I’m thrilled to introduce my IStream UDF, a sophisticated library designed to handle the COM IStream interface in AutoIt. This UDF enables management of data streams, whether from files, memory, or other sources, leveraging Windows IStream APIs. It provides a reliable solution for reading, writing, and administering streams in your AutoIt scripts. Whether you need to process large files, manipulate in-memory data, or handle transactional streams, this UDF is crafted to be versatile, well-documented, and user-friendly.Key Features Full Implementation of the IStream Interface: Supports all methods of the IStream interface (Read, Write, Seek, SetSize, CopyTo, Commit, Revert, LockRegion, UnlockRegion, Stat, Clone). Support for File and Memory Streams: Create streams from files using _SHCreateStreamOnFileEx or from in-memory data with _StreamCreateFromData, _SHCreateMemStream, and _StreamCreateFromDataOnHGlobal. Advanced Error Handling: Includes a detailed HRESULT error table ($tagIStreamErrorTable) and a _IStream_GetErrorInfo function for clear, understandable error messages. Utility Functions: Functions like _StreamGetSize, _StreamGetName, _StreamGetType, and _StreamStatDisplay simplify access to stream metadata. Comprehensive Documentation: Each function comes with standard UDF-format documentation, including syntax, parameters, return values, remarks, MSDN links, and practical examples. Compatibility: Works with AutoIt 3.3+ and relies on standard libraries (AutoItObject, WinAPI, Memory, Date). Use Cases Reading and writing large files without loading their entire content into memory. Handling in-memory binary data for applications such as network stream processing or serialized data manipulation. Supporting transactional streams for secure operations (e.g., via StgCreateDocfile). Integration with other COM interfaces requiring IStream. you need: AutoItObject.au3 Example: copy data between streams #include "IStream.au3" ; Example demonstrating the use of _StreamCopyToEx to copy data between streams Func Example_StreamCopyToEx() ;

Run the example Example_IStream() The help file is included with the UDF IStream.zip New update Description: The IStream2 UDF (Interface Stream User Defined Function) is an AutoIt library designed to create, manipulate, and interact with IStream COM objects, implementing all methods of the IStream interface defined by Microsoft. This interface enables operations such as reading, writing, seeking, and copying on data streams, whether file-based or in-memory. Version 2 of this UDF has been optimized for native AutoIt usage, removing the dependency on AutoItObject.au3, making it lighter, self-contained, and more accessible.The UDF provides robust error handling through HRESULT codes, well-defined constants for COM flags (STGM, STGC, etc.), and comprehensive documentation for each function. It is ideal for developers looking to manipulate data streams in various contexts, such as file processing, memory management, or integration with structured storage systems. The previous version has been retained for compatibility reasons. This version 2 is designed to be fully compatible with any development using the IStorage interface, while avoiding data conflicts.

You can use the native WinAPI GetPrivateProfileSection. It says that : Here my take on it : #include <Array.au3> Local $aSection = IniReadSectionEx("C:\Apps\AutoIt\SQLite\Sudoku.ini", "Setting") _ArrayDisplay($aSection) Func IniReadSectionEx($sFile, $sSection, $iBuffer = 64000, $iEntry = 1000, $iLine = 100) Local $tData = DllStructCreate("byte [" & $iBuffer & "]") Local $pData = DllStructGetPtr($tData) Local $aRet = DllCall("Kernel32.dll", "int", "GetPrivateProfileSection", "str", $sSection, "struct*", $tData, "int", $iBuffer, "str", $sFile) Local $tString, $aList[$iEntry + 1][2] = [[0]], $aSplit For $i = 1 To $iEntry $tString = DllStructCreate("char string[" & $iLine & "]", $pData) $sString = $tString.string If Not $sString Then ExitLoop $aList[0][0] += 1 $aSplit = StringSplit($sString, "=", $STR_NOCOUNT) $aList[$i][0] = $aSplit[0] $aList[$i][1] = $aSplit[1] $pData += StringLen($sString) + 1 Next ReDim $aList[$i][2] Return $aList EndFunc ;==>IniReadSectionEx

Version 1.1.2 has been added to the first post. I finally decided to rename the project so that it is more simple and to the point and with a lot less syllables. The new name is "Immersive UX". The main GUI script is ImmersiveUX while the engine is ImmersiveEngine. Aside from the name change, there are some really nice improvements. I was able to significantly reduce the memory usage of the engine process which was nice to see. I also took care to ensure that the process is able to successfully run its cleanup routine of releasing resources and hook whether it is closed from the tray menu, the task ends or programmatically from the GUI functions. For the system tray menu, a left-click opens the GUI now while a right-click opens the tray menu. A ridiculous amount of work went into refining all of the functionality for installing, removing, restarting and upgrading (to admin) the scheduled task. I feel like I have finally smoothed it all out now.

Hi Gianni Your idea is fantastic. Using ControlSend("","","",$HotKey) indeed does not Trigger the registered HotKey, and instead successfully passes it to the current window. Thank you so much for it, I am using it now as the better method for achieving this. BTW, you wrote that it works only fr current window, but out of curiosity I tried also to send it to a non-active window, and it works well there too. This is a great way to send a registered HotKey to the current program, without needing to Unset+Re-set it.

WHAT : is .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) Framework The Common Language Runtime (CLR) is a an Execution Environment . Common Language Runtime (CLR)'s main tasks are to convert the .NET Managed Code to native code, manage running code like a Virtual Machine, and also controls the interaction with the Operating System. As part of Microsoft's .NET Framework, the Common Language Runtime (CLR) is managing the execution of programs written in any of several supported languages. Allowing them to share common object-oriented classes written in any of the languages. HOW : To access the CLR environment you need to create an Appdomain Object - _CLR_GetDefaultDomain() An AppDomain provides an isolated region in which code runs inside of an existing process. Application domains provide an isolation boundary for security, reliability, and versioning, and for unloading assemblies. Application domains are typically created by runtime hosts, which are responsible for bootstrapping the common language runtime before an application is run. WHEN : Would you use CLR Runtime Hosts 1. To access .NET Class Libraries : System System.Collections System.Data System.Drawing System.IO System.Text System.Threading System.Timers System.Web System.Web.Services System.Windows.Forms System.Xml 2.
