#include downloaded includes put in the Include folder

[spuuunit]

In my Include folder I have downloaded includes from LarsJ. But how do I include these in my scripts? If I do the same as any other includes I get errors. Also, I'd prefer to have Larsj's includes in for example: Include\Explorer.

This is one of his example files, but with my own FileExplorer.au3 ( which doesn't work ) :

expandcollapse popup

#include <FileExplorer.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    ; Desktop on Windows 7, 8, 10
    ;Local $hExplorer = WinGetHandle( "[CLASS:Progman]" )
    Local $hExplorer = _WinAPI_GetDesktopWindow()
    If Not $hExplorer Then
        MsgBox( 0, "Automating Windows Explorer", "Could not find Windows Explorer. Terminating." )
        Return
    EndIf

    ; Get an IShellBrowser interface
    GetIShellBrowser( $hExplorer )
    If Not IsObj( $oIShellBrowser ) Then
        MsgBox( 0, "Automating Windows Explorer", "Could not get an IShellBrowser interface. Terminating." )
        Return
    EndIf

    Local $objShell = ObjCreate( "shell.application" )
    $objShell.ToggleDesktop

    ; Get other interfaces
    GetShellInterfaces()

    ; Get all files with full path
    ;GetFiles( $fSelected = False, $fFullPath = False, $fPidl = False, $iMax = 0 )
    Local $aFiles = GetFiles( False, True )
    _ArrayDisplay( $aFiles, "All files" )

    ; Get selected files with full path
    ;GetFiles( $fSelected = False, $fFullPath = False, $fPidl = False, $iMax = 0 )
    $aFiles = GetFiles( True, True )
    _ArrayDisplay( $aFiles, "Selected files" )
EndFunc

If you are using the full SciTE, Tools>>SciTE Config. Set your User Include Folder (middle of first tab). You can then go to Other Tools tab >>User Call Tip Manager, select your Include folder from the drop down, and select the UDF you would like to parse through. This will add the call tips when writing code. Be aware, you'll need to close and relaunch SciTE IIRC.

Edit: Or of course you can put in the full path, as mentioned in the help file.

I'm not using SciTE. I tried using full path, but that didn't seem to help.

#include <C:\Programs\AutoIt\Include\Explorer\FileExplorer.au3> ; error
#include "C:\Programs\AutoIt\Include\Explorer\FileExplorer.au3" ; error

It actually gives error inside FileExplorer.au3.

Relative paths like this works: #include "folder\FileExplorer.au3". But absolute paths like: #include "C:\Programs\AutoIt\Include\Explorer\FileExplorer.au3" doesn't work. Any ideas?

[Jos]

they both work.....but are you sure that is the correct full path?  I would expect "C:\program files (x86)\autoit...."

what exactly is your issue you see?

Wait... it actually gives error to my included file... It's hard to explain, I'll just upload this small example. I think "ImageSearchDLL.dll" is not a valid path, but I tried changing it to a full path with no luck.

If you are referring to the screen capture above, then there simply is a issue in the code that needs fixing and has nothing to do with #include as such.

ps: post stuff here when you want me to look at it as I do not work with external stuff posted here.

Ok sorry, taught it was the include in the original file first. Been messing around with a lot of stuff I got confused 😵. But thanks for your help!
