Background process

[Golfboy]

My thread got locked, unfrotunately. So here another thread without "game automation".

 

I have been looking for a program that can keep my other programs up to date and I found AutoIt. I have no coding experience. I can just read it a little bit so it was quite hard to actually get something done but after watching a few videos I finally got it working!

Especially the zip part was quite hard since I dont understand what I have to do with the "Zip UDF premade concepts" that users provide. At the end I just did it with Mouseclicks.

 

So now the prgram is working as you can see in the video but I would like to do this in the background. It's not really important for this task but I would like to create more with AutoIt since I think the program is fantastic!

 

so my question is: How can I improve my code and get it to the background so I can do other stuff while AutoIt is busy?

 

Here is the video for the code and how it works.

Hurry change your question more or Yoda the Ban Hammer will lock it again.

But why....

 

there is nothing about game automation. I'm just asking how I can improve the code and how I can get the process to the background

You should read the forum rules, particularly this section --

Do not repost the same question if the previous thread has been locked - particularly if you merely reword the question to get around one of the prohibitions listed above.

Funny you now say you create a thread with game automation  while you stated before in PM it wasn't about game automation at all.
Nikolas92 is right about not re-opening a thread on the same topic in general, but I will let this go as long as it is about general software updates.

@Jos

Sorry I meant Another threah but this time without Game automation. My English is not great.

 

Thanks that the thread can stay

This is the second or third time I have seen you posting like this - not sure if you're under the mistaken impression that it's clever or funny. Continue with this and and you can personally experience the hammer.

Second, dont care about impression. Since I rarely get useful answers on my questions I dont really care whose 'hammer' I will get, not much will change...

Attack is the best defense approach?

7 days to think about that last post whether that is the way you want to continue here or not.

Kijk, dat is nu nog eens makkelijk

 

How many times a day (If this is even allowed) can I up the thread? Didn't find a rule about this in the forum rules.

Hi @Golfboy,

you may have a look at forum netiquette too: http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_proper_forum_etiquette.3F_What_rules_are_there_for_the_forum.3F

But even there I didn’t find a clear statement about bumping posts. I’m using this forum for a long time and I saw a lot of times admins ask for not bumping posts within 24 hours. So wait a day and you’ll be fine I think.

But this does not mean you aren’t allowed to give updates. If you found out something you didn’t post before but could be important for answering feel free to post. While experimenting yourself with your problem and narrowing it is important for the community too. 

If you have something relevant to add post it. If not wait 24 hours. We are a lot of people here but sometimes the one who can answer the question is offline for some days.

Got this currently! Its getting bigger and bigger

 

So instead of Mouseclick and Send I changed everything to ControlClick and ControlSend except 2. Those are for the Save As dialog in Internet Explorer. For some reason I can't do it with controlclick. It just highlights it... EDIT: Now it highlights and with 2x down and enter it also works. No Mouseclicks anymore!

 

I also have inserted WinWait. When the page is finished loading the automation goes on which is fantastic! Unfortunately the page sometimes still loads while AutoIt thinks it's finished. This is why I put Sleep in it.

 

I didn't hide the whole thing yet. I think It's kinda pointless here because it's short anyways + I found out that with ControlClick (and I hide the automation) I can do other stuff while AutoIt is busy. But if I add ControlSend and I have to type something while the Process is running then I ruin it... Gotta find something for this.

 

thanks @Simpel, I will bump it once a day then

 

Some quick translation:

Opslaan als = Save as

Uitpakken = unzip (extract)

Verkenner = explorer

 

Edit:

Ask for a video to see what everything does if the script isn't clear!
