 2 apps which are using AHK.Interop only 1 app that was launched first is working properly. In second app AHK functions are not working. How to fix it?

It is possible to use with VB6? How?

Thanks

I'm creating a new AHK instance at my WPF window load event. However, if I close the window and open the same window quickly, I get a dialog box with "RegClass" as the text. This only happens if I close and open the window quickly.

Recreation steps.

1. Create ahk = new AutoHotkey.Interop.AutoHotkeyEngine(); in the Window Load. Then call ExecRaw to execute some command.
2. Open the Window.
3. Close the Window.
4. IMPORTANT: Open the window again very quickly (within 2-3 seconds)
   Outcome: There will be a dialog box with the Message "RegClass" and then the application will crash.

In my ahk script file I have put the hotstring example:
::btw::by the way

But nothing happens if I type them on a notepd. Same when run with AutoHotkey works.

I am trying to create a new instance of the AutoHotkeyEngine class using the AutoHotkeyVersion.v2 but my applications (C# .NET 4.7.2) throws a DllNotFoundException.

If I use the .Instance or the default constructor, the program works.

Do I need to do anything besides just installing the package to use v2?

Thanks!

So I'm attempting to implement your DLL which sounds easy but I cannot get it to work within my own c# .NET Winforms project.

I've downloaded your example solution and that is running just fine. It compiles, runs and works just as you'd expect.

I've try taking the DLL at this location:

AutoHotkey.Interop-master\AutoHotkey.Interop-master\src\AutoHotkey.Interop\bin\Debug\AutoHotkey.Interop.dll

and add that to my project. It adds just fine but when I try this line:

var ahk = AutoHotkey.Interop.AutoHotkeyEngine();

I get a compilation error that is attached. Please advise.

The only differences I can see between my project and your example project is in the object browser.

Your example project looks like this:

My project seems to be missing things:

I also went as far as adding your entire AutoHotkey.Interop proect to my project and referencing the project itself. That also did not work. Same compilation error.

I am using this Wrapper in a Desktop Bridge App , most of the functions work fine, but some are causing a non-catchable, deadly AccessViolation Exception.
These exceptions only happen if the app is "bridged"

Minimal reproducable example:

• Package WPF App
• Install Autohotkey.Interop Nuget Package
• Run the following code:

var ahk = AutoHotkeyEngine.Instance; 
ahk.LoadScript("Reload");
