Are you annoyed by the limitations of the standard Windows message dialog created by MsgBox? Would you like to have coloured backgrounds and text? To choose the justification and font? Do you want to be able to place the message box other than in the centre of the screen? Centred on your GUI, for example, or at a particular location on screen? What about having user-defined text on as many buttons as you need? And user-defined icons? Or a visible countdown of the timeout? Finally, would you like to choose whether the message box has a button on your already too-crowded taskbar? If the answer to any of these questions is "YES" then the ExtMsgBox UDF is for you! [NEW VERSION] 16 Feb 24 Changed: Some additional functionality added to the "TimeOut" parameter of _ExtMsgBox: - A positive integer sets the EMB timeout as before. - A negative integer will double the size of the countdown timer if it is used. - A colon-delimited string (eg: "10:5") will set the normal EMB timeout (first integer) and will also initially disable the EMB buttons for the required period (second integer). New UDF and examples in the zip. Older version changes: ChangeLog.txt As always, I realise nearly all of the DLL calls in these UDFs could be made by using commands in other UDFs like WinAPI.au3 - but as with all my UDFs (which you can find in my sig below) I am trying to prevent the need for any other include files. The UDF and examples (plus StringSize) in zip format: ExtMsgBox.zip Courteous comments and constructive criticisms welcome - guess which I prefer! M23

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!

Chrome support for AutoIT is here! This UDF includes a Chrome Extension (http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted.html) and Native Messaging Host (http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/messaging.html#native-messaging-host) that integrate with a new Chrome UDF (Chrome.au3) to provide automation support for the Chrome browser. Several steps are required to install the Chrome Extension and Native Messaging Host prior to using the UDF. Please read the INSTALLATION section below. REQUIREMENTS: Windows XP 32-bit, Windows 7 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit AutoIt3 3.2 or higher Chrome v29 or later (earlier versions are untested) AutoIT for Google Chrome (Chrome extension - see below) AutoIT Chrome Native Messaging Host (see below) INSTALLATION: STEP 1: Install the AutoIT extension into Chrome. Open the following link and download the file named AutoIT for Google Chrome.crx: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_6JmwNIIZ06enotRTVFNVdKOXM/edit?usp=sharing Note - you may be prompted to login with a Google account as this file is hosted on Google Drive. In your Chrome browser click on the Chrome menu, then select Tools -> Extensions. Drag the AutoIT for Google Chrome.crx file that you downloaded above, from Windows Explorer, into this page in Chrome. You should now see AutoIT for Google Chrome listed in the Extensions page in Chrome. Ensure that the Enabled checkbox next to AutoIT for Google Chrome is checked. Also make sure the Allow access to file URLs box is checked (very important to make EXAMPLE 2 work below)!! STEP 2: Install the AutoIT Chrome Native Messaging Host. Open the following link and download the file named autoit_chrome_native_messaging_host_install.exe: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_6JmwNIIZ06eDgxaVJPNUNxa28/edit?usp=sharing Note - you may be prompted to login with a Google account as this file is hosted on Google Drive. Run this file (autoit_chrome_native_messaging_host_install.exe). An installation window will display. Click the Install button. The window will display "Completed" and you can click the Close button. STEP 3: Install the Chrome UDF into AutoIT. Scroll to the DOWNLOAD section below, and save the Chrome.au3 file into your AutoIT Include folder (C:Program FilesAutoIt3Include). Please close your Chrome browser once you've completed these steps. LIST OF FUNCTIONS: EXAMPLE #1: This following example starts up Chrome and navigates to the URL http://www.december.com/html/demo/form.html. It then automatically completes the HTML form in this page (a series of text, radio, and checkbox input elements and select elements) and clicks the Send this survey button. The script waits for the next page to load, and retrieves the various elements from the page to the AutoIT console. chrome_example.au3 EXAMPLE #2: The following is an example of the automation of an offline HTML page (file URL). First, download the file named chrome_udf_example_2.html to your C: folder: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_6JmwNIIZ06SWduMjZGTVViNlU/edit?usp=sharing Then run the following AutoIT script: chrome_example_2.au3 Note that you must have checked the Allow access to file URLs box in the Chrome extension to make this work! DOWNLOAD: Latest Version - v0.5 (29/09/13) Chrome.au3

So many examples so i'll put mine: #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <Constants.au3> #include <GuiEdit.au3> #include <Misc.au3> Global $SEND_Line = "", $DOS, $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll") $hGUI = GUICreate("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", 600, 300, -1, -1) $hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("johnmcloud TEST Version" & @CRLF & @CRLF, 0, 0, 600, 300, BitOR($WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL, $ES_WANTRETURN)) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Lucida Console") GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) $DOS = Run(@ComSpec, "", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD + $STDIN_CHILD) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch $DOS_Stdout = Oem2Ansi(StdoutRead($DOS)) $DOS_Stderr = Oem2Ansi(StderrRead($DOS)) $TMP_Line = GUICtrlRead($hEdit) If $DOS_Stdout Or $DOS_Stderr Then If $DOS_Stdout <> $SEND_Line Then If StringLen($DOS_Stderr) > 0 Then $DOS_Stdout = StringSplit($DOS_Stdout, @CRLF) _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hEdit, $DOS_Stderr & @CRLF & $DOS_Stdout[5]) Else _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hEdit, $DOS_Stdout) EndIf Else If $DOS_Stderr <> $SEND_Line Then _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($hEdit, $DOS_Stderr) EndIf EndIf If _IsPressed("0D", $hDLL) Then $SEND_Line = StringMid($TMP_Line, StringInStr($TMP_Line, @CRLF, 0, -2)) $SEND_Line = StringMid($SEND_Line, StringInStr($SEND_Line, ">") + 1) StdinWrite($DOS, $SEND_Line) Sleep(200) EndIf WEnd ProcessClose($DOS) Func Oem2Ansi($Text) Local $aText = DllCall("user32.dll", "Int", "OemToChar", "str", $text, "str", "") Return $aText[2] EndFunc ;==>Oem2Ansi It's not perfect but have want the OP like, the copyright

Looks very cool! I'm curious to see how you want to implement textures with GDI+. Btw, long time ago Eukalyptus coded a prototype of 3D Wolfenstein with textures -> Prototype 3D Wolfenstein in AutoIt (video only)! Br, UEZ

Good job, thank you. Any hope of getting TCPConnect()'s timeout fixed?
