Isn't it already there? Albeit in an un-compiled version, but why does this matter? By definition if you're updating AutoIt, you must have it installed in the first place!

I don't have much time to read this now, but yeah, it looks quite good. Sorry I missed it, but I was thinking more along the lines of COM stuff. I know there was some great UDFs posted when we had DLL support added, and now with COM it's reduced some of it to just a few lines. Still, sometimes we have to rely on good ol' fashioned external proggies. But if they do the job, hey why not. Thanks in advance, will post my thoughts when I've had more of a play.

Cool, I need to do this for a script I'm writing however, this only covers part of my task. Any ideas on how to; Get the startup type of a service Get a list of services I've done some googling, but not had much luck :-(

JdeB - I think you need to include AU3Xtra.dll in the SciTe install set. Else, I get an error when trying to choose a font for a SplashText in CodeWizard. Edit: Hmmm, soz, just assumed it wasn't there, but it seems it is, just that for some reason when I click this button it says it isn't then gives an AutoIt error - maybe one for whoever wrote CodeWizard to fix. Also... It seems to be missing the pictures in the icons section of the MessageBox tab Edit2: OK, seems that the Choose button works in the un-compiled version of the script, but not in the compiled version.

Resource Hacker isn't actually included with the Scite4AutoIt install set, you have to download it from http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/ If you have a combination of this and CompileAU3 you shoudl have all you need..

Ahhh, dunno since I've never done anything with StringRegExp - it's all too confusing for me, and since I don't know what it does I don't know where I'd use it anyway Didn't know that the documentation is missing in .14 then though. Damn straight though, I can't wait to see new beta-edge. I want Tray Menu, Stdio capture etc. Plus I just like playing with new toys Oh yeah, and your program, just love it cos I'm a lazy arse and can't be bothered to find the download link for the beta each time. Rock on.

Are you sure you're using the latest version of AutoIt? The two modifications both relate to fairly newish changes to AutoIt (namely, the = 1 thing on the -ArrayInsert function is an optional parameter, and the third parameter on FileGetTime is the return type of FileGetTime.)

What's all this fuss about - If you want a version with Regular Expressions in, just fire up AutoUpdateIt and download the latest beta from that. Yes, the version number is .01 older than the released version, but I remember Jon saying the only difference was that he'd removed StringRegExp. There's nothing wrong with the numbering, it was just updated to reflect the fact the version was different.

Woo hooo - can't wait!

Hmmm... is there any way to tell how many icons are in a file? Because, at the moment you can press next right past the last icon in the file.

You have RunErrorsFatal. This can be used to determine whether to have a fatal error or a silent error when a Run or RunWait couldn't be completed for some reason (i.e. application couldn't load). This is the only real thing you can, and need to trap errors for in this way. You can't really trap errors during the execution of another program, since you can't tell how it would error, and you'd ideally need some sort of debug tool to plug into it.

I'm sure splash image would be pretty easy to implement. Probably quite easier as it has less options, so they'd fit easier on the tab. But hey, it's not like I'm gonna bother trying...

gcriaco - I hope you don't mind, but I'm trying to add in an adaptation of my SplashText generator. However, I'm having difficulty fitting everything in. I'm trying to keep in line with your design, but I can't really figure out fitting in the options bits. Namely, check boxes for; 0 = Center justified/always on top/with title (default) 1 = Thin bordered titleless window 2 = Without "always on top" attribute And radio buttons for; 4 = Left justified text 8 = Right justified text 16 = Windows can be moved If you're happy for me to play, do you - or anyone else who's better at GUIs, since I don't really like that, want to help with fitting them in? I've attached what I've got so far. I think I should be able to add the rest as your code is really cleanly written and easy to read. As I said, as long as you don't mind me doing this - don't want to step on toes. CodeWizard.au3

Open the help file... read some stuff... try some things out... then come here when you have problems...

Don't know whether to post this here, or in the updater thread, but is there any chance of you / Jon / Saunders putting something together for checking for SciTe updates? Maybe integrated into the AutoIt updater in some way?

Did I notice that Jon started doing this when 3.0.103 became 3.1? I'm sure I saw downloads with like 3.1.0.14 or such in the file name.

Yeah, i "got it"... I wasn't saying that there wasn't necessarily a problem with the way AutoIt works, mearly explaining I wouldn't expect this was a bug, but as deisgned, because I believe this is the way most Windows programs work. I suppose even splitting up the $CmdLineRaw variable would be tricky as you may have spaces in params. Surely it's better practice to use some character before parameters to indicate they are parameters. I know some programs will take (for example) my.exe "file to open.ext" But, ususally, in my experience when you have multiple parameters you have a slash or a dash or something before them, because then this allows for the parameters to be in any order and you know what they are. i.e; my.exe /f:"file to open.ext" ... other options here

Take a look at FileOpenDialog - does this help?

What file? The AutoIt script, a file you select from the script, or something else? Might wanna have a poke in the help file at the File* functions under Function Reference->File, Directory and Disk Management to see if anything there gives you inspiration and post whatever script you have so far.

Heres a version of a SplashText generator I created a while ago. It uses Au3GuiXp though, but it may give some inspiration, if it's not too much hassle to hack around my environment specific bits it there. SplashText_ER.au3

What option? If you're talking about the $CmdLineRaw variable it was probably only added recently. Go download 3.1 now it's available.

Hmmm, tricky one. Because, the speakmarks are there as there is a space in the parameters, but I don't think most Windows programs would treat the speech marks as being part of the parameter. They should show up in the $CmdLineRaw variable though.

Yeah, let's get it released, there's been loads of cool stuff come out since the feature freeze that I'm itching to see in there and play with :-)

Yeah, that'll do :-)

Jon - Any chance that AutoUpdateIt can be included (and linked in the start menu shortcut) as a compiled exe. Still leave the source of it in the folder for people to look at, but having the script compiled will make it quicker to execute it is people don't have Run Script as the default action on an .au3 file.
