Hi all - This is an offshoot of the WinRT Project. I'm posting my progress here while I'm bumbling around with WinUI3 - just so the main project doesn't get too cluttered. If I get things working I'll merge the two projects back together. That's the plan anyway! ATM all I have is a blank Window (thrilling I know!), but if you wish to try it out you'll need to: download and extract the example (obviously!) WindowTest.zip Go here and download the latest Redistributable package of the Windows App SDK. Currently this is 1.7.3 (look in the table for the link.). Once you've extracted that, go to the MSIX > win10-x64 folder It seems the x86 libraries don't work at the moment. (thanks for testing Gianni) . So ensure you're running Autiot_x64 on the autoit side! (#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=Y directive in script) Extract the contents of Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.7.msix. (7-Zip works fine) I also installed the msix - This is not necessary for now (thanks again Gianni). At some point we'll probably reference our dlls from the installed runtime location. Grab all the .dll files and put then in the same folder as "WindowTest.au3" If you plan to make use of the Class Explorer script, grab all the .winmd files and put them in the same folder as "ClassExplorer v2.3.1.au3" I also found AppxManifest.xml is handy for mapping objects to physical dll files. Cheers, Matt

I've created a label based solution for a simple status bar. May be it's interesting 4u. https://github.com/BugFix/AutoIt-Scripts/blob/main/Statusbar/statusbar_small.md#gallery

Without this instruction, they didn't react, as you indicated. Hope it will work on your side, fingers crossed

This did it. This solved my problem. It's funny, too, because _WinAPI_SetParent() was problematic at one point causing issues by destroying the theming. And now here comes _WinAPI_SetParent() to save the day by restoring the lovely theming. It blows my mind! Thank you so much for your help and for your time with this. I appreciate it, as always. You've saved me a few times now already. Now I can move on to the not-so-fun DPI awareness control sizing stuff.

...so, yes. It should work everywhere. When he claimed that something changed drastically ( not sure what ) I jumped into getting the latest to test and not make a fool of my self calling Bill to give him a piece of my mind !. Fortunately, I didn't have to 😇

Just as a shot in the dark: I honestly do not know, how the Excel UDF interacts with Exel.exe, but, maybe: For a complete different task with Outlook (powershell) I ran into the issue, that Outlook is opening a "COM-Server", and with that one the PS-Commands interact. Sometimes it did work, next day it didn't. The constraint finally was, that outlook.exe can open such a COM-Server exactly one time within a Windows PC / VM. I used Fast User Switching (FUS), and when I had two logins to this test-PC, and under the login context of "User-A" there was outlook running, then after FUS to user-B the first instance of outlook.exe was not able to create a COM-Server within this user context again, because this is a "one-COM-server-per-PC" thing, not "one-per-user-context". Switching back to user-A, terminate Outlook.exe there, switching again to User-B, everything was working perfectly.

... ~3 years later, added an [unofficial] update for ArrayDisplayInternals.au3 for both v3.3.16.1 and v3.3.17.1 beta.

@Ontosy, this is Sparta, I mean, this is AutoIt. If you rather use languages that have those, use those 🤔

I noticed that a couple of days ago but did not report, after we saw the issue in _GUICtrlStatusBar_EmbedControl which did not let you embed controls in your script, because of _WinAPI_SetParent() which change the parent of the embedded controls, then their background colors were not the ones you wanted. I'm sure other examples in the help file would need the same fix, e.g. to take care of the messages WM_SIZE / WM_MOVE when the GUI is resized, minimized etc... and calculate the position of these controls during the registered messages functions.

By default, embedding other controls in my status bar is not provided. But some thoughts on this: The function "_StatusbarCreate" returns an array that contains, among other things, the IDs of all parts. The ID can be used to query the part's rectangle. One option would be to hide the original label and overlay it with another control at the determined position. Some optical corrections may still be necessary to achieve a uniform appearance. That is the solution I would choose. Good luck with your attempts.

The idea is to be able to share information in the forum when a struct data needs to be shared among us. As an example, lets say that we wanna share what comes out of $tagOSVERSIONINFOEX. We could just run: #include <WinAPIMisc.au3> #include <WinAPIDiag.au3> #include <Debug.au3> #include <Sqlite.au3> Exit GetOs() Func GetOs() Local $tOSVERSIONINFOEX = DllStructCreate($tagOSVERSIONINFOEX) DllStructSetData($tOSVERSIONINFOEX, 1, DllStructGetSize($tOSVERSIONINFOEX)) Local $aCall = DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'bool', 'GetVersionExW', 'struct*', $tOSVERSIONINFOEX) If @error Or Not $aCall[0] Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0) Local $aArray = _WinAPI_DisplayStruct_mod($tOSVERSIONINFOEX, $tagOSVERSIONINFOEX, '', 0, 0, 0, True, 0, 1) Local $sText = _SQLite_Display2DResult($aArray, 0, True) ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & $sText & @CRLF & @CRLF) ; for those outside the editor Local $iW = 600, $iH = 300, $hGui = GUICreate(@ScriptName, $iW, $iH) GUISetFont(10, 400, 0, "Terminal") Local $idEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit($sText, 0, 0, $iW, $iH) GUISetState() While GUIGetMsg() <> -3 WEnd GUIDelete($hGui) EndFunc ;==>GetOs ... ... and share the text that comes out: - - 0x0125DC18 <struct> 0 - 1 OSVersionInfoSize 0 DWORD 4 284 2 MajorVersion 4 DWORD 4 10 3 MinorVersion 8 DWORD 4 0 4 BuildNumber 12 DWORD 4 22631 5 PlatformId 16 DWORD 4 2 6 CSDVersion 20 WCHAR[128] 256 7 ServicePackMajor 276 USHORT 2 0 8 ServicePackMinor 278 USHORT 2 0 9 SuiteMask 280 USHORT 2 256 10 ProductType 282 BYTE 1 1 11 Reserved 283 BYTE 1 - - - 0x0125DD34 <endstruct> 284 - So the mod. I made to _WinAPI_DisplayStruct() is here ( with the complete running example from above ) This way is easier to share such. I know this is a lazy way to do it but, is a fast mod. and does what is needed to get the data as text.

Thanks @pixelsearch. Indeed I double checked and it seems this constant was missing from the list. I have fixed it now.

Excellent find. Fixed

..can't make it go behind the icons Win11 24H2

For the record, these 2 lines would be a good start in OP's script, placed in the main loop (tested) Case $TRAY_EVENT_MOUSEOVER If WinGetTitle("[active]") <> "AutoIt v3" Then $Title = WinGetTitle("[active]") It is strange that the help file doesn't mention the event $TRAY_EVENT_MOUSEOVER in the topic TrayGetMsg when it is mentioned in the topic TraySetOnEvent That's a big difference with the events listed the help file, topic GUIGetMsg and GUISetOnEvent : the same events are listed in these 2 topics.

I was trying out the sending Alt Tab, and getting nowhere, fast. GetWinTitle() always returned an empty string, and GetWinProcName() always returned ‘explorer.exe’. Your second example works just great! Though way over my head, far too advanced for my newbie skills. But hey it works, so you have saved me hours if not days. Thanks yet again argumentum!

Ok. Good to know. Am sure I'll face those WTFs and thanks to you now know how to go about it. I have my eyes on @ioa747's AI stuff because I'd like to run AI locally. It'd suck if in the middle of depending on an AI service I learn that: "you owe me a zillion dollars" or "to continue insert more coins" or any of what a service may come up with.

Thanks @argumentum. The VSCode/AutoIt.Damien isn't working exactly right for me... It runs just fine and the errors don't show up in scite. There's nothing wrong, but it's detecting errors. Edit: Relaunching the project folder fixes it. 😕

🤣

Yes its working for chrome. thanks

I think they're changing the default behavior. But they also provide override switches here: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/6515318/11/chrome/common/chrome_switches.cc EDIT: btw. the --do-not-de-elevate switch was provide in MsEdge in 2019 and still is there

..I would not talk to them. Would be useless. They do what they do and we, ...we find a way around ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My most awesome "_WinAPI_SetWindowTheme_unr()" is "_WinAPI_SetWindowTheme()" without the "child proofing", the rest is the standard WinAPI. If on 26100 .4652 things don't work, .. tell M$ ? The simple approach I gave you in the beginning was "fake it" and that's, what is in my vast ( or not ) knowledge of GUIs 🤯

Hi @MattyD ... I didn't install it, and "WindowTest.au3" works anyway ... ... I also tried this stuff but it doesn't work ... I get this --> !>01:19:22 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:-1073741819 Thanks for all this work! 👍

I'd like a VM that I can just copy from the host PC to another PC and keep running it. The defaults are paths are that the "Virtual Hard Disks" goes somewhere and the setting elsewhere. And I find myself exporting the newly created VM to a set folder, deleting the VM to then import the VM just to have it all in one place. If I want to move the VM from the current hardware to another hardware, all I have to do ( via this way ) is to copy the folder where the exported ( and registered in place ) is at to the other PC. Easy-peasy Do I need help ?, nope. But I coded a "do it for me" so is easier/faster to get done, that to me is not an example script, not even in quality of code, but it gets the job done. The code is down in the next post, so that I can mark it as solved

Each of these users have their unique stories with their love for AutoIt ( and am not exaggerating when I say "their love" for AutoIt ). Just can't put them all in the same pot. There is also the forum life and the ungratefulness and aggravation they go though, that understandingly push them away from the forum. So because they don't devote attention to the forum, don't mean that they never used AutoIt again. It just mean that they don't frequent the forum.

I can run AutoIt without any dependencies anywhere. It just runs. Nimble too. A GUI with AutoIt is easy. If I had to do all the things I do in C++ it'd be slower and unforgiving for me. Python is here to stay, and I don't like Python. I'll have to go through the advise I gave you myself for all the AI stuff that is floating around and my brain is never been all that great to start with, and adding aging to the pot don't make it easier either. Yet the advise is the same. I feel you. I really do. But "it is what it is", for you, me, or anyone. I guess you'd do it in ASM and use the FASM. I'd use SQLite and call it a day. Not that I know SQL all that much, but am sure that whatever you're gonna use that big array for, could be done with SQLite, I think. Same here.

Did I ever mention that I hate making GUIs? 😁 But anyway, we are getting somewhere now... All of the Save and Delete rule functions are working now. I still have to deal with some DPI stuff closer to the completion of this. Right now I am working on the custom owner drawn statusbar with previous help from @pixelsearch. In addition, and to keep the GUI smaller and compact and tidy, I figured out how to add a fully functional (and transparent) combobox to the statusbar. This combobox (right now titled 'Startup Task') allows the user to easily install or uninstall the scheduled task and maybe some other task-related options if needed. The other status bar parts are not done yet but will likely have one for whether or not the task is running as Admin or not. Another part likely to show if the task is even running. I may not need all 4 parts yet but we'll see how it goes, one step at a time. The tricky part? Right now I have the GUI as a separate script file and therefore a separate binary from the main DwmColorBlurMica script. I did this to make it easier and less complex for me to create the GUI in the first place. I would like to merge the two scripts somehow soon. I would like it all in one binary. Running it with no command line args would start the GUI. Running with something like "DwmColorBlurMica -runengine" to run the coloring engine as a separate process. The reason is because I don't want to GUI process to slow down or interfere with the main coloring engine process because it needs the absolutely most priority for performance reasons. But I am not 100% sure that I will be capable of merging these two scripts now. I'll have to see once I finish the GUI. EDIT: I still have to fix the alignment of the Advanced group section and also add some tooltips in various areas.

Simply put, I want to move the mouse around desktop and windows that are open on it, and automate some tasks within those windows. Basic AutoIt/AHK-type stuff. Been doing it with LGS/Lua for years. Since latest Ninja update what previously worked no longer works. My guess is something to do with Ninja windows - it works in those using wpf (charts) and not in Control Center and DOMs (not wpf). Can send the mouse to them, but becomes 'stranded' once inside. Other functions still work (e.g. Windows shortcuts Ctrl+P etc,) just not mousemove once inside Annoying is a gross understatement

AutoIt is great but, there are things that AutoIt was never meant for. Like a fast ..anything. @jugador, do go and learn something else. That does not mean that you'll never code scripts again. It'll mean that you'll have more tools at your disposal

Something like this maybe?: $bValueSIZE = StringRegExpReplace($sValue, '(?m).*?exe\s*(\d+).*$', "$1")

Thank you so much. I forgot to close the group. That solved the issue for me.

Same here Yes please, if you're allowed, then the 3rd script would be a better choice than the 1st one. Just try the change from script 1 to script 3 and if it doesn't work, maybe a Mod could help, thanks for that. By the way, at least 2 things will (or should) be changed in script 3 : 1) I'm gonna comment out very soon all 4 lines concerning $g_hbrush (better comment out than delete in this case) . These 4 lines are : ; Global $g_hBrush ; no need, as _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetBkColor() placed after _WinAPI_SetWindowTheme() does the job correctly ; $g_hBrush = _WinAPI_CreateSolidBrush($g_iBkColor) ; _WinAPI_DeleteObject($g_hBrush) ; _WinAPI_FillRect($hDC, DllStructGetPtr($tRect), $g_hBrush) ; backgound color Maybe you did notice that these 4 lines are not found in the script above ("Merging 2 WM_DRAWITEM functions to 1 - Forum .au3") and the display is still correct, as you kindly indicated in your last post. So why should we use a useless brush when it comes to painting the background of a status bar ? [ @argumentum answer could be : "because we want a different back color for each part of a multi part status bar" Honestly I like argumentum, he's always in a good mood and funny, no matter what his avatar shows ] 2) I'm not forgetting this, one of these days for sure Edit: both points 1) and 2) have been fixed in script 3

Hi! I studied stereograms (also known as Magic Eye pictures) back in GCSE art at high school. I always thought it'd be cool to write a program to render them - the theory is pretty straight forward - but because computers were pants back then (1995 - 1996), and I couldn't program at all, it was a non-starter. So tryin to teach myself multi-dimensional array use (I've been putting it off waaay too long), I've put together a script to create my own stereograms!!! Have fun!!! #include <GUIConstants.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Opt("PixelCoordMode",2) ;************************************************************************************** ;GUI ;************************************************************************************** $GUI = GUICreate("", 819, 578, 195, 135) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE,"close") ;************************************************************************************** ; User ;************************************************************************************** ;----- Graphic control ----- $Image = "image.bmp" ; should be 800x500 black + white only. $Picture = GUICtrlCreatePic($Image,9,9,800,500) $Graphic = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(8, 8, 802, 502) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xFFFFFF) GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0x000000) ;----- buttons/input ----- GUICtrlCreateButton("GO", 190,544,170,25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"_Create_Stereogram") GUICtrlSetFont(-1,15) GUICtrlCreateButton("Load Picture",8,544,170,25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"Load_Pic") GUICtrlCreateLabel("Depth of field = ",8,523) $TotalDepthInput = GUICtrlCreateInput(20,90,520,30,20) $TypeCheckBox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Use converge method",200,520,200,20) ;----- progress----- $Progress = GUICtrlCreateProgress(410,544,390,25) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ;###################################################################################### ; LOOP ;###################################################################################### While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd ;###################################################################################### ; END LOOP ;###################################################################################### Func Load_Pic() ;************************************************************************************** ; Load new picture ;************************************************************************************** ;----- renew graphic ----- GUICtrlDelete($graphic) $Graphic = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(8, 8, 802, 502) ;----- renew pic ----- $Image = FileOpenDialog("",".","Images (*.bmp;*.jpeg;*.jpg;*.gif)") If @error = 1 Then Return GUICtrlDelete($Picture) $Picture = GUICtrlCreatePic($Image,9,9,800,500) EndFunc Func _Create_Stereogram() ;************************************************************************************** ; Create Stereogram Map ;************************************************************************************** GUICtrlSetData($Progress,10) ;----- define noise block ----- Dim $aNoisePattern[801][501] For $x = 1 to 100 For $y = 1 to 500 $Col = 0xFFFFFF If Random(0,1,1) = 1 Then $Col = 0x000000 $aNoisePattern[$x][$y] = $Col Next Next For $Copy = 1 to 7 For $x = 1 to 100 For $y = 1 to 500 $aNoisePattern[$x + ($Copy * 100)][$y] = $aNoisePattern[$x][$y] Next Next Next GUICtrlSetData($Progress,20) ;----- Make profile ----- ; This creates a profile used to off-set the NoisePattern Dim $aProfilePattern[801][501] For $x = 1 to 800 For $y = 1 to 500 $aProfilePattern[$x][$y] = PixelGetColor($x + 9,$y + 9,$GUI) Next Next GUICtrlSetData($Progress,30) ;----- edit noise pattern ----- ; Decide on depth for each pixel (scale 1 to $TotalDepth) $TotalDepth = GUICtrlRead($TotalDepthInput) For $x = 1 to 800 For $y = 1 To 500 $cCol = BitAND($aProfilePattern[$x][$y],255) $aProfilePattern[$x][$y] = (($TotalDepth/255) * $cCol) if GUICtrlRead($TypeCheckBox) = 1 Then $aProfilePattern[$x][$y] = $TotalDepth - $aProfilePattern[$x][$y] Next Next ;----- Apply depth as off-set ----- $CriticalWidth = 100 For $x = $TotalDepth to 800 For $y = 1 to 500 $Offset = ($x - $aProfilePattern[$x][$y]) Do $aNoisePattern[$Offset][$y] = $aNoisePattern[$x][$y] $Offset += $CriticalWidth Until $Offset >= 800 Next Next GUICtrlSetData($Progress,40) ;----- draw edited noise blocks ----- For $x = 1 to 800 For $y = 1 to 500 GUICtrlSetGraphic($Graphic,$GUI_GR_COLOR,$aNoisePattern[$x][$y]) GUICtrlSetGraphic($graphic,$GUI_GR_PIXEL,$x,$y) Next GUICtrlSetData($Progress,40 + (($x/800) * 60)) Next GUICtrlSetData($Progress,100) ;----- Show stereogram ----- GUICtrlDelete($Picture) EndFunc Func close() ;************************************************************************************** ; Bye bye!! ;************************************************************************************** Exit EndFunc It only supports black + white images at the mo (must be in scriptdir), but I might add support for proper 3d grey-scale images soon. Feedback / criticism welcome!!! Attached is an example image to get you started. - "AutoIT Rocks" - Donut [EDIT] - Added support for 3d "Depth Map" images. - Added loading new pics without re-start - Added option to use cross-eyed "converge" mode, rather than "diverge" - Added option to change depth of field (try values up to 100 ish) Note - you can find depth map images on google. Go to google images and search for "Depth Map": http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&am...mages&gbv=2 IMPORTANT::: After pressing the "GO!" button, do not open any windows over the GUI!!! The script uses PixelGetColor to interogate your depth map.
