Issues with float rounding pop up regularly in this forum, as well as in many others devoted to distinct programming languages. While the reasons for discrepancies observed by poster are correctly adressed here and there, practical advices are not always spot on the poster use case. Depending on the actual context, several rounding methods can be put to work. Here's a snippet offering the most useful. Be sure to read and understand the companion article for details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding Rounding.au3

Automate all windows and browser applications with one UDF function library. Based on the microsoft automation API this library high level supports Recognition of conttrols from EDGE, Chrome, FF, Opera, Safari and Windows native apps Small testing framework to split object repository from coding away Introduction Quickstart - Getting started quickly Simple scripts With this module you can automate all applications/programs that support ui automation and/or accesibility api from microsoft you can recognize more controls than AutoIT can recognize "out of the box" you can use concepts from other testing frameworks like http://download.freedesktop.org/ldtp/doc/ldtp-tutorial.pdf http://safsdev.sourceforge.net/Default.htm coded ui testing from microsoft Some of those controls / applications are chrome browser (partly mainwindow has to be done with MSAA for navigating) chrome://accessibility in the adress bar of chrome or start with "--force-renderer-accessibility" silverlight controls Ribbon control controlbars of Excel/Word IE and FF browsers Windows Media Player Windows clock AFX .. controls (partly) ....

As the WebDriver UDF - Help & Support thread has grown too big, I started a new one. The prior thread can be found here.

YES

Good programming practices require that #include should be self-sufficient. If you need to have some global vars declared for your include to work properly (and they should be at the very minimum), you should declare them directly in the include, not in the calling script. Information between the main script and the include script should always be passed thru function parameters.

Question 1 "Copy structure to clipboard" does not calculate the element subtree. The procedure to copy the entire subtree structure to clipboard is (right click the treeview item): 1. Update all childs of element 2. Copy structure to clipboard Question 2 I rarely use the XML format. Usually you can do the same with a plain text file, and with much faster code. But if you'll write the code and it's not too slow, I'll add it to the zip-file in first post. Question 3 GitHub. No. Question 4 Show structure in listview. This is intentional. 1. It takes some time to calculate the structure of a subtree with 1000 elements or more. The calculation is complete when the structure appears in the listview. 2. Perhaps you only need a single or a few rows in the structure. You can select these rows in the listview and use "Copy all or selected items to clipboard" in the "Right pane" main menu to copy only those few rows. Question 6 A Search feature is planned for the next version. Question 7 Use the function keys to handle a menu. Here's an example with Notepad File menu: Run UIASpy.au3. Open Notepad. Click File menu. Place mouse cursor over first menu item. Press F1. Press F2. Switch to UIASpy. It should look like this: Left: F1, Middle: F2, Right: Treeview (red items because the corresponding UI elements doesn't exist, the menu is closed) Question 5 Move example to "Projects and collaboration" forum. I think such an example is too small for "Projects and collaboration". But a more general topic, eg. "UI Automation Updates" might be interesting to start up under "Projects and collaboration". This can include a discussion of a spy tool. First of all, an update of the code in CUIAutomation2.au3 (constants and definitions) is required. CUIAutomation2.au3 contains Windows 7 code. To support Windows 8 and Windows 10 probably 50 - 100 new interfaces, methods, properties and constants are added which are not included in CUIAutomation2.au3. An UI Automation thread in "Projects and collaboration" can certainly be interesting.

@pixelsearch Or just "spy" it using AutoItWindowInfoTool You'll notice that the ListView handle and the ListView header handle are different.

pixelsearch, Because the header is a separate control from the ListView itself - just as a button is separate from the GUI which contains it. The _GUICtrlListView_GetHeader function will get you the header handle if required. The same thing is true for combo controls, where the combo, input and dropdown list are all separate controls - look at the example for _GUICtrlComboBox_GetComboBoxInfo to see this illustrated. M23

GoogleDude, It sounds to me as if you need to recast your entire "main/include" philosophy! But to deal with the immediate problem: the code of any include file is inserted into the main script at the point of the #include directive, so if you declare the Global variables before that point they should be visible within your includes. M23

That was one of the the tiny script breaking changes introduced with one of the latest new versions.

Should be doable with either IUIAutomation or Webdriver. See my sig for the 2nd one. ;-)

maybe this will help.. and perhaps this..

Thats one of the issues you will get when using array within an array you would need to first use a variable to create a sub-array, you will also note that your $maxSteps is out of bounds. Personally I would use 2d method like my example above otherwise it becomes difficult to follow when you writing it into 1d Array. #include <Array.au3> Local $stepMessage[1] = ["NULL"] ;This will become a dynamically filled array. Local $maxSteps = 1 ;Make this 2 if "Next Step" is required. Local $step = 1 ;This will be incremented when a step is passed or failed. Local $function[1] ;This will be a dynamically filled 2d array [$step, $functionName]. Local $functionCount = 1 ;How many automated function calls will be done. ;Default = 1 (because $function already has 1 element Local $functionsCalled = 1 ;How many functions have been called (used for tracking what the next function is). ;Default = 1 (because $function already has 1 element writeStep("a", '"Hello" & @CRLF & "There!"') writeStep("m", '"Hello I AM BOB"', "tempTest()") writeStep("ma", '"Hello" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "K"') writeStep("x", '"This is unspecified..."', "tempTest()") Func writeStep($executionType, $message, $functionName = "NULL") _ArrayAdd($stepMessage, getExecutionType($executionType) & '& "Step: " & $step & "/" & ($maxSteps - 1) & @CRLF & @CRLF & $message') If($functionName <> "NULL") Then ;If a function name has been provided to be run. Local $tempArray[2] = [$maxSteps, $functionName] _ArrayAdd($function, $tempArray, 0, "|", @CRLF, 1) ;Add the function to the array with the step it needs to be executed on. $maxSteps += 1 EndIf EndFunc Func getExecutionType($executionType) If($executionType = "m") Then Return '"<Manual>" & @TAB & @TAB ' ElseIf($executionType = "a") Then $functionCount = $functionCount + 1 Return '"<Auto>" & @TAB & @TAB & @TAB ' ElseIf($executionType = "ma") Then $functionCount = $functionCount + 1 Return '"<Manual/Auto>" & @TAB ' Else Return '"<Unspecified>" & @TAB ' EndIf EndFunc Func tempTest() MsgBox(0, "TEST", "I AM tempTest()") EndFunc MsgBox(4096, "Array Info", "$function count = " & UBound($function) & @CRLF & "$maxSteps = " & $maxSteps) While($step < $maxSteps) MsgBox(0, "TEST", "HELLO1") If($functionCount > 1) Then ;Error will be thrown if no functions were added, hence this If was added. MsgBox(0, "TEST", "HELLO2") If IsArray($function[$step]) Then $aSubArray = $function[$step] _ArrayDisplay($aSubArray) If($step = $aSubArray[0]) Then MsgBox(0, "TEST", "HELLO3") Execute($aSubArray[1]) MsgBox(0, "TEST", "HELLO4") $functionsCalled = $functionsCalled + 1 EndIf EndIf EndIf MsgBox(0, "TEST", "HELLO5") $step += 1 WEnd

Hi IAMK, I just had a quick look at your script : you got errors because your 2D Array can't be declared like this, in fact you declared a 1D array : Local $function[1] ;This will be a dynamically filled 2d array [$step, $functionName] If you want an empty 2D array, with 2 columns, then you need to declare it like this : Local $function[0][2] ; 0 row, 2 columns Or if you don't feel comfortable with the "0 row", like that : Local $function[1][2] ; 1 row, 2 columns => [[$step], [$functionName]] Then later, when you populate it, you can do it in a simple way : ; Instead of : ; Local $tempArray[2] = [$maxSteps, $functionName] ; _ArrayAdd($function, $tempArray, 0, "|", @CRLF, 1) ;Add the function to the array with the step it needs to be executed on. ; Try : _ArrayAdd($function, $maxSteps & "|" & $functionName) Also it's a good idea to place an _ArrayDisplay after each _ArrayAdd during the development phase : it shows you immediately if something is going wrong Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion and I will look at it, but you do know you can make the change already for yourself by adding the following line to SciTEUser.properties (SciTE menu / Options / Open User Options File) : command.shortcut.6.$(au3)=Ctrl+Shift+F6 jos

If you use the following you do not have to build a sleep in: #include <Excel.au3> and to open use $oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen($file, 1) $oExcel.run("mymacro1");<<<< == Your Macro to run

Try this: #include <IE.au3> $oIE = _IEAttach("IE Get an attribute") $oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection($oIE) For $oLink in $oLinks ConsoleWrite($oLink.getAttributeNode('onclick').NodeValue & @CRLF) Next Dale
