Compile and Autoit

[wimhek]

Hi

Is there a switch to check if Autoit it is compiled, so I can test is the running autoit is compiled or interpreted.

e.g.

if compiled then

....

Sure. Check macro @Compiled: Returns 1 if script is a compiled executable; otherwise, returns 0.

Maybe naive quest but why and when we check if Autoit is compiled or interpreted.

I dont get it..

Thanks

@Compiled returns 1 if the script is a compiled exe file, and 0 if run (interpreted) from SciTE.

This can be useful if you want to run some functions (check authorization etc.) when run on a customers PC as an exe but suppress the function when you develop and run the script from SciTE.

I got the meaning now Water...Thank you for another explanation you gave me..

I use it when using icons from compiled EXE.

If @Compiled Then
        $ico = @ScriptName
        $ico_id = 0
     Else
         $ico = "my.ico"
         $ico_id = -1
     EndIf
 
GUISetIcon($ico, $ico_id, $form)
GUICtrlCreateIcon ($ico,$ico_id,11,11)
