Sorry it took me a bit long because I checked ALL examples (from 01 to 18 included) . They all work except example09 (screen capture) which means that yes, all functions you indicated work by my side with _WebP_x86.dll you uploaded 1 hour ago Now that's strange, it captures all icons found in the marked area, text is never captured and the background is white (even if the background was colored or there was a wallpaper on the desktop : background will always be white) Compared to 0.4.4 : version 0.4.4 captures everything correctly, the mouse move, the text in the window, the wallpaper, the icons etc... That's why I suggest to leave it "as-is" if you're ok, as it works fine for everybody but me. If I ever needed to create an animated webp file from a screen capture, then I'll use dll 0.4.4 Many thanks UEZ for all your efforts !

Thanks for your feedback. 1) I uploaded the missing animation. 2) I tested it with x86 and the capturing worked. Did you get an error message? The difference between the two is only slight. In 0.5.0 file exists is using winapi unicode version instead of FB built-in function. _WinAPI_FileExistsW() is also used by several other functions. Another difference is the declaration of a variable: old: long, new: integer. Btw, why are you still on WinXP?

Wow you're a genius A couple of hours ago, you reverted from 0.5.1 to a new build of 0.5.0 (dated Aug 22, 2025) So I downloaded the revised 0.5.0 dll & WebP.au3 and nearly all examples work by my side, which means the options you took when compiling the dll make it work again with all OS's, bravo ! Example 03 ("WebP information" confirms the dll version used : So now even examples 17 & 18 work (they require version 0.5.0+) I didn't test yet all examples but I got a problem with 2 examples : 1) Minor issue : example15 requires "Rostislav Uzunov Animation 960x540@30FPS.webp" but thid file is not found on 1drv (I guess) Changing the string with "Rostislav Uzunov Animation 480x270@30FPS.webp" or "Rostislav Uzunov Animation 1920x1080@30FPS.webp" makes it work, no big deal 2) Example 09 (WebP animation from screen capture) only displays an empty GUI with white background. It worked fine with 0.4.4 but it doesn't with revised 0.5.0 (on my PC) . No more mouse moves or typed text are captured in it. But you'll find a solution for sure, that's why you created this thread I guess, fingers crossed

And the example as promised... Bear in mind the locator could be asked to find things such as structs and enums depending on what we want to resolve. For this example though, I'm only covering the three types I mentioned above. That is: Parameterised Interfaces Classes Interfaces IIDResolveExample.zip

I'm 47 years old. Have my own business. I employ 4 people. Working with "bussiness psychologist" mostly on communication and management in bussines in relation to HR. So. No I do not think so. I think that, You simply haven't thought enough about the meaning of my statement. I know it's sometimes difficult, mainly because of my poor English. BTW. I see JOS and I are still trying to be polite to you. Please respect this.

This is an UEZ's Example08 companion script If you're interested in generating animations (Example08) and want to use those animation strips found online (search for "animation strips" online) to create animated images, you can use this script to easily extract individual frames from the strip and save each in a separate file so you can import them using UEZ's Example08. In short: Save the image containing the sequence of frames to disk. Use this script to set and adjust (visually) the dimensions; the number of frames; the spacing between frames; and some other offsets. Once you've defined the frames, press the "save frames" button to generate as many files as there are frames. Now you can use UEZ's Example08 to animate the sequence. Example: 1) Suppose you found this image at the following link: 2) Save the image to disk. 3) Let's run this script and load that image from disk. 4) Set the parameters as follows: 5) We'll get this setting. 6) Now click "save frames" and the frames will be saved to disk. That's all. 7) Now you can use UEZ Example 8. This toy was sketched out to give an idea of the concept, but it could certainly be improved and perhaps merged with Example 8 to generate a single script...

OK I've managed to get this working for the most part... bear with me. say we want to resolve: "Windows.Foundation.Collections.IVector`1<Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.ColumnDefinition>" broadly speaking, this is what needs to happen. Create a MetaDataLocator - this is similar to how we're creating our delegates. It doesn't inherit from IUnknown, and has 1 method called "Locate"... but more on this in a bit! Call RoParseTypeName. This gives us an array of name elements i.e.: ["Windows.Foundation.Collections.IVector`1", "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.ColumnDefinition"] Use this info to call RoGetParameterizedTypeInstanceIID. As RoGetParameterizedTypeInstanceIID does its thing, it'll pump us for information - by you guessed it! calling our "Locate" function. we are provided with: a name of a typedef and a pointer to an IRoSimpleMetaDataBuilder interface. (I've written an interface library for this one). We need to dig in the metadata for that info, then call the correct method of the builder to send it on. A call to RoGetMetaDataFile will get us an pointer to a IMetadataImport2 interface. This is what we should use to find stuff. In our scenario, the first time "Locate" is called we're asked to resolve "Windows.Foundation.Collections.IVector`1" So we need to determine what this is.. (a paramatised interface). Therefore we should call builder.SetParameterizedInterface(PIID, NumParams). Next time around we get "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.RowDefinition". This is a class. So this time we should call builder.SetRuntimeClassSimpleDefault(ClassName, DefaultInterface, DefaultInterfaceIID). DefaultInterfaceIID is optional though can be left null. In this case Locate() would be called a third time asking us to resolve the default interface (Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.IRowDefinition). Because this is a non-paramatised interface, we'd then call builder.SetWinRtInterface(IID). Once RoGetParameterizedTypeInstanceIID is satisfied it'll spit out what it thinks the IID is. If we call the wrong method on IRoSimpleMetaDataBuilder or provide bad info, then unsurprisingly we get an incorrect IID as a result! I'll do a bit of a tidy up, and pop some code up in a day or two

I divide the project into parts for easier management. The project is in early beta stage, for research and development. 🚀 AI_Assistant.au3 which is included in SciTE_AI_Assistant.au3, but can also be used as a standalone UDF in which I #include "StringSize.au3" ; "https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/114034-stringsize-m23-bugfix-version-27-dec-23" by Melba23 - thanks for that So that it folds the console output, and is visible within its boundaries (especially when it is on the side and is slim) for more comfortable reading works directly with the ollama. I use a small models qwen2.5-coder:3b as default, llama3.2:3b , phi4-mini:3.8b so that I don't have to wait too long for a response. However, I have set as a parameter which model it calls, so that it changes the model per job if necessary I added a new function: _AI_Request which asynchronously sends a request to _AI_Call() and waits for the response. I also added a new parameter $iThink - Enable or disable thinking if Model supporting (0=none, 1=yes/not visible, 2=yes/visible). (Default is 0) to conform with the new ability to enable or disable thinking. (feature since version 0.9.0) Ollama now has the ability to enable or disable thinking. This gives users the flexibility to choose the model’s thinking behavior for different applications and use cases. When thinking is enabled, the output will separate the model’s thinking from the model’s output. When thinking is disabled, the model will not think and directly output the content. Models that support thinking: DeepSeek R1 Qwen 3 more will be added under thinking models.

Wait, let me make sure I have that right. Strawberry is S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. Let me break it down letter by letter. S, T, R, A, W, B, E, R, R, Y. So that's 10 letters in total. Now, I need to count the number of R's. Let's go through each letter one by one. The first letter is S, not R. Second is T, no. Third is R—that's one. Fourth is A, no. Fifth is W, no. Sixth is B, no. Seventh is E, no. Eighth is R—that's two. Ninth is R—that's three. Tenth is Y, no. So that's three R's. Wait, let me check again to make sure I didn't miss any. S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. Yes, positions 3, 8, and 9 are R. So three R's in total. I think that's correct. Maybe I should write it out again to confirm. Strawberry: S T R A W B E R R Y. Yep, three R's. So the answer is 3. ...done thinking. The word **"strawberry"** contains **3 R's**. Breaking it down: **S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y** R's are in positions 3, 8, and 9. **Answer: 3** 🍓 SciTE_AI_Assistant.au3 I changed the approach, and made it as SciTE tool. This way, the selection process, and console writing, is handled internally by SciTE. To do this you need to add the following to SciTEUser.properties (Adding_utilities_to_the_SciTE_Tools_menu) #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # 41 SciTE_AI_Assistant command.41.$(au3)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\..\AutoIt3.exe" "D:\i\Pro\.AutoIT\SciTE_AI_Assistant\SciTE_AI_Assistant.au3" command.subsystem.41.$(au3)=0 command.name.41.$(au3)=SciTE AI Assistant command.shortcut.41.*.au3=F10 command.save.before.41.$(au3)=2 # command.replace.selection.41.$(au3)=1 # command.quiet.41.$(au3)=0 # command.input.41.$(au3)=$(CurrentSelection) #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #---------------------- Contex Menu ------------------------------------------- user.context.menu=\ ||\ >>> SciTE AI Assistant <<< |1141|\ ||\ Execute Selected Path|IDM_OPENSELECTED|\ #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and make the necessary adjustments e.g. in command.41.$(au3)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\..\AutoIt3.exe" "D:\i\Pro\.AutoIT\SciTE_AI_Assistant\SciTE_AI_Assistant.au3" your path for the d:\your\location\SciTE_AI_Assistant\SciTE_AI_Assistant.au3 You may need to adjust the 41 to the first tool number available to you. in this case, change the >>> SciTE AI Assistant <<< |1141|\ as well in the Context Menu After that, select the text in the SciTE, right-click and select 'instruction' from the context menu '>>> SciTE AI Assistant <<<' or hit F10 output: ; #FUNCTION# ==================================================================================================================== ; Name...........: IsMouseOverWin ; Description....: Determines if the mouse pointer is positioned over a specified window. ; Syntax.........: IsMouseOverWin($hWnd) ; Parameters.....: $hWnd - The handle of the window to check for mouse position. ; Return values .: Success: Returns True if the mouse is over the window, False otherwise. ; @error = 0: No error occurred. ; Author ........: ioa747 ; Modified ......: ; Remarks .......: This function uses MouseGetPos() to retrieve the current mouse position and WinGetPos($hWnd) to obtain ; the dimensions of the specified window.
