jzn2

this example needs to be updated to the latest version @Tomz: Thanks that will work

Thanks ill try this out ... now to find out how to define "stay on top"

will you ever update to the latest autoit version?

sounds like a useful covert script...

I wonder if it works with Vista...

Sweet I will have to take a look at that later jzn2

Is there a way to have a sizeable reshapeable move able program to hide a portion of the screen for the sake of studying??

I like this program! i found it interesting how it types it into any open msn conversation so if you wanted to tell a bunch of ppl the same thing you can open their windows and start this up and there you go. a nice feature to have would be to display the text that was set, in the parent window maybe have the whole function taking place in the parent window... maybe even a toggle button that switched between start and stop so you know which.

The Two OS's i have installed are Windows XP Pro and Windows XP MCE... I heard there really is no way to tell the difference between the two.. and recently i Installed Windows Vista x64 RC1... if you would like i could test what you have so far on Vista... although in the tests it would be nice to have an exit key built in so i dont have to run through the entirety of the more extensive udf's... I also have the ability to install a linux OS Ubuntu dristro x86 and x64.. i was wanting to run it from the live cd of ubuntu or bartPE to detect the installed OS's

Cant you include .inf files? you could have it output the info inside the .dll into a new file...

Is there another way to refer to a specific cd drive without calling the drive letter?

I figure these UDF's would be a great addition to following autoit releases and you have shown alot of great work! I actually have two OS's installed on my PC is there a way to detect the second or perhaps detect the origional via a live cd? or does the operating system have to be running in order to detect it?

cool thanks

were you going to do that wrapper for _computergetmem? i think that would be nice... also perhaps a _computergetvirtualcddrive... also the test _computergetOSs doesnt fit on my screen cuts off at total visible memory size and _computergetsoftware doesnt retrieve all the software alot of the time the variables are blank

could you also retrieve a drive letter or perhaps a list of drive letters?or can an optical drive be called by the drive number? as i do here: CDTray("F:", "close") Edit: Also, I am asuming that Func _DriveGetList() is not dependent upon Func _DriveGetListUSB and visa versa is that correct?

hey where is the Script? i would like to see it... sounds fairly handy for my usb drive!

The _shutdown_test.au3 does not work says line 4 _shutdown(4,"untitled - notpad", "untitled - paint") _shutdown(4,"untitled - notpad", ^ Error

Anyone get the Idea to Save Personal Preferences and Scores on the local machine and have a status viewer? That would Be Great!

Coupled with a Wake on Lan script this would be quite handy to shut down the comp

Could you explain what you are trying to do?

Hey, wouldnt it be great if you added Hotkey support for each button? either user defined or hard coded I aslo agree with floating toolbar maybe something in config that would allow a toggle between docked and floating? I found a Problem with V2_VAl... Once i clicked on the button it auto hid and would not unhide... Maybe you could add a minimise to system tray feature? http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26581 #NoTrayIcon #include <GuiConstants.au3> #include <Constants.au3> Opt("TrayOnEventMode",1) Opt("TrayMenuMode",1) TraySetOnEvent($TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYUP,"SpecialEvent") ;TraySetState(2) ; hide --> not needed GuiCreate("MyGUI", 392, 316,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)) GuiSetState() While 1 $msg = GuiGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE GuiSetState(@SW_HIDE) TraySetState(1) ; show TraySetToolTip ("My app - click here to restore") Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSelect WEnd Func SpecialEvent() GuiSetState(@SW_Show) TraySetState(2) ; hide EndFunc Great work on all of it!

great ive been looking for something like this... prolly wouldnt be to hard to add a gui asking for ip addy each time or maybe sending to multiple ips? also add a sleep on LAN function (shutdown computer)? That would be great! mostly just thinkin out loud...

Here we go This works alot better! maybe i should move this to scripts and scraps section ; Place at the top of your script ; Allows only one instance of this script $g_szVersion = "CD Hotkey B2" If WinExists($g_szVersion) Then Exit ; It's already running AutoItWinSetTitle($g_szVersion) ; Rest of your script goes here Global $Paused HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause") HotKeySet("+{ESC}", "Terminate") HotKeySet("+!d", "ShowMessage") ;Shift-Alt-d HotKeySet("^!1", "AllClose") ;CTRL+ALT+1 HotKeySet("^!2", "AllOpen") ;CTRL+ALT+2 HotKeySet("^!3", "AllTest") ;CTRL+ALT+3 HotKeySet("^!4", "FClose") ;CTRL+ALT+4 ;sleep While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd Func TogglePause() $Paused = NOT $Paused While $Paused sleep(100) ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0) WEnd ToolTip("") EndFunc Func Terminate() Exit 0 EndFunc Func ShowMessage() MsgBox(4096,"","This is a message.") EndFunc Func AllClose() $d = DriveGetDrive("CDROM") ; close all optical drives For $x = 1 to $d[0] CDTray($d[$x],"close") Next EndFunc Func AllOpen() $d = DriveGetDrive("CDROM") ; Open all Optical Drives For $x = 1 to $d[0] CDTray($d[$x],"open") Next EndFunc Func AllTest() $d = DriveGetDrive("CDROM") For $x = 1 to $d[0] ; Open all Optical Drives if DriveStatus($d[$x]) = "NOTREADY" then $test = CDTray($d[$x],"open") EndIf Next For $x = 1 to $d[0] ; close all optical drives if DriveStatus($d[$x]) = "NOTREADY" then $test = CDTray($d[$x],"close") EndIf Next EndFunc Func FClose() CDTray("F:", "open") ; Open the CD tray on drive F: EndFunc

Your right that helped alot! Thanks!

well the password thing is still a bit buggy
