sharpAHK

modifications

This is the original package at https://github.com/LucidMethod/sharpAHK with some very minor modifications.

At times I've found it necessary to use the AutoHotkey.dll boolean function

ahkReady()

to prevent a host application from "trumping" AHK. The primary use I have for it is basically as follows (C#):

//Load a library or exec scripts in a file
while (ahk.IsReady()==false) {
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
}
// Included as a precaution and probably superfluous
string filestring = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, filelist);
ahk.SetVar("ouch", filestring);
ahk.LoadFile(ahkFileToLoad, false);
ahk.ExecFunction("StartXL");
//MessageBox.Show("Stop thread"); This would be required
// otherwise to stop the thread.
while (ahk.IsReady()==true) {
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
}
ahk.Reset();

The following modifications were made to AutoHotkeyEngine.cs:

                        /// <summary>
        /// Determines whether state is "Ready" or not
        /// </summary>
        /// <param>No parameters</param>
        /// <returns>Returns true if the state is "Ready", otherwise false</returns>
        public bool IsReady()
        {
                    if (AutoHotkeyDll.ahkReady() == true) {
                        return true;
                    }
                    else {
                        return false;
                    }
        }

This is more verbose than required, but the compiler optimizes it as follows:

public bool IsReady()
{
    return AutoHotkeyDll.ahkReady();
}

The following modifications were made to _AutoHotkey.cs:

                        /// <summary>
        /// Determines whether state is "Ready" or not
        /// </summary>
        /// <param>No parameters</param>
        /// <returns>Returns true if the state is "Ready", otherwise false</returns>
        public bool IsReady()
        {
            //create an autohotkey engine (AHK DLL) or use existing instance if it hasn't been initiated
            if (ahkGlobal.ahkdll == null) { New_AHKSession(); }
            var ahkdll = ahkGlobal.ahkdll;

            bool ready = ahkdll.IsReady();

            Log("bool ready (" + ready + ") = ahk.IsReady();");

            return ready;
        }

This was done as a precaution, and I have not yet found a use for it. There may well be one. If not, I will eventually remove it.

Thanks to LucidMethod for the hard work on the original package.
