Hmm, 2 years ago, first character was a # and now it is a ; Total new challenge !

pixelsearch, What an interesting discovery that you seem to need to hide/show BOTH scrollbars using $SB_BOTH to get it to work properly. Good detective work on your behalf. But I notice that, just as with GUIScrollbarsEx, the RESTORE is not correct when using Win-D or the taskbar "hide all" button. I may have to register WM_SIZE as I did a couple of months ago with the GUIScrollbarsEx code. Needs a bit of thought first. I sometime wish I had written UDFs for less flaky controls than scrollbars and ListViews are both are real pains to work with - although that is probably why there were no complex UDFs for them beforehand. M23 Edit: I think it might be a good idea to write a 3rd UDF for the package which will deal with MINIMIZE/RESTORE cycles for initiated GUIs - that way the _SIZE UDF retains its current stand-alone form. Something to keep me occupied over the next few days.....

Screen scraping means a way to read / write on the representation of the current screen. You can, with this UDF, read the actual foreground of the screen or a background window. Hidden or minimized window are not supported. I tried to optimize the use of AutoIt as much as I could, but some actions require the performance of a DLL. I have found multiple threads and others UDF discussing this subject but never found an optimized approach to this issue without gathering everything inside a large DLL. The examples I am providing show how to use a background window (even if it is in the foreground when you run it directly with Scite) or use the current screen. Reading current screen is faster (about 20-30 ms faster) than reading a background window. You need to first initialize the structure based on width and height. You can reuse the structure as long as you want if the dimensions do not change. You will need to make a new initialize if dimensions are changing. You do not need (this way) to have the actual size of a window. You can decide to reduce the dimensions to increase performance. Supports x86 and x64. The following functions are included in the UDF : _GetScreen_Initialize($iWidth, $iHeight) _GetScreen_GetScreen() _GetScreen_GetWindow($hWnd, $iFlag = 0) _GetScreen_GetPixel($iX, $iY) _GetScreen_SetPixel($iX, $iY, $iValue) _GetScreen_SearchArea($iLeft, $iTop, $iRight, $iBottom, $iColor, $iStart = 1) _GetScreen_SearchAll($iColor, $iStart = 1) _GetScreen_PixelReplaceArea($iColorFrom, $iColorTo, $iLeft, $iTop, $iRight, $iBottom) _GetScreen_PixelReplaceAll($iColorFrom, $iColorTo) _GetScreen_CheckSumArea($iLeft, $iTop, $iRight, $iBottom) _GetScreen_SaveFile($sFileName) _GetScreen_GetBitMap() Version 2022-04-17 * Added new optional parameter $iFlag to _GetScreen_GetWindow 0 = full window for Win 7 and over 1 = client area for Win 7 and over 2 = full window for Win 10 and over (this can be used with applications (like Chrome) that do not support WM_PRINT or WM_PRINTCLIENT messages) Version 2021-11-28 * Corrected a bug in SearchArea Version 2021-08-30 * Fixed bugs related to areas * Added support to repetitive searches in the same area * Added a function to make a CheckSum of an area * Added an additional example Version 2021-08-24 * Removed unused structure * Harmonized code Example 1 : show various functions using the _GetScreen_GetWindow (background support) Example 2 : show new functions using _GetScreen_GetScreen() (foreground only but faster) All comments are very much welcome.

I'd first like to thank Jon for creating AutoIt. Also, thank you to all the developers for the countless hours they selflessly devote to keeping it going. And lastly thank you to all the people of this forum who offer their guidance to people like me. I've been using AutoIt since 2005 and owe my IT career to all these people. The "GUIScrollbars_Ex.au3" UDF, developed by Melba23, has opened the door to many possibilities for me. Melba23 has been one of the best, all time, at contributing to AutoIt and this forum. For a number of days, I've been trying to resolve what I believe is my logic issue. I'm creating a script which can be dynamically resized, depending on the size of the controls. My issue is I can't get the buttons to space evenly at the bottom of the gui. I'm using AutoIt v3.3.16.0 and the "GUIScrollbars_Ex.au3" UDF I downloaded again on April 4th. The below script is only dealing with the number of rows changing. But once this is resolved, I'd like to apply it to the number of columns changing also. Thank you for the direction anyone may have to offer. taurus905 ; Resizing Gui with Scrollbar Example.au3 #include <WindowsConstants.au3> ; $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW #include <GUIScrollbars_Ex.au3> ; _GUIScrollbars_Generate #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ; $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "_Increment_Row") ; Increment Row HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit") ; Exit ; _Create_Gui() ; Create Gui Global $h_Gui Global $i_Key_Width = 40 Global $i_Key_Height = 20 Global $i_Row_Increment = 2 Global $i_Rows = 8 Global $i_Cols = 4 Global $i_Gui_Width = $i_Key_Width * $i_Cols Global $i_Gui_Height ; _Create_Schrollbars() ; Create Schrollbars Global $i_Gui_Titlebar_Height = 27 Global $i_Gui_Boarder = 3 Global $i_Aperture_Width = $i_Key_Width * $i_Cols + _ 2 * $i_Gui_Boarder Global $i_Aperture_Height Global $i_Scrollbar_Size = 17 Global $f_Scrollbar_Horz = 0 Global $f_Scrollbar_Vert = 1 ; _Create_Keys() ; Create Keys Global $s_Key_Name MsgBox(262208, _ ; $MB_TOPMOST + $MB_ICONINFORMATION "Resizing Gui with Scrollbar Example", _ "Use the 'Pause' key to increment Gui rows" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "and the 'Escape' key to exit script." & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "Scroll to end of Gui to see row of keys" & @CRLF & _ "which shows inconsistent spacing.") _Increment_Row() ; Increment Row While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd Exit Func _Increment_Row() ; Increment Row GUIDelete($h_Gui) $i_Rows += $i_Row_Increment $i_Gui_Height = $i_Key_Height * $i_Rows _Create_Gui() ; Create Gui $i_Aperture_Height = $i_Key_Height * $i_Rows * .5 + _ $i_Gui_Titlebar_Height + _ $i_Gui_Boarder _Create_Schrollbars() ; Create Schrollbars _Create_Keys() ; Create Keys GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $h_Gui) EndFunc ; ==> _Increment_Row Func _Create_Gui() ; Create Gui $h_Gui = GUICreate("Resizing Gui", _ $i_Gui_Width, _ $i_Gui_Height, _ Default, _ Default, _ Default, _ BitOR($WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, _ $WS_EX_TOPMOST)) GUISetBkColor(0x000000) ; Black EndFunc ; ==> _Create_Gui Func _Create_Schrollbars() ; Create Schrollbars WinMove($h_Gui, "", _ Default, _ Default, _ $i_Aperture_Width + $i_Scrollbar_Size, _ $i_Aperture_Height) _GUIScrollbars_Generate($h_Gui, _ $i_Gui_Width, _ $i_Gui_Height - $i_Scrollbar_Size, _ 0, _ 0, _ Default, _ 7) ; Number of lines/chars moved by a single cursor key press - default 0 _GUIScrollBars_ShowScrollBar($h_Gui, $SB_HORZ, $f_Scrollbar_Horz) _GUIScrollBars_ShowScrollBar($h_Gui, $SB_VERT, $f_Scrollbar_Vert) EndFunc ; ==> _Create_Schrollbars Func _Create_Keys() ; Create Keys For $row = 0 To $i_Rows - 1 For $col = 0 To $i_Cols - 1 $s_Key_Name = $row + 1 & "." & $col + 1 GUICtrlCreateButton($s_Key_Name, _ ($col) * $i_Key_Width, _ ($row) * $i_Key_Height, _ $i_Key_Width, _ $i_Key_Height) GUICtrlSetTip(-1, _ $i_Key_Width & "w x " & _ $i_Key_Height & "h x " & _ $i_Rows & " rows") GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, _ 0xFFFFFF) ; White GUICtrlSetFont(-1, _ Default, _ 900) ; Bold Next Next EndFunc ; ==> _Create_Keys Func _Exit() ; Exit Exit EndFunc ; ==> _Exit

Glad you liked the scripts, taurus905 In a few minutes, I'm gonna amend the While...Wend loop of 2 other scripts above (the vertical one and the horizontal one) to get a more robust loop, so all 3 scripts will behave correctly when the gui is restored after it was minimized using Win-D or "hide all" button from taskbar, as Melba23 indicated in this link

Try “fa-IR”? Also check if it is supported by your OS and install additional language pack if required (and available).

How does this differ from the question you already asked nearly 2 years ago ? https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/203486-file-read/?do=findComment&comment=1461145

Hi Melba23, I'm facing a problem with your function _GUIScrollbars_Restore() found in GUIScrollbars_Size.au3 and I found a solution to fix it. The issue doesn't appear when there is only 1 scrollbar to restore. For example, the script GUIScrollbars_Size_Example_2.au3 works fine because it only got a vertical scrollbar, so its code restores the scrollbar & the content of the GUI at their correct position, after the vertical scrollbar had been moved and the GUI minimized : Case $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE     _GUIScrollbars_Restore($hGUI, True, False) The issue happens when there are 2 scrollbars to restore, for example in the 3rd script you shared a few days ago (now found in this thread) and you introduced it with these words "And here is an example which is dynamic in both directions" : #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIScrollBars.au3> #include <ScrollBarConstants.au3> #include <WinAPISys.au3> #include "GUIScrollbars_Size.au3" HotKeySet("^+R", "_Increase_Rows") HotKeySet("^+C", "_Increase_Cols") ;

Since you're only overwriting the values you can just use IniWrite without the IniRead or use the function more efficiently, for example: _SaveIni("Key1", "ExpectedValue1") _SaveIni("Key2", "ExpectedValue2") _SaveIni("Key3", "ExpectedValue3") Func _SaveIni($_sKey, $_sValue) Local $sFilePath = @ScriptDir & "\FilePath.ini" Local $sSection = "Section" Local $sIniRead = IniRead($sFilePath, $sSection, $_sKey, "") If $sIniRead = $_sValue Then Return IniWrite($sFilePath, $sSection, $_sKey, $_sValue) EndFunc

Thank you, let's have both Ok, my preceding post tested a vertical scrollbar and showed a possible issue in the function _GUIScrollBars_Init() found in GuiScrollBars.au3, because of a constant = 27, when the function is called with only 1 argument : Func _GUIScrollBars_Init($hWnd, $iMaxH = -1, $iMaxV = -1)     ...     If $iMaxV = -1 Then $__g_aSB_WindowInfo[$iIndex][7] = 27     ... EndFunc Now let's start some tests with an horizontal scrollbar, which will show a similar issue : The code corresponding to the pic above will be found below. Meanwhile : * 1st & 2nd gui are correct : no vertical phantom scrollbar, no gap. * 3rd gui shows a non-draggable vertical phantom scrollbar. * 4th gui shows a gap at the right, which would increase indefinitely when you add columns. Starting with 3rd gui, the issue appears because of the following line : Func _GUIScrollBars_Init($hWnd, $iMaxH = -1, $iMaxV = -1)     ...     If $iMaxH = -1 Then $__g_aSB_WindowInfo[$iIndex][1] = 48 * $iXAmount + 12 * $iUpperX     ... EndFunc Do you notice this value of 462 in Col1 of all preceding ArrayDisplay's ? This is the value of $__g_aSB_WindowInfo[$iIndex][1] on my computer. As soon as the value in Col4 (cxClient) becomes superior to 462, then a vertical non-draggable phantom scrollbar & gap will appear. A possible solution is to increase this value of 462 when calling _GUIScrollBars_Init(), like this : ; _GUIScrollBars_Init($h_GUI) ; phantom scrollbar + gap when no 2nd / 3rd param. _GUIScrollBars_Init($h_GUI, 1500) ; 2nd parameter passed to avoid phantom scrollbar + gap Then everything comes back to normal : Code corresponding to these pics : ; Resizing Gui with Horizontal Scrollbar Example.au3 #include <Array.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WinAPISys.au3> #include "GUIScrollbars_Size.au3" Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "_Increment") ; Increment HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit") ; Exit ; Get 1 character height & width (before creating GUI, as it will be used to calculate controls size) Global $aCharSize = _GSB_Size_Text(GUICreate("")) ; M23's internal function in GUIScrollbars_Size.au3 GUIDelete() Global $iCharWidth = $aCharSize[0], $iCharHeight = $aCharSize[1] ; ConsoleWrite($iCharWidth & " " & $iCharHeight & @crlf) ; 7 & 16 on my PC ; _Create_Gui() ; Create Gui Global $h_Gui Global $i_Increment = 2 Global $i_Rows = 6 Global $i_Cols = 8 Global $i_Key_Width = $iCharWidth * 10 ; 70 on my PC (7 * 10) Global $i_Key_Height = $iCharHeight * 1 ; 16 on my PC (16 * 1) Global $i_Gui_Width Global $i_Gui_Height = $i_Key_Height * $i_Rows Global $nH_Pos, $iIncMini = 0 ; _Create_Schrollbars() ; Create Schrollbars Global $iScroll_Width = _WinAPI_GetSystemMetrics(2) ; Width of VScrollbar: SM_CXVSCROLL Global $iScroll_Height = _WinAPI_GetSystemMetrics(3) ; Height of HScrollbar: SM_CYHSCROLL ; ConsoleWrite($iScroll_Width & " " & $iScroll_Height & @crlf) ; 17 & 17 on my PC ; _Create_Keys() ; Create Keys Global $s_Key_Name MsgBox(262208, _ ; $MB_TOPMOST + $MB_ICONINFORMATION "Resizing Gui with Horizontal Scrollbar Example", _ "Use the 'Pause' key to increment Gui cols" & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "and the 'Escape' key to exit script." & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "Scroll to end of Gui to see cols of keys" & @CRLF & _ "which shows consistent spacing.")
