samibb, Why on earth did you hijack a totally unrelated thread to ask this question? Short answer: No, because GOTO is evil. Longer answer: AutoIt uses functions instead, which offers more control over the flow of your script without the risk of spaghetti code. M23

This is based on this topic. With this UDF, you can define all the HotKeySet you want on any of the keyboards. The keys registered as HotKeySet are not sent to the active window. I also created a "Event-driven" mode for lengthy procedure. There is still the immediate action mode for short procedure. Note that in Event-driven mode, you will need to create an close loop to intercept the HotKey events. Events are asynchronous. In Event-driven mode only one procedure can be running at a given time. But immediate action procedure can interrupt a Event-driven procedure. All procedures are declared as actual function (without quotes). It is important that lengthy procedure should be declared as Event-driven, otherwise the system may become unstable. Version 2024-01-04 * Added support to {LEFT} and {RIGHT} keys * Added more information about keyboards in list * Added new parameter to _MKHKS_Initialize to exclude a specific keyboard from the list. To do so, you simply provide partial part (as a string) of the device name. Version 2024-01-03 * Added support to Send command, Hotkey must be set for the first keyboard. Version 2022-12-22 * Added support to register the same Hotkey on multiple keyboards (same or different functions) * Added possibility to unregister a Hotkey for a particular keyboard * Added validation on registering the same Hotkey twice It may happen that the list would provide more keyboards than they are actually connected. To exclude one particular keyboard, you could run the following example and test the hotkeys (0, 1, 2, ...) on each keyboard to see which ones are responding. Then you can provide partial string of the device to be excluded with the _MKHKS_Initialize function. #include "MKHKS-UDF.au3" Example() Func Example() HotKeySet("{END}", _Exit) Local $iNumKB = _MKHKS_Initialize() For $i = 0 To $iNumKB - 1 _MKHKS_Register_HotKey(String($i), _Test, $i, False) ; set hotkey to keyboard number (0, 1, 2,...) Next While Sleep(50) WEnd EndFunc ;==>Example Func _Exit() Exit EndFunc ;==>_Exit Func _Test() ConsoleWrite("Test succeeded - " & @HotKeyPressed & " was Key Pressed" & @CRLF) EndFunc ;==>_Test As usual if you have any suggestion, I would be very interested to hear them.

To make it easier to maintain the UIA code, I've decided to split the code this way: This new thread is used for the actual UIA UDFs. Ie. the files stored in Includes folders and named UIA_*.au3 or UIAEH_*.au3. The UIASpy thread contains only code that is used directly in the UIASpy GUI, but not the UIA UDFs in this new thread. Using UIA Code contains only example code, but neither UIA UDFs nor UIASpy. UIA Events contains GUI code to detect events and it contains example code, but neither UIA UDFs nor UIASpy. This means that every time the code in the UDF files in this new thread is updated (eg. because of Windows 10 feature updates twice a year), you must install the files in the Includes folders in the other threads yourself. The easiest way is simply to copy all UDF files to the Includes folders. UDF Files CUIAutomation2.au3 - UIA constants for Windows 7 used in the first examples CUIAutomation2-a.au3 - The original UIA constants for Windows 7 from junkew's thread UIA_AccVars.au3 - Used to calculate properties of type VT_UNKNOWN, copied and modified from this thread UIA_Constants.au3 - UIA constants (copied from UIA header files) up to and including Windows 10 1809 UIA_ConstNames.au3 - Contains functions for converting UIA constants from values to names UIA_Functions.au3 - A collection of small utility functions UIA_Functions-a.au3 - First version of utility functions UIA_ObjectFromTag.au3 - Creates callback objects used in event handlers, copied and modified from this post by trancexx UIA_SafeArray.au3 - Constants and functions to handle safearrays, copied from this thread UIA_Variant.au3 - Constants and functions to handle variants, copied from this thread UIAEH_AutomationEventHandler.au3 - Implements the AutomationEventHandler UIAEH_FocusChangedEventHandler.au3 - Implements the FocusChangedEventHandler UIAEH_NotificationEventHandler.au3 - Implements the NotificationEventHandler, published in Windows 10 1709 UIAEH_PropertyChangedEventHandler.au3 - Implements the PropertyChangedEventHandler UIAEH_StructureChangedEventHandler.au3 - Implements the StructureChangedEventHandler Folders The UI Automation projects can be stored in a folder structure this way: UI Automation\ Code\ - Using UIA code Events\ - UIA events Spy tool\ - UIASpy.au3 UDFs\ - UDF files The UDF files must be installed in Includes\ in the first three folders. Threads UIASpy - UI Automation Spy Tool is a GUI tool that provides information about windows and controls and their interconnection and provides functionality to generate sample code. UIASpy is essential for creating UI Automation code. In Using UI Automation Code in AutoIt you can find and download examples and read information about using UIA code. UI Automation Events is about implementing event handlers and includes GUIs to detect events. IUIAutomation MS framework automate chrome, FF, IE, .... created by junkew August 2013 is the first AutoIt thread on UIA code. Zip-file The zip contains source code for the UDF files. You need AutoIt 3.3.12 or later. Tested on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10. Comments are welcome. Let me know if there are any issues. UIAIncludes.7z

Version 2.x.x and 3.x.x has been moved to branch 3.x About Autoit-Socket-IO Autoit-Socket-IO is a event driven TCP/IP wrapper heavily inspired from Socket.IO with focus on user friendliness and long term sustainability. I constantly want to make this UDF faster and better, so if you have any suggestions or questions (beginner and advanced) Do not hesitate to ask them, I will gladly help! Key features Simple API 99% data-type serialization thanks to Autoit-Serialize Can easily be extended with your own functionality thanks to Autoit-Events "Educational" examples Data encryption thanks to _<Crypt.au3> Limitations Speed. This UDF will sacrifice some speed for convenience Getting started Download the script from AutoIt or pull it from the official github repo git@github.com:tarreislam/Autoit-Socket-IO.git and checkout the tag 4.0.0-beta Check out the documentaion Take a look in the examples/ folder Changelog To see changes from 3.x.x and 2.x.x please checkout the 3.x branch Version 4.0.0-beta (This update break scripts.) Code base fully rewritten with Autoit-Events and decoupled to improve code quality and reduce bloat. The new UDF is very different from 3.x.x so please checkout the UPGRADE guide to fully understand all changes Added new documentation documentaion Success stories Since December 2017-now I have used version 1.5.0 in an production environment for 150+ clients with great success, the only downtime is planned windows updates and power outages.

Dears is there any function in AutoIT works like GOTO in VBA i need it ? Thanks

I am currently working on an update, that stores and updates Source (file/folder) size (that part is done), and does a destination drive free space check and keeps tab of source size changes (that part isn't done yet). I've also added an editor to use instead of Notepad with Paths List files, which is something I should also implement in TeraCopy Timer. Stay tuned for the v1.5 update ... coming soon!

You can see quite well which process is which when you load the Microsoft ProcessExplorer. This is an example of running a script from SciTE: As you can see, Autoit3Wrapper is running, a "/Watcher" to monitor the shelled process and the actual script test.au3. Jos

You can do something like below You can assign function to a variable like $f=consolewrite $f("hello world") Just read the call, assign, eval, exitloop keywords in the helpfile func example() $stepCount=0 ;Some restart logic if ($failed) then $stepCount = 25 endif while ($stepCount <=99) call "step" & cstr($iCount) $stepCount=$stepCount+1 wend endfunc func step1() ... endfunc func step2() ... endfunc ... func step99() ... endfunc Nice example

At the very least, the excessive use of GOTO would be a decent substitute for an obfuscator .

I'll be the devil's advocate and say that it is not... but it is pretty easy to misuse @samibb As many others have pointed out in this thread, functions are used to split tasks into separate sections of code. For other uses of GOTO, consider using loops and other various control flow statements to accomplish your task

Just explain why you think you need GOTO and you will get alternative solutions

Hi @samibb. If you're desperate, AutoIt2 has GOTO 😅

Majedz, If you want to store all the values then just place them in an array as you generate them: #include <Array.au3> Global $aResults[50] For $i = 1 To 50 ; get an integer between 0 and 100 $aResults[$i - 1] = Random(0, 100, 1) Next _ArrayDisplay($aResults, "", Default, 8) Now you can play with them as much as you wish. It would be helpful if you could give us some idea of why you are asking these min/max questions - if we knew just what you are trying to do we might be able to offer some more focused advice. M23

I hope soon I find time to provide new features and examples based on the knowledge which I gather thanks to this above mentioned book. btw. Today I also buy this one: I hope it will be delivered to me sometime in a month, so it is possible that after the summer vacation, sometime in about half a year, I will have the opportunity to present new curiosities.

Majedz, Store the current min and max values to compare: #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> ; Set placeholders $iMin = 9999 $iMax = 0 For $i = 1 To 50 ; get an integer between 0 and 100 $iResult = Random(0, 100, 1) If $iResult < $iMin Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "New Min", $iResult) $iMin = $iResult ElseIf $iResult > $iMax Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "New Max", $iResult) $iMax = $iResult EndIf Next MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "End:", "Max: " & $iMax & @CRLF & "Min:" & $iMin) M23

#include <Array.au3> ; Testdata : Local $L0=3120, $L1=2120, $L2=131, $L3=923, $L4=8120, $L5=520, $L6=5120, $L7=6120, $L8=3120, $L9=4120, $L10=5120 Local $aLowValues[11] = [$L0,$L1,$L2,$L3,$L4,$L5,$L6,$L7,$L8,$L9,$L10] _ArrayDisplay($aLowValues) ; *** just for display MsgBox(0, "", "minimum Value = " & _ArrayMin($aLowValues,0) & @CRLF & "minimum Index = " & _ArrayMinIndex($aLowValues,0), 5) _ArraySort($aLowValues, 0) _ArrayDisplay($aLowValues) ; *** just for display

Emanoel, In the past we have found that failure to open an .mp3 file with _SoundOpen is usually due to a corrupt ID3 tag - it would be worth checking your files for this problem. M23
