IE Embedded Control Versioning Use IE 9+ and HTML5 features inside a GUI This UDF allows the use of embedded IE controls which support IE versions greater than IE 7. By default, all embedded IE controls default to IE 7 compatibility mode (unless for some reason somebody has IE 6 installed!), so its not possible to use most of the HTML5 features available today. Fortunately, IE 9 and greater allow the use of HTML5, and the embedded IE control actually supports it. The problem is convincing Windows to let your program actually use those features! There are Registry branches that modify how an IE control works in specific programs. Those branches are: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION In at least one of these branches, the executable name needs to appear as a value name ("autoit.exe" for example), and the value data needs to indicate what IE version to 'emulate'. The value data is actually dependent on the version and whether quirks-mode is enabled. See Web Browser Control - Specifying the IE Version for more information. Note that a 64-bit O/S needs adjustments to the HKLM paths. Also, prefer the HKCU branch unless the program needs to enable access across all user accounts. HTML5 Canvas Element Example Anyway, all the complexity of setting the right value with the right name with the right 32/64-bit branch is handled for you in this UDF. Enabling support for IE9+, and new HTML5 features, is as simple as making one call to _IE_EmbeddedSetBrowserEmulation(). _IE_EmbeddedSetBrowserEmulation() takes an executable name (@AutoItExe if none is provided), and checks the Registry for an entry for it. If it doesn't find one, it will create one and enable support for later versions of IE. The full parameters to the function are as follows: _IE_EmbeddedSetBrowserEmulation($nIEVersion, $bIgnoreDOCTYPE = True, $bHKLMBranch = False, $sExeName = @AutoItExe) The parameter passed in $nIEVersion can be anything from 8 to 11 [or 12+ in the future], or just the current version of IE, which is available also through a call to _IE_EmbeddedGetVersion(). $bIgnoreDOCTYPE controls when IE will go into quirks mode based on any "<!DOCTYPE>" declarations on webpages. This mode can cause major problems, so by default it is set to ignore it (set this to False to enable it). $bHKLMBranch controls where in the registry the Browser Emulation Mode setting will be stored. If you wish to store the mode for ALL users, set this parameter to True. Note, however, that elevated privileges are required for modifying the HKLM branch! If the call to _IE_EmbeddedSetBrowserEmulation() is successful, then you can enable a (more) HTML5 compliant IE browser control in a GUI. The complete set of functions in the UDF: _IE_EmbeddedGetVersion() ; Gets version of IE Embeddable Control (from ieframe.dll or Registry) _IE_EmbeddedGetBrowserEmulation() ; Gets Browser Emulation Version for given Executable (or 0 if not found) _IE_EmbeddedSetBrowserEmulation() ; Sets Browser Emulation Version. NOTE: HKLM branch REQUIRES ELEVATED PRIVILEGES! _ IMPORTANT: Setting the embedded browser object to a newer version of IE may alter the behavior of some things. See documenation for the HTMLDocumentEvents2 interface and HTMLAnchorEvents2 interface for example. Also, there is at least one difference in behavior noted by mesale0077 in working with IE10 (and possibly other versions of IE) - clicks for elements inside an <a> anchor tag will register as the actual internal element rather than the surrounding anchor. For example, an <img> element wrapped by an <a> anchor will only send the click to the <img> element and not propagate it any further. A workaround for this is to check the parentNode to see if it is an <a> element. See the discussion in the >ObjEvent dont work thread. It could be that there's some other reason for this behavior, but nothing has come to light yet. As an aside, also see trancexx's response in >ObjEvent usage for more techniques for capturing IE events.

I already use HTML for UI's in AutoIt. Search the forum for embedded IE 11 (or something like that). This allows you to include newer versions of IE and fire precise events from the DOM back to AutoIt, allowing seamless integration. Below is a screenshot from a project I did a while ago but dropped (IDE for Perseus 6). The whole GUI is done by AutoIt, except for the code editor field, which is an embedded, local, HTML page. The framework, the project treeview and toolbar etc. are AutoIt controls used in unusual ways. Why? Because it is something AutoIt is not made for and ultimately can't do: Display large amounts of styles dynamic content. That is what HTML and CSS are for and the possibility to use it is already there - you just have to put some effort into it. Don't expect a programming language to spoonfeed you the right tools . BTW: The icons used are already on your system. They are defined in the OEM Unicode section of the Windows System font (use charmap to explore): Segoe UI (Light/Symbol/Math). Be sure to experiment with the antialiasing option of GuiCtrlSetFont to get rid of some artifacts. Project Explorer Closed Project Explorer Open

open 150times :3 i love it

thanks for the refreshing of my memory by pointing to that post, I liked that post long ago. I thought instead of an easy way to pass parameters from autoit to javascript's methods and get results back to autoit. (in a way like if you were using native features of AutoIt.... )

darknezz21, Why are you still using my old UDF? As I explained above, it is now deprecated and you should use the standard _FileListToArrayRec UDF. And of course the RegEx will not work as you have coded it - the pattern will never match. If you leave the command exactly as I posted it will work. M23

darknezz21, The comment refers to excluding certain file extensions from the returned array - not removing the extensions from the returned files. My ChooseFileFolder UDF does have this functionality when displaying a file list (I use it when listing mp3 files) but that is not a lot of use to you. I think you are going to have to remove the extensions in a loop like this: #include <File.au3> Local $aFileList = _FileListToArrayRec(@ScriptDir, "*.*|*.au3", $FLTAR_FILES, $FLTAR_NORECUR, $FLTAR_NOSORT) If @error = 1 Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Path was invalid.") Exit EndIf If @error = 4 Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "No file(s) were found.") Exit EndIf ; Now loop and remove the extension For $i = 1 To $aFileList[0] $aFileList[$i] = StringRegExpReplace($aFileList[$i], "^.*\\|\..*$", "") Next _ArrayDisplay($aFileList, "$aFileList") MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $aFileList[1]) Note that the deprecated _RecFileListToArray UDF is now part of the standard UDFs (with a slightly different name) and has a different syntax for the excluded files and folders as you can see - look in the Help file for more details. M23

Yeah, I won't .... I've had a memory lapse and I can't remember where I put them.

Added 2 additional versions. v1.1.2: plays C64 SID tune v1.1.3: streams a MP3 from http://remix.kwed.org Download

And here's the other trick I know: Use 32bit Bitmaps. You probably don't know what they are or that AutoIt supports them, so I give you the TL;DR: 32bit Bitmaps (aka Bitmap 5) are 8bit-transparent .BMP files. That means you can design UI elements as PNGs (with dropshadows and whatnot) and convert them using this utility. You won't be able to display them in the Windows photo viewer etc, but once loaded using GuiCtrlCreatePic, they're displayed with transparency and can be overlayed and handled just like ordinary controls. Furthermore, you can set the drawing z(!) direction using the extended window styles. Also pay attention to the order you create your controls in. Another tip: No harm is done if you utilize child GUIs to build easily manageable custom controls. You can also access the DeviceContext of every control, especially aforementioned bitmaps to apply other effects using clever blitting algorithms. The Windows MSIMG32.DLL provides some excellent tools for alphablending two or more DCs btw. Here's another screenshot of another project I did ages ago (for a client), where they gave me an SVG spritesheet of all pre-designed UI elements and I used the tricks mentioned above to put together a small interactive GUI. This shows the project in the early prototype (or proof-of-work) stage. Every element is working and interact-able, but the whole script only uses a couple of AutoIt controls bundled to custom controls using child GUIs.

I do not know, maybe this:

Yes, sorry should have mentioned vbox is a bit of a butt when it comes to snapshots. If you are deleting snapshots without wanting to merge you have to start with the latest snapshot and work your way backward or they will merge, whereas VMware Workstation does just what you would intuitively expect, deletes just that snapshot. So if you have 5 snapshots and want to save number 2, you have to delete #5, then #4, then #3. You can also do something like this: Example, you start with 4 snapshots, want to revert to snapshot 2 and delete 3 and 4. Choose Snapshot 2 and select "Restore Snapshot".This will produce a "Current State" item beneath Snapshot 2.You can then safely delete snapshots 3 and 4 without merging.

HotStrings Example scripts. EDIT: Does not seem like key logger to me.

What you still didn't answer: Why does your script need to sense keys in a specific order?

An Abstract Syntax Tree (so the left/right tree structure) is how it's always done (well, except LISP maybe, but even that results in a tree like structure). The problem I was trying to solve was that AutoIt is not really that good at storing a tree structure. Nested arrays aren't efficient, and we don't have structures/classes and pointers. So the only new thing, is trying to use one array to describe a tree.
