Das Ami Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hey guys it's me again.I'm trying to make a program that I can run in the background, it's main purpose is to check a site-sourcecode for updates and alarm me if anything changes.Is that even possible with autoit?

PsaltyDS Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) Hey guys it's me again.I'm trying to make a program that I can run in the background, it's main purpose is to check a site-sourcecode for updates and alarm me if anything changes.Is that even possible with autoit?Just set the "#NoTrayIcon" option for no tray icon and don't put anything in the script that pops a window, or at least use @SW_HIDE with Run() and RunWait(). If that's not enough, what do you mean by "in the background"? Edited October 6, 2006 by PsaltyDS Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Das Ami Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 If that's not enough, what do you mean by "in the background"?Minimized or even better in the tray icon, the problem is that I have to check a certain site for updates without having a window in the foreground or autoit interrupting me.

Das Ami Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 just dont create a gui...????????I need to know if it's possible to check the site-sourcecode for updates.The only thing I can think about is using mouseclicks and that's not an option.

Das Ami Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 If you keep this vaguery up any longer we could string your posts into a poem and hopefully it will make sense as art.Lar.Geez... Well sorry I'm not a native speaker.Alright I'll sum it up again.I need a "silent" script that's playing the watchdog for me, without popping up to check the website for updates.

(with mouseclicks as an example)Have you bothered to look at _InetGetSource()? Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...

(I guess that qualifies as school doesn't it?)The your are kidding was meant 2 fold:1. 10:00 PM ... answered that ..kind of..2. You dare to ask questions about autoit3 without a proper setup where you can Code/Test and Look for Information yourself ... What about get thoings set up first properly and then come with questions if you can't find it your self in the helpfile or previous posted question in this forum .......

What about get thoings set up first properly and then come with questions if you can't find it your self in the helpfile or previous posted question in this forum .......How should I set up something that I don't even know if it exists?That was the one and only point of this thread, to ask if it's possible or if I have to switch to another programming language.I'm not as experienced as most of you guys I'm one of those lazy people who only use autoit to automate their boring everyday tasks.I know that it's in the helpfile but as I said I can't access it right now, if you're upset or somethign just delete this thread, the problem is solved now anyway.

The helpfile is also online so "not having it ion the PC"is not a valid argument ....Anyway you have your answer and I think the next time you will do some research before asking .....Enjoy scripting and make sure you start using a proper Editor like SciTE....
