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 - Edit -> Bookmarks -> Set Bookmark changes the currently selected Bookmark - Edit -> Clear Current Bookmarks deletes only the currently selected Bookmark - Allows you to change foreground and background colors of Bookmarks - Added F2 hotkey for Next Bookmark - Added Shift+F2 hotkey for Previous Bookmark - Fixed a bug that made it so script annotation did not show up for some people - Script errors and warnings now add a Bookmark on each 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 - Language Select Menu Added Settings -> Lanugage - Icons added to main menu - Languages added to all new menu items and msgbox's - Language Files updated for new data - Language Support added for Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Swedish, Thai, and Vietnamese [ Google Translate ] - Fixed bug with updating a language that made it look like ANSI and UTF-8 were both selected - Added redo button next to undo button - Font attribute buttons Bold, Italic, Underline and Strike-Out changed to labels Update v1.0.8 - Somehow a main function got deleted causing the script to crash on some changes - Fixed some issues with updating Languages Hotkeys Ctrl + N - New Blank Script Ctrl + G - New GUI Script Ctrl + O - Open Script Ctrl + Shift + S - Save As Ctrl + S - Save Esc - Close Open Script Alt + F4 - Exit Ctrl + Z - Undo Ctrl + Y - Redo Ctrl + X - Cut Ctrl + C - Copy Ctrl + V - Paste Ctrl + A - Select All Ctrl + W - Clear inline script annotation Ctrl + E - Clear inline script annotation and bookmarks Ctrl + F - Find Ctrl + F3 - Find Next Shift + F3 - Find Previous (doesn’t work yet) Ctrl + B - Help File Lookup F5 - Go Alt + F5 - Beta Run F7 - Build Ctrl + F7 - Compile F11 - Full screen F8 - Toggle Show/Hide Script Output Ctrl + I - Open Include Ctrl + H - Replace F1 - AutoIt Help File Ctrl + D - Duplicate Control Delete - Delete Control Ctrl + Shift + 8 - Toggle Show/Hide Script Whitespace Ctrl + Shift + 9 - Toggle Show/Hide Script EOL characters Ctrl - GUI Mode multicontrol selection F10 - Switch Modes F4 - Next Message Shift+F4 - Previous Message Shift+F5 - Clear Output Ctrl+M - Add Bookmark F2 - Next Bookmark Shift+F2 - 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.

Rapid, Glad I could help. As you can see from the above, we are pretty quick at responding when you post here., so I see no reason to do more than that. M23

Rapid, I think I understand - does this do what you want? #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <FileConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") HotKeySet("{F2}", "StartProg") Global Const $sLogFile = 'log.txt' Global $UserSet = "Not Set" While 1 Sleep(10) WEnd Func StartProg() $Form1 = GUICreate("Test", 260, 90, 635, 316) $Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 96, 8, 65, 25) GUICtrlSetData($Combo1, "250|300") GUICtrlSetFont($Combo1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif") $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 8, 56, 75, 25) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("User Search", 3, 8, 90, 20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $Msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $Msg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Combo1 Switch GUICtrlRead($Combo1) Case 250 $UserSet = 250 Case 300 $UserSet = 300 EndSwitch Case $Button1 $bReturn = Start() ; $bReturn will be True/False depending on what the function returned EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc Func Start() Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sLogFile, $FO_APPEND) If $hFileOpen = -1 Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An error occurred whilst writing the temporary file.")

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum! In the Example Scripts Forum you will find a few examples on how to use events. Please check my signature for the link!

you should start on page 1 of the internet ;-)

No - it would be much slower. InetRead (which is used by _InetGetSource) retrieve only the source html-code of the requested page and leave it as is. The IE instead reads the source and look for additional content like images, css-files, javascript-files etc. and also loads this content. After that it renders all the stuff. So it has a lot more to load and work and so it can't be faster than a simple InetRead for getting the source code. For demonstration a small speed comparison: #include <IE.au3> Global Const $N = 5 Global Const $s_URL = "https://www.whitehouse.gov/" #Region get source code with InetRead $iT = TimerInit() For $i = 1 To $N $s_Source = BinaryToString(InetRead($s_URL, 1)) Next $iT = TimerDiff($iT) ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("% 20s: %8.3f ms\n", "InetRead", $iT / $N)) #EndRegion #Region get source-code with IE Global $oIE = _IECreate("about:blank", 0, 0, 0, 0) $iT = TimerInit() For $i = 1 To $N _IENavigate($oIE, $s_URL) $s_Source = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE) Next $iT = TimerDiff($iT) ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("% 20s: %8.3f ms\n", "IE", $iT / $N)) _IEQuit($oIE) #EndRegion

Read HelpFile for: FileOpen(...)Focus on second parameter I mean "mode". Try to use each of them.

The code below is perhaps worth a try as it attempts to do all 5 commands in a single CMD instance. ; Use to run the command following && only if the ; command preceding the symbol is successful. ; Cmd.exe runs the first command, and then runs ; the second command only if the first command ; completed successfully. ; Reference: ; http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490954.aspx $CMD = 'ipconfig /flushdns && ' & _ 'net stop dnscache && ' & _ 'ipconfig /flushdns && ' & _ 'net start dnscache && ' & _ 'ipconfig /flushdns' ; /k keeps the CMD window open. ; /c closes the CMD window once the command is complete. ; Reference: ; Type CMD /? in a command prompt window for help ; with CMD options.
