Just upgraded my autoit to the latest version

[brodie28]

So I just updated my autoit and beta to the latest versions using the automatic updater. My script was just bringing up loads of errors about variables being used before declaration. Most of these variables were used in the GUI, like $ES_AUTOHSCROLL and $W_HWIND.

I looked through the helpfile and ended up just adding loads of include files that I found when searching for the variables now bringing up errors. My script now uses the following include files.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <IE.au3>

#include <Date.au3>

#Include <File.au3>

#Include <WinAPI.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#Include <GuiEdit.au3>

#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>

#Include <String.au3>

This fixed all the errors, but I dont know which ones I actually need now....

Can anyone help me understand why this happened and how I can remove unnecessary includes?

EDIT:

Through trial and error I discovered the script only needs the following includes to run:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <IE.au3>

#include <Date.au3>

#Include <File.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>

#Include <String.au3>

So because of the update, the script now requires the following includes which it did not need before the update:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>

Can anyone tell me why?

Read the history in the help and read the sticky at the top oif this forum. Instead of lots of unnecessary includes being in one big include they have been split up into more logical files. You have duplicated GuiConstants.au3 because that is replaced by GuiConstantsEx.au3 so remove it. The rest are possibly needed but if you comment one out and there are no errors then it is not needed.

Have a look at this.
