Description

Changes the operation of various AutoIt functions/parameters. 

AutoItSetOption ( "option" [, param] )

Parameters

option The option to change. See Remarks.
param [optional] The value to assign to the option. The type and meaning vary by option. See remarks below. If the param is not provided, then the function just returns the value already assigned to the option. The keyword Default can be used for the parameter to reset the option to its default value.

Return Value

Success: Returns the value of the previous setting for the option.
Failure: Sets @error to non-zero. Failure will occur if the parameters are invalid (such as an option that doesn't exist).

Remarks

You may use Opt as an alternative to AutoItSetOption.

Options are as follows:

Option Param
CaretCoordMode CaretCoordMode Sets the way coords are used in the caret functions, either absolute coords or coords relative to the current active window:
CaretCoordMode 0 = relative coords to the active window
CaretCoordMode 1 = absolute screen coordinates (default)
CaretCoordMode 2 = relative coords to the client area of the active window
ExpandEnvStrings ExpandEnvStrings Changes how literal strings and % symbols are interpreted. By default strings are treated literally, this option allows you to use %environment% variables inside strings, e.g., "The temp directory is: %temp%".
ExpandEnvStrings 0 = do not expand environment variables (default)
ExpandEnvStrings 1 = expand environment variables
ExpandEnvStrings Without this option the usual way would be: "The temp directory is: " & EnvGet ("temp")
ExpandVarStrings ExpandVarStrings Changes how literal strings and variable/macro ($ and @) symbols are interpreted. By default strings are treated literally, this option allows you to use variables and macros inside strings, e.g., "The value of var1 is $var1$".
ExpandVarStrings 0 = do not expand variables (default)
ExpandVarStrings 1 = expand variables (when in this mode and you want to use a literal $ or @ then double it up: "This is a single dollar $$ sign".
GUICloseOnESC GUICloseOnESC When ESC is pressed on a GUI the $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE message is sent. This option toggles this behavior on and off.
GUICloseOnESC 0 = Don't send the $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE message when ESC is pressed.
GUICloseOnESC 1 = Send the $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE message when ESC is pressed (default).
GUICoordMode GUICoordMode Alters the position of a control defined by GUICtrlSetPos.
GUICoordMode 0 = relative position to the start of the last control (upper left corner).
GUICoordMode 1 = absolute coordinates (default) still relative to the dialog box.
GUICoordMode 2 = cell positioning relative to current cell. A -1 for left or top parameter don't increment the start.
GUICoordMode So next line is -1, offset; next cell is offset,-1; current cell is -1,-1.
GUICoordMode Obviously "offset" cannot be -1 which reserved to indicate the no increment. But if you can use a multiple of the width you choose to skip or go back.
GUIDataSeparatorChar GUIDataSeparatorChar Define the character which delimits subitems in GUICtrlSetData.
GUIDataSeparatorChar '.
GUIOnEventMode GUIOnEventMode Enable/disable OnEvent functions notifications.
GUIOnEventMode 0 = (default) disable.
GUIOnEventMode 1 = enable.
GUIResizeMode GUIResizeMode Change default resizing for a control.
GUIResizeMode 0 = (default) keep default control resizing.
GUIResizeMode <1024 = any type of resizing see GUICtrlSetResizing.
GUIEventOptions GUIEventOptions Change special event behavior or GUI function return values.
GUIEventOptions 0 = (default) Windows behavior on click on Minimize,Restore, Maximize, Resize.
GUIEventOptions 1 = suppress windows behavior on minimize, restore or maximize click button or window resize. Just sends the notification.
MouseClickDelay MouseClickDelay Alters the length of the brief pause in between mouse clicks.
MouseClickDelay Time in milliseconds to pause (default=10).
MouseClickDownDelay MouseClickDownDelay Alters the length a click is held down before release.
MouseClickDownDelay Time in milliseconds to pause (default=10).
MouseClickDragDelay MouseClickDragDelay Alters the length of the brief pause at the start and end of a mouse drag operation.
MouseClickDragDelay Time in milliseconds to pause (default=250).
MouseCoordMode MouseCoordMode Sets the way coords are used in the mouse functions, either absolute coords or coords relative to the current active window:
MouseCoordMode 0 = relative coords to the active window
MouseCoordMode 1 = absolute screen coordinates (default)
MouseCoordMode 2 = relative coords to the client area of the active window
MustDeclareVars MustDeclareVars If this option is used then all variables must be pre-declared with Local, Global or in some cases Dim before they can be used - removes the chance for misspelled variables causing bugs.
MustDeclareVars 0 = Variables don't need to be pre-declared (default)
MustDeclareVars 1 = Variables must be pre-declared
PixelCoordMode PixelCoordMode Sets the way coords are used in the pixel functions, either absolute coords or coords relative to the window defined by hwnd (default active window):
PixelCoordMode 0 = relative coords to the defined window
PixelCoordMode 1 = absolute screen coordinates (default)
PixelCoordMode 2 = relative coords to the client area of the defined window
SendAttachMode SendAttachMode Specifies if AutoIt attaches input threads when using Send function. When not attaching (default mode=0) detecting the state of capslock/scrolllock and numlock can be unreliable under NT4. However, when you specify attach mode=1 the Send ("{... down/up}") syntax will not work and there may be problems with sending keys to "hung" windows. ControlSend ALWAYS attaches and is not affected by this mode.
SendAttachMode 0 = don't attach (default)
SendAttachMode 1 = attach
SendCapslockMode SendCapslockMode Specifies if AutoIt should store the state of capslock before a Send function and restore it afterwards.
SendCapslockMode 0 = don't store/restore
SendCapslockMode 1 = store and restore (default)
SendKeyDelay SendKeyDelay Alters the length of the brief pause in between sent keystrokes. A value of 0 removes the delay completely.
SendKeyDelay Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5).
SendKeyDownDelay SendKeyDownDelay Alters the length of time a key is held down before being released during a keystroke. For applications that take a while to register keypresses you may need to raise this value from the default. A value of 0 removes the delay completely.
SendKeyDownDelay Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5).
TCPTimeout TCPTimeout Defines the time before TCP functions stop if no communication.
TCPTimeout Time in milliseconds before timeout (default=100).
TrayAutoPause TrayAutoPause Script pauses when click on tray icon.
TrayAutoPause 0 = no pause
TrayAutoPause 1 = pause (default). If there is no DefaultMenu no pause will occurs.
TrayIconDebug TrayIconDebug If enabled shows the current script line in the tray icon tip to help debugging.
TrayIconDebug 0 = no debug information (default)
TrayIconDebug 1 = show debug
TrayIconHide TrayIconHide Hides the AutoIt tray icon. Note: The icon will still initially appear ~750 milliseconds.
TrayIconHide 0 = show icon (default)
TrayIconHide 1 = hide icon
TrayMenuMode TrayMenuMode Extend the behaviour of the script tray icon/menu. This can be done with a combination (adding) of the following values.
TrayMenuMode 0 = default menu items (Script Paused/Exit) are appended to the usercreated menu; usercreated checked items will automatically unchecked; if you double click the tray icon then the controlid is returned which has the "Default"-style (default).
