Help with Au3lib

[Nahuel]

I've just downloaded and installed Au3lib. I tried this:

#include <A3LScreenCap.au3>
_ScreenCap_Capture(@DesktopDir &'\Screenshot.jpg')
Exit

and this is what I get when I run it:

what should I do?

It works here, are you sure you are runnin in Windows XP and AutoIt v.3.2.4.9

[Nahuel]

Where does it say I need XP?

Nah, I wave win98...

[Generator]

Many stuff in AutoIt doesn't work with Win98, WinNT, i ranyour script it was fine, just double check your Au3Lib and try on XP.

[Nahuel]

Thanks! I'll try it on my other comp. Just one question, if I compile the script on a computer with XP and then run the .exe on this one... would it work?

Yeah! There's an error with the include file, apparently. I haven't tried it on XP. Have you?

of course i have, as almost everyone in the forums , if it didnt work PaulIa wouldnt add it to the download section..

but yet if you want to use this code you can, most people have XP or Vista...

That return value is in this function in

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================



================
; Description ...: Initialize Microsoft Windows GDI+
; Parameters ....:
; Return values .: Success    - True
;                 Failure     - False
; Author ........: Paul Campbell (PaulIA)
; Remarks .......: Call _GDIP_Startup before you create any GDI+ objects.  GDI+ requires a redistributable for applications  that

===========================
Func _GDIP_Startup()
  Local $pInput, $tInput, $pToken, $tToken, $aResult

  $giA3LGDIPRef += 1
  if $giA3LGDIPRef > 1 then Return True

  $ghA3LGDIPDll = DllOpen("GDIPlus.dll")
  _Lib_Check("_GDIP_Startup (GDIPlus.dll not found)", @Error, -1)

  $tInput = DllStructCreate($tagGDIPSTARTUPINPUT)
  $pInput = DllStructGetPtr($tInput)
  $tToken = DllStructCreate("int Data")
  $pToken = DllStructGetPtr($tToken)
  DllStructSetData($tInput, "Version", 1)
  $aResult = DllCall($ghA3LGDIPDll, "int", "GdiplusStartup", "ptr", $pToken, "ptr", $pInput, "ptr", 0)
  $giA3LGDIPToken = DllStructGetData($tToken, "Data")
  Return $aResult[0] <> 0
EndFunc

I've nerer seen a return value like this "Return $aResult[0] <> 0"

Although it looks like PaulIA uses this return type in several of his UDF's

Edit: Looks like it makes the return value True or False

No no, that's not what I meant. I meant that there's an error with my computer and Win98, obviously...

Ah that sucks.. I think it's time for a new computer, hehe... this is quite useful.

thanks for your help.

I had this same problem on a Windows 2000 system. I discovered that the problem was because the system did not have GDI+. You need to include the DLL in the same directory as your EXE, then it should work fine. (FYI - All Windows XP systems come with it automatically, which is why this is a rare issue nowadays)

I do this often myself for a bool return Chris.
