AutoIT x64 problem

Hi!

I wrote an AutoIT which is supposed to get a hotkey from a .dll resource file and use it. It seems to run fine in an x86 environment, but i'm having problems in an x64 one.

This is the behavior I noticed: (always in an x86 environment)

1 - Running the script in x86 mode makes AutoIT crash.

2 - Running the script in x64 mode works fine.

3 - Compiling the script as an x64 executable and then running the executable makes AutoIT crash.

Here's the code:

#include <ResourceStrings.au3>

Global $ieframeDll = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\ieframe.dll"
Global $Ctrl = "^"
Global $Alt = "!"

OpenFileMenu()

Func OpenFileMenu()

Local $k = GetHotkeyFromResource($ieframeDll, 267, 32768)
ConsoleWriteLine($k)
Local $keys = $Alt & $k

Send($keys)

EndFunc

; Usage example:

;ConsoleWriteLine(GetHotkeyFromResource("C:\\Windows\\System32\\ieframe.dll", 334, 41025))

; ================= Main functions ====================

Func GetHotkeyFromResource($dllPath, $menuId, $stringId)

Local $string = GetStringFromResource($dllPath, $menuId, $stringId)
Local $charArray = StringSplit($string, "")

For $n = 1 To $charArray[0]
If $charArray[$n] = chr(38) Then
return $charArray[$n + 1]
EndIf
Next

EndFunc

Func GetStringFromResource($dllPath, $menuId, $stringId)

Local $ieframeHandle = LoadLibraryEx($dllPath)
Local $menuHandle = LoadMenu($ieframeHandle, $menuId)
Local $stringLength = GetMenuStringLength($menuHandle, $stringId)
return GetMenuString($menuHandle, $stringId, $stringLength)

EndFunc

; ================= kernel32.dll functions ====================

Func LoadLibraryEx($muiPath)

Local $result = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "ptr", "LoadLibraryEx", "str", $muiPath, "ptr", 0, "UINT", 0x2)
CheckDllCallError("LoadLibraryEx")
Return $result[0]

EndFunc

Func GetLastError()

Local $GetLastError = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "long", "GetLastError")
CheckDllCallError("GetLastError")
Return $GetLastError[0]

EndFunc ;==>_WinAPI_GetLastErrorEx

; ================= user32.dll functions ====================

Func LoadMenu($dllHandle, $menuID)

Local $result = DllCall("user32.dll", "ptr", "LoadMenu", "ptr", $dllHandle, "int", $menuID)
CheckDLLCallError("LoadMenu")
Return $result[0]

EndFunc

Func GetMenuStringLength($menuHandle, $itemID)

Local $result = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetMenuString", "ptr", $menuHandle, "UINT", $itemID, "ptr", 0, "int", 0, "UINT", 0)
CheckDllCallError("GetMenuStringLength")
return $result[0]

EndFunc

Func GetMenuString($menuHandle, $itemID, $stringLength)

Local $str = "char msgArray[" & $stringLength & "]"
Local $dllStruct = DllStructCreate($str)

Local $msgBufferSize = DllStructGetSize($dllStruct)
Local $msgBufferPtr = DllStructGetPtr($dllStruct)

$result = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetMenuString", "ptr", $menuHandle, "UINT", $itemID, "ptr", $msgBufferPtr, "int", $stringLength + 1, "UINT", 0)
CheckDllCallError("GetMenuString")
return DllStructGetData($dllStruct, 1)

EndFunc

; ================= Utils ====================

Func PrintLastError()

ConsoleWriteLine("LastError: " & Hex(GetLastError()))

EndFunc

Func ConsoleWriteLine($text)

ConsoleWrite($text & @CRLF)

EndFunc


Func ConsoleWriteIfNull($var, $message)

If not $var Then

ConsoleWriteLine($message)

EndIf

EndFunc

Func CheckDLLCallError($functionName)

Switch @error

Case 0
;ConsoleWriteLine("DLL call successful")
;GetLastError()
Case 1
ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Unable to use the DLL file")
GetLastError()
Exit
Case 2
ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Unknown return type")
GetLastError()
Exit
Case 3
ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Function not found in the DLL file")
GetLastError()
Exit
Case 4
ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Bad number of parameters")
GetLastError()
Exit
Case 5
ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Bad parameter")
GetLastError()
Exit
Case Else

EndSwitch

EndFunc

Also, when combined with other code (which is very long therefore I will not post it unless required...), the script crashes even in x64 mode. I think that solving the above issue will probably enough to fix this one too.

Thanks in advance!

What EXACTLY do you mean by this part?

This is the behavior I noticed: (always in an x86 environment)

1 - Running the script in x86 mode makes AutoIT crash.

2 - Running the script in x64 mode works fine.

3 - Compiling the script as an x64 executable and then running the executable makes AutoIT crash.

Are you running this as an x64 executable in an x86 OS? Because that just won't ever work.

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.

Ooops... No, I'm running my tests on an x64 environment. My bad.

Just to be sure... When I say "Running the script in x86/x64 mode[...]" I'm referring to the "Run script (x86)" and "Run script (x64)" options displayed when right-clicking on an AutoIT script.

I can't duplicate the crash issues, I compiled as both an x64 and an x86 executable and both ran without a problem. I also ran it from SciTE in both modes and it worked there as well.

Hmmm... weird.

The exact environment is Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 in spanish. Probably you are not testing on a spanish OS, but... is there any other difference between our environments?

Also, is it working fine? My code is supposed to get the hotkey regardless of the program/OS language. The example code I posted gets the hotkey for the "File" menu in Internet Explorer 9, so in an english version of IE you should get "F" and in a spanish version you should get "A" ("File" = "Archivo").

Windows 7 x64 here, it gets the File menu regardless of which program is running. If I run the code from SciTE, it gets the File menu in SciTE, if I'm running the executable from Windows Explorer it opens the File menu in that program. Also, if I run either of the executables from the console in SciTE, it opens the file menu in Scite.

EDIT: English version of Windows BTW.

Found the solution!

I was having a buffer overrun when calling GetMenuString. Apparently it only caused trouble with some spanish string...

Here's the corrected code, for posterity:

; Usage example:

ConsoleWriteLine(GetHotkeyFromResource("C:\\Windows\\System32\\ieframe.dll", 334, 41025))

; ================= Main functions ====================

Func GetHotkeyFromResource($dllPath, $menuId, $stringId)

   Local $string = GetStringFromResource($dllPath, $menuId, $stringId)
   Local $charArray = StringSplit($string, "")

   For $n = 1 To $charArray[0]
   If $charArray[$n] = chr(38) Then
   return $charArray[$n + 1]
   EndIf
   Next

EndFunc

Func GetStringFromResource($dllPath, $menuId, $stringId)

   Local $ieframeHandle = LoadLibraryEx($dllPath)
   Local $menuHandle = LoadMenu($ieframeHandle, $menuId)
   Local $stringLength = GetMenuStringLength($menuHandle, $stringId)
   return GetMenuString($menuHandle, $stringId, $stringLength)

EndFunc

; ================= kernel32.dll functions ====================

Func LoadLibraryEx($muiPath)

   Local $result = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "ptr", "LoadLibraryEx", "str", $muiPath, "ptr", 0, "UINT", 0x2)
   CheckDllCallError("LoadLibraryEx")
   Return $result[0]

EndFunc

Func GetLastError()

   Local $GetLastError = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "long", "GetLastError")
   CheckDllCallError("GetLastError")
   Return $GetLastError[0]

EndFunc ;==>_WinAPI_GetLastErrorEx

; ================= user32.dll functions ====================

Func LoadMenu($dllHandle, $menuID)

   Local $result = DllCall("user32.dll", "ptr", "LoadMenu", "ptr", $dllHandle, "int", $menuID)
   CheckDLLCallError("LoadMenu")
   Return $result[0]

EndFunc

Func GetMenuStringLength($menuHandle, $itemID)

   Local $result = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetMenuStringW", "ptr", $menuHandle, "UINT", $itemID, "ptr", 0, "int", 0, "UINT", 0)
   CheckDllCallError("GetMenuStringLength")
   return $result[0]

EndFunc

Func GetMenuString($menuHandle, $itemID, $stringLength)

   $result = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetMenuStringW", "ptr", $menuHandle, "UINT", $itemID, "wstr", "", "int", 10000, "UINT", 0)
   return $result[3]

EndFunc

; ================= Utils ====================

Func PrintLastError()

   ConsoleWriteLine("LastError: " & Hex(GetLastError()))

EndFunc

Func ConsoleWriteLine($text)

   ConsoleWrite($text & @CRLF)

EndFunc


Func ConsoleWriteIfNull($var, $message)

   If not $var Then

   ConsoleWriteLine($message)

   EndIf

EndFunc

Func CheckDLLCallError($functionName)

   Switch @error

   Case 0
   ;ConsoleWriteLine("DLL call successful")
   ;GetLastError()
   Case 1
   ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Unable to use the DLL file")
   GetLastError()
   Exit
   Case 2
   ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Unknown return type")
   GetLastError()
   Exit
   Case 3
   ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Function not found in the DLL file")
   GetLastError()
   Exit
   Case 4
   ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Bad number of parameters")
   GetLastError()
   Exit
   Case 5
   ConsoleWriteLine("Status for " & $functionName & ": Bad parameter")
   GetLastError()
   Exit
   Case Else

   EndSwitch

Thanks again!
