Auto3Lib

[PaulIA]

I have... i downloaded today....

Here part from install:

Then you need to install Auto3Lib using the custom directory you have specified for AutoIt. AutoIt by default installs in the "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3" directory. You've changed yours to install on your D: drive. So when you install Auto3Lib, make sure you also specify "D:\Program Files\AutoIt3" during the installation.

Edit: Better yet, it's almost certain that you've got multiple versions of AutoIt/Auto3Lib on you machine. Uninstall them all and install AutoIt and Auto3Lib using their default ("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3") locations.

I'm having problems with pictures assigning pictures using GuiCtrlCreatePic() and I think it might be related to my _GDI_Shutdown() not working properly (it returns "0").

This is the code:

Func _ChangeDesktopBackground($path) 
    _GDI_StartUp()
    $hImage = _GDI_LoadFromFile($path)
    $file = StringSplit($path, '.')
    $sCLSID = _GDI_GetEncoderClsID("BMP")
    _GDI_SaveToFile($hImage, @WindowsDir & '\xwall.bmp', $sCLSID)
    ConsoleWrite("_GDI_DisposeImage success = " & _GDI_DisposeImage($hImage) & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("_GDI_ShutDown() success = " & _GDI_ShutDown() & @CRLF)
        Sleep(250)
        DllCall('User32.dll', 'int', 'SystemParametersInfo', 'int', 20, 'int', 0, 'string', @WindowsDir & '\xwall.bmp', 'int', 0)
EndFunc

Whenever I run this I end up with the Console showing "True" @CRLF "0"

Am I not disposing of the image correctly? Is there another way to delete an image from the _GDI?

_GDI_ShutDown isn't returning the correct value on success. It always returns False. Run your code and print @Error after calling _GDI_ShutDown. If it's 0, then the call was successful. I'll change the code to return True when the call is successful for the next release. Thanks for reporting this.

Edit: You've got some problems with the SystemParametersInfo call here. Take a look at the Wallpaper.au3 demo in the Auto3Lib Misc folder. The ChangeWallpaper function shows how to change the wallpaper using SystemParametersInfo.

I'm still encountering the same problem, and I'm pretty sure that it's related to the wallpaper function (I'm using the one you suggested in the post above).

I have a toolbar with several different images on it. One of these images will be set to the wallpaper background but then the same image will not appear on the toolbar because GuiCtrCreatePic() returns 0 (because it can't create the picture, I've made the sure the directory is correct).

Then, within the script, I change the background. Then I delete then recreate the toolbar GUI and now both the prior window's image is not shown and the current wallpaper is not shown. So if I were to change the image again it would make another blank space on the toolbar.

I hope I am making this clear, if not please say so and I'll include some pictures to illustrate what I am trying to say.

Do you have any ideas what might be causing this?

EDIT: I added a _GDI_DisposeImage() and all is working correctly!

That would do it. I'm not sure why the Wallpaper demo works, but it definitely should have this too. I'll add it for the next release. Thanks for following up on this.

Release 4.0.3

This release updates the help file with examples up to the Time functions.

[Hostage]

I see on page 25 a discussion about setting individual listview item's colors... did anyone ever write a function to set individual tree view item colors? I'm running up hard against AutoIt's control limit in a program, but the individual treeview node's colors are essential to it. Thanks!

[JavaScript_Freek]

Where can I find A3LMenu.au3?

[PaulIA]

Where can I find A3LMenu.au3?

Download Auto3Lib from the first post in this thread or from the Downloads section (upper right hand corner of your screen).

[JavaScript_Freek]

I did that already but I get that that I need the file. Au3Menu.au3

[DaleHohm]

If you downloaded the file to a floppy and then put the floppy in your toaster, then it is understandable that AutoIt can't find it.

If that is not what you've done, perhaps you should share more details about where you put the file, how you are trying to access it and exactly what error message you receive.

I did that already but I get that that I need the file. Au3Menu.au3

You are looking for the file A3LMenu.au3, not Au3Menu.au3. Trust me, I wrote it. If you install Auto3Lib using the default installation location, this file will be in "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include" along with the other AutoIt include files.

Release 4.0.4

This release has an update to the TreeView 1 demo that shows a simple method for coloring the individual TreeView nodes. I have plans for a more robust way of doing this in the future, but you can use this for proof of concept until then. I also discovered a small bug in TreeView_Expand where it was trying to expand a node with no children, resulting in a delay.

Hi,

I add a new Column and SubItem to a other Program.

I use this in
#Obfuscator_off
AdlibEnable("auto", 700)
#Obfuscator_on

It works fine, but when I close the other Program, the script close with

_Mem_CtrlInit: Invalid window handle passed [0x000602C6]

(Not always, but now and then.)

What can I do?

Edit:

Now I write the Handle in a *. ini.

But there remains the same one!

That's fantastic, thank you so very much.
