Maybe?! But ideally comments should be added as well as passing Au3Check.

In regards to >this thread, I did some research as to why the OP was having the issue and discovered that the help file was lacking some information in regards to certain static control constants. Specifically these.

$SS_BLACKFRAME

$SS_WHITEFRAME

$SS_GRAYFRAME

$SS_BLACKRECT

$SS_WHITERECT

$SS_GRAYRECT

If you use any of these constants in a static control (labels, pic, or Icon controls), then you won't get anything inside the control to show up.

The xxFRAME constants will cause a blank frame to be displayed with no text or other information inside the control

Frame Styles
Static controls can be used to draw frames (boxes that are not filled). Frame-style static controls do not display text.

The xxRECT constants will cause a blank rectangle to display with the inside filled with the specified color.

Rectangle Styles
Static controls can be used to draw rectangles (boxes that are filled). Rectangle-style static controls do not display text.

More information can be found here. I believe this information could be added to the help file to clarify what might happen if you use these constants, as the information in there currently only tells you that it draws a frame or a rectangle, with out mentioning the limitations.

Hi,

Seconded - it has caught me out more than once.

BTW, you can add the 3 ETCHED styles to the list. $SS_ETCHEDFRAME, $SS_ETCHEDHORZ and $SS_ETCHEDVERT will also cause this "issue".

EDIT: It should also be noted that the help file descriptions for $SS_ETCHEDHORZ and $SS_ETCHEDVERT are wrong, at least on my computer running Win7 x64. The descriptions say that $SS_ETCHEDHORZ "Draws the top and bottom edges of the static control using the EDGE_ETCHED edge style." and $SS_ETCHEDVERT says "Draws the left and right edges of the static control using the EDGE_ETCHED edge style." In fact the HORZ constant causes the control to be 2 pixels high and shows a single horizontal line where the top of the control would be. The VERT constant creates a control 2 pixels wide at the left edge of where the control would be. Combining the 2 together using BitOr causes the SS_ETCHEDHORZ to be ignored and only creates the VERT style control.

Enhancement request: A new constant can be added, as well as a help file update for:

_WinAPI_GetWindow($parentHWND, 6)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633515(v=vs.85).aspx

GW_ENABLEDPOPUP 6

The retrieved handle identifies the enabled popup window owned by the specified window (the search uses the first such window found using GW_HWNDNEXT); otherwise, if there are no enabled popup windows, the retrieved handle is that of the specified window.

jdelaney,

Requests of that nature should be made to Trac, this isn't a help file issue.

There are lines which I can't understand. Maybe they are in English is not clear enough

GUICtrlCreateCombo

On other Windows versions you can define this size with the "height" parameter if the default value is not BIG enough to contain at least one line

I know that using the style $CBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT can specify the height

GUICreate

extended styles are duplicated.

Add

Extended styles have the prefix $WS_EX_ must be specified in the exStyle and styles without this prefix are placed in the style. It isn't necessary to confuse them as they will have properties not corresponding to their appointment.

AutoIt -> Using AutoIt -> Controls

Although the special format is more longwinded than these methods it is much less ambiguous.

??? Each method can be very exact or very ambiguous

This method of accessing controls is generally only designed for users who are familiar with working with handles.

??? If the beginner would not enjoy, he never learns.

From this question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17307702/dircopy-not-working?noredirect=1

For DirCopy it says the following:

If the destination directory structure doesn't exist, it will be created (if possible).

But if the overwrite flag is not set, and the directory already exists, then the function fails.

JonBMN · June 26, 2013

Fixed. I have a really small font for viewing the Forum (8pt) so this is why I couldn't see it.

Just checked it today, and you have not fixed it.

Remember: the grammatical error is the key DESCRIPTION.

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/fopen/

For files open for update (those which include a "+" sign), on which both input and output operations are allowed, the stream should be flushed (fflush) or repositioned (fseek, fsetpos, rewind) between either a writing operation followed by a reading operation or a reading operation which did not reach the end-of-file followed by a writing operation.

AZJIO,

Those functions were updated by me ages ago, plus any examples you post for the help file should pass...

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7

especially if you're updating the Russian help file.

When I run the example he shows no change. Twice Notepad starts with the same string.

Local Const $sFile = "test.txt"
Local $hFile = FileOpen($sFile, 1)

; Check if file opened for writing OK
If $hFile = -1 Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

; Write something to the file.
FileWriteLine($hFile, "Line1")

; Run notepad to show that the file is empty because it hasn't been flushed yet.
RunWait("notepad.exe " & $sFile)

; Flush the file to disk.
FileFlush($hFile)

; Run notepad again to show that the contents of the file are now flushed to disk.
RunWait("notepad.exe " & $sFile)

; Close the handle.
FileClose($hFile)

; Clean up the temporary file.
FileDelete($sFile)

.

plus any examples you post for the help file should pass...

This time you have not checked out before making the claim.
