Hello, First of all i'm new and not that good at coding in general, i'm trying to create a simple gui that will achieve a simple goal : * one input (username) * one button (start a powershell with the inputT used) So far I have this going : #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> ;Creating GUI GUICreate("search last logon",150,110) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Entrer un Snumber",30,20,200,30) $inputSnumber = GUICtrlCreateInput("",25,35,100,20) $config = GUICtrlCreateButton("Lancer recherche", 25, 60, 100, 20) $snumber = GUICtrlRead($inputSnumber) $sPSCmd = "Get-ADUser -Identity" & $snumber & "-Properties 'LastLogon'| Select-Object Name, @{N='LastLogon'; E {[DateTime]::FromFileTime($_.LastLogon)}}" ;affichage de la fenêtre GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $idMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $idMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $config RunWait(@comspec & ' /c powershell.exe -nologo -executionpolicy bypass -WindowStyle hidden -noprofile -command "&' & $sPSCmd & '"') ;trying to find why this does not work ;( MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"", GUICtrlRead($inputSnumber)) MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL,"",$sPSCmd) EndSwitch WEnd I tried this thingy : $sPSCmd = "Get-ADUser -Identity" & $snumber & "-Properties 'LastLogon'| Select-Object Name, @{N='LastLogon'; E {[DateTime]::FromFileTime($_.LastLogon)}}" with & $snumber & or directly GUICtrlRead($inputSnumber) but, when outputting the command ($sPSCmd) the variable does not shows up. Would someone be kind enough to give this a try and guide me ? Thanks again from a baguette technician

I was looking for a way to embed Windows Media Player into Autoit. I found 2 Windows Media Player UDF's but both of them seem to have used the OCX directly. The problem with using the OCX directly is that the video display size cannot be changed, and it takes the size of the video inherently. @seangriffin created the VLC GUI based on embedding the IE object into the GUI and that seems to work perfectly with Windows Media Player as well and it does not give the resize problem. I built the WMP.au3 around this concept and would like to share it with everybody. Attached is the WMP.au3 and the WMP_Example.au3 where it is used. Feedback is appreciated. This is my first UDF, so please be kind. SudeepJD WMP_Example.au3 WMP.au3

Hello everyone, today I would like to show you how far I have come with the implementation of DarkMode for AutoIT GUIs. Source: https://github.com/ysc3839/win32-darkmode About Win32 Darkmode: Since about 2020 there is a "hidden" / "undocumented" API for Win32 DarkMode. There is also already a program that has implemented this quite well. (Notepad++) Difficulties Unfortunately, the Windows devs are either too lazy or have been stupid with the implementation. So we have to apply all kinds of fixes (as we are already used to) to get the GUIs to actually run completely. Also there are some difficulties as all existing code that could be used is written in c++. I understand that, but only rudimentarily. So if there is someone here who can / would like to help me translate / implement some existing solutions. There are for example: The 'FixDarkScrollBar()' function which I would like to implement, but where I just can't get any further. Also with ChatGPT the code is difficult to 'override' and it doesn't work at all. GPT tells me that the implementation in AutoIT is quite impossible. And the full IatHook.h (https://github.com/ysc3839/win32-darkmode/blob/master/win32-darkmode/IatHook.h) Edit: Sloved witth v0.0.3 Todos / Challenges: * Redrawing of the Menu to Black * Getting the other controls into the right Theme for DarkMode * Setting Text Theme Colder of e.g. Checkboxes, ListViewHeader or Group Text * Getting Darkmode for Date Let me know what you think and where you might have suggestions for improvement or ideas. (Especially if you can help translate c++ into autoit :3) Kind Regards NoNameCode GUIDarkMode_V0.03 - OpenNcThemeData Hook.zip Changelog V.03 * Added HookOpenNcThemeData.dll => Coded by NoNameCode in C++ if someone want the Source pls DM * Added HookOpenNcThemeData_Debug.dll => Same as HookOpenNcThemeData.dll but Creates a OpenNcThemeData.txt with the opened Classes and if the Class got Replaced by Hook * Changed Darkmode_GUISample.au3 > More Data for GUICtrlCreateList and GUICtrlCreateEdit + #include <String.au3> > Added Routine to get AutoIt Install Path by Reg; or if not by @AutoItExe for PIC (logo4.gif) or AVI (SampleAVI.avi) * Changed GUIDarkMode.au3 > Added DllOpen for HookOpenNcThemeData.dll and Added OnAutoItExitRegister for DllClose function > Changed _GUICtrlSetDarkTheme -> Cleand Up Switch by CTRL Class bec. moste of them are not needed anymore through ScrollbarFix via HookOpenNcThemeData.dll Old Stuff:

Hi folks 👋 , I hope you can help me by listing ways/approaches to embed a HTML page into a default AutoIt GUI. But let me explain it a little bit. Why? I really like AutoIt 💙 , but when it comes to nice looking GUI-Applications, the creation of them is always a pain to be honest. I really want to use the power of CSS (for styling the GUI) and maybe also JS (for do some animation stuff etc). ⚠ I know we have several approaches to handle GUI creation, GUI design/styling (MetroGui) and so on, but these are not very comfortable in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the work of the authors in that field, but compared to common web design opportunities they are not very handy or powerful 😔 . The usage of GDI/GDIPlus is also not an option I would seriously consider, as it takes a long time to create such a nice looking GUI (at least for me as an inexperienced GDI user). What's looks promising to my: 💡 I am curious about CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) and the AutoIt-HTTP-Server of @genius257 (with the example manga server and reader). I don't know if I understood the concepts correctly that's why I hesitate to spent the time to dive deeper into these fields. I "simply" want to use a CSS and JS driven webpage (HTML page) within a AutoIt GUI. Of course I also want to communicate between the frontend action (hover, clicks, events) with AutoIt as the backend. Would these approaches fulfill my ideas or are there others you can think of that would possibly allow this? 🙏 I am really grateful for your time and feedback folks, thank you. Best regards Sven

Good morning In terms of AutoIt, what is that? A GUI with an input control? How would that be coded? I have never done anything like this.

👋 Hey I want to call a function when something changes on an element in my GUI. That should work for a combo box (with $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST) when I select an item and for a text input when I type.

Hi guys, I would like to make a gui borderless viewing a png image with transparent background. pretty much has to be visible only the png image with no background..you have any simple example? Thank's GUICtrlCreatePic still it provides the image with the background...

Hi all, The more projects I work on, the harder it is to find old scripts I created with certain techniques in them. I'd like to leave this here for others to get an idea from and it will be available now by keyword searching in this forum. This project needed an evenly distributed button grid setup on a touch screen with half decent sized buttons and spacing so the user would be less likely to press the key beside it. Here is one quick example to give anyone an idea of a way to handle it. #include <GUIConstants.au3> GUICreate("Button Grid", 1080, 100) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box ;--Create and Position Controls Dim $btnActivated[1][2] ;Col 1 is button id, Col 2 is True/False used in 1 example as depressed Dim $btnArray[100][2] ;Col 1 is button id, Col 2 is True/False used in 1 example as depressed $num = 0 $btnActivated[0][0] = GUICtrlCreateButton("Activated", 0, 0, 100, 100) ;x,y,w,h $btnActivated[0][1] = True GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0x00ff00) GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0x005500) GUICtrlSetFont(-1,14) For $Y = 0 To 1 For $X = 0 To 7 ConsoleWrite( ($X * 100) + ($X*20) + 120 & @CRLF) If $Y=0 Then $btnArray[$num][0] = GUICtrlCreateButton($num + 1, ($X * 100) + ($X*20) + 120, 0, 100, 40) ;x,y,w,h Else $btnArray[$num][0] = GUICtrlCreateButton($num + 1, ($X * 100) + ($X*20) + 120, ($Y * 40) + $Y*20, 100, 40) ;x,y,w,h EndIf GUICtrlSetBkColor($btnArray[$num][0], 0xFFFFFF) $num += 1 Next Next ;--Set Button Names GUICtrlSetData($btnArray[0][0],"Autoit") GUICtrlSetData($btnArray[1][0],"Is") GUICtrlSetData($btnArray[2][0],"Cool") ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $btnActivated[0][0] $btnActivated[0][1] = NOT $btnActivated[0][1] If $btnActivated[0][1] Then GUICtrlSetBkColor($btnActivated[0][0],0x00ff00) GUICtrlSetColor($btnActivated[0][0],0x005500) GUICtrlSetData($btnActivated[0][0],"Activated") GUICtrlSetFont($btnActivated[0][0],14) Else GUICtrlSetBkColor($btnActivated[0][0],0xFF9999) GUICtrlSetColor($btnActivated[0][0],0x550000) GUICtrlSetData($btnActivated[0][0],"DeActivated") GUICtrlSetFont($btnActivated[0][0],13) EndIf Case $btnArray[0][0] If $btnActivated[0][1] Then MsgBox(0,"Notice","Btn1",1) EndIf Case $btnArray[1][0] If $btnActivated[0][1] Then MsgBox(0,"Notice","Btn2",1) EndIf Case $btnArray[2][0] If $btnActivated[0][1] Then MsgBox(0,"Notice","Btn3",1) EndIf EndSwitch WEnd I couldn't find one of my old projects that broke the button array into more columns that included the actual button name in the field. Feel free to share your own or share a more flexible version of this simple example.

I am making some GUI with combobox for the Baudrates communications and I listed 9600, 57600, 115200. I wrote the code to be defaulted to 57600 like this: GUICtrlSetData($comboBox_opticalBaudRate, "9600|57600|115200", "57600") But I wanted the GUI to remember the last item the user picks so the baudrates will NOT be defaulted to 57600. Example, I pick 9600 as my baudrates, then I close the GUI, after opening it, it always prompt 57600 since that is what I did in my code. But I want that if I choose 9600 and close the GUI, opening it again will show 9600 now instead of 57600. Is there a way to do it in GUI setting? Thanks.

Introduction ImGui is a popular library written by ocornut, it can make awesome user interface based on directx. It is being used by many big apps/games. The UI is nice and flexible, easy to use because of frame-by-frame drawing. So I decided to convert the entire ImGui library to AutoIt At first it's just an experiment, i converted some basic draw functions of imgui, compile to a dll, then using DllCall in autoit to call the functions. I was testing to see how much FPS i can get in autoit, and i was expected a low FPS, since autoit is slow. Suprisingly, the FPS turned out to be so high, it works really fast, even when drawing 1000 buttons at the same time. Features More than +270 functions converted from ImGui (compiled dll). Has 90% of the capability of what you can do in C++; Usable ImGuiIO and ImGuiStyle, so you can set whatever configurations you like. Preview Usage #include <WinAPI.au3> #include "ImGui.au3" ; Create a window Local $hwnd = _ImGui_GUICreate("AutoIt ImGui", 1024, 768) _WinAPI_ShowWindow($hwnd) ; Set style color _ImGui_StyleColorsLight() ;~ _ImGui_StyleColorsDark() Local $f_value = 5 While 1 ; when the user click close button on the window, this will return false if Not _ImGui_PeekMsg() Then Exit ; must call _ImGui_BeginFrame() _ImGui_Begin("Another window") _ImGui_Text("Hello there..") If _ImGui_Button("click me") Then $f_value = 5 _ImGui_SliderFloat("slider", $f_value, 2, 20) If _ImGui_IsItemHovered() Then _ImGui_ToolTip("what r u doing?") _ImGui_End() ; must call _ImGui_EndFrame() Wend Remark Most of the functions were converted automatically. I haven't tested all of them yet, if some function doesn't work for you, please tell me. Still missing some features of ImGui, please tell me if you needed any. Run \tools\imgui-au3-setup.au3 to add _ImGui functions to SciTE auto-complete. Source Code Require: DirectX GitHub: imgui-autoit

Hi, I am having a problem properly saving the Width of a resizable Gui. When a user resizes the Gui it gets saved in an ini when the Gui closes to then restore the new Width upon reopening the app. with GUICreate("myGui",300,200,Default,Default,$WS_SIZEBOX) WinGetPos($hGUI) returns 314, and WinGetClientSize($hGUI) returns 298 when its then saved in the ini the gui keeps expanding or shrinking every time its opened by +14 or -2 I figure it has to do with borders etc, but i also guess borders depend on the window theme and whatnot or is user specific, so i can't just do $GuiWidth = $GetGuiWidth[arr] -14 or +2 right? is there a proper way of doing this? Thanks in advance, Aapjuh

Hello all! i'm searching here, cause i do'nt know where else to search.. I'm developing some projects, mainly intended to help Blind users of computers. I'm also blind, so my guis are Ok for Screen readers, but i'm not sure, if they are good also for normal users.. So I¨m searching here for somebody, interested in Autoit, which have no problem to help me a bit with designating my apps. My apps are written in Czech language, so i prefer somebody from Czech republic.. If somebody want to help me, don't hesitate to contact me personaly, contacts and my projects are available on web in my profile. So thank you for potential help and i'm sorry if i missed some forum etiquette rule here. I'm not sure how it works here with searching for interested people and then contact them personaly. Fenzik

So I am a person who has learned programming off the internet, without structured courses, and I'm trying to create a UI element that can be used like "GUICtrlCreate...". I'd like to get some kind of insight on how to improve the code of a Graph element that I have created. I am unfamiliar on the standards for creating such UI elements, and assume I'll get some valuable insight here. Here's some sample code: (I tried to make it look a bit less upsetting to those who know better, but be warned: not pretty.) #include <WinAPISys.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <WinAPIGdi.au3> #include <Array.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> Local $hWnd = GUICreate("Test", 200, 200) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hWnd) Local $hGraph = _GraphStartUp($hWnd, 10, 30, 180, 180) Local $nData, $nDataMax = 1000, $hDataTimer = TimerInit() While GUIGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_ClOSE If TimerDiff($hDataTimer) >= 150 Then $nData = Random(0, $nDataMax) _UpdateGraph($nData) $hDataTimer = TimerInit() EndIf Sleep(20) WEnd _GraphShutDown($hWnd, $hGraph) Exit Func _GraphStartUp($hWnd, $x, $y, $w, $h, $nUpdateTimes = 1000, $nResolution = 60) Global $hBluePen = _WinAPI_CreatePen($PS_SOLID, 2, _WinAPI_RGB(220, 0, 0)) Global $hGreyPen = _WinAPI_CreatePen($PS_DASH, 1, _WinAPI_RGB(100, 100, 100)) Global $hBlackPen = _WinAPI_CreatePen($PS_SOLID, 1, _WinAPI_RGB(0, 0, 0)) Global $hWhitePen = _WinAPI_CreatePen($PS_SOLID, 1, _WinAPI_RGB(255, 255, 255)) Global $nGraphRes = $nResolution Global $aGraphData[$nGraphRes + 1] For $i = 2 To $nGraphRes $aGraphData[$i] = 0 Next Global $hWinDC = _WinAPI_GetWindowDC($hWnd) Global $nGraphX = $x Global $nGraphY = $y Global $nGraphWidth = $w Global $nGraphHeight = $h Global $nGraphXUnit = $nGraphWidth / ($nGraphRes - 1) Global $nGraphBottomY = $nGraphY + $nGraphHeight Global $nGraphMaxX = $nGraphX + $nGraphWidth Global $aUpdateArea[4][2] = [[$nGraphX - 1, $nGraphY - 1], [$nGraphX - 1, $nGraphBottomY + 1], [$nGraphMaxX + 1, $nGraphBottomY + 1], [$nGraphMaxX + 1, $nGraphY - 1]] Global $pUpdateAreaRgn = _WinAPI_CreatePolygonRgn($aUpdateArea) Global $pTextRect = _WinAPI_CreateRectEx($nGraphX + 1, $nGraphY + 1, $nGraphWidth / 2, $nGraphHeight / 4) Global $nGreatestValue = 1 GLobal $pGraphArea = _WinAPI_CreateRectEx($nGraphX - 7, $nGraphY - 26, $nGraphWidth + 14, $nGraphHeight + 2) Global $pDrawCall = DllCallbackRegister('_DrawGraph', 'none', '') Global $pGraphTimer = _WinAPI_SetTimer($hWnd, 567891234, $nUpdateTimes, DllCallbackGetPtr($pDrawCall)) _DrawGraph() Return $pGraphTimer EndFunc Func _DrawGraph() Global $hPen $nGreatestValue = _ArrayMax($aGraphData, 1, 1) $hPen = _WinAPI_SelectObject($hWinDC, $hWhitePen) _WinAPI_PaintRgn($hWinDC, $pUpdateAreaRgn) $hPen = _WinAPI_SelectObject($hWinDC, $hGreyPen) _WinAPI_DrawLine($hWinDC, $nGraphX, $nGraphY, $nGraphMaxX, $nGraphY) _WinAPI_DrawLine($hWinDC, $nGraphX, $nGraphY + ($nGraphHeight / 2), $nGraphMaxX, $nGraphY + ($nGraphHeight / 2)) _WinAPI_DrawLine($hWinDC, $nGraphMaxX, $nGraphY, $nGraphMaxX, $nGraphBottomY) $hPen = _WinAPI_SelectObject($hWinDC, $hBluePen) For $i = 1 To $nGraphRes - 1 _WinAPI_DrawLine($hWinDC, $nGraphX + (($i - 1) * $nGraphXUnit), $nGraphBottomY - ($aGraphData[$i] / $nGreatestValue * $nGraphHeight), $nGraphX + ($i * $nGraphXUnit), $nGraphBottomY - ($aGraphData[$i + 1] / $nGreatestValue * $nGraphHeight)) Next $hPen = _WinAPI_SelectObject($hWinDC, $hBlackPen) _WinAPI_DrawLine($hWinDC, $nGraphX, $nGraphBottomY, $nGraphMaxX, $nGraphBottomY) _WinAPI_DrawLine($hWinDC, $nGraphX, $nGraphY, $nGraphX, $nGraphBottomY) _WinAPI_DrawText($hWinDC, Round($aGraphData[$nGraphRes], 2), $pTextRect, $DT_LEFT) EndFunc Func _UpdateGraph($nData) _ArrayAdd($aGraphData, $nData) _ArrayDelete($aGraphData, 1) EndFunc Func _GraphShutDown($hWnd, $pGraphTimer) _WinAPI_SelectObject($hWinDC, $hPen) _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBlackPen) _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hGreyPen) _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBluePen) _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hWhitePen) _WinAPI_ReleaseDC($hWnd, $hWinDC) _WinAPI_KillTimer($hWnd, $pGraphTimer) DllCallbackFree($pDrawCall) _WinAPI_RedrawWindow($hWnd, $pGraphArea) EndFunc

Hey guys! I just started working with the GUI yesterday and it has only brought more fun to the Autoit adventure Basically I have a GUI windows that opens and based on the selection of the combo box the button will do something different. This specific scenario I am talking about the Client Update Verification combo selection. When selected and the button is pressed my second gui window opens. As of now if I only paste comp1 or comp2 by itself it works correctly, but if I paste both, it has a fit. What would the correct way to do this be? Any help or examples, would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to assign a faint text in the background to an input field that disappears after the input has started. This should have a certain color such as gray.

Hi All, I am trying to mark out the middle square of this Magnify Routine "window on right" (stolen from M23 - Thanks) - I assume the DllCall is overwriting the boxes. But wherever I try and redraw, they won't stay on the Magnify Window. Can anyone advise, bet way to keep boxes around the middle square. Please be kind with my code, it is ripped from a MUCH bigger exe. The "half" transparent window, is for dragging to where you want it, and the buttons are for more precise placement. #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> Global $hMag_GUI, $hMagDC, $hDeskDC, $hPen, $oObj, $aWinPos[2], $iLast_Mouse_X = 0, $iLast_Mouse_Y = 0 Global $pWindowCaptureX, $pWindowCaptureY Global $pWindowMagWinX, $pWindowMagWinY #Region - GUI3 ;

Hi all, I've been looking around the forum and testing different ways of getting a 'drop zone' to work in my script, but I can't seem to get any response from the event listener. Code compiles perfectly. Chaning the control from a label to an input- or edit-field doesn't change its behaviour, still no response when a file is dropped on there... It might just be that I am overlooking a simple detail, so I'm hoping for an extra pair of eyes here or there who can spot why this isn't working as it should. I have another 3500+ lines script where I have basically the same bit of code, and it seems to work in there without problems. So, here it goes: Global $DD_GUI = GUICreate("DicomDrop",200,200,-1,-1,BitOR($WS_SYSMENU,$WS_POPUP),$WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES) GUISetBkColor(0x030303,$DD_GUI) $DD_GUI_DRAGLABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("",0,0,32,32,-1, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG) $DD_GUI_DRAGIMAGE = GUICtrlCreateIcon(@ScriptFullPath,201,0,0,32,32) $DD_GUI_TITLELABEL = GUICtrlCreateLabel("DicomDrop",50,10,100,20,$SS_CENTER) GUICtrlSetFont($DD_GUI_TITLELABEL,8,$FW_SEMIBOLD,$GUI_FONTNORMAL,"Verdana") GUICtrlSetColor($DD_GUI_TITLELABEL,0xFFFFFF) $DD_GUI_CLOSE = GUICtrlCreateButton("X",174,4,24,24,$BS_FLAT) GUICtrlSetBkColor($DD_GUI_CLOSE,0x030303) GUICtrlSetColor($DD_GUI_CLOSE,0xFFFFFF) Global $DD_GUI_DROPZONE = GUICtrlCreateLabel("",10,42,180,148) GUICtrlSetState(-1,8) GUICtrlSetBkColor($DD_GUI_DROPZONE,0x181818) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$DD_GUI) Local $DD_MSG = 0 While 1 $DD_MSG = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $DD_MSG = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Debug -- Closed by GUI_EVENT_CLOSE") DD_EXIT() Case $DD_MSG = $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED If @GUI_DropId = $DD_GUI_DROPZONE Then Local $DroppedFile = @GUI_DragFile GUIDelete() ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Debug -- Dropped file : " & $DroppedFile) EndIf Case $DD_MSG = $DD_GUI_CLOSE ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Debug -- Closed by DD_GUI_CLOSEIMAGE") DD_EXIT() EndSelect WEnd Func DD_EXIT() GUIDelete($DD_GUI) Exit EndFunc If anyone has any idea whatsoever, please let me know 🙂 Thanks in advance and kind regards, Jan

Hi all, I am creating a GUI library in Nim with win32 API functions. Even though the syntax is similar to Python, coding is almost similar to C in Nim. I can change the back color of the button in NM_CUSTOMDRAW. But I can't change the button text color. here is my pseudo code. proc setBtnBackColor*(me : Button, lp: LPNMCUSTOMDRAW ) = if lp.uItemState and CDIS_SELECTED : #------------------ btn clicked # Here i am changing the button color with SelectObject & FillRect. elif lp.uItemState and CDIS_HOT : # ----------------Mouse over # Here i am changing the button's mouse hover color with SelectObject & FillRect. else: # -------------------------Default color set # Here i am changing the button's default color with SelectObject & FillRect. # Here i tried---> SetTextColor(lp.hdc, RGB(102, 255, 51) ) #------- But no luck. #------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please guide me. What i am doing wrong here ? I am returning "CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT" after calling this function. Note : I am using subclassed button. So when the parent window receives WM_NOTIFY message, it sends that to my button's WndProc. There i am handling the message.
