Detect if script is being compiled right clicking or via SciTe

[legend]

Hello,

is there any way to detect if a script is being compiled by right clicking on it, and compile, or compiling with SciTE?

The reason I ask is because i'm using some autoit wrappers that only will be added if you compile with SciTE.

So I want the script to warn me with a msgbox if it's being compiled by rightclicking and compile.

Look at your hands and the screen, if your finger clicks on the icon and selects compile from the context menu, it's unlikely being compiled with scite.

legend,

While I entirely agree with JohnOne's suggestion above, you might also consider creating a small executable to show a MsgBox and then use a #AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Before= directive to announce that the script is being compiled from within SciTE. I realise that is the reverse of what you required, but if you really need to distinguish between the 2 cases, this would seem to be the only way.

Hi Melba, Thank's, but that won't work, the thing is I just wanted to warn myself In case I forgot to compile with SciTe,

but just right clicked the au3 script and clicked compile, but I can't use a wrapper to detect it, since compiling it without

SciTe ignores autoit wrappers.

 

I think i'm out of luck, no code can detect it because no script if running when compiling it, can only be done with wrappers, witch isn't a option here. I just make a comment in the top of my script that says: remember to compile with SCiTe

If you really want something like this you could create and compile the following script for example C:\Scripts\CompileScript.exe:

#NoTrayIcon
If $CMDLINE[0] = 0 Then Exit

Global $iCOMPILE = MsgBox(36, 'Compile AU3 Script', 'Do you want to complie "' & $CMDLINE[1] & '"?')
If $iCOMPILE = 6 Then
    RunWait('"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Aut2Exe\Aut2Exe.exe" /in "' & $CMDLINE[1] & '"')
Else
    Exit
EndIf

Replace HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoIt3Script\Shell\Compile\Command (default) with:

C:\Scripts\CompileScript.exe "%1"

Now if you right click and compile you can choose whether you want to compile or not.
