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.

Hey MVPs, simply because I didn't knew how. I played around with the WMI a bit according some example I found here in the forum, but obviously, I didn't do it properly. Your example though does exactly, what I wanted! Thank you! Anyways... the flickering must be made by some other settings, because it still occurs... I will investigate that and report here or ask you guys for supporting me, if I don't find the reason. @Jos : sorry for leading you on the wrong track

You're welcome, it was interesting to script. As I just did a new update today (7th april), may I suggest you delete the old quoted code from your last post, so we keep only the updated version ? Thanks and have a great day

Pixelsearch, I will have a look at it soon, looks promising thanks for this!

Your effort is much appreciated 👍!
