    MsgBox(4096,"", $ret)
Next

Func test1()
    Return "Hello"
EndFunc

Func test2()

Oh, you mean a link to automatically create a a script from the example on the current page. Hmm... that might require the use of javascript. Anyone have implementation ideas?

I usually do this:

Highlight and copy text.

Right-click desktop, New, AutoIt v3 Script

Double-click file

Paste text

I suppose you could use a script to automate this process :-)

If you want, I could post a zip file containing each example in its own script file (Abs.au3 through WinWaitNotActive.au3).

yo may have given me and idea. chm files are pretty much generic web browsers correct? cooking up and idea. how about either post every example to a .au3 file and save in a golder when autoit is is installed, and just create a link o all they have to do is just click on it to save to desktop or whatever. if chm files are just generic web broswers.

I'm on NT4, me. MSIE v 6.0.2600.0000 .. and my ^a also doesn't work.

Interesting to note though : AutoitSpy reveals that what looks like a dropdown combobox actually has a textbox overlayed (leaving only the button exposed). Which suggests even more that ^a should work there. Curiouser and curiouser

Ctrl+A causes a history of recently used commands to drop down.

But I've discovered that pressing Esc highlights the active item

I use the filename-completion feature of the explorer address bar* a lot when looking for files, and then I often want to higlight the entire result. I'm so used to using Ctrl+A in text boxes that it bothered me when it didn't work. Yes, I'm a nit-picker!
