Help! Someone can convert this to Autoit!

[holly]

Hi all, i'm a newbie and my name is Holly, nice to meet all

I'd like to put a gui over a game, it's not game automation, i need only a timer for remember me when to stop playing

Searching on the web, i have find only dll hoocking but today i have see a post can resolve my problem:

I created a timer window and set it as a child to the full screen window, then added a style so that the child wouldn't take focus over the parent.

You most likely need to set +WS_CHILD -WS_POPUP for the child window. For instance:

Gui, 1:+LastFound

hwnd1 := WinExist()

Gui, 2:+LastFound

Gui, 2:+0x40000000 -0x80000000 ; Add WS_CHILD, remove WS_POPUP

hwnd2 := WinExist()

DllCall("SetParent", "uint", hwnd2, "uint", hwnd1)

Gui, 2:Show, x0 y0 w200 h200, GUI 2

Gui, 1:Show, w400 h400, GUI 1

return

GuiClose:

ExitApp

If you uncomment the Gui, 2:+0x4... line, GUI 2 is set as the foreground window whenever you try to focus GUI 1. Pressing Alt+F4 closes GUI 2 (or does nothing if it's already closed), and pressing GUI 1's close button doesn't work. After adding WS_CHILD and removing WS_POPUP, AHK Window Info shows that GUI 1 is the foreground/active window, and GUI 2 is the focused control. MSDN wrote: For compatibility reasons, SetParent does not modify the WS_CHILD or WS_POPUP window styles of the window whose parent is being changed. Therefore, if hWndNewParent is NULL, you should also clear the WS_CHILD bit and set the WS_POPUP style after calling SetParent. Conversely, if hWndNewParent is not NULL and the window was previously a child of the desktop, you should clear the WS_POPUP style and set the WS_CHILD style before calling SetParent.

I'm searching for someone can convert the 11 lines of AutoHotKey into autoit language.

Pleeeeeeeeeeese

I would go at it at a different approach. I would make a script that at a time, or after a set time it starts dinging at you just annoyingly enough to get you to exit the game to close it. Don't want to loose to uber boss just because a window popped up on you.

I have a clock/egg timer script at home, I might post it later.

We dont do personal requests

But did you ask yourself what will autoit help file do if you type in its search

WinExist, or gui, or DllCall or SetParent?

AutoIt + Game = Not Allowed.

[czardas]

You don't need a GUI to remind you when to stop playing a game. If you want to create a timed alarm then I would use some kind of annoying beeping sound to remind you.

[bogQ]

something like

$oShell = ObjCreate("SAPI.SpVoice") ; Get the Windows SAPI Object
$oShell.Speak("30 minutes of playing left.")

well it's more like annoying voice than a sound, but it will work

I am using that for every rule-breaking post from now on.

$oShell = ObjCreate("SAPI.SpVoice") ; Get the Windows SAPI Object
$oShell.Speak("I will not break the forum rules. I will not break the forum rules!")

[czardas]

@bogQ I think 30 minutes is a bit excessive. I don't understand AutoHotKey anyway.

Edit

Just sayin' what JohnOne said: there's plenty of people here who will help you, providing the code doesn't interact with a game in any way whatsoever.

I just want to say that at this point I'm completely disappointed in AHK. I was planning to get familiar with that language at some near future but seeing that example I think I'll pass.

[Zedna]

Interesting stuff.

In AutoIt there are these functions as alternatives for AHK ones:

WinGetHandle()
WinExists()
_WinAPI_SetParent()
_WinAPI_SetWindowLong() + $GWL_STYLE
WinSetState() + @SW_SHOW
WinMove()

So just look into helpfile at these functions and their examples ...
