This UDF allows to set an events handler for Mouse device. The beginning... I searched for a way to disable the Mouse Primary click, and be able to call some function when the click event is received... Big thanks to amel27 for this one, i only organized the whole stuff to UDF style. Example: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include "MouseOnEvent.au3" HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit") _Example_Intro() _Example_Limit_Window() Func _Example_Intro() MsgBox(64, "Attention!", "Let's set event function for mouse wheel *scrolling* up and down", 5) ;Set event function for mouse wheel *scrolling* up/down and primary button *down* action (call our function when the events recieved) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLDOWN_EVENT, "_MouseWheel_Events") _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLUP_EVENT, "_MouseWheel_Events") _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_PRIMARYDOWN_EVENT, "_MousePrimaryDown_Event") Sleep(3000) ;UnSet the events _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLDOWN_EVENT) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLUP_EVENT) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_PRIMARYDOWN_EVENT) ToolTip("") MsgBox(64, "Attention!", "Now let's disable Secondary mouse button up action, and call our event function.", 5) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_SECONDARYUP_EVENT, "_MouseSecondaryUp_Event", 0, 1) Sleep(5000) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_SECONDARYUP_EVENT) ToolTip("") EndFunc Func _Example_Limit_Window() Local $hGUI = GUICreate("MouseOnEvent UDF Example - Restrict events on specific window") GUICtrlCreateLabel("Try to click on that specific GUI window", 40, 40, 300, 30) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Press <ESC> to exit", 10, 10) GUISetState() _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_PRIMARYDOWN_EVENT, "_MousePrimaryDown_Event", $hGUI) ;A little(?) bugie when you mix different events :( ;_MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_SECONDARYUP_EVENT, "_MouseSecondaryUp_Event", $hGUI) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN MsgBox(0, "", "Should not be shown ;)") EndSwitch WEnd _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_PRIMARYDOWN_EVENT) ;_MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_SECONDARYUP_EVENT) EndFunc Func _MouseWheel_Events($iEvent) Switch $iEvent Case $MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLDOWN_EVENT ToolTip("Wheel Mouse Button (scrolling) DOWN Blocked") Case $MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLUP_EVENT ToolTip("Wheel Mouse Button (scrolling) UP Blocked") EndSwitch Return $MOE_BLOCKDEFPROC ;Block EndFunc Func _MousePrimaryDown_Event() ToolTip("Primary Mouse Button Down Blocked") Return $MOE_BLOCKDEFPROC ;Block EndFunc Func _MouseSecondaryUp_Event() ToolTip("Secondary Mouse Button Up Blocked") EndFunc Func _Quit() Exit EndFunc Available Events Constants: ------------------------------------------ CHANGELOG: Download: Attached: MouseOnEvent_2.4.zip Old version: MouseOnEvent.zip - v2.3 MouseOnEvent_2.1.zip MouseOnEvent_2.0.zip MouseOnEvent_UDF_1.9.zip MouseSetOnEvent_UDF_1.8.zip MouseSetOnEvent_UDF_1.7.zip MouseSetOnEvent_UDF_1.6.zip MouseSetOnEvent_UDF_1.5.zip MouseSetOnEvent_UDF_1.4.zip MouseSetOnEvent_UDF_1.3.zip Previous downloads: 146 + 200 + 804 MouseOnEvent.zip MouseOnEvent.zip

This roundup of "virtual keyboards" (https://www.buttoncommander.com/en/input-devices/difference-between-hotkeyboard-devices-and-keyboard-devices/) inspired me to create this simple "LaunchPad" script. with this script you can easily create panels with buttons for starting programs, but not only, you can also associate macros, shortcuts, functions with the buttons ... In short, the $aTools 2D array contains the settings that determine the behavior of each "Button", namely 4 parameters for each row (for each button); [n][0] the tooltip of the button [n][1] path of an icon or a file containing icons [n][2] the number of the icon (if the previous parameter is a collection) [n][3] AutoIt command(s) to be executed directly on button click (or also the name of a function) (see the script for some examples of use) If you have ideas for new records for that array you are encouraged to post it here (thanks) You can easily change the buttons dimensions and the shape of the initial deck by changing the $iStep and $iNrPerLine variables in the script (deck is resizeable as well) Credits: This script makes use of some useful snippets kindly provided by @KaFu, @Danyfirex and @mikell (see the comments in the script for references) Tips (or ready made modifications) for improvements are as always welcome. have fun ; =============================================================================================================================== ; Title .........: LaunchPad ; Description ...: button deck to be used as an applications launcher (and not only) ; Author(s) .....: Chimp (Gianni Addiego) ; credits to @KaFu, @Danyfirex, @mikell (see comments for references) ; =============================================================================================================================== #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> ; <WinAPISysWin.au3> #include <SendMessage.au3> #include <WinAPIFiles.au3> ;Turn off redirection for a 32-bit script on 64-bit system.

Seriously??? haven't found the Report button yet on your screen? Having said that: Your way of asking question is such that it is somewhat logical you get these type of responses ...so you could simply ignore them...right? Oh, and while I have your attention: Could you please stop quoting full replies each time as that only makes the thread totally unreadable. Just quote a sentence or paragraph when referring to it or simply answer as the original text is just above it. Jos

There are some rules but, what is welcomed, to me is: If you solved the issue, post the code that solved it. If you solved the issue, add [solved] to the title by editing the first post The functions that are not in the help file, add a link to the source Func _SetBitmap($hGUI, $hImage, $iOpacity, $n_width = 200, $n_height = 200) ; https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/202041-gdi-png-buttons/?tab=comments#comment-1449747 ... ... Above all, don't get personal with a post oh, I'm not a mod. but I felt like sharing.

Here is an example I posted recently, the image is embedded into the exe when compiled, you'll need ResourcesEx.udf and will need to make a couple of changes to get it working, people have commented on what changes are required, while I have used bmp in the post, I also tried with png files and they worked fine

I made some plugins for Notepad++

It is mainly a debugging tool that easily enables you to show results of operation when you run your script from Scite editor. Although you can compile your script non-GUI (CUI) and use ConsoleWrite to send information to DOS console, it is rarely used in that perspective. Also you can use ConsoleWrite in Parent-Child processes where child process is sending through stream information to parent process. This is a more frequent usage of the function.

The mods are minor and I've already added a lot of my code, so I'll just post the differences: The initialization: Local $aApp[0]Should be changed to: Local $aApp[1][1](For the compiler) And then the condition: If IsArray($aApp) thenShould be changed to: If (UBound($aApp)>1) thenP.S. I love Autoit!!!

I've not tried that. maybe later. So you can do something like this: #include <WinAPICom.au3> #include <Process.au3> #include <Array.au3> Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) Global Const $CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER = 0x01 + 0x02 + 0x04 + 0x10 Global Enum $eRender, $eCapture, $eAll, $EDataFlow_enum_count Global Enum $AudioSessionStateInactive, $AudioSessionStateActive, $AudioSessionStateExpired Global Const $eMultimedia = 1 Global Const $sCLSID_MMDeviceEnumerator = "{BCDE0395-E52F-467C-8E3D-C4579291692E}" Global Const $sIID_IMMDeviceEnumerator = "{A95664D2-9614-4F35-A746-DE8DB63617E6}" Global Const $sTagIMMDeviceEnumerator = _ "EnumAudioEndpoints hresult(int;dword;ptr*);" & _ "GetDefaultAudioEndpoint hresult(int;int;ptr*);" & _ "GetDevice hresult(wstr;ptr*);" & _ "RegisterEndpointNotificationCallback hresult(ptr);" & _ "UnregisterEndpointNotificationCallback hresult(ptr)" Global Const $sIID_IAudioMeterInformation = "{C02216F6-8C67-4B5B-9D00-D008E73E0064}" Global Const $sTagIAudioMeterInformation = "GetPeakValue hresult(float*);" & _ "GetMeteringChannelCount hresult(dword*);" & _ "GetChannelsPeakValues hresult(dword;float*);" & _ "QueryHardwareSupport hresult(dword*);" Global Const $sIID_IMMDevice = "{D666063F-1587-4E43-81F1-B948E807363F}" Global Const $sTagIMMDevice = _ "Activate hresult(clsid;dword;ptr;ptr*);" & _ "OpenPropertyStore hresult(dword;ptr*);" & _ "GetId hresult(wstr*);" & _ "GetState hresult(dword*)" Global Const $sIID_IAudioSessionManager2 = "{77aa99a0-1bd6-484f-8bc7-2c654c9a9b6f}" Global Const $sTagIAudioSessionManager = "GetAudioSessionControl hresult(ptr;dword;ptr*);" & _ "GetSimpleAudioVolume hresult(ptr;dword;ptr*);" Global Const $sTagIAudioSessionManager2 = $sTagIAudioSessionManager & "GetSessionEnumerator hresult(ptr*);" & _ "RegisterSessionNotification hresult(ptr);" & _ "UnregisterSessionNotification hresult(ptr);" & _ "RegisterDuckNotification hresult(wstr;ptr);" & _ "UnregisterDuckNotification hresult(ptr)" Global Const $sIID_IAudioSessionEnumerator = "{e2f5bb11-0570-40ca-acdd-3aa01277dee8}" Global Const $sTagIAudioSessionEnumerator = "GetCount hresult(int*);GetSession hresult(int;ptr*)" Global Const $sIID_IAudioSessionControl = "{f4b1a599-7266-4319-a8ca-e70acb11e8cd}" Global Const $sTagIAudioSessionControl = "GetState hresult(int*);GetDisplayName hresult(wstr*);" & _ "SetDisplayName hresult(wstr);GetIconPath hresult(wstr*);" & _ "SetIconPath hresult(wstr;ptr);GetGroupingParam hresult(ptr*);" & _ "SetGroupingParam hresult(ptr;ptr);RegisterAudioSessionNotification hresult(ptr);" & _ "UnregisterAudioSessionNotification hresult(ptr);" Global Const $sIID_IAudioSessionControl2 = "{bfb7ff88-7239-4fc9-8fa2-07c950be9c6d}" Global Const $sTagIAudioSessionControl2 = $sTagIAudioSessionControl & "GetSessionIdentifier hresult(wstr*);" & _ "GetSessionInstanceIdentifier hresult(wstr*);" & _ "GetProcessId hresult(dword*);IsSystemSoundsSession hresult();" & _ "SetDuckingPreferences hresult(bool);" Global $bExit= not False HotKeySet("{ESC}","_Exit") _WinAPI_CoInitialize() Local $aApp =0 While $bExit $aApp = _GetAppsPlayingSound() If IsArray($aApp) then ConsoleWrite("!SoundDetected!!!" & @CRLF) For $i= 0 to UBound($aApp)-1 ConsoleWrite($aApp[$i][0] & @CRLF) Next ConsoleWrite("!End" & @CRLF) EndIf Sleep(100) WEnd _WinAPI_CoUninitialize() Func _Exit() $bExit=False EndFunc Func _GetAppsPlayingSound() Local $pIMMDevice = 0 Local $oMMDevice = 0 Local $pIAudioSessionManager2 = 0 Local $oIAudioSessionManager2 = 0 Local $pIAudioSessionEnumerator = 0 Local $oIAudioSessionEnumerator = 0 Local $nSessions = 0 Local $oMMDeviceEnumerator = 0 Local $aApp[0] Local $pIAudioSessionControl2 = 0 Local $oIAudioSessionControl2 = 0 Local $oIAudioMeterInformation = 0 Local $ProcessID = 0 Local $fPeakValue = 0 Local $iState = 0 Local $iVolume = 0 Local $oErrorHandler = 0 $oErrorHandler = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "_ErrFunc") $oMMDeviceEnumerator = ObjCreateInterface($sCLSID_MMDeviceEnumerator, $sIID_IMMDeviceEnumerator, $sTagIMMDeviceEnumerator) If @error Then Return $aApp If SUCCEEDED($oMMDeviceEnumerator.GetDefaultAudioEndpoint($eRender, $eMultimedia, $pIMMDevice)) Then ;eRender $oMMDevice = ObjCreateInterface($pIMMDevice, $sIID_IMMDevice, $sTagIMMDevice) $oMMDevice.Activate($sIID_IAudioSessionManager2, $CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, 0, $pIAudioSessionManager2) $oIAudioSessionManager2 = ObjCreateInterface($pIAudioSessionManager2, $sIID_IAudioSessionManager2, $sTagIAudioSessionManager2) $oIAudioSessionManager2.GetSessionEnumerator($pIAudioSessionEnumerator) $oIAudioSessionEnumerator = ObjCreateInterface($pIAudioSessionEnumerator, $sIID_IAudioSessionEnumerator, $sTagIAudioSessionEnumerator) $oIAudioSessionEnumerator.GetCount($nSessions) For $i = 0 To $nSessions -
