The following code draws a picture from the clipboard to a gui window. The original code hasn't displayed the picture from the clipboard, and after a lot of trial and errors i found the solution which does work (i'm using windows 10). You have to have a screenshot or a picture in the clipboard for this to work (this script is sending a printscreen key if the clipboard content is not bitmap). Resizing reloads the picture from the clipboard. ;modified code from https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/57053-updating-a-picture-control-without-a-file/?do=findComment&comment=514735 #include <ScreenCapture.au3> #include <Clipboard.au3> #include <GDIPlus.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WinAPIHObj.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Global $hGUI = GUICreate("Draw Image from Clipboard ", 400, 300, -1, -1, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_SIZEBOX)) GUISetState() If Not _ClipBoard_IsFormatAvailable($CF_BITMAP) Then Send("{printscreen}") EndIf ClipDrawBitmap() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $GUI_EVENT_RESIZED ClipDrawBitmap() EndSwitch WEnd Func ClipDrawBitmap() Local $WPos, $hBitmap, $hImage, $hGraphics $WPos = WinGetPos($hGUI) _ClipBoard_Open($hGUI) $hBitmap = _ClipBoard_GetDataEx($CF_BITMAP) _ClipBoard_Close() If $hBitmap > 0 Then _GDIPlus_Startup() $hImage = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hBitmap) $hGraphics = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI) _GDIPlus_DrawImagePoints($hGraphics, $hImage, 0, 0, $WPos[2], 0, 0, $WPos[3]) _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage) _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmap) _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphics) _GDIPlus_Shutdown() EndIf EndFunc ;==>ClipDrawBitmap

I don't have time now, I'll look at it in the afternoon

OK I will start clicking away . I assume I would read the INI into an array to speed it up. Comment? use of single INI or multiple INI files? Because the INI is limited to a 64K files size this would likely be more scalable. Comment? GUI title base on INI variable? Think this would be the cleanest Comment? I know the questions may seem basic but before I go off on a coding tangent I wanted to have my ducks in a row.

that worked! hardcoding the json AND replacing the file contents like this... $txt_file = "file.txt" $txt_query = FileRead($txt_file) $txt_query = StringStripWS($txt_query, 8) $txt_query = StringReplace($txt_query, '"', '\"') $iPID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c curl.exe --header "accept:application/json" --data "' & $txt_query & '"', @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD) thank youuuuu!!!!

As an alternative, I remember @KaFu did something interesting using Timers, in this link Adapted to OP's need : #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <WinAPISysWin.au3> MouseMove(200, 200, 0) ; 0 = fastest mouse move ToolTip("See the mouse pointer ?") Sleep(2000) ; just to see where is the mouse pointer on the screen (200, 200) ToolTip("") Local $hTimerProc = DllCallbackRegister('_TimerProc', 'none', 'hwnd;uint;uint_ptr;dword') Local $iTimerID = _WinAPI_SetTimer(0, 0, 10, DllCallbackGetPtr($hTimerProc)) MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "_WinAPI_SetTimer", "Does not block") ; mouse moved automatically over Msgbox _WinAPI_KillTimer(0, $iTimerID) DllCallbackFree($hTimerProc) ;=============================================== Func _TimerProc($hWnd, $iMsg, $iTimerID, $iTime) Local $hActive = WinActive("_WinAPI_SetTimer") If $hActive Then _WinAPI_KillTimer(0, $iTimerID) Local $Wpos = WinGetPos($hActive) MouseMove($Wpos[0] + $Wpos[2] /2, $Wpos[1] + $Wpos[3] /2, 0) EndIf EndFunc ;==>_TimerProc
