I've used PowerPro for years and it had a feature that let you turn an array into a menu. It also let you know if it got a right click. I liked the right click feature because it doubled the menu item usage ie left/right on the same menu item. I tried recreate that usage with a context menu. With _ArrayToMenu you can pass menu items for 1 and 2 dimensional arrays. Note you can indicate sub-menu but using a -> at the end of the item. Use a - to make a separater. Optionally you can pass Tooltips by passing a second array. This array must have the same dimensions as the items array even if not all the elements contain tips. The UDF returns an array with this index of row (and if submenus column), the third element is 1 if right clicked otherwise 0 and the fourth element of the array is the label of the menu item. If the user escapes without choosing an item the the first element returns a -1. Same thing if the user clicks on another window. @error returns 1 if there was no array passed, 2 if the second array has different dimensions than the first. If you use the same label in two parts of your menu you will have to distinguish them. You can do that by additionally making sure that the selection matches the index number(s). Note that you'll have to match the index number plus label before you match just the label because Switch will use the first match it can find. In the example below I am using a check on which column the data is in. If it's not in the first column then it must be the other "Beef". Beef
Fruit
Col2 > Beef
Bread $aR = _ArrayToMenu($aM) Switch $aR[3]
Case "Beef" and $aR[2] = 0
Beef1()
Case "Beef"
Beef2()
EndSwitch On a technical note I attached the context menu to the window itself not a dummy control and I didn't use _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu. Instead I launched the context menu with "send shift-F10" and waited for GuiGetMsg() to give me the selection. Right click is picked up by GUIRegisterMsg WM_RBUTTONUP and Tooltips are done with GUIRegisterMsg WM_MENUSELECT. The whole thing is done with 3 functions.
I won't tell you how long it took me to figure this out but I'll say that on one of my early attempts it had two windows running at once and one was just to recieve the right click an tell the other it got it. Suffice it to say I'm no wiz at Autoit but I really appreciate the support the community offers and I hope someone finds this useful. BTW I wrote a script to produce 1d and 2d auotit array code from excel in case you want to model your menu in excel. Here is the link.

I have an issue when starting Excel with the following code
#include <Excel.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) GUICreate("Excel Test", 600, 440) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "MenuExit") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; Create application object Local $oExcel = _Excel_Open() If @error Then Exit MsgBox(0, "Excel UDF: _Excel_RangeFind Example", "Error creating the Excel application object." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended) ; sit here forever with an option to react every 10ms While 1 Sleep(10) WEnd Exit Func MenuExit() GUIDelete() Exit EndFunc If the Excel is a standard install, everything is OK. If Excel has the Kutools add-in (https://www.extendoffice.com/product/kutools-for-excel.html) installed and active the excel process runs (and is visible in task manager until killed), but it never displays. Disabling the add-in restores normal functionality.
If I add some additional code to interact with the excel application then still nothing happens if the add-in is active. However, if Excel is started first and then the AutoIt code is run, it is able to interact with the Excel session as normal.
Summary: The Excel add-in Kutools prevents excel being started with the _Excel_Open() command from AutoIt. Any AutoIt side work-arounds for this?

Running the first example of _Excel_RangeFind from the help file (note I have added the version MsgBox and changed the path to _Excel1.xls)

I generate the error:
I arrived at this after generating the same error within my code. I'm using AutoIt version 3.3.14.2
Any thoughts?

Hey all,
Ending day 2 of learning AutoIt, and I'm stumped. I wrote an extremely rudimentary script simulating keystrokes for reading/copying values from one excel spreadsheet and pasting them into another spreadsheet, line by line. It works, but it doesn't use any of the Excel UDFs and was just sloppy. So, I'm trying to re-write it using some Excel UDFs to not only optimize the script, but to also learn how to use the Excel UDFs. If the answer is in a help file, please explain as I'm sometimes having problems understanding the examples in the help files.
I'm getting the error:
"C:\Users\johndoe\Desktop\AutoIt Test\AutoIt_Read spreadsheet 1 - write spreadsheet 2-version2.au3" (25) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.: MsgBox(0,"Test","Test",$SourceEntry[1]) MsgBox(0,"Test","Test",^ ERROR >Exit code: 1 Time: 1.804 Here is the code:

This is because I've got to add some checks against the values already existing in the destination spreadsheet before any manipulation. I've spent the last hour or more googling that error and reading multiple posts where that error is meaning many different things, so unsure EXACTLY what the problem is. Would greatly appreciate a fix and/or explanation as well as patience with my noob-ness.
Thanks in advance
