Hi, @Arcker!

I'd love to see an example of yours which runs faster!; was it from the versions before @PaulIA changed everything!?; because it is currently very slow; he changed some sort of "structure"?; I wait for him to fix the newer version to test it again!

see post 391 above for the slowness!

Hi, @Arcker!

I'd love to see an example of yours which runs faster!; was it from the versions before @PaulIA changed everything!?; because it is currently very slow; he changed some sort of "structure"?; I wait for him to fix the newer version to test it again!

I've already stated that the current implementation of the Auto3Lib ListView is slower due to implementing the _tag... structure. I've also stated that I am converting to the new AutoIt Struct convention. It's not a "fix", it's a preference. I choose to implement the _tag... structure for several reasons, all of which can be found in this thread.

I'm going to put an end to this "speed" thing that's going on here. I have never said that Auto3Lib was faster than anything. In fact, since I don't like to write one liners with half a dozen function calls in them, it's probably going to be a tad slower. Speed was never a design criteria when I wrote Auto3Lib (and never will be). If Auto3Lib is slower than something else you have, by all means, use something else.

I think we're about done with this subject.

Hi Paul

sorry I didn't want to increase the polemic

what i wanted to say is not about speed, but more about Lib possibilities than AutoIt implemented structure.

sorry for the misunderstanding randallc.

subject closed.

I'm wait too for the new version of your library, but it will be really hard to adapt to new ones, because i just love your _tag structure.

hi guys, i've got a problem with _NetShare_NetShareEnum()

the problem is posted here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42825

so, how can i log on to the server? and were is NetShare demo?

thx for help!!

k, it doesn't work... with _WNet_AddConnection(), _WNet_AddConnection2() and _WNet_AddConnection3() the demo file always returns error code 53. what does this mean? am i doing something wrong?

i just entered an ip address into the demo file and removed the ";" in front of the function calls...

MSDN says this about error 53:

// MessageId: ERROR_BAD_NETPATH

//

// MessageText:

//

// The network path was not found.

//

#define ERROR_BAD_NETPATH 53

Might want to look at the demo again. Especially this part:

;======================================================================================

; NOTE: Change the settings below to match YOUR network or nothing will work!!!

;======================================================================================

In order to use the demo you need to change the network constants to reflect shares/servers on your network.

ok. i just needed to set a share name. but the script is to check if there are shared resources, so i don't know the names of the shares. any1 got an idea how to solve this?

You're really making this more difficult than it needs to be. The WNet calls are for connecting a local resource to a network share, not for enumerating network shares. You need to be using the network share functions in A3LNetShare (specifically _NetShare_NetShareEnum) to find shares on a server. Run the NetShare demo in the Examples folder to see how it works.

[RìggníX]

thats exactly my problem. i tried it with _NetShare_NetShareEnum() but just got results of the computer the script is running on. so i was told to connect to the remote computer i'm trying to scan.

[PaulIA]

So what exactly are you trying to do? You seem to be trying to do something to a server where you don't know the share names and don't have a logon account for the domain where the server resides.

[RìggníX]

i'm tryin to make a network manager, so i just want to get the number of shares on a remote computer.

No problem. Then the _NetShare_NetShareEnum() is what you want to use. If you're making a network manager, then you obviously have the required credentials? Per the MSDN documentation:

Administrator, Power User, Print Operator, or Server Operator group membership is required to successfully execute the NetShareEnum function

[RìggníX]

i'm using the program on a administrator account. but it simply doesn't work. the demo file doesn't display an error message and @error = 0.

Listen, you need to get past "it simply doesn't work" and try to figure out what you're doing wrong. I just did a VPN into my company and ran the NetShare demo against a server in my domain and it works fine. The output of the demo has the following sections:

NetConnectionEnum - Number of active connections from my workstation to the server

NetEnumFile - A list of files that I currently have open on the server

NetSessionEnum - Information about the session I have with the server

NetShareEnum - A list of all shares on the server

NetStatisticsGetSvr - Stats on the server

NetStatisticsGetWrk - Stats on my workstation

I have a server call "Test" in my domain and when I run the demo, I type in "\\Test" for the server name and just leave the share name as "D Drive" and I get all of the information about the server and my workstations connection to that server.

i'm using the program on a administrator account. but it simply doesn't work. the demo file doesn't display an error message and @error = 0.

adminstrator of the remote computer or your local computer ?

as PaulIA said, you need to be more explicit

are you in a domain ?

what kind of account do you use ?

send here the part where you use the function and what you attempt to do

because for me it works too

please give more information, your problem doesn't seem to be really a big problem, we just need details

[RìggníX]

ok, now it works well, thx for help!

my only mistake with NetShare_NetShareEnum() was that i forgot the double backslash...

thx guys

• Header controls
• IPAddress controls
• Listbox controls
• ListView controls
• Menus
• Month Calendar controls
• ProgressBar controls
• StatusBar controls

Dear PaulIA,

This is one of the greatest collections of useful-functions I have come across so far.

Thank you so much for the wonderful creation - Auto3Lib.

Am new to the forum. My last reply was accidental. Please excuse me. Dont know how to remove the same from the forum.

Regarding.... http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43276 ...

PAULIA..I ran the demo script only through SCITE..hovered the mouse to the column all I got in the text: field is the title of the application and not the tooltip.. and nothing else...!! This information I saw it in SCITE's INFO window..!!

I opened the AUTO3LIB Help file.. but can't see any content in the file. it is say page cannot be displayed...I can just see the index in the left side of the help file..!!

In Auto3LIB there is a function called _ToolTip_GetText ..I'm not sure how to go about calling this function????

Can you help me out as getting the values from the tooltip is an important process..!!

Awaiting your response!

Thanks!

Thanks!

First, there are two ListView demos. One just exercises the various calls for a ListView control and the other captures the ToolTips from Explorer. I assume that you are running the correct demo?

Second, I assume you know that when you run the demo, the Explorer window that is opened has to be the active window and you are suppose to hover your mouse over the items in Explorer (like your C: drive)? When you do, the demo will print out the ToolTip that is displayed in the SciTE console. This demonstrates what you asked for: How to capture the text from a ToolTip control. If you study the demo script, you will then be able to apply this same technique to solve your problem.

Third, I have not heard anybody but you say the help file doesn't work. If it is copied in the same directory as the AutoIt help file (which is "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3"), it works. If the help file doesn't work for you, it may be something specific to your system.

Fourth, you need to tone down your posts if you expect help. Yelling at me (using upper case), multiple exclaimation points and question marks does not motivate me to help you in any shape, form or fashion.
