alright, i got the lib to work fine :D

What I am wonder about though, is the color.

it seems that the color is all off, is this normal?

What you're referring to is image quality. That depends on the type of image and the parameters you are using. BMP has best color, biggest file for example. Use Auto3Lib and take a BMP screen shot and then compare that to a screen shot take with a commercial app like HyperSnap. Looks the same to me. :)

Also, if I want to write a screenshot app with performance in mind, what language would you recommend ?

AutoIt is no speed demon, that's for sure, but it's amazing what you can do with it. Run this for some timing tests:

#include <A3LScreenCap.au3>

DoTest("BMP")
DoTest("GIF")
DoTest("JPG")
DoTest("PNG")
DoTest("TIF")

Func DoTest($sExt)
  Local $iI, $iTime

  $iTime = TimerInit()
  for $iI = 1 to 10
    _ScreenCap_Capture("c:\test" & $iI & "." & $sEXT)
  next
  ConsoleWrite("10 " & $sEXT & ".: " & TimerDiff($iTime) & @CR)
EndFunc
If you want brute speed, use something like C++

The Auto3Lib library contains a suite of over 1200 functions written in AutoIt. These functions expose the full Windows API calls for use in AutoIt and are designed primarily for the advanced AutoIt p

I had an initial problem with the library scripts because the installer put them into a different place than the regular AutoIT folder. So it didn't mix the old and new scripts together. I keep both folders on my computer anyways, since the examples in the Help File point to those older scripts. The only thing is that I have to full qualify the include, since I am not saving my scripts into those folders. 

#include <C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\A3LEventLog.au3>

The Auto3Lib installer prompts your for the location of your AutoIt directory during the installation. If you have installed AutoIt using the default paths, this is "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3". If you have installed AutoIt using a non standard installation directory, then you need to point the Auto3Lib installer to where ever your AutoIt3 directory resides.

This is not a problem with Auto3Lib and you'll experience the same results with any include files you use. If you don't install them in the AutoIt Include directory, you have to fully qualify the include file name. This is explained in the AutoIt help file under the #include section.

Hi PailIA.

I just used your library in my large work script/program (for treeview manipulation) and it's really GREAT :)

All is working fine - so no problem to report here.

Only one little cosmetic in description/comment for _Listbox_FindTextExact():

; Description ..: Find the first string in a list box that begins with the exact specified stringoÝ÷ ÚÈhºW[y«­¢+ØìÍÉ¥ÁÑ¥½¸¸¸è¥¹Ñ¡¥ÉÍÐÍÑÉ¥¹¥¸±¥ÍнàѡС̥ÐÌäíÌÑáÐáѱäѡ͵ÌÍÁ¥¥ÍÑÉ¥¹
It's not "it's", but "its" in " that has its text" ... :D

This is related to a feature removed in the latest beta. You'll have to use the previous beta for now, or wait until the lib is updated work around it.

*shuffles around in an apologetic manner*

:D

It could have been worse. You could have decided to remove DllCall. Then what would I do for "fun"? :D Oh well, maybe someday the dot notation will sneak itself back into the syntax when nobody is looking. :)

one has to laugh; congrats for all the efforts against all odds; even the people helping you are a problem.. oh well.....

You just have to keep telling yourself: "You're doing this for fun. You're doing this for fun."

Seriously though, I've got to give Jon a lot of credit. I write commercial software for a living and it's tough to make the right call every time, especially when your gut tells you one thing and your users tell you another. He's right to stick with his instincts, no matter how big a pain in the ass it is to the rest of us. :)

I'm going to remove the "For" keyword.

Removing "For" in what context? The only ones I know are For...Next and For...In...Next -- you certainly don't mean that do you?

Stop it. You're scarying the children...

Well with this kind of crazy talk, the next thing you know he's going to remove the GoTo keyword as well...
