mspaint(er)

[HypercamJ]

Hello,

While I was reading through the really old example scripts I came across one of Richard's which could draw a picture in mspaint. I was trying to set it up so that you could choose the file to draw but you can't have variables in the include function. Is there another way possible where I could set this up?

CODE

$file = FileOpenDialog("Open...", "", "AutoIt Template Files (*.apt)")

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)

If MsgBox(4, "Face", "Are you ready to draw the face? Your mouse and keyboard will not work until the face is drawn. Press Control+Alt+Delete to reactivate the mouse and keyboard in an emergency situation.") = 7 Then Exit

BlockInput(True)

Run("mspaint.exe")

WinWait("untitled - Paint")

WinSetState("untitled - Paint", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Send("^e")

WinWait("Attributes")

;-------------Moved to picture.apt---------------

;ControlSetText("Attributes", "", "Edit1", "47")

;ControlSetText("Attributes", "", "Edit2", "35")

;ControlClick("Attributes", "", "Button11")

;---------------------------------------------------

#include "picture.apt"

BlockInput(False)

MsgBox(0, "Done!", "Enjoy!")

Func ChangeColor($r, $g, $

$pos = ControlGetPos("untitled - Paint", "", "AfxWnd42u1")

MouseClick("left", 38, $pos[1] + 14, 2)

WinWait("Edit Colors")

ControlClick("Edit Colors", "", "Button1")

ControlSetText("Edit Colors", "", "Edit4", String($r))

ControlSetText("Edit Colors", "", "Edit5", String($g))

ControlSetText("Edit Colors", "", "Edit6", String($)

ControlClick("Edit Colors", "", "Button2")

EndFunc

Func Draw($x, $y)

$pos = ControlGetPos("untitled - Paint", "", "Afx:1000000:81")

MouseClick("left", $x + $pos[0] + 3, $y + $pos[1] + 3)

EndFunc

The instructions on what to draw and how must be in picture.apt so you need to understand how that works and modify it so that you can use another file for the drawing. Without knowing what picture.apt is we can't really help.

The instructions on what to draw and how must be in picture.apt so you need to understand how that works and modify it so that you can use another file for the drawing. Without knowing what picture.apt is we can't really help.

The .apt file is just an .au3 file with a different file extension. This is what the contents look like:

CODE

;MSPainter Instruction file

;Picture - HybridTheory

ControlSetText("Attributes", "", "Edit1", "200")

ControlSetText("Attributes", "", "Edit2", "200")

ControlClick("Attributes", "", "Button11")

ChangeColor(7, 0, 0)

Draw(0, 0)

Draw(26, 0)

Draw(65, 0)

Draw(70, 0)

Draw(72, 0)

Draw(76, 0)

Draw(80, 0)

Draw(82, 0)

Draw(85, 0)

Draw(90, 0)

Draw(99, 0)

...

The entire file is huge so I just put the first couple lines up. The rest would just consist of Draw and ChangeColor

The picture.apt file is the instructions on how to draw the picture. ChangeColor and Draw are both functions in the main script.

What I want to do is set it up so that you can choose the file to read "instructions" from.

To tell the truth, I don't even know if my script still works. I tried running it the other day and MS Paint just sat there. It may have been a missed mouse click though. I only ran it once and didn't bother looking into it.

Also, I kinda like that name, mspainter.

I'll take a look at the script and see if there's an easy way to rewrite it to allow different included files.

It's a great script [Runs on XP Home] I'm thinking of having it run as an idle "decoration". Anyways, thanks for looking into that.

[Richard Robertson]

It'll have to wait. I'm at school and still trying to collect my old applications. AutoIt always downloads at about 800 bytes per second here at school so I gave up on ever downloading it here.

Once I get home and have a useful internet connection, I'll be able to download AutoIt and edit/test a new version.

[HypercamJ]

Sounds like a plan

[HypercamJ]

You got back from school right?...

[Richard Robertson]

No. I died on the way home. Sorry, but I do have term papers and finals this week. I haven't had time. I do appreciate your interest in my silly little script though.

[HypercamJ]

If you get the chance I'd be overjoyed. It's a fun script; I ran it and walked out of the room. My dad walked in and was like WTF??
