Hi, simple question actually: How to disable the character limit for an edit control? Want unlimited-length (or as much as possible) I know the GUICtrlSetLimit() function but i want to disable the limit, not set one... Any ideas? I thought there was some sort of autoit constant for this or something but cant find what i'm looking for.

I use a DateTimePicker control and now I saw the minimum value for the year it's 1601. Know anyone how can be changed this limit?

Hi everyone. I have a question and wasn't able to find any answer for this. What is the maximum value/limit for TimerInit & TimerDiff. I mean, If I use TimerInit() in my script, how long can it 'last'? How long will I be able to read it with TimerDiff()? I realize that the result of TimerDiff isn't an Integer. It's a floating number and I am not sure what the maximum value is. I would like my program to use $Time = TimerInit() today, and then I'll be able to use TimerDiff($Time) tomorrow or even the day after. Is this possible? and what happens if TimerDiff exceeds the maximum value (if there is any)?

I took a script written by Beege, optimized the code, and removed the global variables. Its one function, reliable, and very easy to use or modify to your needs. I decided to post it because I found it very hard to find a reliable way to get the cpu percentage of a given process. I know that there are a few different methods but I deem WMI unreliable and everything I tried before optimizing this function was to slow i.e. freezing when other CPU intensive processes were active. When monitoring a potentially CPU intensive process, I found it necessary to increase the script's priority otherwise the script/system would freeze which is exactly what I was attempting to prevent! See Beege's updated post: #NoTrayIcon #include <WinAPI.au3> HotKeySet('{ESC}', '_Exit') Func _Exit() Exit EndFunc ;==>_Exit _LimitProcessCPU("MediaServer.exe", 10, 1, 5) Func _LimitProcessCPU($vProcess, $nLimit, $nInterval = 1, $nScriptPriority = 2) Local $nProcessCpu = -1, $nOverLimit = 0 While ProcessExists($vProcess) $nProcessCpu = _ProcessCPU($vProcess, $nScriptPriority) If $nProcessCpu > 50 Then $nOverLimit += 1 Else $nOverLimit = 0 EndIf If $nOverLimit > $nLimit Then $nOverLimit = 0 ProcessClose($vProcess) ; < - Replace this with what you need.

Hi, I'm trying to create an installer that extracts about 586 files (3.2 GB) to temp directory, then executes the msi file. For this, I created a script with 586 fileinstall() functions. Script runs perfectly when executed without compiling. But when executed after compiling, only 263 (~2 GB) files are extracted to the temp directory. The remaining fileinstall() functions returned 0. Is there any limit for usage of fileinstall() in a single script. If so, any work around other than creating a separate script for the remaining files. -Roshith

Is there a way to increase max recursion level? For example this code is using recursion to fill an area with a color but the job is interrupted because of reaching the recursion limit! #include <GDIPlus.au3> $sRegPath = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt" If StringInStr("X64IA64", @OSArch) Then $sRegPath = StringReplace($sRegPath, "SOFTWARE", "SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node") _GDIPlus_Startup() $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(RegRead($sRegPath, "InstallDir") & "\Examples\GUI\logo4.gif") $iW = _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth($hImage) $iH = _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight($hImage) $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", $iW, $iH) GUISetState() $hGfx = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI) AdlibRegister("UpdateView", 10) $iColor2Fill = 0xFFFFFFFF ;~ _GDIPlus_FloodFillRec($hImage, 0, 0, 0xFF000080, 0xFFFFFF00) _GDIPlus_FloodFillRec($hImage, 82, 24, 0xFF000080, 0xFFFFFF00) _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage, @ScriptDir & "\Filled.png") ;~ ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\Filled.png") AdlibUnRegister("UpdateView") ConsoleWrite("Done" & @LF) Do Until GUIGetMsg() = -3 _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage) _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGfx) _GDIPlus_Shutdown() Exit Func _GDIPlus_FloodFillRec(ByRef $hBitmap, $iX, $iY, $iColorOld, $iColorNew) ;coded by UEZ 2013-01-12 Local Static $iRec = 1 Local $aResult = DllCall($ghGDIPDll, "uint", "GdipBitmapGetPixel", "handle", $hBitmap, "int", $iX, "int", $iY, "uint*", 0) If $aResult[4] = "0x" & Hex($iColorOld, 8) Then DllCall($ghGDIPDll, "uint", "GdipBitmapSetPixel", "handle", $hBitmap, "int", $iX, "int", $iY, "uint", $iColorNew) Else Return 0 EndIf Local $iRecLimit = 3899 $aResult = DllCall($ghGDIPDll, "uint", "GdipGetImageDimension", "handle", $hBitmap, "float*", 0, "float*", 0) If ($iX + 1) < $aResult[2] + 1 Then $iRec += 1 If $iRec = $iRecLimit Then Return -1 _GDIPlus_FloodFillRec($hBitmap, $iX + 1, $iY, $iColorOld, $iColorNew) ;go east $iRec -= 1 EndIf If ($iY + 1) < $aResult[3] + 1 Then $iRec += 1 If $iRec = $iRecLimit Then Return -1 _GDIPlus_FloodFillRec($hBitmap, $iX, $iY + 1, $iColorOld, $iColorNew) ;go south $iRec -= 1 EndIf If ($iX - 1) > -1 Then $iRec += 1 If $iRec = $iRecLimit Then Return -1 _GDIPlus_FloodFillRec($hBitmap, $iX - 1, $iY, $iColorOld, $iColorNew) ;go west $iRec -= 1 EndIf If ($iY - 1) > -1 Then $iRec += 1 If $iRec = $iRecLimit Then Return -1 _GDIPlus_FloodFillRec($hBitmap, $iX, $iY - 1, $iColorOld, $iColorNew) ;go north $iRec -= 1 EndIf Return 1 EndFunc ;==>_GDIPlus_FloodFillRec Func UpdateView() _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGfx, $hImage, 0, 0) EndFunc Br, UEZ
