The Í letter. I thought it's a bug, since the HotKeySet should capture any letter, isn't it?
2:52 PM Ticket #2684 (Remove drag behavior of WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT) updated by anonymous
Replying to BrewManNH: > WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT is a real Microsoft Windows extended style, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG is a made up variable name unique to AutoIt. You shouldn't remove the functionality of a valid extended style just because it overlaps something else. > > What I would suggest though is to correct the help file about the parentdrag variable, because it's not in WindowsConstants.au3, it's in GUIConstantsEx.au3 I don't mean remove WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT 's functionality. WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT indicate that the child window's controls should be treat that its parent's control. If you do not specify this style when create the child window, its controls will never been focus using tab key. AutoIT add the feature that when you create a window with $WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT, you can drag/drop the window not only using the titlebar but all the client area. I think this feature is a little annoying with people who interested in using child window. But remove a working feature may break many applications, so I think this should be changed but in a large update rather than a small update.
2:13 PM Ticket #2684 (Remove drag behavior of WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT) updated by BrewManNH
WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT is a real Microsoft Windows extended style, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG is a made up variable name unique to AutoIt. You shouldn't remove the functionality of a valid extended style just because it overlaps something else. What I would suggest though is to correct the help file about the parentdrag variable, because it's not in WindowsConstants.au3, it's in GUIConstantsEx.au3
9:55 AM Ticket #2686 (Random to return max value when min equals max.) updated by czardas
I'm glad you guys are considering this. I also thought of getting rid of max and min. I don't see why the numbers can't appear in any order. If that's complicating matters too much, then it's easy to work around anyway.
9:31 AM Ticket #2686 (Random to return max value when min equals max.) updated by jchd18
Should a condition denote equality of bounds be really necessary (which I find doubtful, since its way clearer to use an If or a ternary construct to explicitely test for that), then it should be set in @extended and not in @error. That's because no error occured in this situation. @Extended would then mean "randomlessness" — if we dare coining the term — a perfectly suitable use for @extended. This wouldn't be script breaking but script engine fixing. Anyone claiming otherwise is in a state of sin.

10:52 PM Ticket #2686 (Random to return max value when min equals max.) updated by Melba23
Strongly supported. The argument that the return if "Min = Max" is not truly random is specious - as jchd has demonstrated. I am less in favour of the suggestion that @error should remain set to maintain backwards compatiblity - although it could act as a flag indicating that the "Min = Max" condition exists. But the main return should certainly be the value of the 2 equal limits. M23
10:50 PM Ticket #2686 (Random to return max value when min equals max.) updated by czardas
You can treat it as an error and still return a value within the infinitesimal range between min and max.
10:46 PM Ticket #2686 (Random to return max value when min equals max.) updated by anonymous
If someone wishes to move it to bugs, then fine. It was a choice decision, so I never thought of it as a bug.
10:39 PM Ticket #2686 (Random to return max value when min equals max.) updated by jchd18
This should file under Bugs instead of Feature request! Any script relying on Random($n, $n, 1) with $n an integer raising an error is broken, by the mere mathematical definition of the interval [n, n], n ∈ ℕ because [n, n] = {n}, the singleton n. I don't know how many times this must be stressed before someone engages brain. Pick a random card out of a shuffled deck of 52 cards: OK. Pick a random card out of the remaining 51 cards: OK. . . . Pick a random card out of the remaining 2 cards: OK. Pick a random card out of the remaining 1 card: ERROR, then sing 'God save the Queen' loud? Ridiculous.

1:34 AM Ticket #2673 (AdlibRegister(0) execute function instanly instead of after 250ms) updated by anonymous
Replying to Melba23: > It has been shown that running another Adlib function before the previous one has ended leads to all sorts of problems - I can also foresee disaster if you have virtually instantaneous calls. Please correct me if I am wrong, I think AutoIT never allow 2 Adlib 'terminate' another, like event, the later registered Adlib/event need to wait for the previous function ends. And the problem often is, when two event/Adlib is called when the previous one has not finished yet, then the script queue the event/Adlib and call it right after the previous ends instead of execute the main script. In case of event, since you only make an event by interacting with the GUI, you can only create a limited number of events. But with Adlib, the disaster is that Adlib function may be called with an infinite times and the will never return to the main script. You will have an infinite loop then. I often do a trick, unregister the adlib right after you enter the function. This make the adlib be called exactly once. > > There has to be some delay between calls - if a single millisecond is too long then I question whether you should be using AutoIt at all for the task. > A simple case that the user double click the button instead of single click. This action often occurs. I think AutoIT rely on the mouse up to fire event and do not check if it's double click to filter later mouse up message, so the event will fire twice. And, together with a not expected side effects of the AutoIT 'virtual multithread' (temporarily terminate a function and execute another, then return to previous function), the event function is called twice continously, instead of drop the later event. Think the case your user click the button process a 500-1000 lines documents in 5s. During that time, your user mis-click the button 3 more times , and, without a notes, your application repeat the process action 4 times. Ouch! And I have meet application, which user click the close button when another event is processing. The application does not respond to the click event, but suddenly quit right after the long time running event ends. A workaround, as suggest somewhere in our forum, is having a global variable to check 'busy' state. The check operation is placed in begins of the Adlib function. This may lead to a situation that another code can modify this variable before 1ms delay, and create other problems. So by allow 0ms delay, we have the benefit of the CriticalSection immediatly, make script more reliable. Finally, I think use Adlib may lead to the disaster, why not make it also lead to the candy? Banning 0ms timeout prevents the user to create a infinite Adlib loop directly, but an user can easily create it indirectly by give a long time running Adlib function, or using Sleep, which make Adlib's excute time longer than the interval. I think it's not a technical problem when change this behavior, so this change may be easy. And, this change does not break the AutoIT design pattern and workflow.

6:45 PM Ticket #2670 (TCP connection lost on blocking functions.) updated by FireFox
I made a tcp server in c++ and I discovered if the TCPRecv function returns an error it does NOT mean the connection is lost (the client is in autoit). But why? The connection is still there so there is no reason for the function to return an error, otherwise it should return an error when nothing is received. It would be nice to a dev to clarify me what is happening and how to check if the connection is still alive in case an error is returned (what is the best way at least), so I can update the help file for the tcp functions. Also, I would like to point out that in the attachments I provided the tcprecv function returns an error code of -1 and the call to WSAGetError returns 0.

Rejected
9:16 AM Ticket #2666 (StringReplace($sString, $pos, "") doesn't work) updated by anonymous
If your replacement string would contain one character, it would replace position 3. StringReplace("abcdef", 3, "X") returns "abXdef" If your replacement string would contain two caracters, it would replace position 3 and 4. StringReplace("abcdef", 3, "XY") returns "abXYef" "It works like correction fluid for the length of the replacement string" It will start replacing character for character form the starting position. Therefore, if your replacement string has no characters, it will not replace anything. You cannot replace one character with more/less than one character if a starting position is used. Hopefully this explains enough.

9:13 PM Ticket #2666 (StringReplace($sString, $pos, "") doesn't work) updated by mikell
Following anonymous' logic, the important concept in "character position to start the replacement" is the word "position" Thus StringReplace($sString, 3, ...) doesn't mean "replace 3rd character", it means "start replacing from 3rd character position" This looks a lot like some regex patterns allowing to match a position between 2 characters rather than a "real" string or character
7:01 PM Ticket #2666 (StringReplace($sString, $pos, "") doesn't work) updated by AndyG
From the Helpfile: "The substring to search for or the character position to start the replacement." StringReplace($sString, 3, "#") ;works, the character at the 3rd position is replaced by "#" StringReplace($sString, 3, "") ;doesn´t work, because the character at the 3rd position is not replaced by "nothing" anonymous wrote: "The function will start replacing from the start position" ;right, 3rd position is to be replaced "(with the amount of characters of the replacement string)" ;right, amount is zero(-string) which replaces the string at this position "If the replacement string is empty, it will replace zero characters." ;I think this is wrong. If the replacement string is empty, it has to be replaced with "nothing" (same as StringReplace((String,"d","") "d" is replaced with "nothing")

1:03 PM Ticket #2666 (StringReplace($sString, $pos, "") doesn't work) updated by mikell
I understand this logic The confusion is that the way StringReplace operates is quite different in both cases (searchstring/start) About @extended : if the start (character position) method is used then maybe storing in @extended the number of performed replacements makes no sense, as this number is equal to StringLen("replacestring") Thus it's probably the reason why the @extended value is not set and always equal to 0 regardless of the number of characters replaced If so, this should be a little better explained in the help file

3:07 PM Ticket #2666 (StringReplace($sString, $pos, "") doesn't work) updated by anonymous

Now the fog is clearing. Thanks for that explanation. The documentation for StringRegExp[Replace] needs to be modified then to make it clear that they aren't technically back references but are replacement patterns that just happen to look the same as the back references.

10:26 PM Ticket #2663 (StringRegExpReplace backreference not working) updated by jchd18
StringRegExpReplace uses a PCRE pattern for matching and a separate replacement string specification for actual replace. The latter doesn't follow PCRE pattern specifications. AutoIt devs decided to allow for \1 and $1 but they could have adopted a completely different syntax. All PCRE back-reference syntaxes are accepted in the PCRE pattern part. Only \i and $i with i a positive integer are accepted in the replacement specification string (which is not processed by any PCRE function).

4:29 PM Ticket #2629 (GUIRegisterMsg/GUIUnregisterMsg) updated by Melba23
chesstiger, I agree that it can be done by subclassing in the UDF, but I also agree that subclassing is not simple and so would deter many from writing UDFs which required it. So I believe that it would be advantageous to have this facility in core code. It is also easy enough to arrange by using a UDF wrapper around separate GUIRegisterMsg calls, but then everyone would have to agree to use this UDF wrapper rather than the native function - and this idea has not found favour with the developers when I have suggested it in the past.

Either we add error-checking code to each and every UDF function - or we rely on the coder to check parameters before calling those which do not have a specific error return. I would class parameter limit checking as standard coding practice and not something that should be remarked upon for every function. M23

> If you crash when you app exits then you are probably not doing it right. I don't crash. > > You should ask for help in the forum. Normally, SetWindowLong/SetWindowLongPtr is safe. But it's not safe if you use it to subclass your window (pass nIndex= -4, so you replace window procedure function with your own function). Subclassing is dangerous. In many case, you will not see every thing suggest that your app crash, but an exit code not equals to 1 in output window. Also, manually subclassing is rarely discussed in the forum.

Thanks for your comments. You have right UDF should not need do this. but... It would be good to do a note in HelpFile about it. Because how you say: "So in this case I believe it must be incumbent on the coder to do the necessary parameter checking before calling the function" But he (coder) want to know about this incumbent.
8:13 PM Ticket #2664 (_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText - proposal) updated by Melba23
As an item/subitem could quite easily contain an empty string, I do not think that this is a reasonable proposal - how would you distinguish between a valid empty return and one returned by a non-existent item/subitem? Also looking at the function in detail I cannot see an easy way to determine whether a returned item/subitem value is from a valid element. So in this case I believe it must be incumbent on the coder to do the necessary parameter checking before calling the function - the UDF should not need to do this for itself. M23
5:31 PM Ticket #2663 (StringRegExpReplace backreference not working) updated by BrewManNH
If they're not back references then why are they in the backreference section of the help file, and the link in the help file marked "complete description of PCRE patterns"? If they can't be used in StringRegExpReplace, it should be documented, and if they don't work at all, they should be fixed.
9:04 AM Ticket #2664 (_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText - proposal) updated by mlipok
I'm sorry too stingy description. In one of the scripts I had a situation in which I used the index non-existent, which caused some complications. I noticed that this function does not return any errors in the @error and @extended so I thought that the documentation could use at least a relevant mention of. Please give favorable consideration to my proposal.

5:31 AM Ticket #2663 (StringRegExpReplace backreference not working) updated by jchd18
There is no bug here, at most a feature request. \1 and up or $1 are not PCRE backreferences. They are a way to specify replacement of captured strings in the replacement pseudo-pattern: this is not something performed by PCRE itself, but by the wrapper around it (PCRE API doesn't have a replace function). All forms of PCRE back-reference work inside the pattern, also references to subroutines, recursion and all bells and whistles.

@chesstiger: Use SetWindowLong / SetWindowLongPtr API manually will cause processing window procedure slow although you do nothing in WndProc function (return DefWindowProc only). This will be seen clearly with painting message, your window will be tearing when drag/drop.

That is only syntactic sugar for _ArrayAdd($arr, 3), is that really necessary?
6:58 PM Ticket #2629 (GUIRegisterMsg/GUIUnregisterMsg) updated by chesstiger (autoit.de)
You can use the API function SetWindowLong or SetWindowLongPtr to replace the WndProc of a window (implemented in WinAPI.au3 as _WinAPI_SetWindowLong). In your own WndProc you can grab and process any message, and, if required, call the original WndProc for calling windows internal features and such things like GUIRegisterMsg.

This feature requires an internal replacement for _ArrayAdd. But PHP shows... It's possible. I like the idea.

The question which therefore is simply a string? String is expression? [hr] So the problem is not in the way this feature works, but the description in the documentation is incomplete or is not right. According to me, a section called "Return Value" is missing here. some proposal: Return Value: Return from Expression1 or Expression2, relative to Return from first conditional Expression ps. probably someone describe it better than me ;)
6:02 PM Ticket #2589 (Exit has to be put in function in order to use it in short if.) updated by anonymous
The documentation clearly indicates that the "arguments" must be expressions. Exit is a statement. An assignment is a statement. A comparison is an expression. So, a=b will be a comparison and not an assignment.

Text files containing more than 16777216 lines are fairly uncommon. Accumulating log data in large log files is easy by appending, but routine processing of such large data is best done using a database. Thus FileReadToArray seems to fit the bill decently. OTOH binary files > 16 Mb are plenty and the need to address every byte individually in one load is questionnable. From Language Reference - Arrays: You can use up to 64 dimensions in an Array. The total number of entries cannot be greater than 224 (16 777 216).

This is a very limited syntactic sugar. You can already do that in a few lines of code and without size limit. Remember that AutoIt arrays are limited to 16*1024*1024 = 16777216 cells, so you could only read that many bytes of a file using your suggestion.
9:25 AM Ticket #2656 (array automatic redim for $array[] = ...) updated by jchd18
Your suggestion of this syntactic sugar is greatly inferior to what ReDim currently allows. Hence ReDim would still be needed for N-dimensional arrays. Moretheless it would possibly collide with another future feature using part of this syntax.
