I'm following this awesome AutoHotkeyScript and having difficulty getting the Set Default button to be clicked.

off topic: If you want to replicate, I had to change a few commands for detection of the Sound window to work, so here's where I currently am:

   Run mmsys.cpl

   IfWinNotActive,  Sound, , WinActivate,  Sound, 

   WinWait,Sound ; Change "Sound" to the name of the window in your local language

   ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down 1} ; This number selects the matching audio device in the list, change it accordingly

   Sleep, 100

   ControlClick, &Set Default; Change "&Set Default" to the name of the button in your local language

   Sleep, 100

   ;ControlClick,OK

now, the AHK log shows this as executing:

109: {

110: toggle := !toggle

112: if toggle  

114: Run,mmsys.cpl

115: IfWinNotActive,Sound,l

115: WinActivate,Sound (0.03)

116: WinWait,Sound (0.31)

119: ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down 1} (0.01)

120: Sleep,100 (0.11)

121: ControlClick,&Set Default; Change "&Set Default" to the name of the button in your local language

122: Sleep,100 (0.11)

124: }

125: if !toggle  

138: }

139: Return (6.74)

but &Set Default isn't being clicked.
I've verified that the button name is, in fact, &Set Default.
I guess I could use ClassNN's Button2, but I'd like to know -why- this isn't working, not just hack my way through it.

Alternatively I can send [alt down]S[alt up] to set it as default, but again, that's hacking, and why isn't the simple ControlClick working?

doh, looks like it's a simple syntax problem:

1. you don't need a semicolon at the end of every line


2. you do need a space delimiter between the command and the semicolon.

for example, WinWait, Sound; is a problem but WinWait, Sound ; is correct.

For ControlClick:
I finally found my own solution after skimming the documentation more thoroughly:

https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/ControlClick.htm#Reliability

You can specify NA as the sixth parameter to wait for the mouse button to lift.
I found that when firing Control, Check, ,Button1 prior to ControlClick the click didn't work, but adding the NA to the end somehow magically fixed it. I suppose a click was being simulated and had not yet lifted.
