Hi @genius257, Very cool, I'm not familiar with this stuff, but it looks interesting. You've done a great job implementing it in AutoIt! I tried creating some simple test toasts in XML, but not all the tags work correctly at the moment (for example, the <image> tag doesn't display the image if the "src=" parameter is a URL...). Furthermore, it's mandatory to specify the activationType="background" parameter in the initial <toast...> tag... To generate my test toasts in XML, I installed this app (which also has ready-made templates): https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh5xsl1 then, to insert the generated XML code into your example listing in AutoIt, I copy the generated code to the clipboard (select the listing and press Ctrl-C), and immediately run this little script (F5 in SciTE), which adapts it and puts it back in the clipboard. I then paste it into the AutoIt listing. Local $sVarName = "$sToast" Local $aStr = StringSplit(ClipGet(), @CRLF, 1) ; get the clipboard content Local $sListing ; = "Func " & $sFuntionName & "()" & @CRLF $sListing &= 'Local ' & $sVarName & ' = ""' & @CRLF For $i = 1 To $aStr[0] $sListing &= $sVarName & ' &= "' & StringReplace($aStr[$i], '"', '""') & '" ' & @CRLF Next ClipPut($sListing) ConsoleWrite($sListing) This is an example of output (which I later modified a bit) to insert into the example script. Local $sToast = "" $sToast &= "<toast activationType=""background"" launch=""action=viewAlarm&amp;alarmId=3"" scenario=""alarm"">" $sToast &= "" $sToast &= " <visual>" $sToast &= " <binding template=""ToastGeneric"">" $sToast &= " <text>Time to wake up!</text>" $sToast &= " <text>To prove you're awake, select which of the following fruits is yellow...</text>" $sToast &= ' <image placement="appLogoOverride" src="file://' & @TempDir & '\e21cd29c9fb51c3a5b82f009ec33fc997d2edd1ece931e8568f37e205c445778.jpeg" hint-crop="circle"/>' $sToast &= " </binding>" $sToast &= " </visual>" $sToast &= "" $sToast &= " <actions>" $sToast &= "" $sToast &= " <input id=""answer"" type=""selection"" defaultInput=""wrongDefault"">" $sToast &= " <selection id=""wrong"" content=""Orange""/>" $sToast &= " <selection id=""wrongDefault"" content=""Blueberry""/>" $sToast &= " <selection id=""right"" content=""Banana""/>" $sToast &= " <selection id=""wrong"" content=""Avacado""/>" $sToast &= " <selection id=""wrong"" content=""Cherry""/>" $sToast &= " </input>" $sToast &= "" $sToast &= " <action" $sToast &= " activationType=""system""" $sToast &= " arguments=""snooze""" $sToast &= " content=""""/>" $sToast &= "" $sToast &= " <action" $sToast &= " activationType=""background""" $sToast &= " arguments=""dismiss""" $sToast &= " content=""Dismiss""/>" $sToast &= "" $sToast &= " </actions>" $sToast &= ' <audio src=''ms-winsoundevent:Notification.Looping.Alarm'' loop=''false''/>' $sToast &= "</toast>" .. I hope you can implement support for events too... Bye and thanks! P.S. There was a notification "emulator" at this link:: Notifications UDF - Desktop notifications 1.2 (updated Mai 1st) - AutoIt Example Scripts - AutoIt Forums

How do you launch that app?

This is an UEZ's Example08 companion script If you're interested in generating animations (Example08) and want to use those animation strips found online (search for "animation strips" online) to create animated images, you can use this script to easily extract individual frames from the strip and save each in a separate file so you can import them using UEZ's Example08. In short: Save the image containing the sequence of frames to disk. Use this script to set and adjust (visually) the dimensions; the number of frames; the spacing between frames; and some other offsets. Once you've defined the frames, press the "save frames" button to generate as many files as there are frames. Now you can use UEZ's Example08 to animate the sequence. Example: 1) Suppose you found this image at the following link: 2) Save the image to disk. 3) Let's run this script and load that image from disk. 4) Set the parameters as follows: 5) We'll get this setting. 6) Now click "save frames" and the frames will be saved to disk. That's all. 7) Now you can use UEZ Example 8. This toy was sketched out to give an idea of the concept, but it could certainly be improved and perhaps merged with Example 8 to generate a single script...

my two cents, You could use WinActive() + ControlSend() to send that key to a specific window only if that window is the active one, otherwise stick with the "global" HotKey functionality Global $HotKey = '{F5}' HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") HotKeySet($HotKey, "MyHotKey") ; Run Notepad for example Run("notepad.exe") ; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.

WinClose($hWnd1) ; Now a screen will pop up and ask to save the changes, the classname of the window is called ; "#32770" and simulating the "TAB" key to move to the second button in which the "ENTER" is simulated to not "save the file" WinWaitActive("[CLASS:#32770]") Sleep(500) Send("{TAB}{ENTER}") Exit EndFunc ;==>Terminate

Running it as is, I get the following error: "Couldn't find WorkerW under Progman." I then replaced your _WinAPI_FindWindowEx() function with asnippet from this piece of code from @argumentum, and it worked fine: Func __WinAPI_FindWindowEx() Local $hWorkerW = 0, $hProgman = _WinAPI_GetShellWindow() ; WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Progman]") ;~ _SendMessage($hProgman, 0x052C) ; <<<<<< force the creation of a WorkerW handle under Progman ; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56132584/draw-on-windows-10-wallpaper-in-c ; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34952967/drawing-to-the-desktop-via-injection ; https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/issues/2074 ; _WinAPI_SendMessageTimeout($hProgman, 0x052C, 0, 0, 3000, $SMTO_NORMAL) ; same as _SendMessage() If Not $hWorkerW Then ; dah Local $aEnumWindows = _WinAPI_EnumWindows(False) For $n = 1 To UBound($aEnumWindows) - 1 If $aEnumWindows[$n][1] <> "WorkerW" Then ContinueLoop If _WinAPI_GetParent($aEnumWindows[$n][0]) = $hProgman Then $hWorkerW = $aEnumWindows[$n][0] ExitLoop ; but is likely one at the end of the Z-order EndIf Next EndIf ; ConsoleWrite("WorkerW = " & $hWorkerW & @CRLF) If Not $hWorkerW Then $hWorkerW = $hProgman Return $hWorkerW EndFunc ;==>__WinAPI_FindWindowEx By the way, very great effect! 👍

... Fun topic ... 🙂 just for fun, here are some tweaks to @argumentum's script above to simulate dragging the window and see the visual effect of the movement under the icons...nice effect.

Hi @MattyD ... I didn't install it, and "WindowTest.au3" works anyway ... ... I also tried this stuff but it doesn't work ... I get this --> !>01:19:22 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:-1073741819 Thanks for all this work! 👍

Thanks @MattyD for the new "XamlLibs" I've been trying to create a WebView using what you said in your previous post, but I'm also getting the error -2147467259 Unspecified Error (E_FAIL) right after this line of code: Local $pControl = IWebViewFactory4_CreateInstanceWithExecutionMode($pCtrl_Fact, $mWebViewExecutionMode["SameThread"]) Since I'm in the dark on this, ... I can only stay tuned ... 🙂

#include "Include\Classes\Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Webview.au3" I can't find this file to try

Well said! I agree with you... ColorPicker works well (manifest patch needed) and callback function works great! P.S. peeking at ClassExplorer I see that there is a "Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.IWebView2" what is this for? can you embed a browser with this?!?

I applied the patch to the compiled executable file instead of AutoIt3.exe and that worked. Thanks

Hi @MattyD I replaced the original autoit3.exe file with the modified version generated by your script (..?! you know things that I obviously don't know) and in this way MediaPlayer.au3 works. Then I tried to compile MediaPlayer.au3 but the generated executable does not work (the autoit3.exe file after compilation is still the modified one). Is there any trick to be able to compile MediaPlayer.au3 into a working executable and then restore the original autoit3.exe file in the AutoIt folder? Bye and thanks

A first attempt at interaction between AutoIt and OrdoWebView2 it seems to me that some small anomalies occur (but maybe it's me who doesn't use them correctly), such as: the value of an AutoIt variable set by reading the value of a property of a browser object is not immediately available in AutoIt, but delays must be inserted before reading its value. However, I have set 3 callback functions related to the following events: "navigation completed"; "zoom change" and "asynchronous JS result". In particular, this last event should be executed only if you use the execution of a javascript script using the RunJsAsync() method. well, although I have not used that method in the AutoIt script but have only used the RunJs() method, I see that the JSAsyncResult callback function is occasionally executed anyway (?). Well, this test script uses a web page that contains a "label" where the text changes to "I'm not a robot" only when the three red cubes have been clicked. (You could use this as a sort of graphical "CAPTCHA"). You can rotate the cube by dragging with the mouse so that any red cubes that are "on the back" come to the forefront so that you can click them. The interaction with AutoIt consists of reading the value of that JS field to check when it changes to "I'm not a robot" and acting accordingly in AutoIt. It seems to work, but I think I still need to dig deeper into this functionality. The zoom change event is executed when the browser zoom is changed. To change the zoom you can hold down the "ctrl" key on the keyboard and simultaneously rotate the mouse wheel up or down. To reset the zoom to 100% press "ctrl" and zero on the numpad. Here is the "experiment". #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include "OrdoWebView2.au3" Global $bReloaded = False ; to be used in NavigationCompleted callback function _TestOrdoWebView() Func _TestOrdoWebView() Local $hMain_GUI = GUICreate("Main GUI", 500, 520, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN)) Local $hButton1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("I give up", 10, 495, 480, 20) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hMain_GUI) Local $aEBWebView1 = webview2_GUI_Create(480, 480, 10, 10, $hMain_GUI, "_OrdoWebView_") ; 6° parameter: Events Callback funcion name prefix ; a javascript function to be injected in Document for a later use from AutoIt via .RunJs or .RunJsAsync $aEBWebView1[0].AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated("function getQSValue(qsExpr){return document.getElementById((qsExpr)).innerHTML}") ; Load web page $aEBWebView1[0].Navigate("https://shzlw.github.io/design/I-am-not-a-robot.html") While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $hButton1 MsgBox(0, 'AutoIt', "Test failed.

Indeed, no need to register anything other than OrdoWebView2.ocx You just need a folder containing the files as shown in the figure below \MYFOLDER | OrdoWebView2.ocx | OrdoWebView2.au3 | OrdoWebView2_Demo.au3 | \---OrdoRC6 cairo_sqlite.dll DirectCOM.dll RC6.dll RC6Widgets.dll RegisterRC6inPlace.vbs RegisterRC6WidgetsInPlace.vbs WebView2Loader.dll _Library-Licenses.txt _Version-History.txt (You can find the necessary files in the 7z file in @Danyfirex's post as indicated in first post above) As @Ninedid, I also did the following: created a folder containing necessary files as above opened a DOS prompt with administrative rights; placed the current directory where the OrdoWebView2.ocx file is located I typed the following command: regsvr32 .\OrdoWebView2.ocx I received the popup message with the message "DllRegisterServer in .\OrdoWebView2.ocx succeeded" That's it, then running the OrdoWebView2_Demo.au3 file everything worked fine thanks all for the feedbacks

You can start the OrdoWebView2 control in "incognito" mode by setting the .IsPrivateNavigation parameter to True in the InitEx method, as described in the OrdoWebView2.ocx control help (https://freeware.ordoconcept.net/Help/OrdoWebView2/topics/InitEx.htm). This way the user data folder should be automatically and silently created in a temporary location and is not stored permanently, but only exists during the session and is deleted when it ends. P.S. In order not to hijack this topic too much, I created a new Topic specifically related to the OrdoWebView2.ocx control
