eh, not quite. i want a listener on my computer to check if someone has sent the shutdown command. i can do that part but i cant find a CPU friendly way to check constantly other than waiting a few seconds but i might miss it by then.

Hey, im trying to make an app that has some sort of listener that i can check for the system shutdown box cause we got a few people playing with the command line. I cant really think of something better than While 1 ... WEnd Forever... any ideas?

change your while loop to While $show = 0 grr third edit ftw

So i got an application that displays data in a tray tooltip. this program is not in autoit but i want to write a script to get the data from that tool tip and ill put it somewhere that i dont have to mouse over it to see it like on a mouse tool tip. is it possible to get that data from the tray tooltip? Edit: err its not really a tooltip, its what shows when i mouse over it.

Simple 50 line app to generate 1000 numbers for each of the 3 numbers in the Pick 3. Which ever number, 0-9, is picked the most is set as one of the digits. #include <GuiConstants.au3> #include <Array.au3> HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_exit") Global $firstPick, $secondPick, $thirdPick, $arr[10] $gui = GUICreate("Pick 3 Picker", 300, 200) $goBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Generate ", 100, 25, 100) $first = GUICtrlCreateLabel("1 - ", 25, 80) $second = GUICtrlCreateLabel("2 - ", 25, 120) $third = GUICtrlCreateLabel("3 - ", 25, 160) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gui) While 1 $gMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $gMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE _exit() Case $goBtn $firstPick = genDigits() $secondPick = genDigits() $thirdPick = genDigits() _updateCtrls() EndSwitch WEnd Func genDigits() For $x = 1 To 1000 Step 1 $temp = Random(0, 9, 1) $arr[$temp] = $arr[$temp] + 1 Next $y = _ArrayMaxIndex($arr) Global $arr[10] Return $y EndFunc Func _updateCtrls() GUICtrlSetData($first, "1 - " & $firstPick) GUICtrlSetData($second, "2 - " & $secondPick) GUICtrlSetData($third, "3 - " & $thirdPick) EndFunc Func _exit() exit EndFunc

GuiCreate(), its all in the helpfile

yup its checked. autoit has never really seemed to care (for me) about that setting.

its fine but i really hate it when i see something like: OMFG HELP I NEED HELP WHAT DO I DO !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?????!!!??!?!?!11 lol are you sure you dont like the ez-way out... (looks at Armand's Sig) "Http1.1 Console, The Ez Way!"

its not an autoit file its a windows dll try this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

nope still nothing, tried with both 0 and 1 flags

i think that tool is open source so you could read through the source. Or you can use the Finder tool and notice that its an edit control and use some command that escapes my mind atm but if i find it il post back.

i dont want it on top of the taskbar though. or if this puts the taskbar ontop then it would cover part of the window.

So does 1200 punctuation marks on the end of a sentence. There are many programs that have numerical progess bars and if you do it right it will look just as good as those. worst case you could just have a white background where your progress bar is and have it look like its in a list view.

Im working on a program that runs maximized and it looks fine on my widescreen LCD but on all the normal CRTs ive tested it on, it covers the taskbar. is there anyway to get around this without having to measure the desktop and determine where the taskbar is and stuff?
