I wanted to use named pipes in an application i'm working on but i can't figure it out. i've looked at the examples and adapted them to try and get what i want but i broke it and i've looked around on the forum but it seems to be something people stay away from. does anyone know how they work and a simpler way of coding them? thanks in advance an i'll keep working on it untill then.

Just for anyone who looks at this i found a tool to use in windows forms in visual studio.

Started coding an IDE for autoit as part of a project in computer sciences just to learn how to read and write to files in VB which was pretty easy tbh so started expanding it more and have spent ages on trying to get scilexer to make a control on a form but all examples are for vb6 anyone able 2 help? once that's in i'll post a screenshot. i'm working around the styling of the dbpro codesurge ide. this also uses projects splitting up files into smaller files making your code so much easier to read anyway that's just a bit of background info. any help much appreciated!!

It's much easier to make it in DBPro since it's made for games an supports 3d object really easily.

i dunno how 2 do that but i shall look into it sometime. that shud make it look bette Edit: I figured it out and link is updated. looks a lot better now.

good news! i got bored! so i added preview window functionality. just updatin file so link won't work for a few mins

tis a bit ugly as i say it was just a quick thing i put 2geter an i'm not really a graphics person. i just make stuff work. lol if i get bored it shall be improved!

oooh i quite like that. if u search on forum there's some functions that someone's put 2gether to put it into preview window and add a config page. Edit: the functions can also add dual screen functionality btw

erm... ye pretty much. it was just a quick thing i did cos i got bored. also i don't think dbpro can handle puttin stuff into the preview window. may have a look into it if i get bored again.

Was looking through available downloads for AutoIt and noticed that there are no screensavers so i thought i'd make 1. First of all this isn't made in AutoIt it's made in DarkBasic Proffesional and if anyone want the source i shall publish it at some point in the near future. just right click and and click install to add it to your desktop properties. I found out how to limit it to the preview window however it does go to full screen to begin with untill it figures out what to do. Any key should close it apart from the arrow keys which can be used to control the spinning of the sphere in the middle. AutoIt Screensaver Things to do: - make it look better - add different objects - add a config page Comments are welcome

Are you wanting this to work on a network or anything like that cos i'm currently working on a proxy server with a built in content filter?

Great program! I've been looking for one of these. Would be great if it would minimise to tray an allow selection through a traymenu.

Soz haven't had time to do much work an this. For those who want this in the tools menu in autoit (easier to open) here's some code to add to the au3.properties in the options menu. Add this in the command section at the first available space (default 17, line 176) # 17 Dale2507's Project Manager command.17.$(au3)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\ProjectManager\project manager.exe" command.name.17.$(au3)=Dale2507's Project Manager command.shortcut.17.$(au3)=Ctrl+Alt+P command.subsystem.17.$(au3)=2 command.save.before.17.$(au3)=2 Then save and exit Then Move the .exe to "$(SciteDefaultHome)\ProjectManager\project manager.exe" $(SciteDefaultHome) is usually C:\Program files\AutoIt\Scite That's it. Press Ctrl Alt and P to open it when you've got a au3 file open

I've found the problem of the scripts not running correctly. I think in a previous version i had used ShellExecute whereas now the command is run but i forgot to change inside the brackets. I've also found how to get the console data so i shall be making a debugger window.

Thats rather strange. I've never had that happen before and it shouldn't as there is nothing about writing to scripts in the part of the script for the test menu but i'll look into it anyway. $Parameters = InputBox ("Parameters", "Please input any parameters to run the main script with.") If Not @error Then $exe = $AutoItDir&'\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe' $params = '/run /prod /ErrorStdOut /in "'&$Files[0][1]&"\"&$Files[0][2]&'" /autoit3dir "'&$AutoItDir&'" /UserParams '&$parameters MsgBox (48, "Project Testing", "Make sure all files used by the project are up to date.") $process = Run ($exe, $params) EndIf Thanks for the hint about the upto. that's been changed. I've also added a checker so that files are checked to exist before the project is opened and this also lets you find that file. I'va also made it add file extensions on if they aren't already.
