DrDoug Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 This is hard to say, not because it's hard, but because I don't yet know what I'm missing, nor what I'm talking about... but I'm talking about it nonetheless. 😕 I can put a MsgBox on screen when, for example, my sound is either muted nor not, by having the Msgbox say "Muted" or other, but I'd rather teach myself how to put a more subtle indicator somewhere else on the screen, without the bulky, crude, message box and all its screen real estate--maybe a tiny, red capital "M" on the bottom right corner, almost imperceptible. The example is unimportant--just that it's giving information, but done elegantly instead of crudely. What I don't know, and what I can't seem to figure out is what I need to learn to get to that point where I'm able to do what I want to do so that I have a new and different awareness of what I don't yet know... so I'll know about it and then be able to program things the way I want to do what I want. I've looked at the FAQ, and I've experimented with a few things, but there's so much to AutoIt, that I can't piece the pieces together just yet, and I'm bewildered by some of the intricate and detailed API content available. I think what I'm trying to do is to create non-modal information displays. If that's accurate, a confirmation from those in-the-know would be really helpful, and then if you could point me in the direction (of Albuquerque--I just showed my age, there) I need to be going, that would be much appreciated. Bonus points if you can cite the Albuquerque reference without Googling it. ADthanksVANCE
BrewManNH Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 You could do it with a tooltip or perhaps this UDF might be more of what you're looking for? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day. Teach a programmer to debug and he can do his work for a lifetime - by Chirag GudeHow to ask questions the smart way! I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

If it's super geeky and you don't know where to put it - it's probably here. Do not create AutoIt-related topics here, use the AutoIt General Help and Support or AutoIt Technical Discussion forums.
