HI. I was needing to add a program to Tarkbar(an easy way without using objectcreateinterface :wub:)   so I found this. So then I deduced how to add to the StartMenu while I see the shell32 in hex editor search for taskbarunpin|taskbarpin string. I found another two interesting string (startpin|startunpin) So I try out and they work too but to add to StartMenu.

This is not an official way to do this, however it works.

$sFileLnk parameter must be Link(.lnk) to our program.

;~ Success: True.
;~ Failure: False.

Func DeleteFromTaskBar($sFileLnk)
Return _WinAPI_ShellExecute($sFileLnk,"","", "taskbarunpin")
EndFunc


Func AddToTaskBar($sFileLnk)
Return _WinAPI_ShellExecute($sFileLnk,"","", "taskbarpin")
EndFunc


Func AddToStartMenu($sFileLnk)
Return _WinAPI_ShellExecute($sFileLnk,"","", "startpin")
EndFunc


Func DeleteFromStartMenu($sFileLnk)
Return _WinAPI_ShellExecute($sFileLnk,"","", "startunpin")
EndFunc

You can use ShellExecute for avoid to use WinAPIShellEx.au3 as done here.

I know. But if you pass a file path to ShellExecute instead of a .lnk will show an MessageBox.

In that case why do you specify : "$sFileLnk parameter must be Link(.lnk) to our program." ;)

      Add element in a ComboBox if it's not in the ComboBox data
      By FrancescoDiMuro
      Good morning
      I'm working on a little project, and I was wondering if there's a way ( sure there is ) to insert data to a ComboBox control everytime the user insert some text in the ComboBox which is not in the ComboBox data. I'll try to explain with an example:
      - Form with some data ( ComboBox is empty );
      - User prompt something in the ComboBox: if what the user prompts is not in the ComboBox values ( at the moment empty ), then insert the value in the ComboBox values, in order to have, next time the user prompts the form, the value that he entered.
      More pratical example:
      - First call of the form, ComboBox empty;
      - I prompt "A" in the ComboBox;
      - Second call, in the ComboBox I should see "A";
      - I prompt "B" in the ComboBox;
      - Third call, I should see "A"
                                                 "B";
      - And so on...
      Everytime the form is called, I re-create it, so I think I can't use _GUICtrlComboBox_AddStrings().
      I tried with
      Global $strCboStrings = "" ; When the user prompt the form, the code below is executed. ; I.E. : User prompt "A", after the if I should have "A"; ; In the second call, If I write "B", I should see "A" ; "B"; ; If I write "A" again, in the combobox values should not be any changes. If Not StringInStr($strCboStrings, GUICtrlRead($cboVoiceCategory)) <> 0 Then $strCboStrings &= $strCboStrings & "|" & GUICtrlRead($cboVoiceCategory) EndIf Any suggestion?
      Thanks

      Can autoit click a piece of searched text.. like find and click.
      By tommytx
      I have been experiment for months trying to find a way to be able to like script the find button to find some text and click on that text or something nearby.
      Is this possible?  When the search hilites the text of course this is not where the cursor is so you cannot command a click at that point.   I can get the coordinates of any point and go there and click... but I cannot find the coordinates of a piece of text i have searched up and click that..
      Thanks

      add/remove from txt file inside GUI
      By david1337
      Hey guys
      I need help to get further with this script
       
      Test.txt contains lines like this:
      _______________
      Line1
      Line2
      Line3
      _______________
      I have managed to view the content of a txt file in the left side of a GUI like this:
      #Include <File.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> Global $file = FileRead("Test.txt") GUICreate("", 800, 800, 192, 124) $control = GUICtrlCreateEdit($file, 0, 0, 400, 800, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL + $WS_VSCROLL + $ES_READONLY) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, 400, 0, "@Arial Unicode MS") GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF) GUICtrlSetState($control, $GUI_FOCUS) ;Makes sure that text is not highlighted by default GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd  
      Okay so is it possible to make each line become a clickable item?
      Say I want to delete Line2, then I highlight it and click a "remove" button.
      Also an "add" button would be needed to add new lines
      On Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE the changes should be saved to Test.txt (Or with a save button)
       
      Is this possible?
      I hope you can help me :-)

      [HELP] Make a license check for a program
      By Satoh
      Hi.
      I am writing a program that I want to use it to earn some money, so I have an idea that insert the license checking into it. But I haven't had a code yet.
      This is my idea:
      -Put my licenses onto my host with their limit days.
      -Every day the customers run the program with the license and the program will show costumers how many days left...
      Can you give me an example for that program? Thanks a lot if you can help me!
