<A3LTime.au3>

[anixon]

I have a backward compatibility issue with the latest version of AutoIT 3.2.10.0 in that this code

#include <A3LTime.au3>

;Local to GMT Time Conversion Value in Hours

$gmtime = _Time_GetTimeZoneInformation()

$aLTime = ($gmtime[1] / - 1) / 60 * 10000

Produces errors like the following:

>Running AU3Check (1.54.10.0) from:C:\Program Files\AutoIt3

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\A3LStructs.au3(41,100) : ERROR: $tagBITMAPINFO previously declared as a 'Const'

"long XPelsPerMeter;long YPelsPerMeter;dword ClrUsed;dword ClrImportant;dword RGBQuad"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\A3LConstants.au3(28,65) : ERROR: $CCM_SETBKCOLOR previously declared as a 'Const'

Global Const $CCM_SETBKCOLOR = $CCM_FIRST + 1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

It problem is not resolved by adding the Includes for A3LStructs.au3 or A3LConstants.au.

These are the Includes that I am using

;Include Sub-routines

#include <array.au3>

#include <A3LTime.au3>

#include <Date.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

#include <extprop.au3>

#include <file.au3>

#include <Math.au3>

#include <Misc.au3>

#include <String.au3>

I get a good AutoCheck if I remark out ;#include <A3LTime.au3> GMT time processing is critical to my Script

Help is always appreciated

The A3L files have achieved a level of redundency previously only reached by Microsoft. They were never part of the AutoIt includes and major changes in AutoIt would have required major changes to the a3L files.

I think the _Time_GetTimeZoneInformation() may have been replaced with _Date_Time_GetTimeZoneInformation() in the date.au3 file but you should check what the function returns before using it

Thank you for your help. I found your comments about redundency very very funny. Reminds me of when I was once asked what a Bureaucracy was and after careful consideration I came to the conclusion that it was an organisation having lost its purpose and direction resolved to double its efforts.
