Thanks guinness. Fixed.

Return values of SetError() and SetExtended() should be docummented as undefined for cases when return value parameter is omitted. That's the whole thing and probably it's the most correct. Documenti

Then it's a bonus for you, because I've noticed that most help files don't have the option to increase/decrease the font size. :)

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.

Ok, so now I use this to have SciTE open the aforementioned chm:

#NoTrayIcon

Run("hh.exe mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Beta\AutoIt3.chm::/html/functions/" & $CmdLine[1] & ".htm", '', @sw_maximize)

Compiled as an exe which SciTE opens by modifying the approriate entry in au3.properties.  Not sure if this is worthy to belong in example scripts.

 

Take AutoIt.chm file from version 3.3.8.1

But I want to use 3.3.9.12.

Fixed.

I'm surprised that Ctrl & + or - doesn't work for you guys.

She removed it for a reason. Probably we should honour that and not add it again.

I read several times the description for Volatile to understand what this is but I don't.

Is there a better description possible?

helpfile for

_WinAPI_GetWindowThreadProcessId 

Retrieves the identifier of the thread that created the specified window


#include <WinAPI.au3>
_WinAPI_GetWindowThreadProcessId($hWnd, ByRef $iPID)

.

is unclear => misleading, wrong.

helpfile says

.

Return Value Returns the Thread ID of the specified window

.

this is wrong. the Thread iD is returned ByRef. not as return value.

udf function is:

Func _WinAPI_GetWindowThreadProcessId($hWnd, ByRef $iPID)
    Local $aResult = DllCall("user32.dll", "dword", "GetWindowThreadProcessId", "hwnd", $hWnd, "dword*", 0)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0)
    $iPID = $aResult[2]
    Return $aResult[0]
EndFunc   ;==>_WinAPI_GetWindowThreadProcessId

.

discussed >here.

Cheers Edano

I understand that means that a callback func won't pause autoit script execution?  Or am I captain obvious?

I believe the help file might be correct here.

The function does return the Thread ID, I believe the process ID is copied to the ByRef parameter, but I'm not 100% sure.

It might though, be not what a user might expect.

I believe the the help file is correct, it looks to me as though it does indeed return the thread ID, and the process ID is copied to the ByRef param.

It might not be what I user would expect though.

no. the return value is definitely defined as the value when you use $PID=_WinAPI_GetWindowThreadProcessId() the return value is set by the return keyword in the function. this is not the case here, so it's simply wrong. no room for assumptions or expectations.
