The dedicated server that runs the autoitscript.com / autoitconsulting.com site had a severe outage for the last couple of days. The main problem was that one of the disk drives failed. The server has two drives in RAID 1 so normally this isn't a problem, in fact there have been two disk outages over the past few years that many people won't have even noticed. Usually the server runs as normal with one drive down and there is only a brief 5 minute outage required when the disk is replaced and the server is rebooted. However in this case the server hard crashed and wouldn't boot into the OS on the remaining disk. I'm guessing that the drive was actually failing...working...failing and causing issues because it wouldn't just die. I logged a support call and asked to get the disk replaced, but some of the communications were lost and it took 12 hours for them to acknowledge that the drive was dead and that they had the authorisation to go ahead and open the box and replace the drive (they only touch the hardware, I'm responsible for all the software/OS config). During this time the server was sitting in a recovery/linux boot disk mode used for troubleshooting. When the disk was finally replaced (8pm UK time 25th of Feb) the the technician only emailed my hostmaster / autoitscript email address to say that it was complete but I didn't receive it because of course that email address is hosted by the server...which is in recovery mode - they forgot to email the temporary gmail address I was using during the outage. So I only found out the work had actually been completed when I chased them up this morning on the phone. I've started the RAID rebuild onto the new drive which will take a few hours to complete so the site may be sluggish until then. I also had to repair a few mysql tables that had crashed - but it didn't look to be a problem.

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 -

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 -

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.

Firstly, I didn't see a forum section that was well suited for this article, so I decided to place it in the help section, since that would be the most read section. Feel free to move this article to the appropriate section. If you're here at the forums, you understand that Autoit is a very powerful tool for controlling Windows. You may also be aware of a tool that is included with Windows 7 called, "Windows Speech Recognition" which allows you to use voice commands to run tasks, like... Opening the start menu, or running a program. What you may not be aware of is, "Windows Speech Recognition Macros" or "WSR Macros" for short. This is a free program put out by Microsoft that lets you create your own voice commands. You would essentially... create a trigger word or phrase, then you have the option of what you want WSR to do when it hears that phrase. While that sounds amazing, in practice it's very limited. This is where Autoit comes into play. Using WSR Macros, you can set a voice command to run a program. Any program. This allows for a very large array of amazing things that you can do using Autoit. For example. I use PotPlayer for watching videos. If I say, "Pause" WSR has no clue what I'm talking about. But, creating a simple and very short program in Autoit. Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) If WinActive("PotPlayer") <> 0 Then Send("{Space}") EndIf Now I can tell WSR to run "Pause.exe" if I say, pause. (compiled from the au3) Using this simple combination of programs, you can create any string of trigger words to do anything your imagination can think of. Helpful Tips: Using more than 1 word for the trigger will help WSR distinguish between if you are just talking or if you're giving a command. This will also help if you are transcribing, as not to run a command when your intention is to transcribe the word. Because language is artistic, there can be several ways to complete the same action. "Open my music folder" "Let's listen to some music" "Open my music" To prevent a ton of file clutter, instead of selecting "New Speech Macro..." for every way you say things, select "Explore Speech Macros..." Then go to the original macro file (WSRMac extension) and alter the contents a bit. Like this... (Not incapsulated to maintain color for easier reading) ----- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> <speechMacros> <command> <listenFor>Open my music folder</listenFor> <run command="C:Music" params=""/> </command> <command> <listenFor>Let's listen to some music</listenFor> <run command="C:Music" params=""/> </command> <command> <listenFor>Open my music</listenFor> <run command="C:Music" params=""/> </command> <Signature> encrypted coding, very long, useless to the purpose ----- Notice... You don't need a seperate file, just add another command to the same file. If you really wanted to tidy up, you could actually merge all your different voice commands into 1 giant (and very confusing) file.

Hey Every 1 When I was a Beginner I always had a Hard Time to Understand the SQLite I have made a UDF for SQLite so that Beginners Would Also Be Able to Do the Stuff . Much Of Description is Given in the UDF. To Understand Read It. For Advanced Users it may not be sooo goood But Then Also Have a Look . Thumbs Up if it Helped.. The UDF is Attached for Download.. N herez the Index #region -Functions For User- ;_Insert ;_Update ;_Delete ;_FetchData ;_LoadDatabase ;_UnLoadDatabase ;_Cryptor #endregion -Functions For User- #region -Internal Functions- ;_DefaultAnalyser() #endregion -Internal Functions- 1 more Request If You Use the Script Please Reply me of any Bugs or any Further Modifications for Betterment...

I do not know this tool, but when it has a /s flag then there should be a flag to select the language too. Is there a web site where the command line switches are explained?

#NoTrayIcon local $Ran while 1 sleep(50) if WinActive("[Class:DV2ControlHost]") Then If $Ran = 0 Then ControlClick("[Class:DV2ControlHost]", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1]", "Left", 1) $Ran = 1 EndIf Else $Ran = 0 EndIf WEnd Spoiler - Contains a More effective version of the code above when the taskbar is not showing, I welcome peoples view on this idea-style of coding if it should be supported or not Less effective when Window is active but more effective when window is not active. The idea behind is, in the first code when the window is not active the code goes. Check Active - No, Check Else, Do Else, End. Whereas this code is just Check Active - No, End.
