Take a look at this code: Easy shell hook Should be trivial to make a app logger with it.

I know this is an old thread, but there are no other that use ToUnicodeEx. I Think this example is a bit more generic than the one above. ; SOURCE: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/165853-help-tounicodeex/ ; SOURCE: _WinAPI_GetModuleHandle.au3 from helpfile on _WinAPI_GetModuleHandle ; Modified and test code: Uten #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <StructureConstants.au3> #include <WinAPIConstants.au3> #include <WinAPISys.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> ;TODO: Change script name accordingly.

Make sure you test with screen scale set to 100% Then test with different scale. I have struggled with some code comparing images. Turned out capturing code got offset when screen scale was not 100%. I gave up on ImageSearch.dll 3 months ago. Could be the same problem.

Could this be related to 32 vs 64 bit versions of the os and or autoit? After I got a computer able to run windows 10 I get all kinds of trouble. I thought it was because I'm rusty, but .... Edit: Tried the code. Only modified the paths to be relative. #include <GDIPlus.au3> _GDIPlus_Startup() $hImage_JPG = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(".\images\test.jpg") _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage_JPG, ".\images\test.bmp") _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage_JPG) _GDIPlus_Shutdown() Worked for me. Windows 10. Autoit 3.3.14.5 64 bit version.

First my appology for resurecting this thread. But I'm curious, and someone monitoring this thread from way back might have good answers. 1: Does anyone use FANN (with autoit) these days? 2: Does anyone use it on win64? To me it looks like a wraper to handle pointers to structs are needed between the library and AutoIt? 3: Is there any other Neural Network Library in use with AutoIt?

If I understand the problem at hand you have several known windows appearing at an unknow sequence in time? You should look for a state machine solution. Take a look at this video: state-your-intentions-more-clearly-with-state-machines EDIT: Use if..elseif..elseif to identify available windows.

Hi Mouse, Ask your father if you can run your stuff on a guest account from a USB disk. It has been 4 years since I did this last time so bee kind to me if things have changed, ok. EDIT: The scite version packed with autoit-v3.zip works out of the box when you have unziped. If you want the extra tools that commes with scite4autoit3 yust unzip the content to the scite folder where you unziped autoit and ppresto a working environment ***** Obsolet part ***** Download the zip version of autoit and the ziped version of Scite4Autoit3. Unpack them. Open scite Open options->open au3.properties and locate the section: # Commands to compile / run your script Configure the lines according to how you unziped your files.. **************************** To get your own environment check out portableapps.com and other usb stick setups. If your father don't like this idea you could always use vbscript. But as @guinnes pointed out. Try to get your fathers aproval before you do anything! Or get your own computer.;o) Personally I only use old hardware with puppylinux and occationally wine ( to run woindows applications ) Happy scripting Uten

Hi JeffKang, Is this still something your working with / has interest for? I made a system like this for an ALS patient (He could only move his head, everything else was dead ) almost 10 years back. We used some freeware, autoit, and an ordianary web cam to enable the man to read papers (PDF), read, write and, send mail, use skype, play music, listen to radio and do other tasks. I don't really understand how you think from your post but If your serious about this I can dig out some information from my archive and discuss your aproach with you. Best regards Uten

Shit, caught by a really bad habit Thanks Jos..

Good catch.. Unfortunately it does not change anything I get the same runlog if I wrap it up (@error = X). I would think it should make a diffrence, so I'm pussled. Usually I have a error detecting function rather than the check against @error Edit: This is the important line in the run log: (21) : (0)(0) 0 = CardType Evaluates to: True

Why does an array element containing a 0 evaluate to true when compared to a hardcoded string? I would appreciate If someone could take the time to figure out if I have done something wrong before I make a fool out of my self and report a bug. Thanks..

Just analyse the output you get in scite when compiling a script and then do the same from your application. Your call in RunWait(...) should be something like this: F:\portableapps\devtools\scite\..\autoit-v3.3.0.0\aut2exe\aut2exe.exe /in "E:\DOCUME~1\UTENNA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\newexe.au3" /out "F:\newexe.exe" /comp 2 /pack /Bin E:\DOCUME~1\UTENNA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\AutoItSC.bin

Maybe try '"'That is single quotes( ' ) wrapping a double quote (") ?

To me this does not make any sense as described. Do you want to modify the existing exe or create a new one? Do you want to write out a script and use aut2exe to create a new exe? Or do you want to skip au2exe and create a binary thing containing information from $text? Maybe this old topic is what your after? EDIT: Just checked the topic again and to my surprise the code is waked? Is this just my problem or is it common to the rest of you?
