Pre-processor directives are a means of telling a script (or compiler) to behave in a special way. They begin with a hash (#) and are placed at the top of a script.
Below is a list of alphabetized pre-processor directives supported in AutoIt.
| Directive | Description |
|---|---|
| #comments... | Specify that an entire section of script should be commented out |
| #include | Includes a file in the current script. |
| #include-once | Specifies that the current file may only be included once. |
| #NoTrayIcon | Indicates that the AutoIt tray icon will not be shown when the script starts. |
| #OnAutoItStartRegister | Registers a function to be called when AutoIt starts. |
| #pragma | Changes how the script is compiled. |
| #RequireAdmin | Specifies that the current script requires full administrator rights to run. |
