[BUGFIX VERSION] - 6 Apr 24 Fixed: UDF failed if header colours were initialised but not specifically set. New UDF in the zip below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: This is a new recoded and expanded version of my earlier UDF of the same name. If you move to this new version there might well be several script-breaking changes, particularly when setting which columns are to be editable. Please read the "Beginner's Guide" and look at the included example scripts to see where things have changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This UDF allows you to do much more with ListView controls (either native or UDF created): Edit the content with plain text, combos or date-time pickers - and edit the headers too Move rows within the ListView Drag rows both within the ListView and to other ListViews in the same GUI (or not as required) Insert and delete columns and rows Sort columns by simply clicking the header Colour individual ListView items and headers Only select a single cell rather then the entire row Save and load entire ListViews For the advanced user: If you use certain Windows message handlers (In particular WM_NOTIFY) in your script, please read the function headers for the equivalent handlers within the UDF. Here is the UDF, with 6 examples and the guide, in zip format: GUIListViewEx.zip Credit to: martin (basic drag code), Array.au3 authors (array functions), KaFu and ProgAndy (font function), LarsJ (colouring code) Happy to take compliments or criticism - preferably the former!

After very hard working for two days, the FAST AES UDF finally here. These functions use the embedding DLL technique and the codes are almost all written in low-level language, so it is PURE SCRIPT but run very fast. For general user, the interface is quite simple: ; To encrypt/decrypt memory block or string: $Encrypted = _AesEncrypt("Key", "Plantext") $Decrypted = _AesDecrypt("Key", $Encrypted) $Result = BinaryToString($Decrypted) ; To encrypt/decrypt file _AesEncryptFile("Key", $PlantextFilename, $ChipertextFilename) _AesDecryptFile("Key", $ChipertextFilename, $PlantextFilename) For advanced user, here are some technical details. The exactly key type of the functions should be 16, 24, or 32 bytes binary. If a string is used, the script just convert it into binary and pad 0x00. To use the binary keys, my MD5 and SHA1/SHA2 hash UDF may be helpful (here and here). For both memory and file functions, there are three block cipher modes include "CBC", "CFB", "OFB" can be specified. For example: (See "What is block cipher modes". BTW, CBC mode use the ciphertext stealing method internally.) _AesEncrypt("Key", "Plantext", "CFB") _AesDecrypt("Key", $Encrypted, "CFB") _AesEncryptFile("Key", $PlantextFilename, $ChipertextFilename, "CFB") _AesDecryptFile("Key", $ChipertextFilename, $PlantextFilename, "CFB") _AesEncrypt/_AesDecrypt operate on only one block of memory. If the data to encrypt/decrypt are not continuous, you have to handle all the work by yourself. For example: $IV = Binary("0x00000000000000000000000000000000") $Ctx = _AesEncryptKey($Key) $Ret = _AesCryptOFB($Ctx, $IV, "The quick brown fox ") $Ret &= _AesCryptOFB($Ctx, $IV, "jumps over the lazy dog") MsgBox(0, '', $Ret) $IV = Binary("0x00000000000000000000000000000000") $Ctx = _AesEncryptKey($Key) $Ret = _AesCryptOFB($Ctx, $IV, $Ret) MsgBox(0, '', BinaryToString($Ret)) CBC/CFB/OFB are different. To use the correct CTX generator and set the correct IV are important. Dig the source in AESTest.au3 may get some inspiration. Here is a summary: CBC mode uses _AesEncryptKey/_AesEncryptCBC to encrpyt and _AesDecryptKey/_AesDecryptCBC to decrypt. But if the length of source < 16 bytes, the IV returned by _AesEncryptCBC should be used. Otherwise, use the same IV as _AesEncryptCBC.CFB mode always uses _AesEncryptKey to generate a CTX, but uses _AesEncryptCFB/_AesDecryptCFB to encrypt/decrypt. However, it always uses the same IV to start.OFB mode is the simplest one. Encryption and decryption are exactly the same. See the example.Notice: Although CFB/OFB only use the _AesEncryptKey() to generate a CTX of key, but always regenerate a new CTX before starting to encrypt or decrypt. This library should pass both Known Answer Test and Monte Carlo Test. To try it, download the test vectors from here and remove the comment in AESTest.au3.

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.

Thanks that was what I was looking for earlier, just couldn't find the parameter I needed. It actually did not help with my problem as the 1000 lines is far short of the line 3000 that reported an error, but at least now I know a new skill. I'll have to wait until I find another computer with the issue and see if I can recreate it then I will figure it out. Thanks for the help.

Thanks UEZ This version includes the possibility to hide the panel by right clicking on the title bar. The panel disappears and only a placeholder icon (a star) remains in its place. To make the panel reappear just right click on the star icon. When the panel is closed, it "remembers" the current size and position in an ini file so that the next run it reappears where it was. I haven't replaced the old version in the first psost because I'm not sure this is better ... probably making the panel disappear beyond the edges would be a more gracious effect, but ... this requires more programming effort ... 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.

Every time I had a drag/drop problem it came from elevation issues. If the GUI was running as admin and the explorer process was not then it would not have enough permissions to drag a file. If it is working on some machines and not others I wonder if it may be a UAC setting or some other process creating a difference in the rights. You can go so far as to run the GUI as admin, and manually run a file explorer process as admin and it will work, but when they are mixed it creates issues.

I know that there is a search button in this site, but someone in other forums wrote about Chrome and he divided by 1600xxxx and 1000xxxx, i was think that these topics in AutoIt Forum was not useful 😕 Just this.
