AZJIO,

The continuation operator is found under <Language Reference - Comments>. Not the best place, but where else would you suggest? :huh:

I will add something about the location of the default script header. :)

there is few examples and snippets

but why syntax are not correctly highlighted, I mean why syntax is not in correct colors - like in all others example ?

Fixed.

If...Then

If...Else

For, While, Do...Until

Switch, Select

With

"statements" is part of the design. Why it is not specified in the parameters?

Multi-statement block that is executed if the associated expression <expression> is True

Using AutoIt -> Running under Windows 64-bit Edition

The table contains the headers:

Directories | 32-bit Value | 64-bit Value

What is meant by a 32 bit value?

a) operating system?

b ) compiled file?

c) other value?

Add the examples of frequently asked questions. That is, add the examples of problem solving. Or make reference to the topic of the forum, in which the problem is solved.

HotKeySet() help states:

The following hotkeys cannot be set:

Ctrl+Alt+Delete It is reserved by Windows

 The same is true for Ctrl+Alt+NumPadDot
Ctrl+Alt+NumPadDot performs the same action as Ctrl+Alt+Delete
At least on Win7
Only difference is that Hotkeyset returns
0 for Ctrl+Alt+Delete
1 for Ctrl+Alt+NumPadDot
Here a small reproducer:

_HotKey("{ESC}")
_HotKey("^!{NUMPADDOT}")
_HotKey("^!{DEL}")

Func _HotKey($hotkey = "")
    Switch @HotKeyPressed
        Case "{ESC}"
            Exit MsgBox(64 + 262144, Default, "Exit", 1)
        Case "^!{NUMPADDOT}", "^!{DEL}"
            Beep()
        Case Else
            If Not IsDeclared("hotkey") Then Return MsgBox(16 + 262144, Default, "No CASE statement defined for hotkey " & @HotKeyPressed)
            If HotKeySet($hotkey, "_Hotkey") = 0 Then Return MsgBox(16 + 262144, Default, "Hotkey " & $hotkey & " invalid or set by another application.")
    EndSwitch
EndFunc   ;==>_HotKey

While Sleep(100) ; dummy loop
WEnd

For me, DEL is the NUMPADDOT key.

In fact from the key internal coding it is not but you are right the behavior must be the same as Windows do the same.

Jon need to fix the internal behavior to avoid return = 1

Returns a handle to an HBITMAP if $sFileName is empty.

If called with $sFileName then the image is saved to the file and nothing is returned.

Wrong, When a file name is given, Success returns bool True, and failure returns int 0.

I refactored the example for _WinAPI_SetWinEventHook and made it close the script when notepad is closed.  Other changes include use of static and using the function pointer (correct autoit terminology?).  I avoided the use of const because I'm aware that it isn't very popular on these forums.  I put some new lines between code statements to make it easier for beginners to see what's going on in the code.

Edit: I just saw that $hEventHook is declared globally and used as a parameter for _EventProc.  Would this cause issues?

#include <GUIMenu.au3>

  Local Static $g_tRECT, $g_iIndex, $g_hMenu = 0

  Switch $iEvent
    Case $EVENT_SYSTEM_MENUPOPUPSTART
      ; Add "View - Calculator"
      $g_hMenu = _SendMessage($hWnd, $MN_GETHMENU)

      If (_GUICtrlMenu_IsMenu($g_hMenu)) And (StringInStr(_GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText($g_hMenu, 0), "Status Bar")) And (StringInStr(_WinAPI_GetWindowFileName($hWnd), "notepad.exe")) Then
        $g_iIndex = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemCount($g_hMenu)

        _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($g_hMenu, $g_iIndex, "Calculator" & @TAB & ":-)")

        $g_tRECT = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemRectEx($hWnd, $g_hMenu, $g_iIndex)

I don't think so but the example is not working under Windows 8.1 at least, the system menu does contain "Status Bar"

Even if you remove the checking the _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem() is not working

 

I don't know how to correct this example

No, that's wrong. There is no such thing as function pointer in AutoIt.

That term can be used only colloquially here and there and shouldn't stick.

You mean this ?
 

And here my questions arises: 
 
1.
EDIT:

Why is the main page there is a link to all the UDF?

Why in the main page there is no a link to all the UDF?
I mean here:
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/
 


 
2.
Can You add:
 
something like this:
Function Reference

I mean: User Defined Functions
  • Array Management
  • Clipboard Management
  • Color Management
  • ....

 

So go to : https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/

and in the bottom there is now:

Anticipating Errors :  "Any program that accepts data from a user must include code to validate that data before sending it to the data store. You cannot rely on the data store, ...., or even your programming language to notify you of problems. You must check every byte entered by your users, making sure that data is the correct type for its field and that required fields are not empty."
