s!mpL3 LAN Messenger as the name suggests is a messenger designed and developed to offer chat communication over Local Area Networks while being as simple to use as possible. This project started way back in 2008 with only basic functionality and is regularly updated with new features in order to make it more useful and user friendly. What I wanted was a simple, small, serverless program that would work without installation cause that was the ideal combination for my workplace back then, so I ended up with this! I have attached some images from various versions: Check the rest below! (from various versions) More than 10.000 downloads! s!mpL3 LAN Messenger version 2.9.9.1 - [04/07/2019] - s!mpL3 LAN Messenger.zip 1. Fixed an issue that would occur when blocking another user and they would re-appear in the TreeView. 2. Updated File Transfers to make long file names shorter if they were too long to appear in the tray tip. 3. Removed notifications when checking for updates at application startup if there is no update available. You can view/download the full change log here: ChangeLog.txt Tested and working on both 32bit and 64 bit editions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Things you need to know before trying it: 1. Start the program, select one or more connections from what's available and click Connect (If a firewall notice comes up, click 'Allow' or 'Add Exception') When someone else on your network does the same, they will appear in your Tree-view and you will appear in theirs, double click their name and chat! 2. s!mpL3 LAN Messenger does not require a server to be running, it's standalone. 3. On the first run an .ini file is created at @LocalAppDataDir\s!mpL3 LAN Messenger which stores the settings so that they are used every time you run the application. If you delete the .ini file it will be created again (with default settings at program startup or with your selected settings if you press Save from the Preferences window). 4. All communication is encrypted using AES so it's quite secure against Network sniffers. 5. You can send files and folders by dragging and dropping them in a conversation window. Folders are compressed before being sent. You can also drop multiple items to be sent. 6. There is a "Hide" button located in the tray right click context menu that will hide all open windows. You can assign a Hotkey combination from Preferences. The default combination is Ctrl+H. 7. s!mpL3 LAN Messenger uses port 60000 by default. You can change the port used by adding "Port=****" (without quotes, stars represent numbers) to the Config file described above. Communication is UDP. 8. There is an Updater feature you can use to always have the latest available version, you only need an internet connection for that to work. You might need to clear your Internet Explorer Temporary Files in order for it to find an updated version. 9. You can Hide + Lock s!mpL3 LAN Messenger so it'll require a password in order to "Appear". To enable this, go to the Security Preferences. 10. Note that versions after 2.9.8.1 are not compatible with previous versions due to the encryption used being changed. I recommend using the latest version, or at least use the same version over the LAN. Important Notice: I will not be releasing the source code, however, I might share some parts of code if requested... If you choose to de-compile this software, don't release the source code.

I've made significant changes in the code, including the syntax of some functions! Now uses GDI+ to render the images. Example of use is included! Sample: CPU in 0,60%. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZZB-G9C1Kg Direct download: _GUIResourcePic.mp4 Fixes: $GUI_GIFSTART ; If image is GIF animated, start/resume animation! $GUI_GIFSTOP ; If image is GIF animated, stop/pause animation! ;----> Style (GIS = Gif Image Styles) $GIS_ASPECTRATIOFIX ; Fix the image size based on aspect ratio. $GIS_HALFTRANSPARENCY ; The images are rendered with the window background color. This Style is default. $GIS_FULLTRANSPARENCY ; The frames are rendered in full transparency independent of the background color of the window! Note: This Style consumes more CPU because the exstyle $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT is added to each frame in real time! Not valid if the image does not have transparency! ;----> Default Style to _GUICtrlPic_Create()! $GIS_SS_DEFAULT_PIC = BitOR($GIS_HALFTRANSPARENCY, $SS_NOTIFY) ;----> ExStyle (GIS_EX = Gif Image Extended Styles) $GIS_EX_DEFAULTRENDER ; To use _GUIImageList_Draw in rendering of images, use less CPU. This ExStyle is default! $GIS_EX_CTRLSNDRENDER ; The frames is render using GUICtrlSendMsg, but consumes much more CPU!!! Note: If you use this ExStyle, only $GRP_FULLTRANSPARENCY is used for rendering images! 1.02b 09/05/2012 -> After updating the code, the images with transparency were not being shown as they should, changed code again!09/05/2012 -> Fixes in the _GUICtrlPic_SetImage() function, the measures were not being updated according to the parameter FixSiz , identified by @Belini, thank you!Regards, João Carlos.

Update v1.0.6 Major script overhaul, I literally started over from scratch only adding parts of code from the old script that were solid. I don’t have a help file made as of now so I am going to explain all of the functionality in this post - Form Builder is no longer bi-directional, you now toggle between script mode and GUI mode using a button in the top right or F4 - The script no longer recompiles on every change but instead inserts changes into the script - Form Builder no longer cares about Event mode or GuiGetMsg mode - No more .gui files, you now edit .au3 scripts directly - Script edit is now a SciLexer control, includes syntax highlighting, folding, call tips, keywords, and inline error annotations. - Script output console is now at the bottom in script mode - Main GUI menu redone, most functions from SciTe have been added along with their hotkeys - All restrictions to editing the script have been removed - GDI+ and Graphic editors removed - Cleanup of script, stability greatly increased - Hotkeys no longer use _IsPressed they now use GUIAccelerator keys (with exception to a few) - Multiple scripts can be open - Form Builder buffers the open scripts and adds an asterisk * to scripts that have been modified - Rich Edit, GUIScrollbars, Dummy, and Updown are disabled for now until I can add them - GUI Menu controls cannot be created as of now but will be rendered in the editor - Undo and Redo actions in script mode and GUI mode added, the GUI undo and redo buffer is cleared switching between modes - The Undo and Redo buffers do not have a limit but are cleared when switching between modes or scripts - Undo and Redo actions do not work for controls that have no control handle - The Treeview now works as a Go to function for controls and functions in script mode - Form Builder now tries to preserve as much of the original content as possible, it will save whitespace in-between parameters and comments on controls - Treeview context menu reworked, much more responsive - Unicode support added File -> Encoding -> UTF-8 - Language support added, I added a couple of language files and used Google translate just so I could size my GUI's for different languages, I do not support what those language files say - Selecting a GUI in the Treeview in GUI mode will allow you to change the GUI's Handle, Position, Background Color, State, Cursor, Font, Font Size and Font Attributes - Auto Declare is no longer hiding in the settings, it is now on the top right and is a toggle between Off, Global and Local - Help File Lookup added (Ctrl + H), allows you to search selected text in the help file, Any variable will be searched and the first result will be displayed, any string will be searched as a keyword in the index - Added current script line, column, and selection length in the bottom left - Standard undeclared style constants are checked before script execution and the script will prompt if an undefined style constant is found - You can now toggle script whitespace, EOL characters, line numbers, margins and output in the View menu - View -> Toggle All Folds works as it does in SciTe, only base level folds are changed and the first fold found determines whether to expand or contract - Form Builder Settings redone - Bugs with submitting data and control selection have been fixed - Fixed problems with frequently called repetitive functions causing issues with large scripts - Fixed bugs with B, I, U and S font attribute buttons getting stuck and called when enter was pressed Update v1.0.7 - Help File Look-up hotkey changed to Ctrl+B - Replace hotkey changed to Ctrl+H - Changes to $SCN_MODIFIED so only text events are notified - Bookmarks added, Ctrl+M to add or delete a Bookmark from the current line -

Ctrl+E hotkey added to clear all Bookmarks and Annotations - Minor GUI tweaks - Fixed a bug with the GUI Style undo action - Undo and Redo actions for GUI windows will now update the window properties if the GUI is selected - F4 Hotkey no longer switches modes, switching modes is now F10 - F4 is to toggle next error or warning message, works like it does in SciTe, bookmarks the line and highlights the error in the console - Shift+F4 Hotkey added to toggle previous error or warning message - Shift+F5 Hotkey added to clear script output - Ctrl+F5 Hotkey added as SyntaxCheck Prod - Form Builder now performs a SyntaxCheck before entering GUI Mode and prompts on Error or Warning -

Previous Bookmark Basic GUI Mode How To Create a Control - click a control on the left - click in the GUI you wish to add the control Left Click: Click and drag to auto resize the control Right Click: Creates the control at a standard size Select a Control - click inside the control or select it in the treeview Change a controls Data - First select the control - modify the controls data on the right, press enter to submit changes state, cursor, font and resizing update when you change the data - when modifying the data parameter the script recognizes if there is a variable in the data and will add quotes accordingly ex. data parameter = $data, End result in script: GUICtrlCreateButton($data, 50, 50, 100, 20) ex. data parameter = data, End result in script: GUICtrlCreateButton("data", 50, 50, 100, 20) ex. data parameter = "data"&$data, End result in script: GUICtrlCreateButton("data"&$data, 50, 50, 100, 20) Applying an Image to a control - select a control - control styles must be applied to some controls before adding an image - click the ... button next to the Image input in the Control Properties area in the bottom right - select the image you want to display, allows jpg, bmp, gif, ico and dll files - selecting a dll will open another prompt to choose which resource to display Control Grouping - multiple controls must be selected - press the group controls button - control grouping allows you to resize and move multiple controls at the same time, as of now groups are deleted when leaving GUI mode I only have a couple odds and ends to finish up before everything should be complete, I need to add Undo and Redo actions for copying and duplicating controls and a couple other minor things, eventually I want to try to add all of the UDF controls as well. If people are willing to translate the language file I would be very grateful, the ones I have right now are from Google translate, I only used them for testing and have no idea what they say. I want to thank Kip, Prog@ndy, Isi360 and all of the other contributors on this forum, without you guys i don't think i could have written this script. Please post any comments, problems or suggestions, BuckMaster * I only used one "magic number" on my main close case statement, only for faster locating, and i don't care.

I have rejected similar request some time ago. Btw, that's called array literal. Array literal is used for array initialization during declaration. Adding it to the language in this manner would mean adding exception in processing of (at least) Return keyword. The other option of implementation would be even worst because it would mean effectively recognizing literals as variables, if for nothing then because something like this could be considered as reasonable request: Global $my_array = return_array() Func return_array() Return [1, 2, 3, [8, 9, 10], 5][3] EndFunc One other developer was reserved if it would make you feel better. Still I would reject it any time - and again.

Islmike, When you post code in future, please use [autoit] [/autoit] tags to enclose it - then you get the syntax colouring and scrolling box you now see above which makes it much easier to read. M23

This script is almost 8 years old, the language has changed in that time. RunErrorsFatal has been removed from the options, you need to delete that line.

Read the help for ShellExecute or Run If you have problem, just say

In SciTE, can one view a file while temporarily disabling edit functions? A lot of times I'll have files open for reading, but not for changes. This could be a UDF, a system library include file, or one of my own stable files. I just want to avoid making unintended changes accidentally. I do this kind of thing all the time in Emacs with its "toggle-read-only" function. Thanks in advance,

Options >> Read-Only.

@AdmiralAlkex Well done.

And that's it? It's not as big as I expected.

^^One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart. Also, one day the Sun will explode.

I agree.. LOL Seems like it only pulls the sticky's then whatever is the most popular post at the time... Google is what I mainly use to search the forum tho. Start it out with like: autoit blah blah and it does pretty well..
