Hi 
I wonder if it's possible to interrupt my script when a specific window closes. This is similar to GUISetOnEvent() but the window I'm using is not created by GUICreate(), it's just a window app. 
My script checks with some frecuency whether the window still exists. However, this is racy since this event is asynchronic w.r.t my script. When it happens, my script end up clicking any other window behind. 
Options to consider are
- Always use ControlClick to prevent clicks outside this window.
- With a timer, poll the existence of the window. Still racy but less probable to happen. (efficiency is not required) 
- Get interrupted whenever the window dissapears. (What I'm looking for) 
Actually, I use MouseClick with client coords. 
Thanks in advance 
 

Readability is a Python Library that emulates the "Reading Mode" used by Browsers, ie it takes an input URL, and returns the simplified HTML. It removes headers, footers and scripts.
I made a simple server out of it, which takes CLI arguments for server IP and server Port to start the server. Default IP and port are 127.0.0.1:8900
Example requests that can be made:
http://127.0.0.1:8900?url=https://google.com&output_type=TITLE
http://127.0.0.1:8900?url=https://google.com&output_type=SHORT_TITLE
http://127.0.0.1:8900?url=https://google.com&output_type=CONTENT
http://127.0.0.1:8900?url=https://google.com&output_type=SUMMARY
http://127.0.0.1:8900/health (to check if the server is running)

👋 Hey
I want to call a function when something changes on an element in my GUI. That should work for a combo box (with $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST) when I select an item and for a text input when I type.

Purpose (from Microsoft's website)
The HTTP Server API enables applications to communicate over HTTP without using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). Applications can register to receive HTTP requests for particular URLs, receive HTTP requests, and send HTTP responses. The HTTP Server API includes SSL support so that applications can exchange data over secure HTTP connections without IIS.
Description
There have been several times in the past that I wanted to either retrieve information from one of my PCs or execute commands on one of my PCs, whether it was from across the world or sitting on my couch.  Since AutoIt is one of my favorite tools for automating just about anything on my PC, I looked for ways to make to make it happen.  Setting up a full blown IIS server seemed like overkill so I looked for lighter weight solutions.  I though about creating my own AutoIt UDP or TCP server but that just wasn't robust enough,  Then I found Microsoft's HTTP Server API and it looked very promising.  After doing a little research into the APIs, I found that it was flexible & robust enough to handle just about any of the tasks that I required now and in the future.  So a while back I decided to wrap the API functionality that I needed into an AutoIt UDF file to allow me to easily create the functionality I needed at the time.  It has come in very handy over the years.  Of course it wasn't all wrapped up with a nice little bow like it is now.  That only happened when I decided to share it with anyone else who could use it or learn from it.
The example file that I included is a very granular example of the steps required to get a lightweight HTTP Server up and listening for GET requests.  The UDF is a wrapper for the Microsoft APIs.  That means to do anything over and above what I show in the example, one would probably have to have at least a general knowledge of APIs or the ability to figure out which APIs/functions to use, what structures and data is needed to be passed to them, and in what order.  However, the UDF gives a very solid foundation on which to build upon.  Of course, if anyone has questions about the UDF or how to implement any particular functionality, I would probably help to the extent that I could or point you in the right direction so that you can figure out how to implement your own solution.
The APIs included in the UDF are the ones that I needed in the past to do what I needed to do.  If any additional APIs need to be added to the UDF file, please make those suggestions in the related forum topic.
Being that this is basically an AutoIt wrapper for the Microsoft API functions, there's no need to create AutoIt-specific documentation.  All of the UDF functions, structures, constants, and enumerations are named after their Microsoft API counterparts.  Therefore, you can refer to Microsoft's extensive documentation of their HTTP Server API.  As stated earlier, if there is one or more APIs that you find yourself needing for your particular solution, please suggest it in the related Example Scripts forum topic.

This UDF allows to set an events handler for Mouse device.
 
The beginning...
I searched for a way to disable the Mouse Primary click, and be able to call some function when the click event is received...
Big thanks to amel27 for this one, i only organized the whole stuff to UDF style.
 
Example:
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include "MouseOnEvent.au3" HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Quit") _Example_Intro() _Example_Limit_Window() Func _Example_Intro() MsgBox(64, "Attention!", "Let's set event function for mouse wheel *scrolling* up and down", 5) ;Set event function for mouse wheel *scrolling* up/down and primary button *down* action (call our function when the events recieved) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLDOWN_EVENT, "_MouseWheel_Events") _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLUP_EVENT, "_MouseWheel_Events") _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_PRIMARYDOWN_EVENT, "_MousePrimaryDown_Event") Sleep(3000) ;UnSet the events _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLDOWN_EVENT) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLUP_EVENT) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_PRIMARYDOWN_EVENT) ToolTip("") MsgBox(64, "Attention!", "Now let's disable Secondary mouse button up action, and call our event function.", 5) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_SECONDARYUP_EVENT, "_MouseSecondaryUp_Event", 0, 1) Sleep(5000) _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_SECONDARYUP_EVENT) ToolTip("") EndFunc Func _Example_Limit_Window() Local $hGUI = GUICreate("MouseOnEvent UDF Example - Restrict events on specific window") GUICtrlCreateLabel("Try to click on that specific GUI window", 40, 40, 300, 30) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Press <ESC> to exit", 10, 10) GUISetState() _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_PRIMARYDOWN_EVENT, "_MousePrimaryDown_Event", $hGUI) ;A little(?) bugie when you mix different events :( ;_MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_SECONDARYUP_EVENT, "_MouseSecondaryUp_Event", $hGUI) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN MsgBox(0, "", "Should not be shown ;)") EndSwitch WEnd _MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_PRIMARYDOWN_EVENT) ;_MouseSetOnEvent($MOUSE_SECONDARYUP_EVENT) EndFunc Func _MouseWheel_Events($iEvent) Switch $iEvent Case $MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLDOWN_EVENT ToolTip("Wheel Mouse Button (scrolling) DOWN Blocked") Case $MOUSE_WHEELSCROLLUP_EVENT ToolTip("Wheel Mouse Button (scrolling) UP Blocked") EndSwitch Return $MOE_BLOCKDEFPROC ;Block EndFunc Func _MousePrimaryDown_Event() ToolTip("Primary Mouse Button Down Blocked") Return $MOE_BLOCKDEFPROC ;Block EndFunc Func _MouseSecondaryUp_Event() ToolTip("Secondary Mouse Button Up Blocked") EndFunc Func _Quit() Exit EndFunc
