LarryBeattie 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 This weekend, I want to start learing autoit or autohotkey. The caveat is that at the end of the month, I want to try my hand with Python. From what I have been reading autoit would be the better beginning as I have no experiene with programming (well a little basic 30 years ago but I don't count that anymore). Or other suggestions?

Melba23 2,683 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 LarryBeattie,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. Reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You should also look at this excellent tutorial - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page). There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading.I think learning AutoIt in a month is a bit optimistic - but good luck. M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind._______My UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
