AutoItX Update

[Jon 1,004]

Updated:

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoitx/

Brought up-to-date with the current beta of the main AutoIt version. It is actually looking possible that I could include this when we release 3.0.103 so quick testing would be very helpful (and doc checking/typos/bad links etc.)

- Docs updated to use same style/template as main AutoIt

Added:

- Added: WinGetProcess()

- Added: "main", "primary", "menu", "secondary" added as valid mouse button types.

- Added: ControlListView()

- Added: ControlGetHandle()

- Added: WinSetTrans()

Changed/Fixed:

- Changed: IniDelete() can also delete entire sections

- Changed: The mouse and pixel functions now have an additional "client area" mode.

- Changed: PixelChecksum() now has optional step parameter

- Changed: Control...() functions now accept the Control ID as an extra way to identify a control

- Fixed: StatusBarGetText() failed when used with no "Text" parameter

Jon,

According to the AutoItX docs it's under GNU LGP License. And that states:

...

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's

complete source code as you receive it,

...

This was a hot issue with AutoIt....changed your mind about AutoItX ?

Don't you mean "helpful" instead of "helpfile"

Some things upon quick inspection:

- ALL references to "AutoIt Window Spy" need replaced by "AutoIt Window Info Tool"

- Is the license up to date?

- You might want to sync the re-org of the "Misc Functions":

Graphics and Sound Functions (Color Mode Opt and all the Pixel___ functions)

Sleep funtion was moved to another section in AU3 docs, too

- UrlDownloadToFile? is that name outdated

- AutoItSetOption: Nix the parens in Remarks "You may use Opt() as an alternative to AutoItSetOption()."

The example in ClipGet() is incorrect:

Set oAutoIt = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")

text = ClipGet()
WScript.Echo "Clipboard contains:" & text

Should be:

Set oAutoIt = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")

text = oAutoIt.ClipGet()
WScript.Echo "Clipboard contains:" & text

Oh yeah license, thanks.

Writing docs. It's not big and clever kids, just say no.

Jon,

The history/changelog at the end of the helpfile does not look like that of AutoItX.

Looks more like the regular AutoIt one.

K, I've sorted those.

I'm unsure whether I'm going to leave URLDownload/InetGet in there. It sort of seems out of place.

[Jon 1,004]

Oops, I'd uploaded an old AutoIt3X.dll - how stupid... :">

@Jon

Any chance adding ProcessList and StringStripWS ? These would be nice additions.

StringStripWS? Nah, if a host language doesn't have any string handling its users should switch to full AutoIt

ProcessList, yeah, I wanted to do that but the problem of returning arrays rears its ugly head again. Could do some sort of delimited string return but not very elegant.

Ahh this is good news!

About the ProcessList, a delimited string would be a little messy, but at least the functionality would be there. I mean at least people would have the option to use it if they needed it.

[Guest gumtoo]

just to say it's great to see a new version of autoItX whatever

the new features are.

Thanks Jon

Updated:

Added the "regexp=" window matching mode.

[bigred 0]

What does regexp do? I searched the forum, and the v3.0.102 docs but didn't find anything.

[Fredledingue 0]

ok, I'v found it.

You should make this thread sticky

StringStripWS?  Nah, if a host language doesn't have any string handling its users should switch to full AutoIt

Agreed, however, the VB-6 (Legacy) string handling functions leave something to be desired.

There are times when I long for the robustness that SSWS() is.

Trim(MyString) != StringStripWS(MyString,4)

Example:

Dim MyString As String
MyString = "    some      text  "



Trim(MyString) returns "some      text"

StringStripWS(MyString,4) returns "some text"

That's the only real example I can think of off of the top of my head.
