RepublicCommando

Found this just yesterday, I've already implemented it into a project (Server of another app). I do have a problem though. Cin() blocks until something is sent to the console (Enter pressed). I am trying to use THIS AutoIt thread implementation to do the console stuff in a separate thread, and potentially separate client TCP stuff into threads as well, but it would be SO much easier just to allow Cin to return 0 if enter isn't pressed. I have Cin in a loop where I'm doing a lot of other networking stuff, but you can't do that if Cin is blocking everything until a command is entered..

Just found this a couple days ago, I really like it! I have an example (heavily modified, though the display is close to the same, minus the progress bar and secondary window). This example is a great way to solve the inability to use GUIOnEventMode, and a great way to add more constantly updating code (like Network games, etc) in the future. This example has two scripts: Main.au3, and App.au3, where App.au3 is essentially the GUI code. Main.au3 has Three functions that get called automagicly for convenience and conservation sake: -OnStart(), which is invoked after the code is ready to roll -OnUpdate($FrameTime), which is invoked $UPDATESPERSECOND (a global constant) * Second, and supplies the time between frames, incase you need time sensitive code to adjust for lost time. -OnPreStop(), which is the function where you would put clean up code, all OnUpdate code is still valid in this function. -DoStop(), which causes the program to request stop immediately, obviously. App.au3 is the modified GUI code. Main.au3: #cs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AutoIt Version: 3.3.14.2 Author: Jon/~RepComm Script Function: Main (Runs update clock, and exposes functions for application use) #ce ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include "App.au3" Opt ("MustDeclareVars", 1) Global Const $UPDATESPERSECOND = 30 Global $STATE = False ; Set to False when exiting from this script (Normally we just check _App_GetState() from App.au3) #Region =======Internal======== Init () Func Init() ; Called to initialize everything (Entry point) $STATE = True ;Global Const $UPDATESPERSECOND = 30 Global Const $TimeBetweenUpdates = 1000 / $UPDATESPERSECOND ; 1000 Millis = 1 second Global $IsRunning = true Global $oTimer = TimerInit() Global $nNowTime = 0 Global $nLastTime = 0 Global $nUpdateTime ; In OnUpdate(), this value can be used to get time the last frame took Global $nNowThenDifference ; Every frame cycle, this equals now - last OnStart() CauseUpdates() EndFunc Func CauseUpdates () ; Called to start the clock-invoked OnUpdate function While ($IsRunning) ; Constantly loop $nNowTime = TimerDiff($oTimer) ; Get difference from program startup to now $nNowThenDifference = $nNowTime - $nLastTime ; Difference from last time we updated to now If ($nNowThenDifference >= $TimeBetweenUpdates) Then ; If sufficient time has passed, Update If (_App_GetState() == False Or $STATE == False) Then ; Check if App.au3's code wants to stop Stop() ; Cause program to stop completely EndIf $nLastTime = $nNowTime ; Future use of vars $nUpdateTime = $nNowThenDifference ; $nUpdateTime is always the amount of time it took between frames (Second/Updates), NowThenDiff can potentially be any time inbetween OnUpdate($nUpdateTime) ; Invoke Update function $UPDATESPERSECOND * Second, supplying the time we took between frames (Useful for physics or time relative calculations) EndIf WEnd ; This function ends when the program ends EndFunc Func Stop () ; Call to stop program OnPreStop() ; All OnUpdate code is still valid for use in this function (Until IsRunning = False) $IsRunning = False ; Stops OnUpdate() From happening Exit ; Final stop EndFunc #EndRegion Func OnStart() ; Put initializing or startup code here ; Called after internal is already setup and ready to roll _App_Start() ; Tell App.au3's code to init its GUI 'n stuff EndFunc Func OnUpdate ($FrameTime) ; You can put constantly updating code here ; This function is called $UPDATESPERSECOND * Second ; $FrameTime is the time between this update, and the last one, in seconds.

A nice feature to look into (and I might just do this myself later), would be the ability to apply themes at runtime (since GDI plus doesn't care when you change brush colors, etc). You could just have a global variable that tells when SetTheme is used, and in the update loop, check it, and apply colors to the brushes that are used to draw the gui/controls, then draw them.

Hi, I am trying to use This Json UDF to load a json file and display it in a _GUICtrlTreeView. The code is quite large, but I have separated it into GUI script, functionality script, file functions script. The first two working perfectly so far. Two functions in my file functions script are responsible for the loading of a json file and telling my functionality script to do something with it: Func _ltf_loadfile($fPath) Local $Object = Json_ObjCreate() ;Declare object properly. $Object = Json_Decode(FileRead($fPath)) ;Decode file into this object If Json_IsObject($Object) Then ;If the object is valid, we can use it. objLoop($Object) ;Handle information Else ;Object invalid? Tell user we can't load the file! MsgBox(0, "Error", "Json possibly has wrong syntax," & @CRLF & "Cannot open file.") EndIf EndFunc Func objLoop($hObj) Local $aItems = Json_ObjGetKeys($hObj) ;Get the keys of this object For $row=0 To UBound($aItems,1)-1 ;MsgBox(0, "Rows", "Rows " & $row+1 & " of " & UBound($aItems, 1)) $nObj = Json_ObjGet($hObj, $aItems[$row]) If Json_IsObject($nObj) Then For $column=0 to UBound($aItems,2)-1 _lt_AddChildItem($aItems[$row][$column]) MsgBox(0,"",$aItems[$row][$column]) ;Will display a Message Box with that Array's Cell content Next EndIf _lt_AddChildItem($aItems[$row]) Next ;_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem ($hLangTree, $nObj) ;_lt_AddChildItem($aItems[$i]) ;Function in another script that adds a GUI TreeView Item, with optional name. EndFuncbut I am having problems iterating past the first column. If need be I can post all my code, but I know it all works up until this point because of thorough testing. Here is an example JSON I've been using for testing: { "Game":{    "Name":"Game Title Goes Here",    "Interface":{       "MainMenu":{          "bOpts":"Options",          "bMp":"MultiPlayer",          "bSp":"SinglePlayer",          "bCreds":"Credits",          "bQuit":"Quit Game"       }    }    "Input":{       "inMouse":"Mouse",       "inJoy":"Joy Stick",       "inKeys":"KeyBoard"    } } "key2":"Key2 Text", "key3":"Key3 Text", "key4":"Key4 Text", "num":1024, "digits":{"1","2","3","4"} }I can stick _lt_AddChildItem() in the row for-loop and get items all day long, but I can't seem to get child objects or items from the first row. Doing so results in "Game|key2|key3|key4|num|digits" in vertical order on my _GUITreeView, just no child items or objects for "Game" object. Thank you for reading! edit- Corrected some syntax with the last item in an object having commas when the shouldn't.

My code is at the bottom (didn't want to spam you initially ) GDIPlus works great, with the examples, but in my code I can't seem to get my Editor graphics rendering. The idea is that you -Create a container class object (AutoItObject). -Object is put in an array of container objects. -GDI Graphics update when "Editor" gui is shown. -Graphical representation of objects are drawn based on the container objects array. The Problem is that I cannot figure out why my graphics are not rendering on the child GUI("Editor"). I suspect that it's something about my array of container class objects (I dislike how arrays work in autoit greatly..), but I wouldn't know since I stink with them. I know the code is a bit messy, I'll worry about cleaning up stuff when I get this thing rendering and create some sort of collision system on the GDI graphics so the user can select objects/containers in real time. #include <EditConstants.au3> ;Should technically be included in GUIConstantsEx #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GDIPlus.au3>
