V1.0.0 released! 🎊 Event on toast interaction now works! 🎉

Hello! I'm working on a new GUI builder that I have been making great progress on! A helpful forum member ioa747 answered a question I had which started me on my journey, and now I'd like to present to you an alpha version of the software. As of now only Form and Button works in a rudimentary fashion. To run this, open Guiscape.au3 and go from there! I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions. 🙂 Latest versions will be on Github from now on. https://github.com/matthewrg/Guiscape Guiscape.zip Downloads: 35

Added File path validation to prevent path traversal attacks Parameter safety warnings for autoit.consoleParams to detect potentially dangerous shell metacharacters Workspace symbol performance optimizations with batch processing to prevent UI freezing on large projects Configuration options autoit.workspaceSymbolMaxFiles (default: 500) and autoit.workspaceSymbolBatchSize (default: 10) Configuration option autoit.symbolMaxLines (default: 50000) to control maximum lines processed for symbol information Warning message when files exceed symbol processing limit with actionable instructions Comprehensive unit tests for completion provider with 8 test cases Comprehensive README documentation improvements with installation guide, quick start section, platform support matrix, troubleshooting guide, and reorganized configuration Distribution scripts for packaging the extension to multiple marketplaces: package-all.js for simultaneous packaging to VS Code Marketplace and OpenVSX package-openvsx.js for OpenVSX-specific packaging with publisher name handling Fixed Command injection risk in registry update functionality by replacing exec with execFile for safer argument handling Multiple global output panels opening for AutoIt on startup Memory leak in completion provider where include cache grew indefinitely across document switches Incorrect array comparison logic in completion cache invalidation Cross-document contamination of completion items from include files Changed Simplified ESLint configuration by using globals package and removing redundant rules Workspace symbol cache now uses incremental updates instead of full invalidation on file changes Completion provider now uses per-document Map-based caching with LRU eviction (50 document limit) Include cache automatically cleans up when documents are closed Symbol processing limit increased from hardcoded 10,000 to configurable 50,000 lines by default Removed The unused autoit.YAML-tmLanguage file Rate and View on VS Code Marketplace Star & Submit Issues on GitHub

This example script is a desktop live wallpaper program. It is a combination of MediaPlayerElement - WinRT Xaml Island by @MattyD and Move window behind desktop icons by @Parsix. It basically creates a GUI layer under the desktop icons but above the wallpaper (eg. in a WorkerW window within Program Manager). Features: Configuration file (LiveWallpaper.ini) Plays .mp4 videos and likely many more formats Light on CPU (uses GPU for video processing) Play/Pause video by double-click (can change to single-click in config) Option to Loop video Transparency level (to blend video with your real wallpaper) Start button trigger to play media Important Note: To run this, the XAML Islands require the following value in the AutoIt binary manifest: <maxversiontested Id="10.0.18362.1"/> There are two options. The first is ExternalManifest.au3 which essentially drops an external manifest file that includes that value beside your existing AutoIt binaries (eg. AutoIt3.exe.manifest and AutoIt3_x64.exe.manifest). This will allow you to run LiveWallpaper.au3 in your file manager by double-clicking on the script. However, the downside to this method is that it will not work through VSCode or SciTE and therefore you cannot get any ConsoleWrite info if you need it. The second option is Update Manifest.au3 which patches your actual AutoIt binary to include the required maxversiontested value. It makes a backup of your original AutoIt binary and you have to copy the modified one over your original. This is the better method if you want to extend the LiveWallpaper code, run through VSCode or SciTE and add/get console output. If you intend to compile as a binary, that compiled binary needs the maxversiontested value. You need to set the "win10" compatibility flag with AutoIt3Wrapper (already at top of LiveWallpaper.au3) and you need to be using the absolute latest beta version of AutoIt3Wrapper.au3 because the maxversiontested value has been added to it. To Do (possibilities): Option for volume level Option for playback rate Hotkeys Start on trigger (when logging in, when clicking Start menu, etc.) etc. Live Wallpaper Videos: I have only tested a bunch of .mp4 videos with this, including 4K. I have included bloom.mp4 which is rather low quality, but I wanted something that people can test with and it's small enough for attachment space. But there are many, many live wallpaper web sites out there. Some videos look good on loop (like a fireplace), while others don't. I'm sure lots of other video formats work. But I have only tested .mp4 and that is the format that most video wallpaper sites use. LiveWallpaper.7z

I've done enough editing of image files to know a few things. If you are going to have % of transparency you should have a small input section from 0 - 255 as exacting levels of transparency. Most people cannot tell the difference of 1% to about 5% level of transparency, but some might want the option to have exacting levels for better control. Don't presume that about me. I don't like to lie as much as stretching the truth so far that is snaps back on me like a rubber band that has broke from the stress.

Just a little program I whipped up today. If like me, you connect to the web via LAN, but don't always like your PC to be connected all the time, especially at boot up, then you might find my script handy. Basically I use it to turn my Ethernet connection off. A fairly simple affair, and the state persists after shutdown. BIG THANKS to jguinch for the Network configuration UDF. My script uses and requires the Network.au3 include file from the first post of that topic. My script runs with Admin Rights, as per the first line of the script. Show Adapters.au3 (40 previous downloads) NOTE - On my system, some adapters have a CRLF in the middle of the returned entry. My script changes that, within program, to a backward slash (\) for ease of use etc. As can be noted in the screenshot, the second portion, after the backslash, is the actual adapter name used for ENABLE and DISABLE and getting INFO. To work with the same adapter by default, you can SAVE a selected entry as the one, which can appear selected at startup after first being checked. Enjoy!

After giving it some thoughts, I went with a callback function to modify any aspect of the GIF frame by frame. You need to provide a valid callback function receiving a GDI+ image handle (originating from the GIF) and returning a modified GDI+ handle to fit the size of the GIF control creation. A few tests showed me that the callback function seems to be the fastest approach. Added a basic example showing how to use the callback. New version available

So maybe i just haven't been looking hard enough, but i could not find how to make toast notifications in win8+ from AutoIt. I looked at it on and off, and finally made some progress. Github repository: https://github.com/genius257/au3toast Zip download: https://github.com/genius257/au3toast/archive/refs/tags/1.0.0.zip Enjoy!

Hi @genius257 Your input data reader works great! I added several inputs and buttons for a quick, rough test, and the values entered into the "toast" are returned to the callback and parsed correctly by your function. It appears that a notification toast doesn't allow more than 5 inputs; each selector input can't contain more than 5 options, and buttons can't exceed 5. Text inputs allow about 2,000 characters. But these limitations are due to the inherent features of Microsoft notification toasts, not your code. ... these toasts are funny...

Hi @Gianni, Thanks you, glad to see the interest in the code Yes, the $data variable contains a pointer to a array of NOTIFICATION_USER_INPUT_DATA elements. The length of the array is given via the $count variable. Something like this should do it: $pData = $data For $i = 1 To $count $tData = DllStructCreate('PTR Key;PTR Value;', $pData) $key = _WinAPI_GetString($tData.Key) $value = _WinAPI_GetString($tData.Value) ConsoleWrite(StringFormat('"%s"="%s"\n', $key, $value)) $pData += DllStructGetSize($tData) Next I think I'll update the example with inputs to demonstrate later, and I'll also add a helper function to convert the data array into a Map

So you are a real language ✨Universalist ✨

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone again who helped with this issue. I've completed the part of the project that relates to the menubar. I actually ended up coloring that line in such a way that it gives the GUI some depth and also made the statusbar sizing and style to match it. When I started learning AutoIt a little over a year ago, I never thought that such beautiful GUIs could be made. I was able to make that line semi-transparent along with the rest of the GUI so that it does the blur behind well and also the Windows 11 materials (Mica, Acrylic, etc.) Cheers everyone! 🍷

I am sure he's happy after 5 years!!! 😉

That's a very good point. I shouldn't have used a hardcoded path like that. I like the creative way that you used the @AutoItExe macro to get the AutoIt install directory. Thanks for sharing. This was a really fun example. Thanks for sharing. I didn't expect that a child GUI would work in this type of situation, so that was a neat surprise.

I was so grouchy at the thought of blasting away my Windows partition to reinstall Windows but thankfully I figured it out before I got that far. In Advanced System Properties (SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe) in the Performance settings dialog - Visual Effects tab, there is a checkbox labelled "Animate controls and element inside windows". Apparently that simple little checkbox controls whether or not a WorkerW window is even allowed to be created under Progman. I have always disabled any and all animation effects in Windows for years. And this was one of them. After checking this box, WorkerW is able to be created under Progman and all is good now. All examples work on my machine now. I would have reinstalled Windows and it still would have failed because disabling animation effects is one of the first things that I do after a clean install. 😄

No need to click for see it, just put your mouse on the left side of your screen Why on the left? Because the taskbar is already crowded, on the right side we scroll, and at the top when we use our browser tab by tab, it's not convenient to have a GUI in the way. You can add Shortcut, InternetShortcut, Files, and Folder by drag and drop on any button (special folders not supported) Right click menu on it for delete item See tray menu for options To exit, click on the InfoBar at the bottom of the GUI or by tray menu SlidingToolbar.7z

Several adjustments were made within the UDF. 1. Writing Excel function cells _xlsx_WriteFromArray() can now write Excel functions. For this, the element value in the input array must be a string that starts with `=`. The string itself is then interpreted as an Excel function. Example: =IF(F2>E2,"yes","no") Note: For Excel to interpret this correctly, only the English notation is permitted. If you need to write a string that starts with `=` but should not be interpreted as a function, escape the first `=` by doubling it (`==`). 2. Smallest possible .xlsx output files The .xlsx file generated with _xlsx_WriteFromArray() has been consistently optimized for minimal size. Files produced this way are close to the minimum possible for the format given the data. Sample dataset: [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]] Excel: 8.45 KB _xlsx_WriteFromArray(): 1.23 KB 3. Formatting of date and time If an element value in the input array for _xlsx_WriteFromArray() contains a date or time, the cell in the .xlsx file is formatted accordingly as date, time, or date/time style. The string format for these cells must be as follows: Date: YYYY-MM-DD Time: HH:MM[:SS[.mmmmmm]] Date + Time: YYYY-MM-DD[T ]HH:MM[:SS[.mmmmmm]] Note: Date and Date+Time remain as string values. A pure time, however, is encoded as a number (Excel notation where 24h = 1.0). Bug fixes and style _xlsx_2Array() can now also handle files whose sharedstrings.xml elements have a prefix (= higher compatibility). _xlsx_2Array() now also reads files that skip empty rows (= higher compatibility). Au3Check no longer emits (partly incorrect) warnings when using the UDF.

here is a simple powershell command I use to set an ignore exclusion in Defender for a specific folder Run(@ComSpec & ' /c powershell -Command Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath ' & '"' & @ScriptDir & '"' & ' -Force', @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE) Use this command where ever your compiled script is to be created. By changing the word Add to Remove, it will remove the set exclusion. This script will require Administrative rights to be able to perform its function(s).

Released Peace version 1.6.8.11. It now support VST plugins by controlling and using Equalizer APO's Configuration Editor. The Peace AutoEQ interface now includes OPRA by Roon (collaborators such as Oratory1990). A new import interface has been created for better import. And a theme can be installed directly from within Peace through a new theme installation interface.

User Interface Builder Overview Use this tool to visually design Windows applications with a focus on Metro windows, standard windows, and Tool windows. This is for users who want a faster and simpler development tool. Drag-and-drop GUI creation, code generation, and easy control alignment tools. No more clicking through property sheets to set variable names, sizes, and the control’s text. Please replace "MetroUDF-Required\SSCtrlHover.au3" within the metro UDF files to see more meaningful messages in the console. The following line was inserted into the function. This prevents crashing on syntax and logical errors while Metro buttons are in use. Func _cHvr_Register($idCtrl, $fnHovOff = '', $fnHoverOn = '', $fnClick = '', $fnDblClk = '', $HoverData = 0,$ClickData = 0,$fnRightClick = '') If $BLOCK_HOVER_REGISTRATION Then Return Unfortunately, the following will have to added to your scripts if you already use Metro UDF and you replace "SSCtrlHover.au3". Global $BLOCK_HOVER_REGISTRATION = False #include "MetroGUI_UDF.au3" #include "MetroGUI_UDF_xpk.au3" #include "_GUIDisable.au3" ; For dim effects when msgbox is displayed Features Metro Controls for all window types WYSIWYG real-time preview Generates AutoIt GUI and message loop code Multiple control selection and manipulation Make additional selections with the CTRL key Accelerated control movements with the SHIFT key Change controls position with mouse or arrow keys Double click a control to precisely set its size and text Save/load GUI layouts and Control layouts to files Custom styles/themes and Controls using Metro Snap-to-guide, and toolbar alignment aids Drag down guides from the top and left sides of the Designer window Copy-n-paste between different window types Technical Details .Gui/.Ctrls file is a simple delimited text file Copy-n-paste is a similar file without the window specifications The application is meant to be portable, so it is one file The only Custom UDFs in use is Metro 5.1, and my Metro Expansion pack The script uses Label controls for everything. No GDI was used. Every control handle is saved in an array Maps are used in Metro and in future UDFs containing new controls You need Metro 5.1 UDF Limitations and known issues Resizing the Metro window with the mouse is flaky Changing control and window styles is not implemented Window size cannot be changed precisely Undo functionality might cause problems with code generation No Redo implemented Thank you BB19 and everyone that contributed to Metro UDF.

No worries! This one probably needs a tidy up - but here's a rough snappy-snappy version. If this is useful, I can probably just keep chipping away at it over the weekend if you'd like? - Just proof of concept things like click-to-select, or multi-select with shift & ctrl etc..

Because that can make a Pres out of U and Me ... whatever a Pres is ... maybe some kind of Trump thing. Not only that, but the truth can be stretched so much it becomes unrecognizable ... that's when Oranges can be like Apples and Bananas like Sausages ... so Gastronomy suffers and we all end up with a belly ache. I don't know about you, but I prefer to not have sausages in my Fruit Salad ... or Bananas and Mash.

Your math is always sharp. Thank you so much.

Last week I came across enumicons.au3 in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\Advanced and while testing it, I thought that a small update wouldn't hurt enumicons.au3

New Version 2.1.0.4 Display modified Left click on an icon for save it with the size you want, regardless of the mode (Ordinal/Name) used The file path is indicated as ioa747 wished enumicons.au3

Thank you for your kind words, regarding Date/Time Format, take a look at Free style DateTimeFormat

Gotta say, nice looking and with the new includes, right on time too.

You could have more instances looking for it and report via IPC ( my take on "how" here ) and there are a few in the WiKi that you can try. This way if you run 8 chunks of screen, it'll 8 times faster of whatever technique you use.

Finally! Latest version in the OP. Huge shoutout to Jos because I leaned very heavily on his AutoItGotoDefinition (you did write that I assume?).

Any of this code ( https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/191058-datetime-pick-coloring ) useful ?

Hi @Gianni, Sorry for the late reply. First of all thank you for the nice words . Yes i noticed that, that's why my demo downloads an image instead. I'm not currently sure why it does not work. 🤷‍♂️ I seem to remember some documentation mentioning requirements like maximum response time and file size, but i cannot find that currently. It seems to be the case, when the app is not registered with the system. After adding the registry and registering the COM objects, activationType foreground also works. Again, not sure why, currently. This is a very cool tool for crafting toast UI, thanks Edit: I can see the tool might be available as open source on GitHub, so maybe I'll make an AutoIt version at some point, for fun Ah, thank you

I added some resize code this morning that seems to work well. There are still going to be some differences depending on what DPI scaling the user has set on their system. So I still have to factor DPI into the code at some point. Example with resize:

ByRef parameter cannot have default value. You must to use ByRef something like this $sOut = "" RunCmd("CmdLine", $sOut) ConsoleWrite($sOut & @CRLF) ; changed Func RunCmd($sCmd, ByRef $sOut) $sOut = "changed" EndFunc

Latest update! Check it out!

No big deal, just make it simple : use a single underscore, check the help file (while scripting) to make sure the name with underscore doesn't already exists. And if you don't check the help file, then you'll always got one of these 2 errors, for example with this silly script ! #include <Array.au3> Func _ArrayDisplay($aArray) EndFunc * Au3Check (when saving your script) => error: _ArrayDisplay() already defined. * Then if you run the script => Duplicate function name : _ArrayDisplay() No, the loop While...WEnd is provided so the script doesn't end immediately ! Try to comment out the While...WEnd loop and see what happens : $Form1 will be displayed a couple of ms then the script ends. This While...WEnd loop is an endless loop and you're "stuck" inside it while the script is running (when no event is triggered, for example clicking a button etc...) . Just add a counter inside it to see how it goes : Local $iCount = 0 While 1 $iCount +=1 ConsoleWrite($iCount & @CRLF) Sleep(10) ; prevents hogging all the CPU (+++) WEnd See how the counter constantly increases in the Console ? It shows that you're stuck inside this loop (as ConsoleWrite is constantly called) until you choose to exit the script. What do you expect that could happen between functions ? Nothing. When a function ends (EndFunc) then as showed before, you're stuck in the While...WEnd loop, waiting for another event to occur (user closes a GUI, presses a button etc...) $Form2 is hidden because of this line which immediately follows your "9e" comment : GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form2) You don't have to "exit" a window to hide it, you can simply apply a line of code, anywhere in your script, to hide it : that's the purpose of GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form2) In this script (unfortunately) clicking buttons in Form2 and Form3 have the same effect than clicking the {X] button to close their GUI's . It would be better to add some "real action" that will happen when you click the buttons, instead of simply mimicking a Windows Close when you click the buttons. But you'll certainly do this in your final project. GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form2) has nothing to do with the fact that $Form1 is displayed because GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form2) simply hides $Form2, no more, no less. In this script, $Form1 is never hidden but it may be covered by other windows and we probably would like, when needed, to make $Form1 not only "current" (GUISwitch) but also "active" (on top, with focus) using WinActivate (as correctly stated in the help file, topic GUISwitch) To achieve this, I suggest these modifications in functions _ColRow and _CloseForm : Func _ColRow() Switch @GUI_CtrlId Case $sGUI2Button GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form2) GUICtrlSetState($sCol1Row1, $GUI_ENABLE) Case $sGUI3Button GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form3) GUICtrlSetState($sCol1Row2, $GUI_ENABLE) EndSwitch GUISwitch($Form1) If Not WinActive($Form1) Then WinActivate($Form1) EndFunc ;==>_ColRow Func _CloseForm() Switch @GUI_WinHandle Case $Form1 MsgBox($MB_OK, "Exit Main Form", "Exiting...", 1) Exit Case $Form2 GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form2) GUICtrlSetState($sCol1Row1, $GUI_ENABLE) Case $Form3 GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $Form3) GUICtrlSetState($sCol1Row2, $GUI_ENABLE) EndSwitch GUISwitch($Form1) If Not WinActive($Form1) Then WinActivate($Form1) EndFunc ;==>_CloseForm This will activate $Form1 if it was covered by another window, when you click on buttons or close Form2 / Form3 Of course, if you intentionally minimized $Form1 then it won't have any effect. In this case ($Form1 minimized by the user) then it requires an additional line of code. Hope I answered all your questions, time to rest...

I agree, the title generally should be equal to the information pulled from that first function. Although I have not checked too many fonts to compare. Probably undocumented, not sure. I got that from the _WinAPI_GetFontResourceInfo docs, Example 3.

Sorry I forgot to introduce UDF: Enhanced Hotkey UDF – Non-blocking Hotkey System for AutoIt The built-in HotKeySet function in AutoIt uses system hooks that can sometimes introduce lag or block the main thread. Enhanced Hotkey UDF by Trong operates entirely non-blocking, handling all key detection in your main script loop through a single, explicit call. In just one line, you can integrate the hotkey system: While True _HotkeyCheck() ; ... your code ... WEnd Key Features Non-blocking architecture without Windows hooks or extra threads Multi-press support (1–10 presses) with customizable time window Flexible trigger flags: HOTKEY_FLAG_REPEAT for auto-repeat while holding HOTKEY_FLAG_RELEASE for trigger on key release HOTKEY_FLAG_HOLD for trigger after holding a threshold Debug mode and performance stats (checks, triggers, average triggers per check) Easy management: register, remove, clear all, list registered hotkeys Quick Comparison | Criterion | HotKeySet (AutoIt) | Enhanced Hotkey UDF | |-----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------| | Architecture | System-level hook, blocking | Polling-based, non-blocking | | Impact on main thread | May cause lag | Zero blocking, full control | | Multi-press (double, etc.) | Not supported | Supported (1–10 presses) | | Hold detection | Not supported | Supported with configurable threshold | | Release detection | Not supported | Supported | | Auto-repeat while holding | Not supported | Supported (`HOTKEY_FLAG_REPEAT`) | | Debug and stats | No | Yes | Conclusion If you need a powerful hotkey manager for scripts, games, or real-time applications that avoids blocking your main thread while offering press, release, hold, repeat, and multi-press detection, the Enhanced Hotkey UDF is the tool of choice. Simply call _HotkeyCheck in your loop and let the UDF handle the rest. PS: This article was analyzed and created by AI (Copilot).

This is how to do it with the built-in UDF functions: #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <Misc.au3> Local $stPoint=DllStructCreate($tagPOINT),$aPos,$hControl,$hWin,$aLastPos[2]=[-1,-1],$sLastStr='',$sStr While Not _IsPressed('1B') $aPos=MouseGetPos() If $aPos[0]<>$aLastPos[0] Or $aPos[1]<>$aLastPos[1] Then DllStructSetData($stPoint,1,$aPos[0]) DllStructSetData($stPoint,2,$aPos[1]) $hControl=_WinAPI_WindowFromPoint($stPoint) $hWin=_WinAPI_GetAncestor($hControl,2) $sStr='Window at '&$aPos[0]&','&$aPos[1]&': "'&WinGetTitle($hWin)&'"' If $sLastStr<>$sStr Then ToolTip($sStr,0,@DesktopHeight-20) $sLastStr=$sStr EndIf $aLastPos=$aPos EndIf Sleep(15) WEnd On a side note - I'd just like to add that _WinAPI_WindowFromPoint() was poorly thought out - it should take x,y coordinates instead of a structure.
