#OnAutoItStartRegister

[EmkioA]

Hi,

i use the version 3.3.4.0 of autoit.

i use #OnAutoItStartRegister, when i lauch the application from the SciTE environnment, it work

when i compile the application, it dont work

Is there a way to have OnAutoItStart work again on a compiled application?

Thanx

Stéphane

I confirm this unexpected bahavior with the beta compile too, XP SP3 x86. Looks like a bug.

You didn't by any chance put parens around your function name, did you?

; Wrong: 
;  #OnAutoItStartRegister("MyTestFunc")
;
; Should be:
#OnAutoItStartRegister "MyTestFunc"

Hi,

Same result for me with 3.3.4.0 on Vista HP SP2:

Neither start function runs when compiled; both run from SciTE

Exit function runs without problem in both cases.

#OnAutoItStartRegister "_start_1"
#OnAutoItStartRegister "_start_2"
OnAutoItExitRegister("_end")

Func _start_1()
    MsgBox(0,"Test", "Starting 1")
EndFunc

Func _start_2()
    MsgBox(0,"Test", "Starting 2")
EndFunc

Func _end()
    MsgBox(0, "Test", "Ending")
EndFunc

I will wait until tomorrow before putting in a bug report just in case we are all missing something obvious.

Even the simple help file example is a nop.

Even the simple help file example is a nop.

It should be in BugTracker then, go ahead and create a ticket.

Same result for me with V3.3.4.0 on Seven x64.

This is now ticket #1448

BTW, I'm curious to learn what is allowable in an #OnAutoItStartRegister function. Search turned up nothing.

For instance, I would have expected this code to produce either Box1 or Box2 but no both, depending on it being

interpreted: it should produce Box1 since #OnAutoItStartRegister works

or

compiled: it should produce Box2 since #OnAutoItStartRegister doesn't work.

#OnAutoItStartRegister "MsgFunc"

If Not IsDeclared($flag) Then MsgBox(0, "Box2", "#OnAutoItStartRegister failed.")

Func MsgFunc()
    MsgBox(0, "Box1", "#OnAutoItStartRegister doing its job.")
    Global $flag = -1
EndFunc

Except if the feature is more deeply affected by #1448 bug, the script below tends to show that #OnAutoItStartRegister function:

• may call other user functions
• may declare and manipulate local variables
• may declare and manipulate global variables, but they are treated as if they were declared local.
• may not use any variable declared outside #OnAutoItStartRegister function since the execution point never got there.
• may not use UDFs

Is that a correct characterization? Are there other limitations?

#OnAutoItStartRegister "MsgFunc"

If Not IsDeclared($str) Then MsgBox(0, "", "#OnAutoItStartRegister failed.")

Func MsgFunc()
    MsgBox(0, "", "#OnAutoItStartRegister doing its job.")
    Global $str = "AutoIt start part"
    $str &= " of this *** has been"
    $str = StringReplace($str, "***", "string") & " transformed"
    SuffixIt($str)
    ConsoleWrite($str & " hence it has had an existence in variable space." & @LF)
EndFunc

Func SuffixIt($s)
    If IsDeclared($str) Then
        MsgBox(0, "Still within AutoItStart", "Variable $str currently exists.")
    Else
        MsgBox(0, "User function called from AutoItStart", "Variable $str doesn't really exists.")
    EndIf
    Return(StringUpper($s) & ' ')
EndFunc

not solving the problem but IsDeclared($str) must be IsDeclared("str")

Bordel de merde, quel con !

I must recognize it works considerably better once you use the right syntax.

I shouldn't be doing anything at 05:32 AM, certainly not posting here.

I use the #OnAutoItStartRegister "MyTestFunc" but i have an idea. The # is a pre-processor keyword its normal it work into the environement, you should try to transform it as a function as OnAutoItExitRegister( "ExitFuncName" ).

Thanx
