Mbee Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I've found another UDF that might possibly do what I want, by @Yashied , but it's too poorly documented for a noob like me to figure out whether it'll do what I need and how, exactly, to use it. Here's a link to it: RDC UDF (ReadDirectoryChanges Wrapper). There's also the official (i.e., non-UDF) function: _WinAPI_ReadDirectoryChanges(), but again, I can't quite figure out whether it'll do what I need and how to use it the way I want, which is with OnEvent mode. The doc page on that function confusingly states: "The _WinAPI_ReadDirectoryChanges() function works only in synchronous mode." But isn't AutoIt always synchronous? Or is that warning saying that you can only use it in Message Mode, and never in OnEvent mode? I'm confused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2016 Mbee, It does look very much as if the seangriffin UDF does not want to play nicely with your 64-bit system, but as I do not have access to such a beast I cannot investigate further. The Yasheid UDF works very nicely using the 32-bit DLL - which given his talent is hardly surprising. This is a sample output I get: 1 - M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\~TEST1~\fred1.au3 3 - M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\~TEST1~\fred1.au3 1 - M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\~TEST3~\fred1.au3.2.bak 3 - M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\~TEST3~\fred1.au3.2.bak 2 - M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\~TEST1~\fred1.au3 The codes seem to be the same as used in the seangriffin UDF - 1 = added, 2 = deleted, 3 = modified. So I would suggest trying to use Yashied's UDF and see how it works for you on x64. You will need to download the zip and place RDC.au3 and the RDC_x64.dll files in the script folder.

Mbee Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Thanks whole big bunches for your time and patience @Melba23 ! @Yashied 's UDF (after some very minor corrections) worked great in 64-bit mode! (I described the corrections and uploaded the corrected UDF here: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/167024-rdc-udf-readdirectorychanges-wrapper/?do=findComment&comment=1331694 That UDF was ideal for me because I wanted to work in OnEvent mode, which it handled with aplomb by creating another thread to watch for directory changes which sent a special message to indicate such changes. Nice! As always, I am extremely grateful to yourself and all the other brilliant coders and posters here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
