JohnSAutoIt Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 In the _IsPressed Help example, there is a comment about making sure to close user.dll. What are the consequences of not closing it once opened? Also, if you stop a looping script by right-clicking the AutoIt icon, would the dll be automatically closed if it were after the loop?

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 17, 2010 Moderators Posted February 17, 2010 JohnSAutoit,As I understand it, user.dll must remain open for Windows to run - so omitting to close it has no unpleasant consequences. I was only recently reminded that the use of the $vdDLL parameter within the _IsPressed command is optional for that very reason. If you run a script via AutoIt.exe (e.g. from SciTE) then there is a pretty good cleanup operation done by the Devs on your behalf - not that you should not clean up after yourself as a matter of course, of course!

JohnSAutoIt Posted February 17, 2010 Author Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks guys. I tend to run my exes from Explorer etc or start them from other applications. I do try to clean up after me, but sometimes, you know how it is.
