@guinness - delete your scite settings in %appdata%LocalAutoIt v3SciTE and reinstall the S4A package it may be the new .lua file that is causing the problem

indent the "If" and try it - if the "If" is at column 0, then the "Else" has no choice but to align itself properly

it's that same regardless of the code

i uninstalled both autoit and the scite package, deleted all leftovers, and re-installed both packages (the release versions as on the downloads pages) the result is the same... If 'this' Then 'that' Else the 'Else' is not indented properly, regardless of whether i backspace before typing 'Else' or not - after typing Else and pressing Enter, Else is not properly indented

i have the latest S4A package installed as provided here: http://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit-script-editor/downloads/ or do you mean the whole AutoIt installer?

I think that's the trouble though - 'Else' is not indented according to the parent [-] If 'this' Then 'that' [-]Else 'die' EndIf

v3.4.1. and one previous version i believe (win 7 x64 sp1) if i enter... If Else ...and press Enter after i type 'Else', i end up with... If Else

i would suggest checking the error/return values from each of the functions to see what is failing

not sure AutoIt is what you're looking for - it sounds to me like you want a chunk of software that will communicate directly with a chunk of hardware ... and that's called a device driver which, far as i'm aware, is beyond what AutoIt is capable of it might be a different story if you were open to grabbing data from the existing driver

or take a look at GUIRegisterMsg and (possibly) WM_SETFOCUS

what's wrong with exactly what you have? assuming the text contains a line something like "notepad.exe" or"[path]program.exe", what you have should work

the attached file is what is supposed to be a multi-res icon containing 2 images; 64x64 and 128x128, created with GIMP and exported as an ico file i'm having trouble trying to get GUICtrlSetImage to apply the correct icon for the buttons - in my case, the 128 icon is never displayed and i don't know why #include <ButtonConstants.au3> Global $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 900, 300, -1, -1) Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 0, 28, 128, 128, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico", "ico128") Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 125, 28, 128, 128, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico", -1) Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 250, 28, 128, 128, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico", -2) Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 375, 28, 128, 128, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico") Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 500, 28, 128, 128, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico", -1, 0) Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 625, 28, 128, 128, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico", -1, 1) Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 750, 28, 128, 128, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico", -1, 2) Global $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 0, 200, 64, 64, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico", "ico64") Global $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 100, 200, 64, 64, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico", -1) Global $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 200, 200, 64, 64, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico", -2) Global $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 300, 200, 64, 64, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, @ScriptDir & "\icon.ico") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case -3 Exit EndSwitch WEnd icon.ico

This UDF was originally written by ProgAndy, who gave up Windows, and thus AutoIt, in favor of Linux. Apparently he was well liked and respected for his capabilities, and will be missed. I have been playing with this UDF and modifying it a bit for my own use and i wanted to post the code (permission was granted from ProgAndy after i finally managed to reach him). The original code is still available at progandy.de and is also added here as an attachment. My modified version is attached. You will need the ProgAndy version for the dll code and examples. I think this is a really cool project that could be useful to many, so it would be nice if we could work on it and improve it. I'm not very knowledgeable regarding the depths of AutoIt capabilities, and am especially weak in anything having to do with DLL's. I will post a complete example with a GUI in the near future, but for now, here is my modified UDF... #include-once ; #INDEX# ======================================================================================================================= ;

bitten by the boolean for the last time from the help file... this lead not only myself, but i'm sure many others, to ass-u-me that the "0" in "$bOff = 0 " will always be interpreted as False when it's compared to a boolean, which is of course false - pun intended >this post was most helpful to me, particularly example #3

quite the comprehensive screen-cap utility for me, on win 7 with v1.0.5, the option to place the image on the clipboard does not work, which is interesting because i can't get it to work in a similar utility that i'm working on either i also happened to notice this - maybe you intended to use _ClipBoard_SetDataEx? ... UPDATE: i think you have to use _ClipBoard_SetDataEx - i just switched it out in my script and now it works _ClipBoard_Open(0) _ClipBoard_SetData($hBitmap, $CF_BITMAP) _ClipBoard_Close() for my screen region capture, i prefer a simple click and drag method to select the region rather than having to move/resize a box - if you are interested in this, let me know an i'll post a code sample if you want

As many are aware, the standard AutoIt Send() function can leave modifier keys (usually Shift, Alt, Ctrl) in a pressed-like state. While there are at least a few alternatives that can be found on this forum, as well as one in the Wiki (which i can't find at the moment), they have all failed me at some point, leaving a modifier key "stuck". So far i have had no issues with this function however.

works fine after i changed a couple things - you used '$WS_SYSMENU' twice and other styles you chose are breaking it - see the help file for gui control styles #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include "F:\AutoIt\Resources\Funcs\_other\HotKey_Yashid\HotKey_2.1b.au3" #include "F:\AutoIt\Resources\Funcs\_other\HotKey_Yashid\HotKey_vkConstants.au3" Global $hWnd $hWnd = GUICreate("HotKeys", 800, 600) ;, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_CAPTION, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SYSMENU, $DS_CONTEXTHELP, $WS_SYSMENU, $WS_VISIBLE, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_THICKFRAME)) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hWnd) _HotKey_Assign($VK_RETURN, "PressedEnter", $HK_FLAG_NOBLOCKHOTKEY, $hWnd) ConsoleWrite("error=" & @error & @LF) While GUIGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Sleep(10) WEnd GUIDelete($hWnd) Exit Func PressedEnter() ConsoleWrite("Pressed enter") EndFunc ...

a handle to the dll is open - i ommited that part i'll post the rest of the while loop code as soon as i make a sample...

hi BrewManNH i started to wonder exactly the same thing as i was thinking about this - here is the basic mechanics of it... While 1 Sleep(20) If $Enable = 0 Then ContinueLoop ElseIf _IsPressedEx("0x01") And Not _IsPressedEx("0x11") And Not _IsPressedEx("0x12") Then ; mouse 1 ; then do stuff ElseIf _IsPressedEx("0x04") And Not _IsPressedEx("0x10") And Not _IsPressedEx("0x11") And Not _IsPressedEx("0x12") Then ; mouse 3 ; then do stuff EndIf WEnd Func _IsPressedEx($sVKey) Local $aRet = DllCall($hUser32Dll, "short", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int", $sVKey) If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, False) Return BitAND($aRet[0], 0x8000) <> 0 EndFunc there's allot of code removed where i stuck "then do stuff", but basically i want to know when the left or middle mouse button is pressed $Enable is usually 1, so i'm running through the full loop the vast majority of the time, which means every time the left mouse button is clicked, i'm checking that other keys are not (Ctrl, Alt) and then then running the rest of the code, which i can post if need be - i just have to format it so it's understandable

What would i post? I'm not using Opt("SendKeyDelay", n) in my script - i just wanted to know if anybody is aware of the default AutoIt SendKeyDelay (5ms) affecting the Send() function in AHK where there is a delay between sent keystrokes. If you're thinking of something specific, let me know, otherwise i doubt anyone would be interested in sifting through 5000+ lines of code.

A person using my script is running some AHK scripts that apparently use AHK's Send function to send a string of keys to an edit control (non-AHK i believe) My script does not set the SendKey[Down]Delay times, so they should default to 5 ms He is setting SendKeyDelay = 0 in his scripts He has reported that his AHK scripts send keystrokes slower while my AutoIt script is running Could there be some interaction there?

you should post your code - it's a bit hard to debug something we can't see

update - 30-Jun-2014: my version of this function is buggy and i have not investigated the problem yet 6 years later iCode says... I have an interest in seeing this included as an official UDF, though judging by the lack of replies here, i'm not so sure how popular it is. As wraithdu says though, AHK has it I hacked it a bit so the script writer need not call _Clipboard_MemFree, which is now handled internally, and changed a few other things. Also added an alternative to _Clipboard_Wait when _ClipBoard_PutAll is called (code is commented out). One thing i am not sure of is why _ClipBoard_GetDataEx returns '0' for some formats. The formats in one test were 49577 and 49756, which are in clipboard memory (if that's the right term) after copying an image in Firefox. The dll call for _ClipBoard_GetDataEx is: DllCall("user32.dll", "handle", "GetClipboardData", "uint", $iFormat) According to MSDN, i'm not seeing anything wrong with the dll call, so i don't why _ClipBoard_GetDataEx fails - is this normal for image/binary data perhaps ???
