How to convert GUI scripts to v3.2.12.0

[monoceres]

I am thinking about adding the idea of monoceres into AutoIt3Wrapper and update a script one time when a directive is specified.

I took the original script/idea and created this UDF. Its somewhat faster but could you folfs give it a spin to see if it works as it should be?

Directive will be : #AutoIt3Wrapper_Fix_Includes=y

Which will be reset to "n"when ran to avoid running it each time.

*removed*

Seems to work as expected

Insane speed btw! It's like 20x faster than mine!

Its the exact same logic as you used but just moved a couple of tests to a more logical place, used RegEx and only one "fileopen - write records - fileclose" to speed it up.

I think it makes live a lot easier for many when it runs one time adding the required *constands*.au3 files.

I just made a small "updater" which will search through your scripts and add appropriate includes.

Feel free to change it since it's not very optimized and it could have some problems (Tested on one of my old projects with 400+ lines and worked flawless though)

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>
$script=FileOpenDialog("Choose script that will be fixed",@ScriptDir,"au3 (*.au3)")
$autoitdir=FileSelectFolder("Autoit Include folder","")
If $autoitdir="" Then Exit
If $script="" Then Exit
Global  $includelines, $scriptdata
Global $includestoadd[1], $count=0
$scriptdata=FileRead($script)
$includes=_FileListToArray($autoitdir,"*Constants*.au3")
For $i=1 To Ubound($includes)-1
    _FileReadToArray($autoitdir&"\"&$includes[$i],$includelines)
    For $j=1 To Ubound($includelines)-1
        If StringLeft($includelines[$j],12)="Global Const" Then
            $const=StringMid($includelines[$j],StringInStr($includelines[$j],"$"),StringInStr($includelines[$j],'=')-StringInStr($includelines[$j],"$")-1)
            If StringInStr($scriptdata,$const) Then
                _ArrayAdd($includestoadd,$includes[$i])
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
            
        EndIf
    Next
Next
For $a=1 To UBound($includestoadd)-1
    If StringInStr($scriptdata,"#include <"&$includestoadd[$a]&">")=0 And StringInStr($scriptdata,"#include<"&$includestoadd[$a]&">")=0 And $includestoadd[$a]<>"GUIConstants.au3" Then
        _FileWriteToLine($script,1,"#include <"&$includestoadd[$a]&">")
        $count+=1
    EndIf
Next
MsgBox(0,"Result",$count&" include(s) were added")

DUDE!! This ROCKS!! Now if you could make it change the syntax from say 3.2.9.X to 3.2.10.and up.. LOL Works very well with the constanst too.. Thanks a Bunch!

This is Great Too, Fast!! Thanks Jos & monoceres

Just uploaded a Beta version of AutoIt3Wrapper that has the option build in to add the missing standard Constant include files. http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/..._SciTE4AutoIt3/

Decide to call the directive:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=y

Add that at the top of your script and the UDF to add the Include statements will be ran one time.

Let me know if this can be improved or when you find issue with it.

Thanks

It's an excellent tool which will save lots of time. Thanks Jos and monoceres.

It would be better if it only added missing includes IMO, but that's a very minor issue.

For $j = 1 To UBound($ConstArray) - 1
            If StringRegExp($scriptdata, "(?s)\" & $ConstArray[$j] & "", 0) And _
                Not StringRegExp($scriptdata,"(?i)#include <" & $includes[$i] & ">") Then

I see i forgot to copy a change I did in the earlier posted UDF.

It should have been:

For $i = 1 To UBound($includes) - 1
; don't include GUIConstants.au3
        If $includes[$i] = "GUIConstants.au3" Then ContinueLoop
; Skip already included Include files
        If StringRegExp($scriptdata, "(?s)#include(\s*?)<" & $includes[$i] & ">", 0) Then ContinueLoop
; Get all Constants from include file into Array
        Local $ConstArray
        $ConstArray = StringRegExp(FileRead($INP_AutoitDir & "\include\" & $includes[$i]), "(?i)Global[\s]Const[\s](.*?) = ", 3) 
        For $j = 1 To UBound($ConstArray) - 1

Yes that's better, but I think case insensitivety is useful. The script I tested had

#include <windowsconstants.au3>

and because I didn't have the capital letters the file was added again. When I write from memory I often do not capitalize correctly.

You are right, I've updated the regex by adding (?i) at the beginning.

New version uploaded.

[jennico]

i would like to continue the discussion about the constants.

i also cannot understand the reason why guiconstants.au3 cannot be used anymore. just think of all the example scripts here in the forum or on your hard disk !!! like 80% of them contain guiconstants.au3 !

furthermore there is no sense in changing it, because before everyone could always choose to include all guiconstants or the single control constant or even script without includes by using the values, like i like to do it.

the recent changes are unnecessary and will only cause confusion you can already notice it in the forums.

so please for the next version: re-add the guiconstants please !

just think of all the very useful example scripts that cannot be executed at once without conversions !

The GUIConstants file is still there (for now) but all it does is point to GUIConstantsEX so you might as well just #include GUIConstantsEX instead. As for having all of the other constants files wrapped inside GUIConstants, that was a bad idea right from the start. Read up in the thread for the reasoning behind that. Why would I want to include all of the constants for several control types that I'm not using? It's a simple proceedure to convert them so people may as well do it now.

For one I'm happy they are gone and I would have been happier if they had been gone sooner.

[sulfurious]

Both methods of fixing the includes problem work well. I have made the one by Jos into a little more on-demand version. This way I can open a script, and using Alt+F12 (or what you prefer), simply perform it for the script in question. Added items by Wrapper are at top. Simple.

Here is the script. I compiled it, note the additions to user options. Change paths/names to fit.

Well, I have just uninstalled 3.2.12 and reinstalled v3.2.8.1

. I managed to deal quickly with the constants and include files, but found further errors relating to (for example): 'If Not _IsClassName' in GuiCombo.au3.

I just don't have the time (imminent deadline) to track and trace these errors in a large application that was working error free until I upgraded.

I have bunch of scripts on my HDD in older syntax.

I write new scripts in new 3.2.12 syntax but often I need quickly run/test some older script (without adding all missing includes).

So I finally decided recreate deprecated GUIConstants.au3 which is in my standard INCLUDE folder.

It contains all *constants*.au3 include files. Here it is:

GUIConstants.au3

#include <AVIConstants.au3>
 #include <ButtonConstants.au3>
 #include <ComboConstants.au3>
 #include <Constants.au3>
 #include <DateTimeConstants.au3>
 #include <EditConstants.au3>
 #include <FontConstants.au3>
 #include <GDIPlusConstants.au3>
 #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
 #include <HeaderConstants.au3>
 #include <ImageListConstants.au3>
 #include <IPAddressConstants.au3>
 #include <ListBoxConstants.au3>
 #include <ListViewConstants.au3>
 #include <MemoryConstants.au3>
 #include <MenuConstants.au3>
 #include <ProgressConstants.au3>
 #include <RebarConstants.au3>
 #include <ScrollBarConstants.au3>
 #include <SecurityConstants.au3>
 #include <SliderConstants.au3>
 #include <StaticConstants.au3>
 #include <StatusBarConstants.au3>
 #include <StructureConstants.au3>
 #include <TabConstants.au3>
 #include <ToolbarConstants.au3>
 #include <ToolTipConstants.au3>
 #include <TreeViewConstants.au3>
 #include <UpDownConstants.au3>
 #include <WindowsConstants.au3>

This works very fine for me.

This is the best way of backward compatibility without any problems :-)

EDIT:

I don't worry about BIG size of my compiled EXE file as I use:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y
#obfuscator_parameters=/striponly

--> this will remove unused constants/functions at compilation

Mmmh,

I miss A3Lib ;-)

However,

I copied the old configuration into a directory ..\OLD\.., set up up a verb "Run Old" and a desktop Icon OLD (for drag n drop).

So I can develop with the new version and furtheron run the old examples.

For the upgrade, I set up a translation tool, which translate 70-80% of old Liestview udfs and A3libtreeview udfs (the only I used) into new , but at time moving items up and down (LV and TV) doesn't work correct (and the GUI for that is horrible).

Best regards, Reinhard

Edited August 12, 2008 by ReFran

[ReFran]

Regarding translating old listview statements,

I would love to see new Listview_SetItemText UDFs:

_GUICtrlListView_SetItemTextArray(..)

_GUICtrlListView_SetItemTextString(..)

(compareable to ..._GetItemText.....)

or a "do it all in one" UDF

_GUICtrlListView_SetItemText(..)

which can identify if it get a simple subitem string

or a string, separated with "|", for a total row

or a array for a total row.

This would help a lot in translating old code (simple search-replace - instead of adding lines)

and make also sense for the future because for listviews with up/down sorting option you need it.

Also I think it's not hard to implement. In the old .....SetItemtext it was only a short for loop at the end (if I see that right).

Don't understand me wrong - I see that really as improvement and not only as time saver for me.

Is that the right place here? I'm not sure about that.

Best regards, Reinhard

use -1 for subitem of _GUICtrlListView_SetItemText, see the note in the help.
