This is an old article and you may have to update the UDF scripts to make work with the latest AutoIt. Ini in Memory

If you really want to reduce redundancy, you could do something like : While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $idButton_Close ExitLoop Case $idCheckbox1 to $idCheckbox10 _buttonResponse($nMsg) EndSwitch Wend

@LarsJ Thanks for your information. I got the answer: local $oChromeAddressBar=_UIA_getFirstObjectOfElement($oChrome,"title:=Adress- und Suchleiste" , $treescope_subtree) ;works in chrome 65

@mLipok It may not be 2 cents, by I have a groszy 1. Document the ADO capabilities 2. Allows for user function extensions

Last Tuesday I posted an _ArraySort() with case sensitivity in the Examples forum. The function _ArraySortc() gives the same results as notepad++ sorting - with case sensitivity. #include <ArrayMultiSortCase.au3> ; Found @ https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/198148-_arraymultisort-sort-multiple-columns-with-case-sensitivity/? local $a[]= [ _ "APR_SCC_CBI","APR_SCC_CBI_DM","APR_SCC_CBI_DMIS","APR_SCC_CBI_IS","APR_SCC_CBI_NO","APR_SCC_CBI_O","APR_SCC_CBII", _ "APR_SCC_CBII_DM","APR_SCC_CBII_DMIS","APR_SCC_CBII_IS","APR_SCC_CBII_NO","APR_SCC_CBII_O","APR_SCC_CBIII","APR_SCC_CBIII_DM", _ "APR_SCC_CBIII_DMIS","APR_SCC_CBIII_IS","APR_SCC_CBIII_NO","APR_SCC_CBIII_O"] _ArraySortc($a, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1) ; $iDescending = 0(ascending); $iCase = 1(Case sensitive) _ArrayDisplay($a, "First file: notepad++ sorting" ) _ArraySort($a) _ArrayDisplay($a, "Second file: _ArraySort function" )

There is really no need for code to answer such a question. The reason it doesn't work with GUICtrlCreateListViewItem is that this built-in command doesn't support item icons. Perhaps you can specify a single icon using GUICtrlSetImage but it's not worth the trouble. If you want icons in your listview then you should use the functions in the UDF. The purpose of all the built-in GUICtrlCreate-commands is to make it easy and quick to get started for a new AutoIt coder. On the other hand, they all have quite limited functionality. If you want more functionality, use the UDF functions.

Indeed not all ADO interface layers support all CursorTypes. Some support all inconditionally, some offer those the DB engine offers, some support only some (conditionally or not), etc. The variable support for CursorLocation property makes things even muddier. The same occurs with LockTypes. But all LockTypes can't be implemented only in the ADO wrapper: they can only reflect what the engine is capable of. ADO specifies a fair number of recordset properties, methods and events. Full cursor support can be counter-productive in that if the engine doesn't offer built-in efficient cursor support relying on the engine capabilities, the ADO has to implement it in its code, forcing the full recordset of a query to be stored in memory. Then it's too easy for inexperienced SQL programmer to forget that an inconspiscious (too broad) query may need yottabytes of RAM at the ADO level.

Use an UIA spy tool eg. simplespy by junkew (place the mouse over the control and press ctrl+w) or UIASpy (place the mouse over the control and press F1).

this example is very good thank you very much i hope you continue developing this program with my greetings

Clark, Looking back through the old versions of the UDF it seems that it used to use the default _GUICtrlListView_SimpleSort to do the sorting but adding colour to the mix meant that this was no longer possible and so I changed the UDF to sort its internal array and then rewrite the ListView. Hence your old script could well have worked - another mystery solved! Glad you find the UDF useful. M23

Simple solution to this problem - create a second exe that launches your rebooter at the time you want using the task scheduler. The EXE launcher will be hidden yet your rebooter won't be.

Usually its better to use software deployment using SCCM although it maybe overkill for your organisation. In which case I would recommend PDQ Deploy - https://www.pdq.com/pdq-deploy/ we use both SCCM and PDQ Deploy for third-party patching and forcing installations like anti-virus etc... as the machines come online. Just my 2cents.

UDFs for managing Ini format in memory.

ValeryVal, This could be useful if you not have too many events. By the way, all four examples in post #112 works now. Here is an example with the structure change event handler. When you download exe-files in IE9, IE10 or IE11 a notification bar shows up in the bottom of the window. This example automatically clicks the save and close buttons when the notification shows up. If a security scan notification or a download completed notification shows up the close button will be clicked.

You can do this with FreeImage, but it would be easier with GDIplus. FreeImage forces you to care about Bit-depth and palettes, GDIPlus doesn't. Anyways, this code should work: $hMainImage = _FreeImage_LoadU($FIF_JPEG, "C:\TheJPEG.jpg", 0) $hMainImage32bit = _FreeImage_ConvertTo32Bits($hMainImage) _FreeImage_Unload($hMainImage) ; we have the copy in 32bits $hGIFImage = _FreeImage_LoadU($FIF_GIF, "C:\aGIF.gif", 0) $hGIFImage32bit = _FreeImage_ConvertTo32Bits($hMainImage) _FreeImage_Unload($hGIFImage) ; we have the copy in 32bits $iX = 12 $iX = 34 ; both images have to be in same format, this is why they were converted. _FreeImage_Paste($hMainImage32bit, $hGIFImage32bit, $iX, $iY, 300) ; last parameter > 255 for combiing without custom transpareny _FreeImage_Unload($hGIFImage32bit) ; now drawn, not needed anymore _FreeImage_SaveU($FIF_JPEG, $hMainImage32bit, "C:\Combined.jpg", 0) _FreeImage_Unload($hMainImage32bit) ; we saved it, not needed anymore
