$WM_COMMAND & some function do not work in latest autoit compiler

[amakrkr]

Hello all,

i have an interesting problem. Till recently i was using very old autoit compiler (3.2.9.4) and every script in it works fine without any errors. After i got my self a new PC and OS i tried with the latest compiler and it reproduces a number of errors which i can not solve by my own.

1st error is: Can not find GuiCombo.au3 - but this is managable.

2nd error is: with WM_COMMAND (error description is: Can not redeclare a constant!)

3rd error is: Function name does not exist: _GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth

4th error is: Function name does not exist: _GUICtrlComboSetCurSel

Anyway ... ihope you can give me a hand how to make this work.

Thanks for your input!

autoit]#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <ComboConstants.au3>

#Include <GuiCombo.au3>

#Include <GuiListView.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <String.au3>

#include <Array.au3>

#include <File.au3>

#include <Winpcap.au3>

Global Const $WM_COMMAND = 0x0111 [/autoit]

amakrkr,

There were huge changes in how AutoIt dealt with include files in v3.2.12.0 - your old scripts are running foul of that. There were also many changes to the names of the include files and various functions within them - for example, GuiCombo.au3 became GuiComboBox.au3. mMny contants were added to the new includes - $WM_COMMAND is already in WindowsConstants.au3 and so no longer needs to be delared separately (which causes the error you point out).

I suggest you look at this thread explaining the differences. You are in for a complete rewrite of all your scripts I am afraid, replacing all the include filenames and function names and omitting double declared constants. But it will be worth the effort as the newer versions of AutoIt are much more powerful and have many added features. Just do not leave it aso long to upgrade next time!

Good luck!

It's not that difficult to change them considering you only have 4 Errors.

Replace #Include <GUIConstants.au3> with #Include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#Include <GuiComboBox.au3> replaces #Include <GuiCombo.au3>

_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth() replaces _GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth() ;; Check for a change of parameters here

_GUICtrlComboBox_SetCurSel($hWnd[, $iIndex = -1]) replaces _GUICtrlComboSetCurSel() ;; Again check for a change of parameters

Remove the Global Const $WM_COMMAND = 0x0111 line. It's already declared in WindowsConstants.au3

You may also have to add the line #Include<StaticConstants.au3> but that depends on your script.

That should handle all the errors you are getting now but there may be more that show up later.

For many (not all) of the control changes in the link M23 provided you can write a simple script to do them for you. I had one but I disposed of it a long time ago.
