Hello to all =) I am currently creating some Functions UDFs and examples using DllCall and other methods that interact with MS C runtime and Windows API. Many of the MSDN documents can be a little ambiguous and more so when converting to an AutoIt3 context, so for correctness or when I can't find conformation from within the forum or other documentation I would like to ask a number of questions with regards to the above topic. Even though some questions may not appear to relate to the same topic, they are all related to the same set of UDFs I am creating. The main purpose of the Function library is exemplify the use of Dll Calls from within AutoIt3 for other users and obviously a good learning and practice exercise for myself. Some Functions may resemble functions already supplied within the UDF library, and is purely a mater of process and coincidence to have arrived at a similar place. Where a UDF function already exists I will provide an example of the same method using the standard UDF , as the standard AutoIt UDFs will be more appropriate for most Users. The second purpose is to extend some of the current UDFs relating to AutoIt/Windows Dialog Metrics and Device Context. Although this is intended mostly for my own purposes It will offer a reasonable context for DllCall examples and hopefully a few additional functions that others may benefit from. Before posting any code or examples I would like to ensure that I am using the correct AutoIt and Win API measurements and methods so I will begin with those questions. (Mods, I would like to keep future code examples at the top of this thread, but if that is not convenient I can begin another thread. Basic layout top to bottom 1. Code examples with explanations 2.Standards, Measurements and Metrics 3.Questions and general discussions) For members who may feel that I am an unknown quantity, I am a very happy, easy going person and always approachable for questions or suggestions =) I do have a lot going on in the background most days between indentured study, Software Dev Startup, assisting local students with fundamental coding and robotics, time with my family etc. So If I don't reply to a question straight away, its just that I am busy elsewhere with other commitments.
