Hey CYCho I realize this doesn't really further our cause, but here's what I've managed to do with XAudio2 for what its worth. XAudio2.zip

I needed a way to HexEdit / Patch a file to repair a common file corruption problem in a software package my company uses. I first used the AutoIt core FileOpen / FileWrite functions but this method required me to open the whole file into memory. The files I work with can be several hundred megabytes in size and easily cause out of memory errors. So, After searching / hacking I came up with this solution. I hope someone finds it useful #include <WinAPI.au3> _Demo() Func _Demo() Local Const $TestFile_Path = @ScriptDir & "\Test.Bin" Local $TestFile_ID, $bData, $Offset ;## Hex offsets / lengths of the data stored in the file.

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.

I have been creating few controls with round corners for awhile for my own needs and I felt it was time to make an UDF and share it with the community. The idea behind this UDF is to use essentially simple basic AutoIt GUI functions. I did not want to embark in GDI+ to create the controls. I wanted to be easy to use with enough features that it would answer most requirements. The functions contained in the UDF : _RGUI_RoundLabel _RGUI_RoundButton _RGUI_RoundInput _RGUI_RoundEdit _RGUI_RoundGroup _RGUI_RoundScrollBar _RGUI_ScrollBarSet _RGUI_ScrollBarDestroy _RGUI_RoundRect _RGUI_DrawLine _RGUI_ButtonPress _RGUI_ButtonReset Version 2025-04-06 * Solved an issue where scroll bar and control are not in the same GUI child * Added 4th example on how to use scrollbar with ListView over a background generated by GDI+ Version 2025-03-28 * Added support to auto-size label and button controls (by passing -1 for width and/or height) * Removed the requirement to pass handle of the GUI to _RGUI_RoundGroup * Added 3rd example on how to use scrollbar with RichEdit Version 2025-03-21 * Added support of round corner scrollbar * Added a 2nd example on how to use scrollbar with ListBox Version 2025-03-15 * Basic framework for the UDF Here an example of what could be done with the UDF : If you feel there should be new controls, I will consider adding them to the UDF.

@MattyD, You are like a brilliant alchemist, transforming challenges into ingenious solutions that no one else could imagine. Though I may not have the depth of knowledge to fully harness your solution, I deeply appreciate the insight you've shared—it's inspiring and a great opportunity for me to learn. Thanks!

@TheAutomator there are always good things to learn from @Nine's code, but it takes time to (try to) understand it, because our knowledge of AutoIt/Windows isn't as high as his. I always said he's a great coder ! Nine uses Subclassing a lot, which seems to be the shortest way to accomplish many tasks, which would require much code when not used. For example, with the code below I can mimic a scrollbar (using 4 label controls) without subclassing, by registering WM_COMMAND & WM_NOTIFY, but it requires more code than subclassing : #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiRichEdit.au3> #include <Misc.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) ;0=no, 1=require pre-declaration Global $g_hRichEdit, $g_idDummy, $g_idThumb, $g_idUp, $g_idDn, $g_idBack, $g_aBack Global $g_aCheckLine[3] ; [0] = 1st visible line, [1] = last visible line, [2] = total lines Example() Func Example() ; Constants changeable in these 4 lines Local $hGui = GUICreate("Label is Scrollbar", 320, 416) Local $aEdit[4] = [10, 10, 210, 396] ; coords richedit control Local $iGap = 3 ; number of pixels between right border of edit control & vertical scrollbar Local $aUp[4] = [$aEdit[0] + $aEdit[2] + $iGap, $aEdit[1], 15, 20] ; coords Up arrow ; Nothing to change here Dim $g_aBack[4] = [$aUp[0], $aUp[1] + $aUp[3], $aUp[2], $aEdit[3] - $aUp[3] * 2] Local $aDn[4] = [$aUp[0], $aEdit[1] + $aEdit[3] - $aUp[3], $aUp[2], $aUp[3]] Local $sString For $i = 1 To 100 $sString &= @crlf & "Line " & $i Next $sString = StringTrimLeft($sString, 2) ; remove 2 first characters (@cr & @lf) $g_hRichEdit = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($hGui, $sString, $aEdit[0], $aEdit[1], $aEdit[2], $aEdit[3], _ BitOR($ES_MULTILINE, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL)) $g_idUp = GUICtrlCreateLabel(Chr(241), $aUp[0], $aUp[1], $aUp[2], $aUp[3], BitOr($SS_CENTERIMAGE, $SS_CENTER)) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, $FW_MEDIUM, $GUI_FONTNORMAL, "Wingdings") GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xE0DFE3) ; my GUI light grey background $g_idDn = GUICtrlCreateLabel(Chr(242), $aDn[0], $aDn[1], $aDn[2], $aDn[3], BitOr($SS_CENTERIMAGE, $SS_CENTER)) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, $FW_MEDIUM, $GUI_FONTNORMAL, "Wingdings") GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xE0DFE3) ; my GUI light grey background ;======= create $g_idThumb BEFORE $g_idBack (as they overlap) . $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS style for $g_idBack $g_idThumb = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", $g_aBack[0], $g_aBack[1], 0, 0) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFF0000) ; red $g_idBack = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", $g_aBack[0], $g_aBack[1], $g_aBack[2], $g_aBack[3], $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x808080) ; dark grey ;======= $g_idDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy() Local $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", $aUp[0] + $aUp[2] + 10, $aUp[1], 60, 30) _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetEventMask($g_hRichEdit, $ENM_SCROLLEVENTS) GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "WM_NOTIFY") GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetScrollPos($g_hRichEdit, 0, 0) ; good behavior when placed after GUISetState (in case total lines = total visible + 1) While True Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE _GUICtrlRichEdit_Destroy($g_hRichEdit) GUIDelete($hGUI) Exit Case $g_idDummy ; triggered by WM_COMMAND .

Also I can click on the "scroll background rectangle" (another label control which overlaps with the thumb control) to scroll 1 page up/down, or on the 2 scrolls arrows (2 other label controls) to scroll 1 line up/down, as in a normal scrollbar. I'm not satisfied with the fact that clicking quickly on the scroll arrows doesn't scroll 1 line up/down each time the user clicks on a scroll arrow. I just discovered why today : clicking quickly twice on a label control doesn't trigger (twice) the corresponding Case in main loop, because it's recognized as a double click on the label control, which should be taken care of in WM_COMMAND as @Melba23 indicates here . This "annoyance" doesn't occur with button controls. [ Note : the preceding "Strikethrough" comment has been fixed in the code by using a Dummy control, triggered by WM_COMMAND and processed in main loop. ] Using Pic controls (as you do) instead of Label controls seem to work , as both are static controls. What is important is the order of creation of the 2 overlapping controls, as found in the script, e.g. the big "scroll bar rectangle" (dark grey in the pic) and the smaller "scroll thumb" (red in the pic) I scripted this only for educational purpose, because simply adding the "WS_SCROLL" style to the richedit control would solve it all, but I understand why you don't want to use WS_SCROLL (you explained it before) Maybe the script above will help you, maybe not, or maybe it will be a good occasion for you to spend some time on Nine's subclassing part & the learning of DllCallbackRegister etc... For example, see in this post how @LarsJ quickly used subclassing to efficiently solve OP's question, amazing ! Good luck Update: April 8th : simplified code in Case $g_idBack

I was wondering how to create an Application Bar that would be recognized by the system. Searching on the forum here revealed that there was a few attempts of doing so but none was successful. So here a working example of how to perform it. Notice how maximized windows are shrunk by the application bar. 😎 #NoTrayIcon ;#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <StructureConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <TrayConstants.au3> ; #SHAppBarMessage# ============================================================================================================= ; Name ..........: SHAppBarMessage.AU3 ; Description ...: Create an Application Bar recognized by the system ; Author ........: Nine ; Created .......: 2025-04-04 ; Modified ......: ; Remarks .......: ; Example .......: Yes ; =============================================================================================================================== Opt("MustDeclareVars", True) Opt("GUICloseOnESC", False) Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1) Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0) Global Enum $ABM_NEW, $ABM_REMOVE, $ABM_QUERYPOS, $ABM_SETPOS, $ABM_GETSTATE, $ABM_GETTASKBARPOS, $ABM_ACTIVATE, $ABM_GETAUTOHIDEBAR, _ $ABM_SETAUTOHIDEBAR, $ABM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED, $ABM_SETSTATE Global Enum $ABS_ONTOP, $ABS_AUTOHIDE, $ABS_ALWAYSONTOP Global Enum $ABE_LEFT, $ABE_TOP, $ABE_RIGHT, $ABE_BOTTOM Global Enum $ABN_STATECHANGE, $ABN_POSCHANGED, $ABN_FULLSCREENAPP, $ABN_WINDOWARRANGE Global Const $CALLBACK = $WM_USER + 0x10 Global Const $tagAPPBARDATA = "dword cbSize;hwnd hWnd;uint uCallbackMessage;uint uEdge;" & $tagRECT & ";lparam lParam" Global $idDummy Example() Func Example() Local $tAppBarData = DllStructCreate($tagAPPBARDATA) $tAppBarData.cbSize = DllStructGetSize($tAppBarData) Local $hGUI = GUICreate("", 80, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW + $WS_EX_TOPMOST) GUISetBkColor(0x202020) GUISetFont(11, 0, 0, "Comic Sans MS") Local $idHide = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Hide", 5, 5, 70, 30) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", 200, 0) Local $idTask = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Task", 5, 40, 70, 30) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", 16739, 0) Local $idDo = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Do", 5, 75, 70, 30) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", 16802, 0) Local $idDont = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Don't", 5, 110, 70, 30) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", 240, 0) Local $idExit = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Exit", 5, 300, 70, 30) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", 290, 0) $tAppBarData.hWnd = $hGUI $tAppBarData.uCallbackMessage = $CALLBACK DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "SHAppBarMessage", "dword", $ABM_NEW, "struct*", $tAppBarData) AppBarSetPos($tAppBarData) GUIRegisterMsg($CALLBACK, AppBarProc) GUISetState() $idDummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy() While True Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $idExit ExitLoop Case $idDummy AppBarSetPos($tAppBarData) Case $idHide GUISetState(@SW_HIDE) DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "SHAppBarMessage", "dword", $ABM_REMOVE, "struct*", $tAppBarData) TraySetIcon("shell32.dll", 255) TraySetState($TRAY_ICONSTATE_SHOW) TraySetToolTip("Left click to restore" & @CRLF & "Right click to Exit") Case $idTask ToggleTaskBar() EndSwitch Switch TrayGetMsg() Case $TRAY_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "SHAppBarMessage", "dword", $ABM_NEW, "struct*", $tAppBarData) AppBarSetPos($tAppBarData) TraySetState($TRAY_ICONSTATE_HIDE) Case $TRAY_EVENT_SECONDARYUP Exit EndSwitch WEnd DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "SHAppBarMessage", "dword", $ABM_REMOVE, "struct*", $tAppBarData) EndFunc ;==>Example Func AppBarSetPos(ByRef $tAppBar) $tAppBar.uEdge = $ABE_LEFT $tAppBar.left = 0 $tAppBar.top = 0 $tAppBar.Right = 80 $tAppBar.Bottom = @DesktopHeight DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "SHAppBarMessage", "dword", $ABM_QUERYPOS, "struct*", $tAppBar) DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "SHAppBarMessage", "dword", $ABM_SETPOS, "struct*", $tAppBar) WinMove($tAppBar.hWnd, "", $tAppBar.Left, $tAppBar.Top, $tAppBar.Right, $tAppBar.Bottom) EndFunc ;==>AppBarSetPos Func ToggleTaskBar() Local $tAppBar = DllStructCreate($tagAPPBARDATA) $tAppBar.cbSize = DllStructGetSize($tAppBar) Local $iState = DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "SHAppBarMessage", "dword", $ABM_GETSTATE, "struct*", $tAppBar)[0] $tAppBar.lParam = $iState = $ABS_AUTOHIDE ? $ABS_ALWAYSONTOP : $ABS_AUTOHIDE DllCall("shell32.dll", "int", "SHAppBarMessage", "dword", $ABM_SETSTATE, "struct*", $tAppBar) EndFunc ;==>ToggleTaskBar Func AppBarProc($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam) If $wParam = $ABN_POSCHANGED Then GUICtrlSendToDummy($idDummy, $wParam) Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>AppBarProc
