I had hoped to release the latest version by the end of this weekend. However, I'm running into some issues with GDI and transparency on the new skin. I might forego the options of reskinning with GDI altogether as it seems to add more load to the program and still has issues with a lot of the layering.

This is a very good script - I like it a lot. I could see at least 3 uses for it in my gui app. I'll play around with it and test out some scenarios. Thanks mate.

I'm working on retooling the interface for the next version and hopefully will have it finished by this weekend sometime. I will also be removing the authentication requirement since I haven't implemented features that require it yet. If I do, I'll put it back. If anyone has any input, add it now before I get deep into the next version. Thanks.

GoogleHack Version 3.1.0 -- Added Stocks to the radio menu of GoogleHack which allows for searching of ticker symbols. -- Added a minimize button to CodeSearch to minimize the interface. -- Updated tips for CodeSearch, TinySearch, and GoogleHack to display correct information. Version 3.0.0 had 111 downloads - many thanks to those of you who use it. While I still have not heard a great deal of feedback on this particular application, the fact that I have not received much negative feedback does bode well. I will continue to update this application and make improvements in every area. If you have input or feedback or want to rate my application, please do so. Version 3.1.0 should push GoogleHack over 500 total combined downloads. Enjoy.

I've updated the _StdDev UDF to include two types of returns - standard / non-standard. See the first topic post for more information. The standard return is the one that uses means (default) - the non-standard way uses squares.

I agree JS. There are multiple ways of returning Standard Deviation. One of the ways can be used to include some of the functions you both have worked out. I think there should be multiple "cases" for each function that can be used differently to allow anyone the ability to calculate using those functions in the way that they want to. I'll begin work on adjusting StdDev for use with the two types of standard deviation returns. The next case will include Andy's _Mean, and possibly a few of your functions if they are required. Good work mate.

By the way, adding another post here. I will in no way, shape, or form take offense at "anyone" that wishes to make any function that I write better from a coding standpoint. It's important to me to use whichever code is fastest, cleanest and shortest. @JS and @Andy If either of you find a way to use any of your functions inside my StdDev function that meets the above criteria, definitely let me know and provide a solution. Again, I will never take offense at that ever. It took me awhile, but I found a website that actually houses the standard deviation formula I'm using: http://www.easycalculation.com/statistics/...d-deviation.php Look down at Standard Deviation Method #2. That describes my Std in a nutshell.

Okay, Andy and JS - please look over the include I posted. I'm using Andy's mean in my program to calculate the mean and using my STD to calculate the standard deviation. The STD function I was using uses a secondary method for calculation (there are multiples) so it did not have to use a direct mean function of any sort. I just used a mean to represent that value in my program. Please look it over and let me know what you think. @ JS, I think you should shorten your function names to one underscore and name them something similar: _Sum or _StatsSum etc. etc. I have no problems having them in the Math.au3 file. That would be an appropriate spot since there aren't many functions in there.

I'll have some changes posted shortly. Thanks both.

Andy, putting differences of opinion aside, I do not think you are "inexperienced". When I mention more experienced coders, I'm referring to coders that are more experienced "than I am". I listen to my peers - even to you (why do you think I changed the UDF to account for two changes you posted?). I make changes when they definitely are needed and you posted a very valid reason which required a change in the UDF. I did that. I really do understand what you are getting at with the _mean function but rather than make assumptions and disect my UDF and add more functions, I simply want to wait and get some feedback from some more experienced coders. One thing that is very important to me as well as you is clarity. What I'd like to eventually do is have a library of statistics called "Statistics.au3" that houses statistical functions. However, I'm not certain that others would want _mean in that library. It's not my decision. I can only offer my input on a few UDFs that I enjoy using personally, standardize them, and make them available to others. If someone wants to put together a standardized library that is a collaborative effort, I'm all for that. Again, just because I respond to you doesn't mean I'm berating you. Relax mate. I've read your posts - you present some very good and solid ideas. Show me one person on this board that agrees with everyone 100% of the time. I don't know that person...

Read my edited post earlier. I've followed all of those guidelines. Is there something within that link you want to point out specifically that you feel "I'm not" following?

Your point is noted and yes you are sounding negative and drawing too much into your observations. Nothing else is being changed here. Thanks. Edit: Just wanted to offer another point of clarification. The return of just the mean is "optional". The function without options returns the standard deviation as noted. So, again, I don't understand why you are up in arms over having an option in a function to return just the mean. I do understand your reasoning but I don't necessarily agree with it. My UDF follows "every guideline" posted by GaryFrost. I'll wait for further feedback from some more experienced coders before deciding any further changes.

I have a couple of fixes and adjustments coming up for the code search functionality. Hopefully, I'll have it completed in the next few days.

Other posts updated.

JS, I propose that if we do work on multiple UDFs that it be implemented in an include called "Statistics". The Standard Deviation UDF is just one - but I can think of another 2 or 3 that I use often in calculations for variance. Let me know which UDFs you want to work on with me, or give me an idea of what types of UDF you are interested in. Thanks.

Use Top Post for UDF.

Don't knock yourself for trying to learn something. You may be reinventing the wheel, and badly even, but again it is "your" source and at least you'll understand it. I've taken very weak and small projects, built upon them, and sometimes they start off looking like a cracked egg but eventually turn into something more like an omelette. Keep working at it - we all do.

#Include <Misc.au3> While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $YourInputBoxVariable If (_IsPressed("0D")) Then ; Do something here EndIf EndSelect WEnd In addition to what was posted above, you can add another case within your while loop to search for a msg parameter when a key is pressed in the inputbox, in this case the enter key. If it's pressed, you can include what you want it to do where I provided an example.

Func Drag($GUI) DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hWnd", $GUI, "int", $WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, "int", $HTCAPTION, "int", 0) EndFunc Just place the name of your GUI parent variable in the function and place it in your loop. For example: Drag($FRMTest) - place that in your loop.

Hi Jarvis, Thanks for the interest in this. I have been working on an extremely diverse statistics program which I call GSA. I've compiled a Flash projector executable which you can download here: http://ncaastatpages.com/GSA.exe I tested the program in the ESPN bowl challenge and went 22 - 12 for the challenge with GSA. I saved all of the bowl comparisons for analysis. What I try to do is work towards a 5% P-value in all my statistical formulas. I'm right at around 28% P-value so I have a lot of work still to do. But, it did predict the national champion and you can play with it and let me know what you think. I would be happy to work on a statistics library if you want some help with it. Thanks.

Thanks mate - I'll definitely keep working on it. Searching the web for things is almost a full-time hobby of mine. Whatever I can do to make that process better will be implemented and shared.

There are 3 different advanced classes for those controls. They are: Residing within #32770 Class: Static; Instance: 8 (Set Computer Restrictions) Class: Static; Instance: 13 (Schedule Software Updates) Class: Static; Instance: 20 (Protect the Hard Disk)

For $i = 1 To 360 Send("{CTRLDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}S") ; uses CTRL + SHIFT + S for save as (use your own here) Send("{CTRLUP}{SHIFTUP}") sleep(0500) ; wait for the prompt Send("{a" & $i & ".jpg} {ENTER}") Sleep(0500) ; wait for the save to complete Next Many ways of doing this but a For > Next loop is probably your best bet. If you are working from within a program, you can find out the shortcut for file > save as and use that with send keys and give it a sleep for the delay between the program prompt and another sleep delay for the saving of the file. This is just a very bare "untested" example.

*NEW* with GoogleCode GoogleHack Version 3.0.0 -- Added GoogleCode, another segment to GoogleHack which allows you to search for code within many different programming languages. -- Added GoogleCode button to the main GH interface. -- Added a clear button to the GoogleCode interface which will reset all search parameters while in GCM (GoogleCode Mode). -- Updated Changelog -- Updated Helpfile -- Updated PSD files -- Updated image files Added GoogleCode which allows you to find any code within any package source on the web. Read the change log and the help file for further information on how to use it. Enjoy.

Upcoming for Version 3.0 : I'm going to be adding a third section to GoogleHack which includes everything for Google's Code Search page. With this new addition (still to come) you'll be able to search advanced code snips from any page - cached, compressed, archived, etc. for almost 50 different programming languages. It will take me a solid week to get this next bit in but I wanted to let you know what was up and coming.
