Country73 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Maybe I'm missing something here, but I wasn't able to locate what I'm looking for after searching the Forum. I'm using AutoIT v3.3.0.0 and SciTE v1.77. I just recently downloaded the ExcelCOM_UDF.au3, placed it in the Includes folder with the rest of the au3 files, and was curious if there's some sort of configuration that I need to go through so that SciTE recognizes all of the commands. Generally whenever you enter: _ExcelWriteSheetFromArray( You will get a drop-down display to show what fields to enter. SciTE does not recognize _ExcelSort, as one example, so I have to open up the ExcelCOM_UDF.au3 to identify what parameters to use for _ExcelSort. Is there some sort of setup I need to go through for it to recognize this and a few of the other functions? I hope I'm explaining this correctly. I'm not familiar with using UDF's, this is actually the first time I've downloaded a UDF to use, since I've generally been able to get by with using the ones that are installed with AutoIT. Any help / point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Moderators Melba23 Posted January 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2009 Country73,2 things to do in SciTE.Use the Tools - UserCallTip menu item to get the au3.usercall.tips.api onscreen. Then add whatever you want to it. Save. Close SciTE and reopen. You get the parameter list!Then use Options - Open au3.keywords.properties to get the au3.keywords.properties on screen. Scroll down to the au3.keywords.keywords section (it will be about line 547) and add the function names to the section ABOVE. Put them in lowercase and do not forget to add the "\" if you have to start a new line. Then go through the save, close, restart procedure again. Now SciTE will give you autocomplete when you start typing the UDF function name in a script!If you want to automate the process, you might like to look at this script I put together:CODE#Region#AutoIt3Wrapper_icon=M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\SciTE Utils\CallTip\UCTMan.ico#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Obfuscator=y#Obfuscator_Parameters=/SO#EndRegion#Region ;

Melba23, Starting to look at the steps you provided. (Feeling like a total noob here) "au3.user.calltips.api" is loaded into SciTE, which is currently showing a blank page. *I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "add whatever you want to it" in regard to the "au3.user.calltips.api". "au3.keywords.properties" is loaded into SciTE, which shows a lot of data. I was able to locate 'au3.keywords.keywords' on line 562, which displays: au3.keywords.keywords=and byref case const continuecase continueloop default dim \ do else elseif endfunc endif endselect endswitch endwith enum exit exitloop false \ for func global if in local next not or redim return select step switch then to true \ until wend while with BUT, while looking over the "au3.keywords.properties" page, it would appear that I should be adding the functions into the: "au3.keywords.udfs" section of the file. First line in that section begins with: au3.keywords.udfs=$array = _excelreadarray $oexcel = _excelbooknew $oexcel = _excelbookopen \ $string = _excelsheetnameget $val = _excelreadcell _arrayadd _arraybinarysearch _arraycombinations \ etc...\ If you try to fail and succeed which have you done?AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted January 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2009 Country73,OK, usercalltips.api first:Add a line to the page for each function you want to add:_Function($param1, $param2, $param3) Explanation of function (Requires: #Include <UDF.au3>)You need to change the Function, $param and UDF words to the correct values for the UDF function you want to include.Next, au3.keywords.properties. Read what I wrote. I said put the names into the section ABOVE au3.keywords.keywords, which is indeed au3.keywords.udfs. But as you need to add the new words at the end, it is easier to look for the beginning of the next section!And replying for Jos, the answer is: Yes!M23  Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireFox Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) @Melba23 Perhaps I havnt understood your reply, Ive done what youve written and it works. but where can I make the tooltip when Ive finished to write my name function and written the '(' ?

Moderators Melba23 Posted January 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2009 FireFox,The UserToolTip - the magic helping hand when you have entered the function name and the opening "(" - should come up automatically if you have correctly entered a valid tooltip into the au3.user.calltips.api as explained above. Have you closed and reopened SciTE? As far as I can tell, the .api is only loaded on start, so updates do not appear until then.As for colour, all I get is the next parameter in blue, rather than grey.

Moderators Melba23 Posted January 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2009 FireFox,That is the au3.keywords.properties part of the trick. SciTE looks in this file to see which words it should colour according to the config you have set. So if you add the function name here as explained above it should then highlight automatically like all the other UDF functions.

Country73 Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 @M23thanks no, i mean color function, like _IsPressed is blue ... Cheers, FireFox.After going through those steps, the function that I was focused on '_ExcelSort' now shows up as blue.I may have gone overboard in my api setup, but I put in the full description along with the function/variables.My api looks like this now:;===============================================================================;; Description: Performs a simplified sort on a range.; Syntax: _ExcelSort($oExcel, $sKey, $sRangeOrRowStart, $iColStart = 1, $iRowEnd = 1, $iColEnd = 1, $iDirection = 2); Parameter(s): $oExcel - An Excel object opened by a preceding call to _ExcelBookOpen() or _ExcelBookNew(); $sKey - The key column or row to sort by (a letter for column, a number for row); $sRangeOrRowStart - Either an A1 range, or an integer row number to start from if using R1C1; $iColStart - The starting column for the number format(left) (default=1); $iRowEnd - The ending row for the number format (bottom) (default=1); $iColEnd - The ending column for the number format (right) (default=1); $iDirection - Sort direction (1=Ascending, 2=Descending) (default=descending); Requirement(s): None; Return Value(s): On Success - Returns 1; On Failure - Returns 0 and sets @error on errors:; @error=1 - Specified object does not exist; @error=2 - Starting row or column invalid; @extended=0 - Starting row invalid; @extended=1 - Starting column invalid; @error=3 - Ending row or column invalid; @extended=0 - Ending row invalid; @extended=1 - Ending column invalid; Author(s): SEO <locodarwin at yahoo dot com>, many thanks to DaLiMan; Note(s): This sort routine will not function properly with pivot tables. Please; use the pivot table sorting functions instead.;;===============================================================================_ExcelSort($oExcel, $sKey, $sRangeOrRowStart, $iColStart = 1, $iRowEnd = 1, $iColEnd = 1, $iDirection = 2)May be a little over-kill, and only required that last line, but works like it should. If you try to fail and succeed which have you done?AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted January 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) FireFox,Je crois que les noms des fonctions doivent etre en miniscules, comme j'ai indiqué plus haut. Essaie ca.M23Trans:I believe the function names must be in lowercase as I mentioned above. Try that.Edit:Ah, Jos - your fingers are too fast for me!
