Question

[Sardith]

I've little C in the past thats about as deep as I've got with making my own programs. I've been using AutoIt v3 for a week now, I can decipher and do little with AutoIt. Befor a blab on, what would be a good way to learn AutoIt? I've read the documentation.

Any advice would be great.

You won't learn it unitl you have a reason to use it.

I do have a reason(s) to use Autoit, sorta interested in making a macro program, a simple bot, hide a exe(s) and last but not least, maybe most importantly... changing a .exe name in task manger.

IE. Tt has a set numbers, and after a given time it changes the name. Program name is 1 let's say, next time you run the program its 21234 or something.

This sounds an aweful lot like a virus type of program feature. Please clarify why this would be useful at all.

Just as others have said above. Until you use it reading the documentation is a good way to start.

The title changer is for the bot, to help cover it up. It's not for a virus, but for Counter-Strike. Vac 2.

VAC 2 does a program name search for known hacks, and if anything I ever make something that goes public Id like the extra step for detection reasons.

I was thinking about what I wanted, I can change the title but, how do you change a .exe name?

why not have your script write another script, save it with a random string as the name, and then run it? save the name in a variable and delete the file when the script exits.

[Sardith]

Could you show me a example?

[Sardith]

Interesting thank you.

[seandisanti]

Interesting thank you.

glad to help as long as you're only doing what you say you're doing. i'm going to remove the code from the other post now since it's served it's purpose.

When quitting the script how would you change the title back to "Question" ? The script below doesn't work.

Dim $titlerename ,$titleexit


Func OnAutoItExit()
    $titleexit = WinSetTitle ("New name of window", "","Question")
EndFunc



While 1
    $titlerename = WinSetTitle ( "Question", "", "New name of window" )
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
EndFunc



While 1
    WinSetTitle ( "Question", "", "New name of window" )
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

the code that i gave was just for a loader. it creates an included file, then renames the file, compiles it, then deletes it when you're done, so there is nothing to rename. the code you've included is bad; you have an extra EndFunc, and you have 2 loops setting the name of the window, and no exit condition for either loop.

you could do this:

$oldname = WinGetTitle($gui)
winsetname($gui,"New name of window"
Func OnAutoItExit()
    WinSetTitle ("New name of window", "",$oldname)
EndFunc

Sorry to sound like a idiot, but I lost your code. didn't save it in my script folder.

Sorry to sound like a idiot, but the $gui... is causing a error.

right, because it doesn't mean anything in the context that you're applying it if you're just copy and pasting. the GUICreate examples all use $gui as variable to store the handle to the gui being created. Change it to whatever variable name you used with your GUICreate.

[Sardith]

Ah.
