To test as intended: see read me! file in zip This program is still under development, but feel free to make this code better with suggestions and better code There are some (closed) tickets for bugs in _GUICtrlRichEdit_StreamToFile and _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetZoom so the script uses workarounds until the next AutoIt update: https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/AutoIt/ticket/4038#ticket https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/AutoIt/ticket/4040#ticket Wanna take a look at the code? Here you go: #cs name: MiniMark function: a minimalistic editor for custom rtf files version: 4 made by: TheAutomator project: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/212763-minimark-a-minimalistic-rtf-editor todo: • make user level install possible (requested by argumentum) • allow dropping files to gui • consider sort lines, remove duplicate lines, remove whitespace button • add file changed indicator • add right click menu on edit • check if programfiles exist when opened • look into embedding images and sounds into compiled exe • make variable names better (AutoIt rules) • make tab behave correctly • handle double click behaviour on controls • figure out how to deal with saving zoom amount bug • $ws_clipsiblings needed for overlapping? bugs in AutoIt rich edit functions: https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/AutoIt/ticket/4038#ticket https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/AutoIt/ticket/4040#ticket should be fixed in the next AutoIt version! remarks: to install and test MiniMark as intended: • compile minimark to exe (with options) • compile setup to exe (with options) • use the setup to install MiniMark • restart computer (if things don't update directly) • rightclick to create a new mnm file • double click it and tadaaaah! hystory: version 1 + added some changes inspired by Werty + code revised + added functionality like opening files with a window, noticed by Argumentum + added sounds version 2 + scrolling is now possible thanks to Pixelsearch + scroll code was revised by Nine - changed some code to prevent a sound to be played twice + added "return $gui_rundefmsg" to "func wm_command" version 3 + made an installer/uninstaller (needs install path choice) - removed unnecessary guictrlcreatedummy code + undo buffer is set to empty when file loaded + added search function with custom gui (work in progress) + added scroll bar (that is buggy AF) version 4 (still in beta) + code revised again + made find and replace work better + better custom scrollbar (based on cursor position in edit) + added "save as" shortcut + added option to silence sounds + added option to save zoom amount (bug -> see ticket) + new search gui + added settings gui + added ini file to save settings + added custom popups in same style as MiniMark + added about button with link to forum + added per-monitor v2 dpi awareness (requires windows 10 creators update or later) + added better way to create controls on the fly (not as many images needed) + added checkmarks + added upper and lower case hotkeys + added incert date and time hotkey + scroll bar major update (special thanks to Pixelsearch for all the help with the code!) #ce #Region au3 #autoit3wrapper_icon=setup\icon.ico #autoit3wrapper_outfile_x64=MiniMark\MiniMark.exe #autoit3wrapper_usex64=y #NoTrayIcon #include <guirichedit.au3> #include <guiconstants.au3> #include <winapisyswin.au3> #include <array.au3> #include <date.au3> #EndRegion au3 #Region MiniMark constants ; colors Const $color_text_white = 0x00ffffff Const $color_text_gray = 0x00c0c0c0 Const $color_element_gray = 0x606060 Const $color_control_gray = 0x404040 Const $color_border_gray = 0x202020 Const $color_text_red = 0x006600ff Const $color_text_green = 0x0000ff66 Const $color_text_blue = 0x00ff6600 Const $color_transparent_background = 0xff00ff ; font names Const $font_handel_gothic_bt = 'handelgothic bt' Const $font_lucida_console = 'lucida console' ; sound effects Const $sound_start = @ScriptDir & '\sounds\start.wav' Const $sound_click = @ScriptDir & '\sounds\click.wav' Const $sound_alert = @ScriptDir & '\sounds\alert.wav' Const $sound_stop = @ScriptDir & '\sounds\stop.wav' ; user interface images Const $image_alert = @ScriptDir & '\images\alert.bmp' Const $image_button = @ScriptDir & '\images\button.bmp' Const $image_MiniMark = @ScriptDir & '\images\MiniMark.bmp' Const $image_scroll = @ScriptDir & '\images\scroll.bmp' Const $image_scroll_down = @ScriptDir & '\images\scroll_down.bmp' Const $image_scroll_up = @ScriptDir & '\images\scroll_up.bmp' Const $image_search = @ScriptDir & '\images\search.bmp' Const $image_settings = @ScriptDir & '\images\settings.bmp' Const $image_size_down = @ScriptDir & '\images\size_down.bmp' Const $image_size_up = @ScriptDir & '\images\size_up.bmp' Const $image_tick_on = @ScriptDir & '\images\tick_on.bmp' Const $image_tick_off = @ScriptDir & '\images\tick_off.bmp' ; files Const $file_intro = @ScriptDir & '\data\MiniMark.mnm' Const $file_settings = @ScriptDir & '\data\settings.ini' #EndRegion MiniMark constants #Region custom gui create functions ; create titles.

@WildByDesign Thanks again, thats a bug I overlooked when changing to many things at once 😅 Line 1669: From: __TreeListExplorer__GetPathAndLast(__TreeListExplorer__GetCurrentPath($iSystem)) To: __TreeListExplorer__GetPathAndLast(__TreeListExplorer__GetCurrentPath($iSystem) & __TreeListExplorer__GetSelected($iSystem)) So it is fixed in v2.8.1 Depending on treeviewChangesfunc(), you may want to add a check, if the folder/selection changed. If it did not change you should not have to do anything. This may prevent unnessesary calls => better performance Assuming $newItem still contains the old item from the last call ( see what I did there? 😋 ), you can simply do this: Func _selectCallback($hSystem, $sRoot, $sFolder, $sSelected) Local $sNewPath = $sRoot&$sFolder&$sSelected If $newItem<>$sNewPath Then $newItem = $sRoot&$sFolder&$sSelected $displaySelected = $sSelected treeviewChangesfunc() EndIf EndFunc I would also an encourage you to try not to use global variables (or as few as possible). That makes the code a lot easier to understand, without having to keep all the global variables in the back of your head and to remember where they change... I would also take a look at the notation, to now, how to name variables: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/lang_variables.htm#VariableNaming An example how that would look like for the short example you provided (with some comments): ConsoleWrite(@crlf & @crlf & "-------------------" & @crlf) _selectCallback(1, "C:\Users\", "Default", "desktop.ini") _selectCallback(1, "C:\Users\", "Default", "desktop.ini") _selectCallback(1, "C:\Users\", "Default", "tmp.txt") _selectCallback(1, "C:\Users\", "Default", "tmp.txt") _selectCallback(1, "C:\Users\", "Default", "desktop.ini") ConsoleWrite("-------------------" & @crlf & @crlf) Func _selectCallback($hSystem, $sRoot, $sFolder, $sSelected) Local Static $sOldPath = -1 ; Static makes a variable "global", but only available in this function Local $sNewPath = $sRoot&$sFolder&$sSelected ; combine to path ConsoleWrite(@TAB&"Select: "&$sOldPath&" >> "&$sNewPath&@crlf) If $sOldPath<>$sNewPath Then ; check if the path changed $sOldPath = $sNewPath ; save the path to be available for the next call of this function _OnTreeViewChange($sNewPath, $sSelected) EndIf EndFunc Func _onTreeViewChange($sPath, $sSelected) ; your old treeviewChangesfunc ConsoleWrite("TreeView change: "&$sPath&" Selected: "&$sSelected&@crlf) EndFunc

UPDATE: code cleanup added minimalistic sci-fi sounds better text on buttons and they have labels now better shortcuts open and save buttons now work as intended helpfile got an update code can be tested when not compiled removed a bug Enjoy and let me know what you think PS: If anyone knows how to make the edit scroll up / down when I use the mouse to scroll, let me know. I looked at this topic, but have no clue what to make of the code:

This is a UDF to use a Listview or Treeview as a File/Folder Explorer. You can also fine the TreeListExplorer UDF on Github. It allows to create a system, where a root folder can be set and that synchronizes all attached Tree or Listviews. So it is possible to attach multiple views to one system. Additionally, it is possible to add an Input Control as a View to show the current folder. When pressing {ENTER}, the system opens the path provided by the input. The following functions are available: ; #CURRENT# ===================================================================================================================== ; __TreeListExplorer_StartUp ; __TreeListExplorer_Shutdown ; __TreeListExplorer_CreateSystem ; __TreeListExplorer_DeleteSystem ; __TreeListExplorer_AddView ; __TreeListExplorer_RemoveView ; __TreeListExplorer_OpenPath ; __TreeListExplorer_Reload ; __TreeListExplorer_GetPath ; __TreeListExplorer_GetRoot ; __TreeListExplorer_GetSelected ; __TreeListExplorer_SetRoot ; =============================================================================================================================== When creating a System, a callback function can be provided to be called, when the root folder or the current folder changes. When adding a View, callback functions for single/double click at an item as well as a loading callback can be added. Example view: The Code for the Example to get a quick overview: If you like it, please leave me a comment, also if you have any suggestions to make it better or if you found bugs. I did a complete rework of this UDF (2025/03/02). Now it is easier to use and does not need external UDFs anymore. This also removes a lot of bugs, that were in the old version. It is also possible to freely select if folders and/or files should be visible in any view. Changelog: Version 1.0.0 (Old Version) Version 2.0.0 (New Version after rework) Version 2.1.0 - Rename $sCallbackOnSelect to $sCallbackOnClick - Add an additional callback $sCallbackOnSelectionChange, that is called whenever the Tree-/ListView item selection changes Version 2.2.0 - Improve loading speed for TreeView folders when expanding Version 2.3.0 - Fix some bugs where folders did not correctly expand/collapse when clicking them (when the root folder is not "" => shows all drives) - Fix some documentation - Add a method for reloading (__TreeListExplorer_Reload) the current folder (ListView/TreeView) or all folders (TreeView) - Remove the reload parameter from the __TreeListExplorer_OpenPath method (Replaced with __TreeListExplorer_Reload). - Other small internal changes Version 2.4.0 - Add the possibility to handle file/folder selections better - Files/Folders keep selected when reloading - The currently selected File/Folder can be checked with __TreeListExplorer_GetSelected - File selection is synchronized between all Tree-/Listviews, Folder selection only between ListViews (TreeView folder selection changes the current folder and expands it) - fixed minor issues Version 2.5.0 - Disabled TreeList expand with a single click and changed it to a double click - Selection is now synchronized for all files/folders between all views (Tree-/ListView) - The Selection callback is now moved from __TreeListExplorer_AddView to __TreeListExplorer_CreateSystem and only fires ones per change for the system and not for every view (as it was before) - All callbacks were changed to pass the selected folder and some additional information is now provided (clicked index/item, the loading path,...) - Small performance improvements - Some internal restructuring Version 2.5.1 - Fixed: selection not working for drives Version 2.6.0 - Added support for icons of all file extensions for TreeViews and ListViews. Version 2.7.0 - Input controls are now possible as a view. They show the current folder and when pressing {ENTER} inside, the system tries to open the path show in the input. - Changed the behavior of the treeview when clicking items. They now change the current folder, but are not expanded. This changes the folder in the ListView, when clicking a folder in the TreeView. Version 2.7.1 - Clicking on the Bitmap of a TreeView item is now registered as a click (not just the text like before) - Fixed a missing selection update when clicking on a TreeView item Version 2.7.2 - Add parameter for setting the (file-/folder-)icon size on startup Version 2.8.0 - TreeView selection is now triggering the select event and the $sSelect corresponds to the selected folder/file. NOTE: __TreeViewExplorer_GetSelected will be empty, if the selection is a folder in a treeview - Selection handling was improved, especially the synchronization between TreeView and ListView - Add keyboard navigation to the listview - Fixed a bug, where the icon index was sent as event (GuIGetMsg), when an item was clicked (happens without the udf message handling, so it needed a workaround: suppress the default autoit handler for mouseclicks) Version 2.8.1 - Fixed a bug, where the select callback was sometimes not send correctly Version 2.9.0 - Fixed bug for TreeViews, where folders were shown as expandable, when having only files but no folders, even if showing files was turned of - rework how treeviews are filled/updated/expanded (folders that are expanded will stay expanded on reload) - add the possibility to set a depth limit for the treeview (Example: Drive selection with $sRoot="" and $iMaxDepth=0) - Fixed bug for Arrow selection in the ListView to not trigger a click event anymore - When the open folder or the selection changed, the TreeView checks, if it still exists (=> treeview updates, if a folder was deleted) Version 2.9.1 - Workaround for a Bug in the GuiTreeView UDF (until it is fixed), causing random control deletions instead of TreeView item deletions Version 2.9.3 - Fixed custom icon size when extracting icons Version 2.9.4 - Improved display quality for some icons (Thanks WildByDesign for the work on that) - Fixed an issue, where cached file icons for individual files were shown as a folder Version 2.9.5 - Improved display quality for some icons (When resource files are defined in the registry, the one with the size greater or equal to the required icon size will be choosen) Version 2.10.0 - Added the possibility to filter ListViews/TreeViews with a callback function. This callbackfunction is called for every file/folder and only if it returns True, will they be added to the view. - Added the possibility to set $bNavigate for ListViews when adding them. This enables or disables the possibility to navigate through folders with doubleclicks in a ListView (and add/removes the ".." folder at the top, which enables the user to navigate to the parent folder) Special thanks to @WildByDesign for a lot of testing to help improving this UDF.

Can you load WAMP when the WiFi is OFF in the tablet ? ( I bet the answer is no because to save electricity, WiFi is just plain disabled/off at the hardware level ) Am thinking that maybe adding a software NIC emulator could allow to have emulated networking in the tablet. Look around and try them. Maybe one of those will fix the problem. Actually, can you from a browser get into the WAMP landing page without WiFi ?. That would be interesting to know too.

Just wanted to add to that my TextFinder Program does not "Update" Database Records like PayFiler does. If it did then _SQLite_FastEscape would have been added to that line too. I mentioned that all my created Variables <> 10 chars long... Notice the length of my Function Names! LOL.... Again... helps me to read in better....Me? OCD?? No Way! LOL...

You're welcome. Thank you for the quick fix. I thought I was losing my mind on that one. 🙂 Everything with your UDF is working perfectly and as you would expect. And everything with 2.8.1 is working cohesively with my project. In my treeviewChangesfunc(), I have a very simple If $newItem <> $oldItem Then $oldItem = $newItem. But your suggestion would prevent it from even getting to treeviewChangesfunc() so yours is even more efficient and cleaner as well. So I will switch to your example. Thank you. Yes, I agree. This is something that I need and want to learn more about. I definitely need to read up more on (and practice) passing variables from function to function without using Global variables and also making functions that return variables that I need. This is an area that I still don't feel very confident in quite yet. Your examples (with comments) are absolutely valuable. That helps a lot.
