Here is my updated code with windows GUI brightness overlay... working on my Lenovo laptop with Win 10.
#SingleInstance, Force
; Mouse scroll up and down holding shift
+WheelDown::
{
AdjustScreenBrightness(-10)
BrightnessOSD()
return
}
+WheelUp::
{
AdjustScreenBrightness(10)
BrightnessOSD()
return
}
AdjustScreenBrightness(step) {
service := "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\WMI"
monitors := ComObjGet(service).ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM WmiMonitorBrightness WHERE Active=TRUE")
monMethods := ComObjGet(service).ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM wmiMonitorBrightNessMethods WHERE Active=TRUE")
minBrightness := 0
curt := 0
for monitor in monitors {
curt := monitor.CurrentBrightness
break
}
if (curt < minBrightness) {
curt := minBrightness
}
toSet := curt + step
if (toSet > 100) {
return
}
if (toSet < minBrightness) {
toSet := minBrightness
}
for method in monMethods {
method.WmiSetBrightness(1, toSet)
break
}
}
BrightnessOSD() {
static PostMessagePtr := DllCall("GetProcAddress", "Ptr", DllCall("GetModuleHandle", "Str", "user32.dll", "Ptr"), "AStr", A_IsUnicode ? "PostMessageW" : "PostMessageA", "Ptr")
,WM_SHELLHOOK := DllCall("RegisterWindowMessage", "Str", "SHELLHOOK", "UInt")
static FindWindow := DllCall("GetProcAddress", "Ptr", DllCall("GetModuleHandle", "Str", "user32.dll", "Ptr"), "AStr", A_IsUnicode ? "FindWindowW" : "FindWindowA", "Ptr")
HWND := DllCall(FindWindow, "Str", "NativeHWNDHost", "Str", "", "Ptr")
IF !(HWND) {
try IF ((shellProvider := ComObjCreate("{C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}", "{00000000-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"))) {
try IF ((flyoutDisp := ComObjQuery(shellProvider, "{41f9d2fb-7834-4ab6-8b1b-73e74064b465}", "{41f9d2fb-7834-4ab6-8b1b-73e74064b465}"))) {
DllCall(NumGet(NumGet(flyoutDisp+0)+3*A_PtrSize), "Ptr", flyoutDisp, "Int", 0, "UInt", 0)
,ObjRelease(flyoutDisp)
}
ObjRelease(shellProvider)
}
HWND := DllCall(FindWindow, "Str", "NativeHWNDHost", "Str", "", "Ptr")
}
DllCall(PostMessagePtr, "Ptr", HWND, "UInt", WM_SHELLHOOK, "Ptr", 0x37, "Ptr", 0)
}
If there was a way to adjust the brightness through "hovering the mouse on the top part of screen and then using the mouse wheel", instead of pressing the Shift key on the keyboard while using the mouse wheel would be a great, speedy action and yet more practical to my mind.
Could the current code be written this way? I did not have the knowledge to write it myself :(

Updated Script for AHK v2. I could not get the OS brightness popup to work, So I implemented my own tooltip.
