You didn't mention them but the reason for the "later" was I want to go over a few things with you anyway.

@BrewManNH

It's not that I'm into or not into doing them. A few months back some of us formed a group to try to get the docs corrected and up to date. It just seems that I always manage to check this tread before the others. Maybe they are doing that on purpose though.

_ArrayUnique() noted and added to my list of files to work at.

[guinness]

Well I'm happy to wait I just want to give back to the community & I felt I learnt alot from the Examples section.

[GEOSoft]

Just adding a post link here for reference to another help file question.

In _TCPIpToName() is says >>

Resolves IP adress to Hostname(s)

but it should be address.

[GEOSoft]

Thanks.

[Mat]

I *think* this is wrong, although checking it is a bit hard.

@MSEC - Milliseconds value of clock. Range is 00 to 999

Should that range start at 000 rather than 00?? It would be wrong for AutoIt if the docs are correct, but running a few tests shows results are always 3 digits long...

[GEOSoft]

I'll have to test that one. If @MSec is 15 then it should only say 15 which is 2 digits.

[Mat]

I'll have to test that one. If @MSec is 15 then it should only say 15 which is 2 digits.

I disagree.

All other macro values are padded to be the same number of digits regardless of value, so @MSEC should always be 3 digits. The current behaviour is correct I think, and it is just the docs that are misleading.

[GEOSoft]

That makes perfect sense and it's on the To-Do list now.

[Valik]

@MSEC returned 00 previously. Not sure why this changed or when.

[Valik]

Oh. I fixed it. 2 years ago. o.o

[GEOSoft]

Oh. I fixed it. 2 years ago. o.o

Now it all makes perfect sense.

I'll change the docs later today.

[Mat]

So it's just the docs that need to be updated to reflect the change then

[GEOSoft]

Apparently so and that's the way I read Valiks reply so if it's wrong you can blame him.

[RichardL]

As I've been using AutoIt, I've been noting things about the documentation. Hope this helps.

Richard.

I've tried to put the corrections directly under the problem, but the forum software has removed leading spaces . (Jos: Changed to CODE box to make that work)

GUIRegisterMsg  (incomplete translation to English)

By default after finishing the user function the AutoIt internal message handler will be proceed.

That won't be        if your Return a value (See WM_COMMAND in example) or if you use the keyword 'Return' without any value.
              run  ?    you?


...al message handler (if there is one for this message) will NOT be proceed!
                                                                     run

!!! If you want AutoIt to run it's internal handler for a message, return the variable $GUI_RUNDEFMSG (in GUIConstantsEx.au3) 

from the function (see also examples) !!!
                              its

I.e. if you want to return earlier than the user function ends and also proceed the AutoIt internal message handler.
                                                                        run

Warning: blocking of running user functions which executes window messages with commands such as "Msgbox()" can lead to 

unexpected behavior, the return to the system should be as fast as possible !!!


Some controls consume internally specific Windows Message ID, so registrating them will have no effect, e.g; WM_CHAR, 

WM_KEYDOWN, WM_KEYUP are consumed by an edit control.

Updated your post to a CODE box to allow the spaces to be shown.

See you have changes for both the AutoIt3 and SciTE4AutoIt3 Helpfile there.

Edit: I made some of the suggested changes. thanks.

Jos

[GEOSoft]

Jos, did you just get the SciTe4AutoIt3 changes?

If so I'll look at the AutoIt3 changes today.

[Chimaera]

Hope im allowed to suggest one

_DateDiff

Can the remarks section be amended to clearly state that this will not work unless the date is in the correct format for autoit.

Wasted a load of time trying to work out what was wrong and i eventually twigged it was the format

I know it says this

$sEndDate Input End date in the format "YYYY/MM/DD[ HH:MM:SS]"

but i never noticed the format bit till much later

Thanks

Edit

And maybe an example of how to reverse dates, i used this

StringRegExpReplace($file_to_change, "\A(\d*)/(\d*)/(\d*)","$3/$2/$1")

Jos, did you just get the SciTe4AutoIt3 changes?

Believe I found them all and corrected them.
