AutoIt without AutoIt window and one thread

[pyirrlicht]

AutoIt have way run script or exe file without own hidden window?

Can be this run with one thread?

Sorry for my English.

"AutoIt have way run script or exe file without own hidden window?" I don't believe so.

"Can be this run with one thread?" Autoit scripts are single threaded.

pyirrlicht,

Autoit scripts do not have a window unless you create one, or run under scite, at least as far as I understand it.

Are you sure?

Why? What is your problem? Edited October 19, 2012 by Jos

@jos,

No, thus the disclaimer "as far as I understand it".

Can you clarify this?

Are you sure?haha

Hint:

WinSetState(AutoItWinGetTitle(), "", @SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

huh, this is not a hint

There is not much to explain other than that AutoIt3 has a hidden window as demonstrated by the above shown code.

@jos,

Not to be argumentative but, run the following code with the two gui stmts and without them. You will see that the scriupt itself does not appear to have a window. Please clarify if I am misunderstanding this.

#include <WinAPI.au3>
guicreate('test')
guisetstate(@sw_hide)
_pid_win()
Func _pid_win()
    Local $aWindows, $i, $text
    $aWindows = _WinAPI_EnumWindows(false)
    For $i = 1 To $aWindows[0][0]
        if wingetprocess($awindows[$i][0]) = @autoitpid then consolewrite('!> my window class = ' & $awindows[$i][1] & @lf)
    Next
EndFunc

The AutoIt process / Interpreter has it's own hidden window.

[kylomas]

@all - I see it now, apologies to the OP for the misinformation

You're misunderstanding it. Run the code that FireFox posted and you'll see the hidden window.

[kylomas]

@BrewmanNH - yes, making three left turns to go right!

this is curious, why is there a hidden window?

[guinness]

Because you can do awesome stuff like this >>

Thanks for all.

"Can be this run with one thread?" Autoit scripts are single threaded.

My script use DllCall and this dll create own window, as result I see 3 threads: one linked with advapi32.dll and 2 other.

Autoit scripts do not have a window ...

Try this code for show AutoIt window:

#NoTrayIcon
Local $hWnd = WinWait('[CLASS:AutoIt v3]')
WinSetState($hWnd, 'AutoIt v3', @SW_SHOW)
MsgBox(48, 'Warning', 'AutoIt HWND ' & $hWnd)

Why? What is your problem?

My problem is WM_PAINT message with two windows from one process and 3 threads:

when DllCall create own window, this window is not redrawing.

Perhaps AttachThreadInput is help function, but how I can get other threads ids different from current?

I think you're confusing threads with processes.

Post the code that's causing the issue and perhaps someone can come up with a way to fix it.

I can say with 99% certainty that, your DllCall is in the same thread as your

whatever else you're doing.

If not, I'd love to see the code.

#NoTrayIcon
#include "libIrrlicht.au3"
simple_test()
Func simple_test()
If load_irrlicht_library() Then
  Local $window_size = dimension2du_ctor2(320, 240)
  If $window_size > 0 Then
   Local $device = IrrlichtDevice_createDevice($EDT_SOFTWARE, $window_size)
   If $device Then
    Local $video_driver = IrrlichtDevice_getVideoDriver($device)
    Local $color = SColor_ctor2(255, 255, 0, 0)
; loop block start
    While IrrlichtDevice_run($device)
     If IVideoDriver_beginSceneDefault($video_driver, True, True, $color) Then
      IVideoDriver_endScene($video_driver)
     EndIf
     IrrlichtDevice_sleep($device, 10)
    Wend
; loop block end
    IrrlichtDevice_closeDevice($device)
   EndIf
  EndIf
  unload_irrlicht_library()
EndIf
EndFunc

library here

Note, example from library have changed "loop block", which running from C code and work normal.
