@ AZJIO Just as a matter of interest you may like to look at these: SequoiaView http://w3.win.tue.nl/en/research/research_computer_science/visualization/sequoiaview/about_treemaps/ Disk Space Fan http://www.diskspacefan.com/ br. DeMo.

@ AZJIO Thank you for taking the time and effort to convert you script to english and also for posting it in an archive I have downloaded it and it reads and works fine. br. DeMo.

@ minx, Hi, I was amazed when I came across your posting. I didn't know that AutoIt was capable of doing this sort of thing at all. It seemed like it may be the answer to what I have been looking for for some time now. I downloaded it and played about with it and then I realised "Whoa! I am like a caveman playing about with a smartphone, I can see what it is doing but am unable to comprehend how it does what it does." But picking my way through it I tried to see if it would do as I would like it to and it wouldn't (or more probably, I stuffed up and cannot get it to do what I want!) Perhaps you could tell me if the following is possible? * To have the bezier curve change colour depending upon which direction the link goes in. i.e. in your example clicking on 'Render Framework' node lights up green to 3 nodes (SunX, AmbientLight &SunRed) going 'down' from 'Init' but if I click on any of the 3 nodes they go down further (green) and while I would still like to show those further 'down' links as green etc I would also like to show the 'upward' (back) links as say red or what ever. My Very Limited understanding of the way it behaved when I tinkered with it suggests that it can only display one-way links. I would need it to be able to display 3 types of links (3 colours) 1 for 'Up' links, 2 for 'Down' links & 3 for (Sideways/Parallel) links to a node that has an equivalent weight or value as the node being clicked on. e.g. If it was for instance to display a family tree like the following: [Mam]----[son1]----[Grandson] | | | [son2] [Dad] Then Clicking on: Mam should link blue to Dad, green to Son1 & Son2 Dad should link blue to Mam, green to Son1 & Son2 Son1 should link green to Grandson, Red back to Mam & Dad, then blue to Son2 (My usage will Not be for family trees but it seemed the simplest example of what linking I would like to perform.) Hopefully I have explained it clearly enough. * If the above is possible, how difficult would it be to create a UDF that could be called with the details and it would then display the linkages and return the ID of the node clicked on? Say you had the above data in an array: ID txt Up Same Dwn +----+------+-------+-----------+---------+ | 0 | Mam| | 1 | 2, 3 | +----+------+-------+-----------+---------+ | 1 | Dad | | 0 | 2, 3 | +----+------+-------+-----------+---------+ | 2 |Son1| 0, 1 | 3 | 4 | +----+------+-------+-----------+---------+ | 3 |Son2| 0, 1 | 2 | | +----+------+-------+-----------+---------+ | 4 |Gson| 2 | | | +----+------+-------+-----------+---------+ Then calling the UDF with array ID = 2 would read the array row 2 and populate the node freamework with the title 'Son1' and the other nodes 0, 1, 3, & 4. and colour the link apporpriately. Thank You for the script and for letting me know if the above is possible. br. DeMo.

@AZJIO Hi, I like this idea, it would be great if you could fully emulate the 'scanner' I unfortunately have a problem when I copy and paste your scripts. Everything is in Russian (as I can see from the code boxes here) but when I paste it into SciTE (v3.4.4) all string contents are appearing as '?' (question marks.) (I am running the latest AutoIt and beta, under W7 32, English UK) One other thing, the three code boxes, what filenames are their contents meant to be saved under? Would it be possible for you to upload them in a RAR or Zip, maybe that would get around the problem. Thank You, keep up the good work. br DeMo.

@GraaF1337 You have not been explicit enough in describing what you actually want to acheive, so people have to try and second guess what you asking them to help you with! BrewManNH has a link to in his signature to this, How to ask questions the smart way, you may find it helpful. In the meantime, have you tried to download an 'outline' font, install it and then set the control to that font? Here is a link for a site that supplies FREE fonts, I have linked to the 'outline' fonts section. Good Luck. DeMo.

@guinness Just a note to report that when I downloaded the .ZIP file, WinRAR reported that the archive was corrupt and 7zip tells me that the files in the zip have unknown compression ? I assumed it was Avast screwing up the zip thinking it was malware, so I temporarily switched it off and DL again, still same errors. I then ran "Repair Archive in WinRAR and it rebuilt the zip file which then no longer gave any errors. I don't know if anyone else has had the same experience, may I suggest using an MD5 hash generator on the files to be DL so that users can compare the original MD5's with their DL.[that way if there are 3 or 33 files in the zip, the end-user can checksum them and know thay are unchanged.form your originals.] (I use Checksum by Corz and find it excellent, but there are many available.) Good Luck, DeMo.

@guinness Thanks for sharing. Just one small glitch! You have updated the script in the post but have left the script unchanged in the .ZIP file, plus Example1 updated in the post is different than the one in the zip file (just by the difference of removal of a backslash) This may cause confusion for people like me who download the .ZIP files thinking that it will have all updates/changes in one place. Good Luck, DeMo.

Just as a matter of interest, there is a registry hack that will turn off the "Shortcut to" on desktop shortcuts. You can read about it here http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/remove-shortcut-text-from-new-shortcuts-in-vista/ Good Luck. DeMo.

@guinness I have always stood in amazement at the prodigious amount of your coding output and it's quality, and while I could never figure out how you achieved this I could but scratch my head in wonder... Until now, that is... Your Secret is out, in fact it is obvious once one comes to think of it! There just isn;t enough time in a day or a year for that matter to produce the output you produce, but you have had a secret weapon, you somehow managed to get an extra month per year to do all that coding? PROOF! Follow this link and see the date! the extra month is evident, us mere mortals could never compete with a timelord! http://softwarespot.wordpress.com/misc/whats-new/ Thank you for all your work shared and a Happy Christmas & Prosperous New Year to you and all here on the forums. Regards, DeMo.

"Sound Good?", Indeed, it sounds just the ticket. Thank you. DeMo.

Thank you, had a look, then onto GaryC's, I wasn't aware that there were other versions of arraydisplay, kinda gets confusing! don't it

@dickjones007 Apologies for cutting in on your thread like this and if there is somewhere else I should have posted it, please excuse my ignorance. @Melba23 I have a suggestion for a minor but possibly helpful change to arraydisplay: For as long as I can remember it has been a slight nuisance that whenever the arraydisplay window pops up its height is grand But it's width is; well, way too narrow! I always find that I have to drag the window width out to make it more viewable, usually to about 3 X its starting width, I know I could maximise it, but I don't really like it that big either, so it would be great if it started off at 3 - 4 times its current width. So now that I spotted you are wanting suggestions, I thought now's the time to go for it. Apart from just the window width being wider, would it be possible that the column widths be also wider in proportion to the size of the arraydisplay window? i.e. say you had 3 columns with varying lenghts of data per column, then let those column widths fill the new window size in proportion to the length of the contents of the column (obviously capped in width so as not to take up all the space if a column content was very long.) Thank you for all the great work you are doing and I hope this suggestion is of use to many Autoit users. Regards, DeMo.

Hello UEZ, WOW! you fix things and add new bits quicker that I can even get around to downloading, checking and replying... It works fine now, thanks. I have just had a mad idea (Not a feature request or anything, just a mad idea.) what if you added three buttons (Start/Pause/Stop) to the clock (like you find on a stopwatch) and when you press them the program records the start and stop times thus giving the clock the ability to be a programmers/Technicians log of time spent on tasks. i.e. when you click Start it asks you the name of the project you are working on and when you press Pause it logs that time and that way you can take breaks from the task and continue later by UnPausing it and then when finished pressing the Stop button logs the total time spent on the task, that way you can keep track of time spent on tasks for billing purposes etc. Again, thanks for sharing. Regards, DeMo.

Hello UEZ, I see no-one has reported the following (minor) issues... So here goes: A. When the clock is not set TopMost and it goes behind another window, the tooltips will still appear at their appointed positions as if the clock was still upermost? These tooltips interfere with any mouse clicks that need to be performed at those positions. B. As the clock does not come into view with the Alt-Tab combination, the only way to get it topmost again appears to be from the SysTray, but the only options are to 'Reset The Window Position' or 'Exit', neither of which I want to do, instead I just want to easily be able to see the clock again! (Running on W7 Pro x86.) Regards, DeMo.

Hi UEZ, I am running it successfully on an Asus EEE laptop with AMD BIOS (W7 x86) and have not had any problems. If I remember correctly, my desktop PC is also AMD BIOS and has no problems either. May I make bold as to suggest a couple of enhancements? A. Have the clock start up with Windows. B. Have it so that when you right-click on the memory used indicator that the program will flush the memory. Excellent program, thanks for sharing. Regards, DeMo.

Hello, I had earlier put this piece of code together for you but before I could post it something else came up and took my attention away and in the meantime others have provided you with the answer. But rather than bin it here is my 2c worth ;-) #include <array.au3> $sInpVar = "" $sOutPutStr = "" $i=0 $sInpVar = "String sort; Chr by Chr" ;This variable should be set to the string you want to sort. ;$sInpVar = "azay" ;This variable should be set to the string you want to sort (yous in this case). $aOutPutVar = StringSplit($sInpVar, "") ;This line creates an array to store your input string with one character per element. (See the helpfie for further details.) _ArrayDisplay($aOutPutVar, "Before Sorting") ;Show the array as it stands before any further processing. _ArraySort($aOutPutVar,0,1) ;Sort the array (Ascending Order) starting at array element 1. _ArrayDisplay($aOutPutVar, "After Sorting") ;Show the array as it stands after sorting. for $i=1 to $aOutPutVar[0] ;To use the data outside of the array you need $sOutPutStr &=$aOutPutVar[$i] ;to rebuild it, i.e. piece it back together next ;one character ata time. MsgBox(64, " F.Y.I. ", "The actual variable in this script that is of use outside of " & @LF & "_arraydisplay is $sOutPutStr" & @LF & @LF & "which in this case contains "& @LF & "the rebuilt sorted string = " & $sOutPutStr ) Regards, DeMo.

@rux 2 Security issues! 1. SUPERAnti-Spyware detected TROJANS in both your games: Details: Detected Item Description and Information Listed below is basic information about the detected application/process. This application may not be safe to have on your system. Summary : Trojan.Agent/Gen-Bifrose.Process Company : Unknown Description : Trojan that may log user information and possibly block access to certain security related sites. Threat Level (1-10) : 5 2.

Apologies if these are false positives. DeMo.

@Buckmaster Here is my suggestion for a name for the app: BAGET Build AutoIt GUI's, Easily, Timely. Based upon the definition: A gem, esp. a diamond, cut in a long rectangular shape: "a baguette diamond". (See the Definition at this site.) Because it is a Gem of a program. Thank you for sharing, great work. DeMo.

Hi, It has been a very long time since I used Access and also what I have to suggest may not suit what you are trying to achieve. I am making assumptions here, but if you are creating bespoke reports using AutoIt from the mdb then perhaps you can also create a new mdb on the fly from AI and use the linked to viewer (which is a free standalone/portable app which can also Print). Or you could instead create a new section in your existing mdb to take the data you have just acquired and using AI inject that info into that section then call the viewer and print it out from there. The viewer could be called as a hidden window and the printout called invisibly from within AI so your users do not even have to have any interaction with that app. I hope this has been of some use to you. Regards, DeMo. MDB Viewer Plus

@skellysoul Thank you for raising this subject it's been interesting and informative seeing everyones approach to the task. @MrCreatoR My favourite was your solution, in fact I think it is so good that it should be placed into the Snippets section. EDIT: (To clarify which one, ) Thanks @all Regards, DeMo.

Hi, I have not read all the posts here, but I thought that you may be interested to hear the opinions on SMART by one of the industry's hard drive experts, the creator of Spinrite (a hard drive recovery program) Mr. Steve Gibson. There are Lots of goodies on his site like Shields Up and the weekly podcasts covering every security issue you might have etc. GRC Homepage The following is an excerpt from a podcast (#81) by Steve Gibson of GRC.com and Leo Laporte: At the GRC site there are free copies of all the podcasts and also txt and pdf versions too. Podcast #81: Hard Drive Unreliability I hope this has been useful. Regards, DeMo.

Hi, I have a 64 bit proc but run Win7 home premium 32. so its unlikely that is the answer, but I am stumped on it. There have been other strange things happening e.g. inexplicably slow, yet memory, CPU etc is not overtaxed, Checking with many anti-virus, anti malware has not shown any problems... Other things like sometimes Not being able to create desktop shortcuts or one that are there refusing to work, or last week I was deleting approx 40,000 excel files (avg file size 35k) it was taking forever, so I just left it to get on with it to see how long it would take! it took 19 hours. I think I remember the first IBM PC I worked on in the 1980's was faster than that. lol. There have been other things too numerous to mention that I could not find a satisfctory reason for, so I have resigned to having to zap and reinstall, my only concern was in case it was some new variant rootkit etc that was not being detected. Of course it could simply just be Windows having a meltdown, they have been known to do stuff like that... Roll on the time when I get the chance to sort my shi* and zap everything & start fresh. Regards, DeMo.

Something really weird is happening here, I had downloaded the latest stable version (v.3.3.8.1)when it became available and also had D/L v.3.3.9.4.Beta and installed it too. Now, when I went to double check what ver for you, guess what? it appears that I'm running v.3.3.6.1 and there is no sign of any Beta version on my PC. Now I know some strange things have been happening with my PC lately, in fact I was planning on doing a complete clean O/S install in the next week or so to start fresh, but AutoIt reverting and the beta disappearing, beats hands down, all the other weird things that have been happening. Please accept my apologies for having wasted your time, I am surprised that I am running v.3.3.6.1, it should have been up to date! I will be updating it in a short while and all should be well. Regards, DeMo.

Just reporting a missing example script. It is in the online version but not the local help file. Help File Under Function Reference Ptr - example script box.is empty. Regards, DeMo.

You know what, upon looking at it again and relating to your comment, it does seem Java'ey, still if drawn professionally with colour etc, with the fire in the cauldron and the stew etc it would look a lot less like a cuppa! Actually, when I first conceived of the idea I had drawn an A very simnilar to the above but without the 'fire' in the window and instead of a stew and ladle it had a large gemstone somewhat in the shape of a crystal ball, possibly in either a red or green colour. (All this is in my minds eye in a realistic 3D kinda way) after I had drawn it with my far less than artistic abilities it looked crap, so I didn;t even bother scanning it, maybe I should have for variance sake ?) . . . I'm back, after a 15-20 min break mid post, (I went web searching for a graphic crystal gem/ball that might illustrate my idea) and I found the following which has me now thinking, what if instead of a coloured crystal gem/ball, the 'A' had a clear ball like the pic but with a printout of an AU3 script in it and the AI ver. No. also in the ball similar to the way the graph line is ? Link to a picture of a crystal ball. http://www.fotosearch.com/CSP369/k3691232/ Thank you for the positive comment. Regards, DeMo.
