Wouldn't curb things as much as you might think. We have tried things like that in the past; there is even an entire thread dedicated to false positives that people see, why the occur, and what to do about them. Yet people continue to post issues they encounter because the don't stop to read.

The ConsoleWrite in the function completes before the one in the main script, so the output you saw makes sense to me. You should return the result from the function if you want it to appear inline with the other text -- ConsoleWrite("Hello " & _write15() & " B" & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite("END" & @CRLF) Func _write15() Return 5*3 EndFunc

Look at the followiing functions in help file: ShellExecute - to open .mp3/.mp4 with associated program ControlSend or Send - for Ctrl+a and Ctrl+c FileOpen - Open new text file in write mode using @Year&@Mon&@MDay&@Hour&@Min&@Sec.txt FileWrite - Write to the new text file FileClose - Close the new text file Run - Run the batch script alternatively add the batch script into Autoit script.

Just to complete this here, out of the suggestion/answer by @Dan_555, it would look like the following: HotKeySet('{ESC}', '_Exit') HotKeySet('1', '_ToggleLeftShift') HotKeySet('{!}', '_ToggleLeftShift') Global $bIsDown = False Func _Exit() Exit EndFunc Func _ToggleLeftShift() $bIsDown = Not $bIsDown If $bIsDown Then Send('{LSHIFT DOWN}') Return EndIf Send('{LSHIFT UP}') EndFunc While True Sleep(200) WEnd Please notice, that I use this example because @SevenScript also had another question about it here. This is a combination of a toggle function with the SHIFT key problem (which is solved by the statement of @Dan_555 above) 👍 . Best regards Sven

Hi totally agree with @JLogan3o13 as I also experienced almost the same during my professional path as a Software Test Engineer (for Test Automation). There is not much to add out of my perspective, but I had good experience with UIPath in the past. @noellarkin It depends 😅 . Do things on your own with pure code instead of RPA solutions seems to be better, you're right. Until the point you want to share and extend your approach with non-technical team members or at least with not well experienced ones. Best regards Sven

Something like Global $software = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stefanini\VW Software Store\VWStoreAPP.exe" Global $Executavelrede = "\\VWBRANDFH1881\fs_rollout\S1003_B-FIO_Meu_Ativo_Loja_Softwares\S2001_Softwares\_Transfer\VW Software Store.exe" If Not FileExists($software) Then Run($Executavelrede) EndIf

I'm not a regular contributor here but if the @argumentum digital signing tool works, I think it would be good to add it to the "AutoIt and Malware" page (https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/AutoIt_and_Malware) as well as the "solution" post on this thread.

The child is being moved alright, it's just the repaint that gets messed up for some reason. Here's my lolsome solution: #include <GuiConstants.au3> $Gui = GuiCreate("Test", 300, 200) $ChildGui = GuiCreate("Child test", 300, 200, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $Gui) $ParentPosArr = WinGetPos($Gui) WinMove($ChildGui, "", $ParentPosArr[0]+$ParentPosArr[2], $ParentPosArr[1]) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Gui) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $ChildGui) GUIRegisterMsg(0x231, "On_WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE") GUIRegisterMsg(0x232, "On_WM_EXITSIZEMOVE") While 1 $Msg = GUIGetMsg(1) Select Case $Msg[1] = $Gui And $Msg[0] = -3 Exit EndSelect WEnd Func On_WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE() WinSetTrans($ChildGui, '', 254) EndFunc Func On_WM_EXITSIZEMOVE() WinSetTrans($ChildGui, '', 255) EndFunc There's a better way of doing it than this workaround, but I'm no GUI expert, so go from here on your own if you want. Maybe WM_PAINT or something...

you can call in this order ConsoleWrite("Hello ") _write15() ConsoleWrite(" B" & @CRLF & "END" & @CRLF) Func _write15() ;ConsoleWrite("15") ConsoleWrite(5*3) EndFunc or ConsoleWrite("Hello " & _write15() & " B" & @CRLF) ConsoleWrite("END" & @CRLF) Func _write15() ;ConsoleWrite("15") Return 5*3 EndFunc
