50 is the number of characters but in addition, make sure there is room for a terminating zero character. Replace this line Local $tText = DllStructCreate( "wchar[" & StringLen($sItem) & "]" ) with this line Local $tText = DllStructCreate( "wchar[" & StringLen($sItem)+1 & "]" ) To optimize the code for speed, the fastest thing you can do is to define $tText and $pText at the top of the code as global variables in this way (the AutoIt code interpreter will not spend a single nano second on that line in the WM_NOTIFY function): Global $tText = DllStructCreate( "wchar[1024]" ), $pText = DllStructGetPtr( $tText ) Make sure the $tText buffer is sufficiently large. The second fastest thing you can do is to define $tText and $pText as local static variables in the WM_NOTIFY function (the AutoIt code interpreter will not spend much time on the line when the variables are initialized): Local Static $tText = DllStructCreate( "wchar[1024]" ), $pText = DllStructGetPtr( $tText ) The slowest thing you can do is to create the variables dynamically every time you need them (the AutoIt code interpreter must interpret and execute these 3 commands (DllStructCreate, StringLen, DllStructGetPtr) each time a single cell in the listview needs to be updated).

So I am trying to implement an archive system of sorts for my (SQLite) DB app. I wrote a function to attach a separate (archive) DB and sync the columns with main DB. If archive DB file does not exist, create file with _SQLiteOpen then close the file (and thus connection) with SQLite_Close. This works as intended, however, after the create operation, all subsequent _SQLite_* functions returned a "Library misuse error". After a little digging I found the problem in the _SQLite_Close function: it clears the "last opened database" handle even when there still is a live DB connection open. All other functions then "think" there is no DB connection active. I hacked two functions in the UDF for a quick fix: In _SQLite_Close: Change ... $__g_hDB_SQLite = 0 __SQLite_hDel($__g_ahDBs_SQLite, $hDB) Return $iRval[0] to: $__g_hDB_SQLite = __SQLite_hDel($__g_ahDBs_SQLite, $hDB) Return $iRval[0] and in Func __SQLite_hDel changed Func __SQLite_hDel(ByRef $ahLists, $hGeneric) Local $iElement = _ArraySearch($ahLists, $hGeneric) If $iElement > 0 Then _ArrayDelete($ahLists, $iElement) EndFunc ;==>__SQLite_hDel to: Func __SQLite_hDel(ByRef $ahLists, $hGeneric) Local $iElement = _ArraySearch($ahLists, $hGeneric) If $iElement > 0 Then _ArrayDelete($ahLists, $iElement) Return $ahLists[UBound($ahLists)-1] ; Return last opened db EndIf Return 0 EndFunc ;==>__SQLite_hDel so it preserves last opened DB again. My archive function now works great I'm not sure if this should be classified as a bug, but I believe so... Hope this helps someone before

@PrexCoder what part of this rule: are you finding difficult to comprehend? Do not post this question again.

@ScriptLineNumber knows the #include. I can write Func this($var = @ScriptLineNumber) and it knows, just knows, now, somewhere ( in AutoIt ) is kept\noted. @ScriptFullPath and @ScriptName are that of the executed script and is the same if called in an included script. As it should and should not be otherwise. Hence there are missing macros, call them @IncludeScriptFullPath and @IncludeScriptName. Once compiled, the @IncludeScriptName and @ScriptName would obviously have the same value but while coding, these would come in handy. I came up with the inspiration and that is perfectly possible to do, while writing the "register almost all 219 messages (UDF/tool)". Not that is a great achievement as a tool but the ConsoleWrite("Script.au3"(@ScriptLineNumber) : note.. ) shows to know where to jump to. All that was missing was the @IncludeScriptName, to not hardcode the script name. And since @ScriptLineNumber knows the #include, where is my macro !!! I hope ( and honestly believe ), that is a useful macro, and a motion to add these be taken to the Overlord for immediate implementation. PS: I understand that there are more pressing things to do but, this may be just there, without much to do to the AutoIt code, other than add the macro. I'll add it to the trac, see where it goes. Added ticket # 3766.

Bad luck bud .... that's the Universe(s) for you. I've had a word with Miss Universe, and she now promises to leave you alone (bad luck). However, Mr. Universe might not be so obliging .... especially if he thinks you have been paying undue attention to his daughter. And bud ...... he's got arms of steel .... so be careful when you are thinking of swearing at the Universe. Anyway bud, good to see you are making at least some forward progress ... all sounds quite promising ... all this work on ImagineIt.

I use everything for everything. ( https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/184771-voidtools-everything-file-search-engine-ipc/ ) But I've got ppl that use it to search for text from within the documents and other than making my own indexer ( with fts3 ), I rather use the one from the OS that already does that. ..and setting to "Index Properties and File Contents", it's just perfect. Now, getting the data from into an array takes a knowing I just don't have. And don't mean read explorer.

Sure thing. I don't think it's rocket science, but if it would be helpful ... Here's a sample script that creates a Font Family/Style/Size chooser GUI. EnumFontTree() uses _WinAPI_EnumFontFamilies() to gather a list of all installed font families (this particular version leaves out those beginning with "@"), and organizes it into a tree of families and associated sub-families. The funny business happens on lines 130-131 -- any font families in the initial return list that start with the same 'stem' (prefix) get grouped together as associated 'sub-families' Then when EnumFontStyles() enumerates the styles for a given family, it includes both those obtained by calling _WinAPI_EnumFontFamilies() on that family, plus any 'sub-families' that were collected in the initial pass. (The rest of the code is just dedicated to creating and managing the three combo boxes). The result is similar to _ChooseFont(), but not identical. Note, for example, that if you select Cambria from the Family list, the Styles list populates with Cambria, Cambria Bold, Cambria Bold Italic, Cambria Italic ... and Cambria Math. _ChooseFont() doesn't do this. My code groups Cambria Math together with the others because the name begins with the same 'stem'. _ChooseFont() doesn't because ...

VAN0, We discovered this same problem in my GUIListViewEx thread - LarsJ explains it in detail here. Not a lot you can do about it I am afraid, other then forcing to x86. M23

I am working on a tokensizer which will be the first stage in parsing, some call it the scanner phase. It is basically taking the raw text and converting it into tokens (variable, string, number, operator, keyword etc.), which are much easier to work with in code, the next step would be syntactic analysis, which is just a fancy word to describe to process of checking if the tokens are in the right order (e.x. checking if 123 = $number is in the right order... spoiler alert: it is not in the right order). As usual, not much work code wise but I have a plan in my mind now, and I spent most of my time today researching how enumerators work in C and if linked-lists are really the best way to store dynamically allocated data. Another nice thing is that I have finally created a repository with the code: https://github.com/DcodingTheWeb/EasyCodeIt The code is very basic right now, it just prints the contents of the script to the standard output, I will update it as I work on features. Don't forget to give the repository a 🌟 star if you like what I am doing

I've tested the header color example as 64 bit code on both Windows 7 and Windows 10. In both cases, it fails. There are no colors in the header.

In the GUIRegisterMsg example, only CDDS_PREPAINT notifications are displayed in SciTE console. The problem seems to be that the CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW return values are not received by the operating system. Therefore, the operating system does not generate CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT or CDDS_ITEMPOSTPAINT notifications and the header items are not colored. Because the Subclassing example works, it excludes errors in the $tagNMLVCUSTOMDRAW structure. It seems like there is an error in the internal AutoIt code associated with the GUIRegisterMsg function when the code is run as 64 bit code. The return values from the WM_NOTIFY message handler are not properly forwarded to the operating system. The error seems also to be related to the fact that the header control is a second level child in relation to the GUI. Colors does work for a listview control which is a first level child. Solution: Implement the WM_NOTIFY message handler in GUIListViewEx.au3 using the Subclassing technique. This is not necessarily completely trivial. In my example above, it looks easy. But this is also a very small example. Lars.

If you ever get to see it work, you'll see how handy it is, mostly if you have many terabytes of files ( or just plain can't remember where a file is at )

Sorry guys, it was kind of a bad day today, the day started with a power outage which lasted for a good 4 hours, which left me muggy and irritated. After that I got busy with lunch, catching up with other stuff, watching videos etc. So couldn't really take out time for coding. I did make some minor progress, wrote a structure for storing tokens and a skeleton function. I now have to figure out how to deal with white-space, which should be relatively easy. Hope to have something working by tomorrow
