This ahk script can get the path of the selected files/folders or of the current folder with a single keystroke,
How to convert this ahk script to StrokesPlus script?



#p::MsgBox % GetSelectedFilePaths()
GetSelectedFilePaths() {
WinGetClass, winClass, % "ahk_id" . hWnd := WinExist("A")
if (winClass ~= "Progman|WorkerW|(Cabinet|Explore)WClass") {
shellWindows := ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").Windows
if (winClass ~= "Progman|WorkerW")
shellFolderView := shellWindows.Item( ComObject(VT_UI4 := 0x13, SWC_DESKTOP := 0x8) ).Document
else {
for window in shellWindows
if (hWnd = window.HWND) && (shellFolderView := window.Document)
break
}
for item in shellFolderView.SelectedItems
result .= (result = "" ? "" : "`n") . item.Path
if !result
result := shellFolderView.Folder.Self.Path
} else {
ClipSave := ClipboardAll
Clipboard := ""
SendInput ^c
ClipWait 2
result := Clipboard
Clipboard := ClipSave
}
Return result
}

You can use the built-in method for this:
Code:
var files = sp.GetSelectedFilesInExplorer(sp.ForegroundWindow().HWnd); //or action.Window.HWnd is used in an action
var str = '';
var delim = '';
for(i = 0; i < files.Length; i++)
{
	str = str + delim + files[i];
	delim = '\r\n';
}
if(str.length == 0) str = '(no files selected)';
sp.MessageBox(str, 'Selected File(s)');

Can this ahk script apply to XYplorer be converted to StrokesPlus script, and apply to other similar software?


/*
XYGetPath() - paths of target window's selected items
XYGetAll() - paths of all items in the target window's folder
XYGetSelected() - path of target window's folder

example:
F10::
path := XYGetPath()
all := XYGetAll()
sel := XYGetSelected()
MsgBox % path
MsgBox % all
MsgBox % sel
return

*/

; Get our own HWND (we have no visible window)
DetectHiddenWindows, On
G_OwnHWND := WinExist("Ahk_PID " DllCall("GetCurrentProcessId"))
G_OwnHWND += 0

; Get messages back from XYplorer
OnMessage(0x4a, "Receive_WM_COPYDATA")

$F10::
path := XYGetPath()
all := XYGetAll()
sel := XYGetSelected()
MsgBox % path
MsgBox % all
MsgBox % sel
return


XYGetPath()
{
return XY_Get()
}


XYGetAll()
{
return XY_Get(true)
}


XYGetSelected()
{
return XY_Get(, true)
}


XY_Get(bAll:=false, bSelection:=false)
{
global dataReceived, G_OwnHWND

xyQueryScript =
( LTrim Join
::
if (!%bAll% && !%bSelection%) {
$return = "<curpath>";
} elseif (%bAll%) {
$return = listpane(, , , "<crlf>");
} elseif (%bSelection%) {
$return = get("SelectedItemsPathNames", "<crlf>");
}
copydata %G_OwnHWND%, "$return", 2;
)

Send_WM_COPYDATA(xyQueryScript)

return dataReceived
}


GetXYHWND() {
IfWinActive, ahk_class ThunderRT6FormDC
{
WinGet, xyHwnd, ID, ahk_class ThunderRT6FormDC
} else {
WinGet, xyHwnd, List, ahk_class ThunderRT6FormDC
if (xyHwnd)
xyHwnd := xyHwnd1
}

return xyHwnd
}


Send_WM_COPYDATA(message) {
xyHwnd := GetXYHWND()

if !(xyHwnd)
return

size := StrLen(message)
if !(A_IsUnicode) {
VarSetCapacity(data, size * 2, 0)
StrPut(message, &data, size, "UTF-16")
} else {
data := message
}
VarSetCapacity(COPYDATA, A_PtrSize * 3, 0)
NumPut(4194305, COPYDATA, 0, "Ptr")
NumPut(size * 2, COPYDATA, A_PtrSize, "UInt")
NumPut(&data, COPYDATA, A_PtrSize * 2, "Ptr")
result := DllCall("User32.dll\SendMessageW", "Ptr", xyHWND, "UInt", 74, "Ptr", 0, "Ptr", &COPYDATA, "Ptr")
return
}


Receive_WM_COPYDATA(wParam, lParam) {
global dataReceived

stringAddress := NumGet(lParam + 2 * A_PtrSize)
copyOfData := StrGet(stringAddress)
cbData := NumGet(lParam + A_PtrSize) / 2
StringLeft, dataReceived, copyOfData, cbData

return
}

S+ already uses WM_COPYDATA for other things and would need to be altered to receive XY's data. The best bet here would be to make a plug-in with its own message pump to send and receive messages with XY.

That's a bit complicated though, if you're not familiar with coding and Windows messaging.

Thanks Rob. I'm not a programmer,it seems difficult to do this without using the system clipboard.

Hello!

If you happen to use Windows 11, you could perform the same action by just choosing Ctrl + Shift + C as your hotkey. This shortcut lets you copy to the clipboard the path of one or more files you select.
