That's the drawback of heuristics: they can misinterpret a tree as a school bus when a bird leaves its nest in the tree.

Ho. I got it. Put a Sleep (3000) in between the 2 blocks of code ! It will wait for closure before executing the second attempt...

After EmguCV (OpenCV wrapper) UDF , I wanted to improve the concept of generating autoit udf bindings from c/c++ source files. GTK was a project that get my attention. That means: It is a heavy UDF with more that 8900 functions since they were generated from the gtk source files Complex gtk applications can be done with the UDF Functions keep the same name as in the source files prefixed with an underscore. The project is available here Prerequisites Download and extract gtk-autoit-bindings-v1.0.0-rc.0.7z into a folder Download and extract gtk-windows-4.3.2.7z into a folder Examples The classic Hello World #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) #Region ;

For that reason, I recommend to create a dll that export functions that do the loops. autoit-addon is a dll project example.

New version available. Added DLL source code to Zip file.

I think in that case would be better concept to use temporary opened new (child) window to allow user to input some options (visually in GUI). This window will have controls corresponding to menu item from which it has been opened (corresponds to one TabItem here) and buttons OK/Cancel. So you will not mix dynamic "Options" controls in main GUI and it will be in other new GUI window.

Read what was posted, you need static for every declaration you want to be one-shot: #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <ColorConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <Sound.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Local $mEndpoint_ABS = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Endpoint", $mABS) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "tab_ABS") Func tab_ABS() Local Static $idTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(0, 10, 620, 355) Local Static $idT1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Plate Type") Local Static $idT2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Shake") Local Static $idT3 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("More Settings") Local Static $idT4 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("") EndFunc

2 weeks ago I starts having issue in time when I compile one of my projects. Funny thing is that solution to all my problems was to add at the top of my scirpts, this following line: If Not @Compiled Then ConsoleWrite('ESET') Today it starts hapening for my other projects. I also remember such case: Several years ago, I was working on corrections to one of my projects. I have been correcting it for several hours of work. At the end, when I achieved the desired effect, I noticed that I had a linguistic error (a typo) in one of the messages. So I literally corrected one letter and sent the amendment to the update server. Then, in a remote connection (TeamViewer) at the client's workstation, I wanted to finally update the product. It turned out that changing one letter in the program code regarding the displayed message may cause the heuristic methods of antivirus programs to recognize the program as a virus.

Weak, I know. Some coffee missing

I revised a few lines. Please dowload the above file again before you finalize your code. Yes, please. It would be good if someone else could benefit from your hard work.

I would do something like this; $timer=TimerInit() $quit=0 Do if WinActive("YourWindowTitleHere") then $quit=1 if TimerDiff($timer)>30000 then $quit=2 ;either $quit=2 or exit here EndIf Until $quit>0 If $quit=2 then Exit

If you want to search for a part of the String use the following code: $aItems = _OL_ItemFind($oOutlook, $aFolder[1], $olMail, "", "Subject", "part of the subject", "Subject,Body,SenderEmailAddress", "", 1)
