Anyone know what language Autoit V3 was coded in? Im very curious and can't find an answer.

If you want somthing like Autoit for Android check out Tasker

Think I found a better way using TraySetOnEvent, main loop runs while still allowing tray items to function. If you need to do the same thing with a form and buttons instead of system tray, use GUICtrlSetOnEvent. Basicaly this lets you create GUI without useing While 1/Switch/case... Heres an example useing TraySetOnEvent: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt("TrayOnEventMode", 1) ; Enable TrayOnEventMode Opt("TrayMenuMode", 3) ; The default tray menu items will not be shown and items are not checked when selected. These are options 1 and 2 for TrayMenuMode. Local $idExit = TrayCreateItem("Exit") ;creates tray item TrayItemSetOnEvent($idExit, "EXITButton") ;links tray item to func EXITButton While 1 Beep(500, 100) ; Main code/loop here, runs continually Sleep(2000) WEnd func EXITButton() ;this function runs when tray item is clicked Exit EndFunc

ahhh...thanks

Can anyone tell me why this code doesn't work? It wont run the EXITButton function when I click the system tray menu... It works with a form and a button but not a system tray menu... is it suppouse to? am I missing somthing? Thanks. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode Opt("TrayMenuMode", 3) ; The default tray menu items will not be shown and items are not checked when selected. These are options 1 and 2 for TrayMenuMode. Local $idExit = TrayCreateItem("Exit") GUICtrlSetOnEvent($idExit, "EXITButton") While 1 Sleep(1000) ; Sleep to reduce CPU usage WEnd func EXITButton() Exit EndFunc

Awesome, I think thats gonna work. Thanks!

From the example above.... If you run the following code you will notice it beeps every 3 seconds, but the menus items (cases) no longer work when you click them...is it possible to have the following script beep every 3 seconds and the menu items still function....thats what I'm trying to do... #NoTrayIcon #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <TrayConstants.au3> ; Required for the $TRAY_ICONSTATE_SHOW constant. Opt("TrayMenuMode", 3) ; The default tray menu items will not be shown and items are not checked when selected. These are options 1 and 2 for TrayMenuMode. Example() Func Example() Local $iSettings = TrayCreateMenu("Settings") ; Create a tray menu sub menu with two sub items. Local $iDisplay = TrayCreateItem("Display", $iSettings) Local $iPrinter = TrayCreateItem("Printer", $iSettings) TrayCreateItem("") ; Create a separator line. Local $idAbout = TrayCreateItem("About") TrayCreateItem("") ; Create a separator line. Local $idExit = TrayCreateItem("Exit") TraySetState($TRAY_ICONSTATE_SHOW) ; Show the tray menu. While 1 Switch TrayGetMsg() Case $idAbout ; Display a message box about the AutoIt version and installation path of the AutoIt executable. MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "AutoIt tray menu example." & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ "Version: " & @AutoItVersion & @CRLF & _ "Install Path: " & StringLeft(@AutoItExe, StringInStr(@AutoItExe, "\", 0, -1) - 1)) ; Find the folder of a full path. Case $iDisplay, $iPrinter while 1 MsgBox(0,'this is my monitor loop','') WEnd Case $idExit ; Exit the loop. ExitLoop EndSwitch Beep(500, 50) sleep(3000) WEnd EndFunc ;==>Example

That doesn't solve my problem. The monitor loop should always be running and i should be able to use the menu buttons while it is running. I know its hard to explain... I don't even know if it possible. I want the case loop to be within another loop that is constantly performing its action. So in the example you posted, I want the msg box to keep looping but when I click exit the program should exit. I am using two scripts, one for a system tray icon and menus and one to monitor idle time/CPU usage. I want to combine that into one script.

Hi I'm new to Autoit and the fourm. I have made a script/program that turns the monitor off wen the PC has been idle for a given time and the CPU usage is also under a given percent. It works fine but I am using two scripts, one for a system tray icon with menus to change settings ect. and one to monitor idle time/CPU usage and turn the monitor off ect. So basically I have two loops running at one time, one for the GUI and one for the program's function. Is it possible to combine the two into one script/loop?... Here is an example of what I tried... func guiloop() Switch TrayGetMsg() Case $Exit EXIT EndSwitch endfunc Do $iIdleTime = _Timer_GetIdleTime() sleep (250) call("guiloop") Until $iIdleTime > $sMinutes This almost seem to work, the loop runs and the menus seem to function except the code for the case doesn't run. when I access the menu the loop pauses and continues after I click a menu item, but the code attached to the item doesn't run. I hope I'm explaining myself well enough, I realize this is just a simple example but my full script is over 1500 lines and like I said I'm pretty new to Autoit so its kind of a mess right now. Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated, even if you just let me know if this would be possible or have any ideas at all... I really want to get this working as one script. Thanks.
