keep '#include' au3 file editable after compiling main exe

[alankam58]

i wanted to have a open function, where i can edit it when there are change.

the main script will call the function from an editable .au3 file.

That's not how compiled executables work. They need to know how to call a function while running, and that includes a fixed location of the function. To be thread-safe the location (memory address) needs to be within the space allocated to the executable. 

I went down a similar path myself when trying to update a set of arrays without recompiling. The best I could do was read an *.ini file to populate the arrays.

If you want dynamic functionality, you have two choices that I see: 1) call shell scripts or other executables from within AutoIt (see Run, RunWait, ShellExecute and ShellExecuteWait functions), or 2) more ambitiously, create your own scripting language and write an interpreter that takes a file as input.

here in this link you can find an example 209408-traytipgui-to-send-a-message-to-the-tray 

 How do I use in Example.au3 (which can also be compiled into Exe file),  and call the Tip() function from TrayTipGUI.au3  which is editable Autoit3 file
