OnAutoItExitRegister() in version 3.2.12.1 or earlier

[Belini]

I need to compile a script that works in windows 98 with a function similar to OnAutoItExitRegister() to execute commands when windows is closed but I couldn't find the name of the function used in 2008, does anyone know what it was?

[Andreik]

You mean when the operation system is about to shut down or what windows are you talking about?

@Andreik yes i want to run a function when the operating system is about to shut down.

@pixelsearch I found version 3.2.10.0 and version 3.2.12.0 to download, but I couldn't find Scite to download and OnAutoItExit() still doesn't work, does anyone know where I can download Scite from these versions?

ERROR: OnAutoItExit(): undefined function.
OnAutoItExit("Encerrar")

That part of the English language is unknown to me!

[pixelsearch]

Nicely written Jos, with tact
Bing translates it like this :

@Andreik : Yes, I want to perform a function when the operating system is about to shut down. 

@pixelsearch I found version 3.2.10.0 and version 3.2.12.0 to download, but I couldn't find Scite to download and OnAutoItExit() still doesn't work, does anyone know where I can download Scite from these versions?

[Belini]

@Jos and @pixelsearch I posted in English but my page translator switched to Portuguese when I posted and I didn't notice it.

I got the scite from versions 3.2.10.0 and version 3.2.12.0 but the OnAutoItExit() function is still not recognized.

ERROR: OnAutoItExit(): undefined function.
OnAutoItExit("Encerrar")

 

[Jos]

SciTE plays no role here, so what exactly is the error you get ? Please simple share the full SciTE output pane  information when you run the script!

Script and SciTE output pane

[Jos]

That isn't the SciTE output pane output but rather the au3check output. Likely you do not have the proper definition for au3check , so hence you get this error returned by it. Just disable the au3check and only run the script with autoit3.

[Belini]

The same error continues

Open the Helpfile that comes with the version and you will find that you have the syntax all wrong.

It should be:

Opt("OnExitFunc", "Encerrar")

 

[Belini]

Now it worked, thanks @jos

[argumentum]

... I may be late but, 

Opt("OnExitFunc", "Encerrar") ; OnExitFunc Sets the name of the function called when AutoIt exits (default is OnAutoItExit).

so maybe call the func OnAutoItExit() instead of Encerrar() 🤔

[Belini]

@argumentum  it was the same as suggested to us and it really worked.
