I was successful at getting a program to run and I am able to send commands from my SmartThings hub. It's very customizable, I am super excited. I changed the IP from the default IP so that I can communicate with the server from other devices. In doing so I got an error regarding permission to register the URL. I figured out that running as administrator resolved that issue. However, the Windows 10 UAC shows up every time the server is launched. A bit irritating and I would like it to have it start at Windows login. I was able to get around this UAC behavior by using Task Scheduler. I am wondering if there is a better way or something I am not doing?

Excellent this is very helpful and appreciated. I briefly browsed the example script last night and read through all the forum comments but it was almost 3am. Thank you

This is excellent, Thank you. How would I go about getting this to run a program on the PC after receiving a get command/link?

Fabulous! Thanks a million for your help Martin.

I have created a script to count the amount of weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds to a given date. As I am not very savy with Autoit I have managed to get it working but the loop causes a lot of flickering. I also want to have the GUI window always on top (i.e. BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_BORDER), $WS_EX_TOPMOST) but that causes eccessive flickering. This makes me think that I have scripted it wrong from the start. Would someone please look at what I have done and give me a suggestion on how to improve it. The settings.ini just has two lines: XMAS 2011/12/25 17:00:00 #NoTrayIcon #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_icon=smiley.ico #AutoIt3Wrapper_outfile=Count2Date.exe #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #include <Date.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Global Const $TRAY_DEFAULT = 512 Opt("TrayAutoPause", 0) Opt("TrayMenuMode", 3) Opt("TrayIconHide", 0);show(0) or hide(1) tray icon TraySetClick(16) ; Only secondary mouse button will show the tray menu. $foo2 = TrayCreateItem("Exit") $foo = TrayCreateItem("Restore Window") TrayItemSetState(-1, $TRAY_DEFAULT) $file = FileOpen("settings.ini", 0) ; Check if file opened for reading OK If $file = -1 Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")

It seems to be working fine just needed that one damn apostrophe' in the right spot! eeeeek Sorry thought the script was gonna complicate things. Format OpenAll.exe "program.exe" "myfiles\" "*.jpg" Here is the script: $search = FileFindFirstFile($CmdLine[2] & $CmdLine[3]) ; Check if the search was successful If $search = -1 Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files matched " & $CmdLine[3] & " in the " & $CmdLine[2] & " folder.") Exit EndIf While 1 $file = FileFindNextFile($search) If @error Then ExitLoop $attrib = FileGetAttrib($file) ; Skip directories If StringInStr($attrib, "D") Then ContinueLoop RunWait ($CmdLine[1] & ' "' & $CmdLine[2] & $file & '"') WEnd ; Close the search handle FileClose($search)

Did that work for you? OPPS forgot to compile before testing!! Thanks a bunch

Your right using notepad the problem goes away. However if I can just get ShelExec.exe into a varialbe without screwing up the part of the line that works it will work. RunWait ('ShelExec.exe "' & $CmdLine[2] & $file & '"')

Thanks for the tips, I think you misuderstood, I am trying to get this to work: RunWait ('$CmdLine[1] "' & $CmdLine[2] & $file & '"') The variables would = for example "ShelExec.exe" "my folder\" "my file.jpg" arggghh I think white spaces will be chasing me in my dreams tonight.

THIS WORKS: RunWait ('ShelExec.exe "' & $CmdLine[2] & $file & '"') but I still need to get the initial variable for the external program to work in there. Funny how everything loved life until a folder or file had a space in it.

Doesn't work as expected opens the folder instead of the file. My brain doesn't seem to be focusing correctly. I can't seem to understand the concept.

great that works, so getting a little more serious what is the conversion for this? RunWait ($CmdLine[1] & " " & $CmdLine[2] & $file) Format: $CmdLine[1] $CmdLine[2] $file "ShelExec" "my folder\" "my file.jpg"

Is there a way to get this code to still work if the filename has a space in it? $search = FileFindFirstFile("*.imc") ; Check if the search was successful If $search = -1 Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files matched *.imc") Exit EndIf While 1 $file = FileFindNextFile($search) If @error Then ExitLoop $attrib = FileGetAttrib($file) ; Skip directories If StringInStr($attrib, "D") Then ContinueLoop RunWait ("ShelExec "& $file) WEnd ; Close the search handle FileClose($search)

How do I use this?

If you do that please share sounds like a great idea. Good for watching employees that are playing games too.
