[AHK] Different default text in comments for different categories

[Niko]

By default in Preferences -> Task -> Defaults you can type text which will be shown in the Comments tab of a new task. Unfortunately I didn't find any option that will set different text for different categories. Running UDT with -cm parameter if you have 2-3 categories would be Ok, but, suppose you have 10-12 categories, so you have to choose different buttons or hotkeys for each new task, like in the example below:

Code: Select all

- cm "Comment text category X"
- cm "Comment text category X + 1"

I think it will be more convenient if you press only one button (hotkey) and set different text for different categories of tasks.

Here is the code for AutoHotKey

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

Numpad2::
ControlGetText, TextFromRichField, RICHEDIT50W2, ahk_exe ToDoList.exe  ; RICHEDIT50W2 - the name of the comment tab
if StrLen(TextFromRichField) != 0
	MsgBox, you have something in the text field: %TextFromRichField%    ; Checking whether you have any other text in the comment tab
else
	ControlGetText, CategoryName, ComboBox39, ahk_exe ToDoList.exe ; CombBox39 the name of the class of the input field for Category
	if CategoryName = BooksToRead ; BooksToRead - is the name of category, replace it with a category from your TDL
	{
		TextForCategory_1 = Main points of the chapter: `n1. `n2. `n3. `nContradictions: `n1. `n2. ; Replace the text with yours 
		ControlSetText, RICHEDIT50W2, %TextForCategory_1% , ahk_exe ToDoList.exe  ; RICHEDIT50W2 -  the name of the comment tab
		
	}
	if CategoryName = EVD ; The name of second category
	{
		TextForCategory_1 = This text is for another category
		ControlSetText, RICHEDIT50W2, %TextForCategory_1% , ahk_exe ToDoList.exe
	}
