Run AutoIt Debugger from Scite

[Docfxit]

I would like to run the Autoit Debugger with a script I have running in SciTE.

I have two problems.  One is when I hold down the <ALT> key and press "G" the debugger opens the current script but the debugger shows an error window.

I have put this code:

# 35 Stumpii's Graphical Debugger
command.35.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)\AutoIt Debugger\AutoIt Debugger.exe "$(FilePath)"
command.name.35.$(au3)=Graphical Debugger
command.subsystem.35.$(au3)=1
command.save.before.35.$(au3)=1
command.shortcut.35.$(au3)=Alt+G
command.quiet.35.$(au3)=1

at the bottom of the file au3.properties.  I opened au3.properties while in SciTE, Options, Open au3.properties.

The second problem I would like to resolve is: I'd like to find out how to add a button on the same line as the pull down menu bar to run Alt+G.

Thanks,

Docfxit

What's the error? Why is it erroring?

Change the command number to 36 instead of 35 and see if that fixes it. I think the first 35 are reserved for the standard tools.

Changing the command number to 36 solved the error problem.

Thank you very much. That's great,

Does anyone have any idea how to add a button to SciTE ?

Are you talking about the toolbar buttons? If you are, you'd need to add it to the program code of SciTE, then compile it. Otherwise, you can use one of the toolbar scripts that are around, including mine <see link in spoiler in my signature>.

Thank you for sharing the toolbar.

I tried running it.  The buttons don't seem to work.  And it would be nice if it was higher on the page.

Could you please let me know what do I need to do to get it working?

Thank you,

Docfxit

Running: Win7 32bit

SciTE Version 4.1.2

AutoIt v3.3.14.5

[BrewManNH]

Play around with the numbers in this line (line 366 in my script) to adjust the position of the toolbar.

WinMove($hMy_GUI, '', $aScite_pos[0] + 360, $aScite_pos[1] + ($aScite_pos[3] - $SciTE_ClientSize[1] _
                         - 4), $iMy_Gui_Width, $iMy_Gui_Height)

The $aScite_pos[0] is the X position, the $aScite_pos[1] is the Y position of the SciTE window. I have it set to put it on the same plane as the usual toolbar in SciTE, at 100% zoom setting in Windows, so if you're using a different DPI setting, you'll have to adjust it.

[Docfxit]

Re positioning it worked perfectly.    Thank you.

In the console I'm getting this error:

"C:\Dnload\9xAddons\Scitetoolbar_v2_0_1.au3" (216) : ==> Subscript used on non-accessible variable.:
$aCheckBox[$Loop] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($aItems[$Loop][1], 15, $Loop * 20, 96, 14)
$aCheckBox[$Loop] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($aItems^ ERROR

Do you have any ideas what might fix that?

Thanks,

The only thing I can think of is that the INI file isn't being written correctly or being read correctly. Try deleting the INI file associated with this script and let it get rebuilt.

[Docfxit]

Deleting the ini file has solved the problem.  The icon bar runs now.  It's really excellent.  Very nicely done.  I love it. :-)

1. I'd like to know how to make it run every time I edit a script.  Everytime SciTE opens.

2. What do I need to do to add an icon the executes Alt+g with a title of Debugger?

Thank you,

Docfxit

Sorry if I jump in here,

I have been working with Autoit Years ago, then paused, and recently started scripting with it again. As far as I remember, there used to be a debugger, but I could not find it in the current version. I tried one or two external programs, but was not very happy with them

Do you have a working debugger for AutoIt, and, if yes, where can I learn more about it?

Thx, Armin

[Docfxit]

I am not an expert with AutoIt.  I use this debugger:

 

Enjoy...

Could it be you used AutoIt2 many moons ago, which had some internal debugging options?
AutoIt3 never had any internal debugging functions other then the Tray debug option.

I created a startup script that starts SciTE and then starts the toolbar executable, basically 2 Run() commands in a script should do it.

Look in the INI file that this script creates, and modify it as needed. I made it so that you don't need to modify the script to add/delete commands and icons to the toolbar.

[Docfxit]

I'm trying to figure out the SciteToolbar.ini.

It looks like there are 3 sections that need to be created for a new button.

The first one under the title:

[Buttons]

Compile.ico=Compile

Looks like the icon name relating to the icons in \bin folder

and the text name of the button

The second section under the title:

[Tools]

Compile=301

Looks like the button text name

and a number (I don't know where it is assigned)

The third section under the title:

[ToolBar]

301=Compile.ico|Compile

Has the number (I don't know where it is assigned)

The icon file name

The icon text name

 

The only mystery I need to figure out is the number and how it's assigned (created for a new function).

 

[BrewManNH]

Ok, took me a while to go back through the code and figure out what I did. It's been about 5 years since I've looked at this script at all. 

The first section of the INI file, [button] are the icons used for the buttons, and their names.

The second section, [tools], are the SciTE command numbering system, see the SciTEConstants.au3 file for the list of ID numbers and the name that SciTE has for those IDs. Any ID number above 1100 are user created menu items, such as the 1103 item, which will start the syntax checker for AutoIt, AU3Check for example.

The third section is the actual buttons used on the toolbar itself. This section won't get created until you run the options selection for the first time and select "Apply and Restart". This section contains the command message ID and the Icon file used for it,grabbed from the tools section, and the name/tooltip info for the button, grabbed from the buttons section.

 

If you want to change any of the buttons, and what they do, you'll need to first pick an Icon for it, assign that .ico file and name for it and put that in the buttons section of the INI file, then you want to take the name you gave it as the key in the tools section and assign the menu ID you want to use to it as the value of that key. Third, you'd need to change the toolbar section using the 2 items combined above.

Sounds a lot more complicated than it is. Here's your example using Stummpi's debugger above.

Quote

This gets added to the SciteUser.properties file:

# 36 Stumpii's Graphical Debugger
command.36.$(au3)=$(autoit3dir)\AutoIt Debugger\AutoIt Debugger.exe "$(FilePath)"
command.name.36.$(au3)=Graphical Debugger
command.subsystem.36.$(au3)=1
command.save.before.36.$(au3)=1
command.shortcut.36.$(au3)=Alt+G
command.quiet.36.$(au3)=1

In the scitetoolbar.ini file you can do this (I'm changing the default "Run with Beta" button and making it run the debugger instead):

[Buttons]
Run.ico=Run
Compile.ico=Compile
Help.ico=AutoIt Helpfile
SyntaxCheck.ico=SyntaxCheck
RunWithBeta.ico=Run Debugger
CompileWithBeta.ico=Compile with Beta
BetaHelp.ico=Beta AutoIt Helpfile
 

[Tools]
Run=303
Compile=301
AutoIt Helpfile=901
SyntaxCheck=1103
Run Debugger=1136

 

[ToolBar]
bar=
303=Run.ico|Run
301=Compile.ico|Compile
901=Help.ico|AutoIt Helpfile
bar=
1103=SyntaxCheck.ico|SyntaxCheck
1136=RunWithBeta.ico|Run Debugger
 

Those 3 changes should be all that's needed to run it from the toolbar.

[Docfxit]

That's really super. 

How does SciTE know that 1136 needs to run what I have in the SciteUser.properties file?

That's really nice of you to give me the explanation.

Thanks,

Docfxit

[BrewManNH]

You'll have to ask someone else how Scite does the decoding of your user function declarations to make them work. All I know is that if the number is above 1100 then Scite looks for a command.## that corresponds to that.

[Jos]

That is describe somewhere in the documentation which is about usershortcuts. Believe it is 1100 + the number in command.xx
