Problem with Run(@AutoItExe & " /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "

[sensalim]

I have this line in my .au3 (compiled to .exe)

Run(@AutoItExe & " /AutoIt3ExecuteScript " & "Test.au3"

In Test.au3, it has simple GUI window.

When ran, it gives error about not finding GUIConstants.au3 in #include section.

What do I do?

Thanks!

If you are attempting to run this outside of the installation, it will look in the immediate directory for includes.

You can always copy and paste the entire file in the place of #include ... and achieve congruent results.

@AutoItExe would be looking for the Include folder within it's own directory for GUIConstants.au3.

But GUIConstants.au3 is:

#include-once

#include <GUIDefaultConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <ListBoxConstants.au3>

#include <SliderConstants.au3>
#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>
#include <AVIConstants.au3>
#include <UpDownConstants.au3>

Won't that be looking for all these au3 files too?

What's the best way here to do this thing... Confused.

Yes, it would look for those files too. The best solution is not to use files that #include anything if you plan to use the execute command line.

Ok that sounds good... now I need the hex for $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Where in help file can I find things like these? Thanks!

Edit:

It's -3 inside GUIConstantsEx.au3

Yes it will. Your compiled script acts like AutoIt3.exe with the handling of includes when you use /AutoIt3ExecuteScript. You either need to keep the includes with the compiled script or include them into your main script that /AutoIt3ExecuteScript is being used on. As for constants only, you can use a constants generator to get just constants needed and add them into the script rather then including the constant include files. I use SendToA3X to generate constants for me.

Edit:

Global Const $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE = -3
