YACE (Yet Another Calculator Example)

[blipton]

I'm trying a simple calculator example, but I've got a couple questions that are throwing me for a loop..

1)  How can you display the results in base 16 (hex) with the "0x" in front.. this doesn't seem to do it:

GUICtrlSetData($Input1,  "0x" + Hex(GUICtrlRead($Input1),4  ) )

Interestingly, the retrieving data part (GUICtrlRead), where the user entered data like "0x1234" works!

2) From the Language Reference Operators page, it doesn't seem like bit operations are supported..   i.e.  not , left/right shift (<</>>), xor (^)..    

     or math operations like modulus (%),  not equal (!=)

    Is this correct?

 

3)  If they're not supported, having the Windows calculator app pop open and posting messages to it seems a little hacky (assuming the user still has the .exe)..   so instead, can autoit link to a dll and call functions from it, this way it's included and hidden?    Are there other ways to accomplish this?

Thanks!

1) The concatenation operator in AutoIt is an ampersand (&), not a plus (+) sign

2) Look at the Math functions in the Help file.  Not equal in AutoIt is "<>".  I guess you missed that on the operators page in the help file.

Thanks!   I was looking at the 'operators' section of the  online docs.. no wonder I couldn't find it!
