Custom Query

Sometimes ControlGetText or WinGetTitle will return characters that display as a mess of '?'s (in Console output). This is because of an issue with SendMessage with WM_GETTEXT. Windows will sometimes return ANSI strings, and return the # of bytes rather than characters. AutoIt internally assumes this is Unicode and treats it as such - so it displays incorrectly.

To overcome this problem, zero out a buffer, fill it with WM_GETTEXT, then do a simple wcslen() on the return to compare it to the length that WM_GETTEXT returns. It should be roughly half the size if it is an ANSI string (you need to take into account odd # returns here).

I wrote script code that works around this problem, see: www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/148411-fix-for-unreadable-text-from-wingettext-controlgettext/

In the <WinAPIGdi.au3> header the definitions for BITMAPV4HEADER and BITMAPV5HEADER are incorrect.

For bV4Endpoints and bV5Endpoints, the structure lists these as an array of 3 ints. What it should be really is an array of 9 ints for both.

The relevant links which show the structures: BITMAPV4HEADER ​http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd183380%28v=vs.85%29.aspx BITMAPV5HEADER ​http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd183381%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

typedef long            FXPT2DOT30, FAR *LPFXPT2DOT30;

So basically the EndPoints member type is 3 structures of 3 longs, so those arrays needs to be [9].

During testing, this UDF sometimes puts a ',' at the beginning of a number which isn't correct. For example, the below results in -,123,456,789,012,345.67890:

#include <String.au3>
MsgBox(16,"_StringAddThousandsSep() faulty reult", _
	"Result of _StringAddThousandsSep('-123456789012345.67890'): "& _
	_StringAddThousandsSep('-123456789012345.67890'))
