Processus description

[kiboost]

Hi,

In windows 7, when you look at the process list (ctrl+shift+esc), for each runing process it show a description field.

Is there a way ro add such information for .exe compiled with autoit ?

Another question, how can I set up a ctrl+start function ? Say I have my .exe finished, a shortcut on my desktop. And if I hold "ctrl" key while starting, it execute something (of course coded inside the exe). How can I know the script have been launch whith ctrl pressed ?

Cheers,

Kib

It's the "File description" field of the file's attributes. Right-click on the .exe file, select properties, and the Details tab.

There are some functions posted around here that will read file attributes like that.

I've tried these options While compiling from scite, and nothing appear in process list apart myscript.exe

Ah, I thought you were trying to read another file, not set your own description. Add this to the top of your script:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Description=This is my file description

Strange, I tested that yesterday and it didn't work. Redone it now, it does exactly what I want !!

Thanks ;-)

Any idea for ctrl+start ? will look at some sort of if keypressed(ctrl) then .. in the first lines of the script.
