WinAPIEx UDF

[Yashied]

As of v3.3.1.0 _WinAPI_GetLayeredWindowAttributes() and _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes() exist in WinAPI.au3 for those running the beta and wondering why you're getting errors.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=95367&view=findpost&p=685558

Just сomment these functions.

[Yashied]

The library has been updated.

Added functions

_WinAPI_DuplicateCursor

_WinAPI_EnumDisplaySettings

_WinAPI_FreeCursor

_WinAPI_GetCursor

_WinAPI_LoadCursor

_WinAPI_LoadCursorFromFile

_WinAPI_SetSystemCursor

Changes

• Renamed _WinAPI_EnumResource#ToArray() to _WinAPI_EnumResource#()
• Renamed _WinAPI_GetFontResourceInfoEx() to _WinAPI_GetFontResourceInfo()
• Changed _WinAPI_GetFontResourceInfo()
• Changed _WinAPI_AddFontResource()
• Changed _WinAPI_RemoveFontResource()
• Changed _WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayout(), _WinAPI_GetKeyboardLayoutList(), _WinAPI_SetKeyboardLayout(), and _WinAPI_EnumResourceLanguages() - working now with LCID (See examples)

[Yashied]

The library has been updated.

Added functions

_WinAPI_CreateSemaphore

_WinAPI_GetDefaultPrinter

_WinAPI_GetProcessMemoryInfo

_WinAPI_GetWindowInfo

_WinAPI_OpenSemaphore

_WinAPI_ReleaseSemaphore

Changes

• Renamed some functions to facilitate their use (eg _WinAPI_SHExtractIcons() to _WinAPI_ShellExtractIcons())
• Fixed some minor bugs
• Added descriptions for ALL functions
• Added several new examples

This is final release of the library. In this form, I will support its in the future. Perhaps part of the functions of the UDF will be added in the following versions of AutoIt. But so far, who are interested, use this library. Of course, who wishes, may offer its WinAPI-functions for inclusion in the library. But do not offer the functions for working with threads. AutoIt will still not work with them, at least without a headache.

I added WinAPIEx.au3 library for AutoIt 3.3.1.0 and above. This is the same, but with disabled _WinAPI_GetLayeredWindowAttributes() and _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes() functions and related constants. As these functions already exist in the native AutoIt library.

Hi and thank you for your effort, nice work,

It's saved me from a few trips to MSDN already >_<

Another function that's already in AutoIt v3.3.0.0 is _WinAPI_GetForegroundWindow()

Thanks.

WinAPIEx size exceeded the size of the native AutoIt WinAPI library.

[Zedna]

Thanks for improving Autoit's UDFs!! Good work!

I think _WinAPI_ArrayToStruct and _WinAPI_StructToArray should be in Array.au3 and not in WinAPI.au3

WinAPI.au3 should contain only functions related to Windows API from user32.dll, kernel32.dll,shell32.dll,comdlg32.dll,ole32.dll,gdi32.dll.

Hi, Zedna.

Heh, _WinAPI_ArrayToStruct() and _WinAPI_StructToArray() are used by some WinAPI functions, including are functions of this library. This is needed to better use WinAPI functions in AutoIt scripts. When writing this library, I tried to ease call WinAPI functions for the user. If I had just replaced the DllCall() to _WinFunc(), then the usefulness of such work would vanish. Anyway, are present in native AutoIt WinAPI.au3 functions such as _WinAPI_MakeDWord() or _WinAPI_PointFromRect(), which are absent in the *. dll, but it are needed to assist in other functions.

OK. In this case it's OK to have helper functions for main WinAPI ones (it's related to them).

I didn't looked deeply at your whole UDF I looked just at some functions.

Have you ever gotten around to fixing all the duplicate function errors when your file is #included in a script?

They are commented in the UDF. I did not remove them from the file.

EDIT:

What functions you have duplicates?

I don't remember them all now. A quick test is to create a new test.au3 file on your desktop with just one line of code.

#include<WinAPIEx.au3>

and then run it.

If you use AutoIt 3.3.x.x beta, in the first post I put WinAPIEx specifically for this release. There are disabled_WinAPI_GetLayeredWindowAttributes(), _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes() and related constants.

That would account for it. I think the last time I downloaded, it was from the link on another of your posts in this thread.
