Hi,

fantastic Jon! I'm glad to see that Autoit is that good - and you can be in the lap of luxury to think about the speed and performance improvment.

So long,

Mega

3.2.9.0 (12th September, 2007) (Beta)

- Added: ControlTreeView().

LONG overdue functionality. Have a play with it and see if it works ok and suggest extra functions I can add to it. At the moment it has the basic select, gettext, check, uncheck ones.

[Jon]

3.2.9.1 (18th September, 2007) (Beta)

- Added: SendKeepActive().

- Added: More commands for ControlTreeView().

- Fixed: _GUICtrlListViewInsertColumn() after _GUICtrlListViewDeleteColumn() of the first column of a ListView control. (Thanks Antiec, gafrost)

[jvanegmond]

Jon, that new SendKeepActive function workes miracles. Thanks!

3.2.9.2 (30th September, 2007) (Beta)

Major update to MANY GUI UDFs and additional UDFs merging UDFs from Paul Campbell (PaulIA) Auto3Lib project. (gafrost). Big thanks to Gary and Paul

- Changed: PCRE regular expression engine updated to 7.4.

- Added: ProcessGetStats().

- Fixed: Extra notification on colored button. (Thanks livewire)

- Fixed: IniReadSectionNames() for [] sections. (Thanks DavidFarner)

The UDFs have caused a significant increase in the installer and zip sizes. Might need to have a discussion about this.

OMG, the helpfile examples take up 8MB.

[jvanegmond]

Jon, about the UDFs.

I am thinking of an UDF manager, like the Dev-C++'s packman WebUpdate. All the UDFs will be stored online, and easily downloaded by the end user. What do you think?

Jon,

ProcessGetStats points to ProcessExists in the helpfile for the v3.2.9.2 (beta).

Hi,

I also like the idea of a core Autoit and some modules.

THANKS Gary for creating all the UDFs!

So long,

OMG, the helpfile examples take up 8MB.

The helpfile is 3Mb bigger and hardly compressable, the examples compress to about 1.3 Mb.

One idea could be to create an full installer with UDF's only for Productions versions and separate the Beta installers, creating one for AutoIt and one for the UDF. The only issue with that is the integrated SciTE definition updates....

The current UDF library has grown to 1150+ Functions and include Structures.

I like to Thank Paul for allowing to use his work done and available in Auto3Lib and of course Gary who has performed an immense task integrating it into the standard UDF library and creating all the helpfile documents and preparing the examples.

In case anyone asks what happened to the old functions, these have been deprecated.

They should still work, but when the user can they should start using the new functions.

With as many functions as was done there may have been some things missed that can be added in at a later time.

I've always thought that it should be handled that way and also Scite4AutoIt etal should be third party files.

See the way its handled under Third Party Files on this page

http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

The Includes are a separate link (in this case because they are written by an individual) but the concept is still solid.

Remember when you could put AutoIt on a floppy?

[Zedna]

@Garry: That's amazing big work!! Thanks. It's pitty that it's not backward compatible but in this case it make sense this is the best solution.

About HelpFile size: I noticed in all ListView helpfile examples is huge unneccessary/commented debug code in WM_NOTIFY.

This debug WM_NOTIFY code can be  mentioned once in "GuiListView Management.htm" and not in all GUOListView functions.

In examples should be only code related to mentioned function.

In TreeView and others UDFs is it similar but code overhead is not so big as in ListView UDF.

[Zedna]

Remember when you could put AutoIt on a floppy?

Man! In these days much of computers don't have floppy anymore.

USB sticks are GIGA sized, new HDDs under 80GB doesn't exist.

So 3MB difference make no big sense today.

But I think it will not be problem if Standard UDFs (whole include directory with UDFs3.chm) will be as separate download file (zip/installer).
