#include files

[mr-es335]

Good day,

Maybe a completely redundant query, but where can I obtain information on what #include data is required to run basic scripts. I am apparently unable to obtain a precise answer to this question.

Most of my scripts are for copying and deleting data and launching applications.

At present, I am including both #include <AutoItConstants.au3> and #include <FileConstants.au3> but can honestly say I do not know why...

Thank you for any assistance that one may provide.

If you are not sure where your functions or constants are defined you can use SciTE's search in file. Just select the think you are looking for and the includes directory of AutoIt and you are done.

1) In AutoIt3Wrapper there is directive: #AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=y

2) Look at latest beta Scite4AutoIt3 where is implemented dynamic includes:

Good day,

Real neophyte here!!!

Let me ask in this manner...can I run a basic script without #include? For example:

; -----------------------------------------------
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
; -----------------------------------------------
global $_a="C:\Windows\toggleTaskbarAutohide.exe"
global $_f1="C:\RML\SAC\SAC64.exe C:\RML\Audio\Session_Master\Session_Master.mxs"
global $_f2="C:\RML\SAW\SAWStudio64.exe C:\RML\Audio\Session_Master\Session_Master.edl"
; -----------------------------------------------
Run($_a)
; -----------------------------------------------
Run($_f1)
Sleep(500)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_RIGHT, 27, 56, 1, 0)
Send("{F12}")
Sleep(2000)
;----------------
Run($_f2)
Sleep(500)
Send("{Alt}")
; -----------------------------------------------
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 1562, 126, 1, 0)
Send("{o}")
; -----------------------------------------------

Please advise? Thanks!

; -----------------------------------------------

;#include <AutoItConstants.au3> ; -> now not needed
Global Const $MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT = "left"
Global Const $MOUSE_CLICK_RIGHT = "right"

; -----------------------------------------------
global $_a="C:\Windows\toggleTaskbarAutohide.exe"
global $_f1="C:\RML\SAC\SAC64.exe C:\RML\Audio\Session_Master\Session_Master.mxs"
global $_f2="C:\RML\SAW\SAWStudio64.exe C:\RML\Audio\Session_Master\Session_Master.edl"
; -----------------------------------------------
Run($_a)
; -----------------------------------------------
Run($_f1)
Sleep(500)
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_RIGHT, 27, 56, 1, 0)
Send("{F12}")
Sleep(2000)
;----------------
Run($_f2)
Sleep(500)
Send("{Alt}")
; -----------------------------------------------
MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 1562, 126, 1, 0)
Send("{o}")
; -----------------------------------------------

As long you declare all your constants and functions that you use in your script you don't need to include anything. Zedna gave you such an example.

[mr-es335]

Yes...however, Zedna's example did not come until after I had submitted mine...

The explanation that you provided, Andreik, would have sufficed if such had been provided at the outset...so..."Thank you!"
