myksharma Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 How can I define a specific directory in @scriptdir. I'm trying to recompile an .au3 that was written by somebody else. Now I need to edit the @scriptdir at every reference which is kind of annoying. Appreciate it someone could assist in this!

myksharma Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 thanks JohnOne but that'd not really solve my purpose. I'd want to know how the @scriptdir is declared so I can use it in other .au3's as well.

myksharma Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Let me explain the scenario a bit. This is what I've at the moment-- $GUIFont = IniRead("C:UsersXXXXXXDesktopCode1" & 'DialogControl.ini', 'GUIControl', 'GUIFont', 'Tahoma') How I want it to look like-- $GUIFont = IniRead(@ScriptDir & 'DialogControl.ini', 'GUIControl', 'GUIFont', 'Tahoma') So I'd like to how is this @ScriptDir is declared.. thanks in advance..
guinness Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 It's a macro, it can't be changed as your script location is static until moved. Look at @WorkingDir and FileChangeDir() instead.

myksharma Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks Guinness. How can I get it to work as a dynamic one then? To give you a background I'm using this .au3 compiled executable for OS Deployment purpose & when the executable runs it doesn't read from the subsections given in the dialog.ini file. If you could share some URL's that I can go through to make it, that'll be high appreciated.
jguinch Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 @ScriptDir is a dynamic macro. If you move your script, @ScriptDir changes too. Spoiler Network configuration UDF, _DirGetSizeByExtension, _UninstallList Firefox ConfigurationArray multi-dimensions, Printer Management UDF
JohnOne Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I'm still a bit confused as to what you actually need. You understand that @ScriptDir means the location from where your exe or code is located when ran?

myksharma Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Yes I got that from the Helpfile. however I'd like to know how to incorporate this macro in the .au3. Do I need to declare the @Scriptdir location somewhere before I use it in my code or it'll automatically use the executable location on the fly. If it takes on the fly, then probably it's not working as expected in my case.
JohnOne Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 It.s on the fly if I understand you correctly. Compile this script, and run it from different locations on you machine. MsgBox(0, "You ran me from", @ScriptDir) AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
myksharma Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Snip from my code-- ; Get WMI section Font and Colors from INI $WMIFontColor = IniRead(@ScriptDir & 'DialogControl.ini', 'GUIControl', 'WMIFontColor', '0x646464') $GUIFont = IniRead(@ScriptDir & 'DialogControl.ini', 'GUIControl', 'GUIFont', 'Tahoma') this is from the dialogcontrol.ini [GUIControl] WMIFontColor=0xFFFFFF GUIFont=Tahoma When I run the program, it doesn't show these fonts & colors.
Jfish Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 This may be a silly question but is the DialogControl.ini file located in the same directory as your script? If not, it won't be read. Build your own poker game with AutoIt: pokerlogic.au3 | Learn To Program Using FREE Tools with AutoIt
myksharma Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Is there anything that's required other than keeping the file in the scripts directory. For instance, anything to tick during compilation..
JohnOne Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 No. Perhaps you should create a small runnable reproducer script. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
Jfish Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) The approach works fine for me. Make sure you are reading in the ini values by adding ConsoleWrite($WMIFontColor) and ConsoleWrite($GUIFont) after the iniread call. Then make sure you are actually using those variables after they are read like this: GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 17, 400, 0, $GUIFont) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, $WMIFontColor) #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> ; Get WMI section Font and Colors from INI $WMIFontColor = IniRead(@ScriptDir & '\colors.ini', 'GUIControl', 'WMIFontColor', '0x646464') ConsoleWrite($WMIFontColor) $GUIFont = IniRead(@ScriptDir & '\colors.ini', 'GUIControl', 'GUIFont', 'Tahoma') ConsoleWrite($GUIFont) #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 615, 437, 192, 124) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("This is some text", 96, 152, 184, 33) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("This is some text", 96, 152, 184, 33) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 17, 400, 0, $GUIFont) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, $WMIFontColor) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Edited June 6, 2014 by Jfish Build your own poker game with AutoIt: pokerlogic.au3 | Learn To Program Using FREE Tools with AutoIt
iamtheky Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) You put it in the same folder with the executable, and probably dont care what that folder is, so how about not using scriptdir at all , just: iniread( "colors.ini." , ...)

myksharma Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 I've tried re-checking the code but I really don't know what is not making it to run. looks to be a silly thing, probably someone could have a look & suggest!
