Just by happenstance I learned you can use scite output window as though it were command prompt, for example try ipconfig. Amount of times I've opened a cmd window when I already had scite open EDIT: o.Ops, probably should have been in chat.

And just why would you even suggest that someone (an MVP no less) who has been a member for 8 years and has over 4600 posts might want to leave the forums. Be careful what you say to people with that kind of experience behind them when you have been a member for only a year and just made the 250 posts mark. EDIT: I should have also pointed out that you made that comment to a very well respected member of this community.

When ever you hover your mouse over a native function, user defined function, or an AutoItObject method then you will see the calltip for that function. Click "Like This" if you found this useful! To use this just place the following lua file in the "...AutoIt3\SciTE\lua" directory. MouseHoverCallTips.zip downloads:741 After you have done that then open SciTE and click 'Options' --> 'Open Lua Startup Script' and paste this line after the other lines (may require administrative rights): LoadLuaFile("MouseHoverCallTips.lua") Updates and changes:

Hi there! I just wrote a ZIP udf in AutoIt (without external files) which lets you create archives, fill them with files and folders and extract them to your computer these are the functions <<go to the last release's section and jump previous releases's posts>> ======================= Updated ======================= UPDATED 30/6/2008 UPDATED 24/9/2008 Fixed Various Bugs Added Wait Function to let the script sleep until the files havn't been zipped Changed Function Names new format is: _Zip_TheFunction() UPDATED 13/10/2008 _Zip_AddFolder() now changed in _Zip_AddFolderContents() New Function : _Zip_AddFolder() that now adds the whole folder creating a subdirectory in the zip file _Zip_Count() Bug Finally fixed UPDATED 6/11/2008 New Function : _Zip_CountAll() that counts all elements in the archive. Including SubDirectories UPDATED 28/11/2008 New Virtual Zipping Functions this is actually very cool stuff! Maybe useless, but cool. UPDATED 17/03/2009 Added _Zip_Delete($hZipFile, $hFilename, $flag = 1). Very slow but it works... It'll be improved FLAGS WORK!

Bumping your own thread within 24hrs in the manner in which you did is extremely rude and quite unacceptable - what is urgent to you is almost certainly not to anyone else here. Every thread you have started so far has referred to the adf.ly site and has been locked. So I am going to do 3 things: - 1. Lock your latest thread to maintain your 100% record. - 2. Ban you for a week. - 3. Warn you that if you ever post another adf.ly related question, you will be removed permanently. I hope that is quite clear. M23

Hi guys, I read these threads: and I thought about, is it possible to add such things to Autoit core or make it available by creating a free dll or UDF? There are lot of Windows controls which are available through functions included in Autoit3 core and there are some additional things added via UDFs. Can somebody explain to me, what needs to be done to have the possibility to create menus like in Excel and so on with Autoit. Thanks! Sorry, I'm no C++ programmer and that is why, I do not know much about these COM objects and .Net classes ... So, please do not flame me. Mega

Do I? I wouldn't say it was clumsy. I've actually enjoyed our little spat over in the examples section. -_0 I've actually learnt a lot from that discussion.

guinness, I am sure it is the only way - the number of times I thought I had the pattern correct only to find it was not.... M23

@George, Don't even worry for one second that our "friend" acidman (or whatever his nick is today) is taken serious by anybody being a regular here. I have only read stupid remarks from him so just ignore him.. these types come and go. Jos

acidman, The day you stop learning is the day you die - no-one knows it all as some of us proved a few days ago. M23

That's what I do these days, though for ease I use Enum to replace index values.

Hi try this Style $input1=GUICtrlCreateInput("ok copy me!",0,40,-1,-1,$ES_READONLY,$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW ) Or $input1=GUICtrlCreateEdit("ok copy me!",0,40,-1,-1,$ES_READONLY,$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW )
