AutoIt 1-2-3 Lesson Script Error

[Rita]

Total Newbie to scripting. Doing AutoIt 1-2-3 lessons. Section 3 Controlling & Communicating with IE. 16 Tutorial Files. File 01--Search-Forum. When clicking 'Show Me This" Line 16 gets AutoIt Error:

CODE

3 include <GuiConstants.au3>

4 include <file.au3>

5

6 ; create the GUI.

7 $win = GUICreate("File List/View Demo", 614, 370)

8 ; set the font for the GUI

9 GUISetFont(9, 400, -1, "MS Sans Serif")

10 ; create buttons.

11 $btnList = GUICtrlCreateButton("&List Files", 10, 330, 75, 25)

12 $btnView = GUICtrlCreateButton("&View File", 85, 330, 75, 25)

13 ; create the left list.

14 $TutorItList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 10, 150, 330)

15 create the right edit.

16 $TutorItEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Please select a tutorial from the list to your left." , 175, 10, 420, 345, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL + $ES_READONLY + $ES_MULTILINE + $WS_VSCROLL

AutoIt Error box pops up with the following:

Line 16 (File "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Lessons\Lessons\Lesson-6.au3")

$TutorItEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Please select a tutorial from the list to your left.", 175, 10, 420, 345, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL + $ES_READONLY + $ES_MULTILINE + $WS_VSCROLL

$TutorItEdit = GUICrtlCreateEdit("Please select a tutorial from the list to your left.", 174, 10, 420, 345, ^ERROR

Error Variable used without being declared.

For the other 15 tutorial files when displaying 'Show Me This' script the lesson continually brings up File 01 ONLY with the error so you can't learn the other 15 tutorials. Can someone please help?

Autoit has advanced and made some changes since that was written, it does need updated. However you will find many scripts throughout the forums that are in need of updating also.

The "main" difference is the #Include you see at the top of the script.

Here is the update for the one you posted

expandcollapse popup

; includes
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <file.au3>

$btnView = GUICtrlCreateButton("&View File", 85, 330, 75, 25)
; create the left list.
$TutorItList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 10, 150, 330)
; create the right edit.

Thank you so much. If someone gets a chance someone might want to update the other 15 'Show Me This' tutorials since they all bring up the same one which is for File 01-Search-Forum instead of their own. Have a Spectacular Day!
