To gseller: Thanks, that's just what I needed to know. To HAL9000: Try removing the back slashes from the quoted strings ...

This is something to do with the version 3.2.12 updates. The example was written using v3.2.8.1. Errors relating to use of GuiCombo.au3 now seem to have proliferated. _GuiCtrlComboAddString() is a UDF included with v3.2.8.1 Perhaps someone else can work out what's wrong?

I don't know if it will help, but I recently wrote a small demo of dependent combo boxes: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=77915

Well, I have just uninstalled 3.2.12 and reinstalled v3.2.8.1 . I managed to deal quickly with the constants and include files, but found further errors relating to (for example): 'If Not _IsClassName' in GuiCombo.au3. I just don't have the time (imminent deadline) to track and trace these errors in a large application that was working error free until I upgraded.

Very useful plugin. I am using the SHA-1 module in my app.

Thanks very much. This is just what I need.

The XOR encryption algorithm is regarded as inherently insecure. Even without knowledge of the key, it is easy and quick to retrieve the plain text of the message using brute force methods. However, it does give an insight into how encryption algorithms work and is useful as an academic exercise. As to how it works? The plain text is encrypted against the key according to some set pattern. Decryption is the exact reverse of encryption, as the XOR value of some character is always going to be the same, given the same key, and vice versa. For example, suppose the XOR of the character 'A', with our key becomes the character 'Z', then XORing 'Z' with the same key will produce 'A'. XOR is a logical operation, meaning eXclusive OR. It is too long ago since I studied logic gates, so I can't give you the logic table, but I am sure someone out there can ...

Thanks. The UDF's do make life a LOT easier.

Hi I am working on an application that uses the IE ActiveX control within a GUI (similar to the example provided with Autoit3) using the GUICtrlCreateObj() function. I have discovered since, that it is possible to embed IE using the _IECreateEmbedded() function (although it seems you still need to use the GUICtrlCreateObj() function). What are the pros and cons of either method? Is one method preferable to the other?, or does it not matter, anyway? Thanks
