v3.0.103 Unstable - Reloaded

[Jon]

Thank you, Jon.  I know you've uploaded it because I was testing an auto-update script  about the time you started uploading files, so I started seeing all kinds of new files.  Kind of freaked me out, I thought my date calculation algorithm was nuts.

Heh, yeah.

Updated with macros allowed as default parameter in user functions.

And DllOpen, DllClose.

[this-is-me]

Does DllOpen or DllClose break any existing scripts just running DllCall without opening or closing?

I notice the TODO.txt is empty: is it a real sign(for release: :"> )?

You can call DllCall() with either the DLL file name or a DLL "handle" from DllOpen() as the first parameter, per the most recent docs...

Could it be: Feature freeze for the winter? Take a vacation. Release early next year? Maybe?!?

Could it be: Feature freeze for the winter?  Take a vacation.  Release early next year?    Maybe?!?

I just deleted the todo list in the code as it wasn't synced up with the one in this forum. No conspiracy

I'm on holiday Dec 16th to Jan so I'm hoping that it will be released sometime before xmas. I'll probably be asking for some help on redoing some of the docs to be clearer. The boring stuff.

Doc suggestions: Break down each style list by control type; and add docs for missing control styles (such as slider controls).

There are some misc things to document, too..... I'll try to help out

There should be an example section in the help file.

So everyone can use the examples even when you're not online.

I posted several examples in this forum.

I'm gonna list some examples in a file with comments and upload it.

Somebody broke StringSplit.

The help says:

"If you use a blank string "" for the delimiters, each character will be returned as an element."

But if I use a blank string as the delimiter it acts as though it didn't find anything. "If no delimiters were found @error is set to 1, the count is 1 ($array[0]) and the full string is returned ($array[1])."

I'd really appreciate if this could get fixed quickly as it totally broke down my script.

Thanks!

Really, something wrong... StringSplit() doesn't split by empty "" string anymore. Moreover, if you use flag 1 with empty string, Autoit is freezes with 100% CPU consume.

Edit: Hmm, already reported in the bugreport forum...

Silly of me. Every function already has an example in the help file.

I put my child GUI example together with my GUI template in a file.

I think they would be very helpful for new users.

Oops. I guess I couldn't optimize it that way. :"> I will fix over the weekend.

What about adding Handle() to convert strings to handles?

(AFAIK it should be easy to add.)

[Valik]

Jon, got a silly little bug for you:

Func Test($a = -1)
EndFunc

Run that, please. You'll see what I mean.

Yes, for those who are feeling deja-vu, Au3Check also had this problem so I never actually tested that AutoIt could handle a negative parameter.

Some little doc-bugs in this latest release in the GUI-functions:
