krboun,

Download the CompInfo.au3 file from the topic and put it in the same folder as your script. Add #include "CompInfo.au3" to the top of your script and then call the function just like any other. :)

If you want to be really smart, you can create your own include folder. The Adding UDFs to AutoIt and SciTE tutorial in the Wiki shows you how. ;)

i have to call something like

$xxx =  _ComputerGetMotherboard(.....) ;i do not understand which paramete i should use if i want deviceID
msgbox(0,"",$xxx)

i am still quite confused with so sophisticated scripts :)

krboun,

Apologies - I did think it a bit strange that you were asking such a simple question! ;)

As I read the function, you need to declare an array beforehand which is then filled by the functions - just like _FileReadToArray. So I think you need to to do this:

; Declare the array
Global $aMotherboardInfo

; Call the function telling it which array to use
_ComputerGetMotherboard($aMotherboardInfo)

; Now the array is filled and you can see it
_ArrayDisplay($aMotherboardInfo)

Give that a try. :)

Melba, your array declaration statement isn't right, it has to be declared as an array first before sending it to the function, you have it declared as a standard variable, not an array.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

krboun,

When you call a function in AutoIt, you can pass parameters to the function by including them in the parentheses following the function name like this - Function(Parameter_1, Parameter_2). Note that the parameters are automatically declared as Local variables within the called function and so do not need to be declared again in the code.

Variables can be passed as parameters to a function in 2 ways:

By Value - This is the default. The parameter is treated as a Local variable within the function to which it is passed and any changes made to it are lost when the function ends. So no changes are made to the original variable if it happens to have the same name.

By Reference - This is used when ByRef is added BEFORE the variable name in the parameter list of the function declaration. Now any changes to the variable made in the function to which it is passed also affect the original variable.

I have never seen Func(const) and cannot imagine why you would want to use it. :)

You might find it useful to read the Variables - using Global, Local and ByRef tutorial in the Wiki. I cut and pasted part of it above and there are several examples to help you understand. ;)

BrewManNH,

Have you tried my code? Obviously not, as it works perfectly - I do test things before posting you know. :D

If you look at the _ComputerGetMotherboard function inside CompInfo.au3, one of the first things it does is:

Dim $aMotherboardInfo[1][20]

which declares that variable as an array. So there is no need to declare the variable as an array beforehand. ;)

Personally I prefer functions which return an array that you can assign to a variable, but both approaches are valid. :)

My apologies, I missed the Dim statement, I only saw the ReDim a few lines later in the function.
