I'm also now noticing SciTE is now not letting me select a language when I have an untitled tab open. It has to be my rig. 🤦‍♂️

I'm just thinking if someone used the AutoIt suite out of the can - is Koda buggy or not. (and it is just my rig). I can live with it if it is my rig.

I'm not sure if it is my version of Koda that is buggy, or it is something else. I'm noticing a few behaviors that are odd. Anytime I try to drag or tweak a input field, the field will resize itself to a height of 21. I can use the object inspector to change the height to what I want however and it will do what I want. If however I do anything after that to the field, it will resize the height right back to 21. When I open a kxf file in notepad to look at the xml, I can see the height defined correctly for the input fields. When I open the kxf in Koda, it will resize all of the input fields back to 21 in height. When I generate the code to SciTE, Even though the kxf file has the correct settings, Koda will make the input fields heights all 21. This is a screenshot of the GUI I'm trying to make. This is what it is actually supposed to look like when running the generated code in SciTE and making the fixes to the field sizes. I've also attached the kxf file so you can see how it is configured. Could someone open it in their version of Koda so I can see if it is my rig or it is an actual bug please? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. I've found I need quizzing software that works like the old Transdumper software. (You can find it here: https://www.gejos.com/) The problem with that software is it runs in Internet Explorer and needs ActiveX. Edge doesn't use that unless you run the browser in IE mode. Even then, Trandumper doesn't work in it. Been there, tried to get it to work, got the t-shirt.... and the juice isn't worth the squeeze. I looked at a bunch of other apps out there and it is either super pricey, crippled in features, very clunky to use, or just doesn't do what I need. So, I decided to dust off my AutoIt skills and build an app that can do it. I'm looking to get most of the the basic functionality of Trandumper in a GUI, use CSV files to store the test, and keep it simple. I don't see it working on mobile and have no plans to do that. I won't have drag and drop support either. Other than that, I should be able to get it to work. If anyone is interested in helping me code this thing, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at hooking into the control itself so you don't have to rely on color? It would be MUCH more stable

IE isn't in Windows 11 AFAIK. You could switch to this to make what you want work:

Heather, have you checked to see if the installer supports command line switches? If it does then you can greatly simplify your script. If you don't know how to check, do this: From a DOS prompt enter the full file path and file name along with a /? switch. For example the installer.exe file may be located in a folder on the root of your C drive and the folder is called test. So the path along with the switch would be C:\test\installer.exe /? If the installer does support command line switches your DOS command should report a list of supported switches. Edit: in looking at the software you are installing, you also may want to look at this article: https://blogs.sap.com/2014/05/29/sapgui-installation-server-part-1-getting-started/

Have you ever tried the Regex GUI script (Its a button) that is at the bottom of the Regex tutorial in the help file? It is a regex tester and it works quite well. Look for StringRegExpGUI.au3

Rule of AutoIt coding thumb - If you have things that pretty much repeat more that once - make a function. You made the function, but still repeated a bunch of stuff. Can you make the values you are looking for declared locally in your function? That would both shorten the code and make your script faster overall.

A quick question for @abberration I have the Volatran software installer (link is in my signature) and one of my features is it can look at what OS one has so it won't install something that the OS doesn't support. Also it does profiles so when say you have a department that always has the same software, you can simply pick that profile and all the needed software is automatically added to the list of items to install. How hard would it be to add those features?

You know - many years after I left a job I STILL have the main admin ID and PW for a root account that can be used all across the company. They won't change the PW for it is hard coded in MANY things. When I was there some idiot coded a script that they sent me to fix and lord and behold - he coded the ID and PW. Should I have it? No. Have I ever used it? No. It was something I just kept in my back pocket for I did IT support for them and now & again you need to fix things.

Confuzzled is correct. (Thanks for doing the background work on that) Please get with your group that handles IT security and also see if you are even permitted to use Autoit in your corporate environment. This is the sort of thing that asking permission first is much better than trying to get forgiven after. In my corporate career I've seen people lose their jobs over doing something like this and not getting in writing permission first.

That method of using mouse positions to send data to fields is not a good idea. A much more stable approach is to get the control ID the field in question in the window then send to that control. Question: Are you working with a website? If yes, then you may want to look at this:

When you look in the help file that is in the AutoIt suite that you installed on your PC, look up the Tutorial - Regular Expression. Scrool to the bottom and you will see a button that says "Open StringRegExpGUI.au3" This will open the au3 file in SciTE. Run it. The script is a tool to test strings. This will make it easy for you to try different things and learn it all fast. Look at the attached picture and you will know exactly what to look for. When you run it, the app will look like this:
