It's not bad but some example crash or exit script if I press some buttons. Anyway it will be nice to play around with such many functions. Thanks for share.

Hi Andreik,

No worries and thanks for letting me know about the script exiting.

I think it's because AutoIt uses WM_Command ID of 2 to close the main window which some of the controls/buttons use in the ID enumeration. If you change the enumerations to start at 3 it should be fine (I hope! ). I'll update the examples tomorrow as I'm a bit tired now.

Cheers!

Hi Guys!

I've re-uploaded the AutoIt examples, they should all run fine now

Also please check out the following link for more PureBasic pre-compiled examples that I haven't ported to AutoIt yet which show off other parts of the API: -
