Linode is no more, they got acquired and the parent company doesn't really care about that brand anymore, so I suggest staying away from them. In fact it has been officially discontinued. Looks pretty good to me! Indeed, if you ever need help, just mention @UEZ, he is the resident GDI+ and graphics expert here

@coderusa That sounds horrible, and there's no need to pay for an SSL certificate at all in 2023, in fact you didn't have to since Oct 2015 because of the Let's Encrypt initiative: They provide free SSL certificates to everyone instantly via automation and with no registration etc. So pretty much every host now has them integrated, so it's very weird that 000web is still charging for that, at a premium rate even Uberspace and Tux Family automatically handle the SSL certificate for you, no need to pay or even enable it. I see, thanks for the PSA. I use Porkbun, I started using it because it was cheap but their service is stellar, never had any issues with the interface or the tech support, can fully recommend them It's your project, so at the end of the day, it is your choice... but in my opinion having this being closed source is going to reduce a lot of interest in the project. You can still protect your IP by using a copyleft license like GPL, which requires anyone who wants to modify the code to make their changes open-source as well! Or if you want to go a step further, take a license and modify it yourself to place whatever restrictions you want, that way it is still "source-available". AutoIt was actually licensed under GPL before it hit the v3 version. That's actually why AutoHotkey (a fork of AutoIt) is open-source, they are legally obliged to publish the source.

Sounds like a cool project Just wanted to give you some advice regarding the host, free hosts are very shady so be careful with those. Since your project is open-source you can use Tux Family for hosting, they provide their services at no cost for FOSS projects If you want a generic host I'd recommend Uberspace.de, they have a pay-what-you-want model, so you can pay as low as 1 EUR/month, that's what I use for my hosting since it doesn't really get a lot of traffic. The recommended amount is 5 EUR. They also do good work by defending free software in actual courts (see the YouTube-DL case in Germany)

What the hell are those squiggly brackets?! Never seen 'em in AutoIt.

Because everyone understands ASCII, duh 🤷‍♂️ Also I'm joking in case that isn't obvious. But perhaps maybe an ASCII compliant JSON generator might be of use in certain situations.

Let's escape all characters which are not ASCII

On my desktop (Xfce), that does happen, but the positions are not permanent, and they spring back to their correct locations once there is enough space available.

In Linux this would be as simple as backing up a single file, or even not bothering with it at all because it doesn't screw up the positions when changing sizes most likely

Is this Windows 7? Source

@Earthshine Any tools that you can recommend? Java UIs are hard as f*** to automate, most of the time I end up relying on fixed coords.

I mean we do kinda provide free support here in the forum Especially if they ask nicely.

@UEZ Aren't these in AutoIt's standard UDFs? If not, maybe you should make a ticket to get those added in

Implementation detail Time to try Rust

It is not, it is a different language created by someone who is not affiliated to C, it would be wrong to say that it's just an addition. C++ does copy lots of it syntax, functions and behaviour from C but it is a different language and should be treated as such. Imagine if I create a new language tomorrow with same syntax as AutoIt, would you call it an addition to AutoIt? (P.S. I am actually creating that new language, see the link in my signature)

Well I'm not sure if *you* understand Sure, the examples in Microsoft's documentation might be using C++, but the API itself is written in C. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to write C programs in Windows, could you? Also most of the time in my experience the C++ in MS's reference is just C anyway. I understand C very well but I don't know a lick of C++, however I am still able to use Windows API and it's reference.

It's not, really... what's necessary is the knowledge of C as it is the de-facto cross-platform language which is spoken by all other languages for external integration. By the way, it was an interesting experience reading English written right to left

@FinDaPancake First off, make sure that you are familiar with the fundamentals of AutoIt, I'm saying that since you seem to lack the knowledge regarding the concept of UDFs (user-defined functions). I'm not really sure what the right resource is for learning all the fundamentals so I request others to share their resources. The one resource you can always count on is the help-file, but it might be too verbose for someone who is not from a highly technical background. Also tagging @water here, the one who started the wiki article, since OP seems to be having a hard time with it.

What? Isn't that instant?

Did you try defining your own style without including this one? Perhaps that will do the trick.

Yes I agree with @UEZ, this should be posted in the Examples section. @kcvinu Thanks for making an alternative GUI sub-system, I'm sure this will come in handy to someone By the way, do coloured buttons work in your GUIs? AutoIt GUIs have a critical bug which is currently labelled as "won't fix" due to the amount of complexity involved, coloured buttons don't work properly.

Sure but KaFu is an MVP and this program is mentioned in his signature Also I was sharing the info because if Dan had not seen it, now maybe a good time to do so. He might save on additional work or learn something new, win win!

@Dan_555 Did you try @KaFu's HMW program? I think it functions similar to your window manager

@TheSaint Is that a challenge? I wasn't planning on doing another reply, but I can't find the emoji to react so take this post instead

I can go into more detail and give you some sources with verified information but I'll just let you be for now... I will let you live in your placebo world where you are right
