@Nine Just noticed I haven't used shuffle before, and had to look for it. It does have shuffle (all my music is offline in VLC). That icon looked like a cross-fade to me It does add existing songs in a playlist if they reside in different albums though (same name, different album), feature for some, bug for others perhaps.

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) .... Based on the initial AIO Object I now have made the interface file to work with objCreateInterface function which is in the latest beta's automate clicking and querying basic information It gives you a lot of basic information to be able to automate clicking, querying basic information where it goes further in certain situations than AutoIt is identifying Starting threads for background on the ui automation api of microsoft (not for starters) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_UI_Automation http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms747327.aspx Previous threads in general help/support Interface AutoItObject IUIAutomation ObjCreateInterface and struct tagPoint in method ElementFromPoint Be aware that API is not allways installed under XP/Vista see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971513 Within Windows 7 and Windows 8 it should be preinstalled by default.

Found the issue Original ArrayDisplayInternals.au3 (version 3.3.14.5) lines #560 to #563 : If Not IsHWnd($hWnd) Then $hWnd = GUICtrlGetHandle($hWnd) ;~ Local Const $LVM_GETHEADER = (0x1000 + 31) ; 0x101F Local $hHeader = HWnd(GUICtrlSendMsg($hWnd, 0x101F, 0, 0)) Move line #560 just below the 2 others : ;~ Local Const $LVM_GETHEADER = (0x1000 + 31) ; 0x101F Local $hHeader = HWnd(GUICtrlSendMsg($hWnd, 0x101F, 0, 0)) If Not IsHWnd($hWnd) Then $hWnd = GUICtrlGetHandle($hWnd) Now the sort arrow will be displayed when you sort on any column

@TheDcoder If you need the line number for something, yes. I would remove it altogether after making sure everything is working as intended though. No need for avoidable computation.

Thanks guys for the test, which confirms the same behavior on all computers. This lack of the sort arrow is probably annoying for many users because this little arrow shows at same time which column is sorted + if the sort is ascending or descending. For example have a look at this link where paulpmeier had to describe what he was doing in his initial pics ("first click", "second click") because the sort arrow didn't show in _ArrayDisplay I found a couple of links, here and there (both from 2009) which lead us to the right direction, not counting the help file, topic _GUICtrlListView_SortItems (1st example) which shows it's possible to easily display a sort arrow when left clicking on the header column of a listview control. So the question is : why doesn't it work in _ArrayDisplay ? Melba23 could certainly answer to this question better than me, but meanwhile I'd like to share some thoughts with you. This is what we read at line #555 in ArrayDisplayInternals.au3 (version 3.3.14.5) ; #DUPLICATED Functions to avoid big #include <GuiListView.au3># ================================================================ ; Functions have been simplified (unicode inprocess) according to __ArrayDisplay_Share() needs Now let's have a look at 2 concerned lines in ArrayDisplayInternals.au3 1) Line #448 __ArrayDisplay_RegisterSortCallBack($idListView, 2, True, "__ArrayDisplay_SortCallBack") Let's replace it with its corresponding "original" line : _GUICtrlListView_RegisterSortCallBack($idListView, 2, True) 2) Line #522 __ArrayDisplay_SortItems($idListView, GUICtrlGetState($idListView)) Let's replace it with its original line : _GUICtrlListView_SortItems($idListView, GUICtrlGetState($idListView)) 3) And of course, for this test, let's add at the beginning of ArrayDisplayInternals.au3 : #include <GuiListView.au3> Now the sort arrow appears when you run the little test script posted above and you should have a display corresponding to the image in 1st post So it seems that there is a little "discrepancy" (?) between the #DUPLICATED Functions and the originals, which prevent the sort arrow to be displayed. As these functions are very similar, it shouldn't be too hard to compare both of them and finally allow everybody to display this important sort arrow in _ArrayDisplay, without including GuiListView.au3... of course

@CYCho Make sense. FWIW, they can co-exist but you would need to override the default port for one of them.

Hey all, @TheDcoder No, I didn't forget to put in $iLine, it was merely for displaying line number for console output. Should have mentioned that though @Jos I had to go out, so could only test it now. So @error is set afterwards, and it is ok. However, I noticed another mistake in YuChan's code. FileOpen with mode 1 (append mode) does not read any lines in my test. Default 0 works (as mentioned in FileReadLine details). Global $journalFile = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\dofbotJournal.txt") ; don't use mode 1

I believe you already did

I'm not sure that I completely understand your existing code, but this is what it would look like if I were to rewrite it -- If @OSArch = "x64" Then DllCall("kernel32.dll", "boolean", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "boolean", 1) ;~ Turns On 64 Bit Redirection EndIf Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:OSKMainClass]") If @error Then ShellExecute("osk.exe") WinWait("[CLASS:OSKMainClass]", 5) $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:OSKMainClass]") ; This is what you were missing EndIf WinMove($hWnd, "", 563, 387, 1000, 400)

Well, spoon-feeding it to you is what you usually want. I guess you can hope someone comes along that is willing to do the work for you after 9 years on the forum....

add this line after child creation : _WinAPI_RedrawWindow($h_GUI)

Hi Paul, Long explanation coming Your comments can be explained, because _ArrayDisplay always uses a comparison type based on Windows API StrCmpLogical, as you can see in the help file, topic _GUICtrlListView_RegisterSortCallBack, where the 2nd parameter (= 2) means "Use Windows API StrCmpLogical" This corresponds to line #448 in ArrayDisplayInternals.au3 (version 3.3.14.5) __ArrayDisplay_RegisterSortCallBack($idListView, 2, True, "__ArrayDisplay_SortCallBack") When this 2nd parameter = 2, then the sort isn't done in a pure alphabetically (ascii) way because "Digits in the strings are considered as numerical content rather than text", as explained on the MSDN web page. A note from Wikipedia concerning this "natural sort" : Natural sort order is an ordering of strings in alphabetical order, except that multi-digit numbers are treated atomically, i.e., as if they were a single character. Natural sort order has been promoted as being more human-friendly ("natural") than the machine-oriented pure alphabetical order. It could explain why, in your very last diagram, when the 1st character in col1 is a digit (0 for all rows), then "01" means 1, "02" => 2, "03" => 3, while "0A" and "0B" equal to 0 (because their 1st 0 is not followed by a digit), which could explain why "0A" and "0B" are placed on the 1st two lines, in an ascending sort using StrCmpLogical Your other column (col0) doesn't have the same character at 1st place but a simple "1", "2", "3", "A", "B" In this case, I guess that StrCmpLogical immediately sorts the letters after the numbers when the sort is ascending, after comparing for example "3" to "A" and finding that the ascii code for "A" is higher than the ascii code for "3", which will result in an ascending sort like this : 1 - 2 - 3 - A - B So it seems that both columns have their contents treated very differently, depending on the fact that a digit is found or not... at least this is the only explanation I can find. If anyone could confirm or disprove this explanation, please do not hesitate, thanks I find it hard to solve your issue, because changing permanently the 2nd parameter in line #448 (from 2 to 0, meaning you want a pure String comparison) will solve your case... but will bring issues when you have numerals to compare. Same if you change it permanently from 2 to 1 ("String treated as number") The only (bad) way I found to sort correctly your pointers & handles (or any hex number starting with 0x) in your 1st diagram is : * Line 448 : 2nd parameter = 1 (String treated as number) * Lines 596 to 600, added a test on "0x" : If $__g_aArrayDisplay_SortInfo[8] = 1 Then ; force Treat as Number if possible If StringIsFloat($sVal1) Or StringIsInt($sVal1) Or StringLeft($sVal1, 2) = "0x" Then $sVal1 = Number($sVal1) If StringIsFloat($sVal2) Or StringIsInt($sVal2) Or StringLeft($sVal2, 2) = "0x" Then $sVal2 = Number($sVal2) EndIf Then an array like this one... Global $aSortTest[6][1] = [["0x0B"], ["0x020"], ["0x0C"], ["0x03"], ["0x01"], ["0x0A"]] ...would correctly be sorted (ascending) This is the reason why, in my CSV file editor, a choice is given to the user, before each sort (by right-clicking a header column) so the user chooses the kind of sort he wants, instead of being stuck with a "forced" way of sorting : This required of course to register the sort, do the sort, then unregister it each time the user wants to sort, no big deal. So, if this is really important to you, I guess you'll have to tweak a bit your own version of ArrayDisplayInternals.au3 Good luck

very interesting project! going to read the code and test. thanks for this.

Here's an example (based on nested Maps) you can play with. The function vd() produces a variable dump as the output shows. Local $m[] ; $m is a Map $m["abc"] = "This" $m["def"] = "That" $m["key"] = 111 vd($m) ; till now, everything was added explicitely ; now use a function to insert new value(s) to possibly already existing keys _Add2Map($m, "ghi", "One more value") ; key not existing vd($m) ; several values to existing key _Add2Map($m, "key", 123) _Add2Map($m, "key", 456) _Add2Map($m, "key", 789) vd($m) ; same value to existing key _Add2Map($m, "key", 456) vd($m) Func _Add2Map(ByRef $map, $key, $value) If MapExists($map, $key) Then ; same as If $m[$key] = Null Then If IsMap($map[$key]) Then MapAppend($map[$key], $value) Else Local $m2[] ; an empty map $m2[1] = $map[$key] $m2[2] = $value $map[$key] = $m2 EndIf Else $map[$key] = $value EndIf EndFunc Map[3] ['abc'] => String (4) 'This' ['def'] => String (4) 'That' ['key'] => Int32 111 Map[4] ['abc'] => String (4) 'This' ['def'] => String (4) 'That' ['key'] => Int32 111 ['ghi'] => String (14) 'One more value' Map[4] ['abc'] => String (4) 'This' ['def'] => String (4) 'That' ['key'] => Map[4] [1] => Int32 111 [2] => Int32 123 [3] => Int32 456 [4] => Int32 789 ['ghi'] => String (14) 'One more value' Map[4] ['abc'] => String (4) 'This' ['def'] => String (4) 'That' ['key'] => Map[5] [1] => Int32 111 [2] => Int32 123 [3] => Int32 456 [4] => Int32 789 [5] => Int32 456 ['ghi'] => String (14) 'One more value' Now I don't really get what/when you'll need to remove elements and on which criterion. Anyway, the keys of nested maps in this example are positive increasing integers in insert order. Removing any entry in a Map is faster than removing a row in an array.
