Active Directory UDF - General

2015-08-10T07:47:03Z

Rt01: MSDN link

The Active Directory UDF offers functions to control and manipulate Microsoft Active Directory. This page describes the Active Directory UDF in general.
== Concept ==
The Active Directory UDF is based upon this concept:

* Open a connection to the AD, do all the work then close the connection
* Access one domain at a time. Cross domain scripts are not possible with this UDF
* Access the Global Catalog to search the complete forest
* Access to the Active Directory can be made secure using SSL for both the domain and the Global Catalog

More information can be found on [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa746492(v=vs.85).aspx MSDN].

== Prerequisites ==
You have to run version 3.3.6.0 of AutoIt or newer.
== Structure ==
Every script calls at least the following functions:
_AD_Open() ; Open a connection to the Active Directory
_AD_* ; Any function that queries or alters the Active Directory
_AD_Close() ; Close the connection
== Open a connection ==
There are multiple ways to open a connection to the Active Directory. Only one connection can be open at any time. This means you can't connect to two domains at the same time. You have to connect to the first domain, do all the work, close the connection and open the connection to the second domain. This is true for the Global Catalog as well.
=== To current domain ===
No additional information is needed if you want to connect to the domain the computer is already connected to. _AD_Open uses the credentials of the currently logged in user to connect to the domain.
If the currently logged in user doesn't have the required privileges you can specify the credentials of a different user.

Example: 
Open an AD connection to the domain the computer has logged in and use the windows logon credentials:
$iResult = _AD_Open()
Example: 
Open an AD connection to the domain the computer has logged in and specify the credentials to use. The UserID has to be in one of the following formats (assume the samAccountName = DJ and the domain name = microsoft):
Windows Login Name e.g. "DJ"
NetBIOS Login Name e.g. "microsoft\DJ"
User Principal Name e.g. "DJ@microsoft.com"
The following examples are equivalent:
$iResult = _AD_Open("DJ", "password of DJ")
$iResult = _AD_Open("microsoft\DJ", "password of DJ")
$iResult = _AD_Open("DJ@microsoft.com", "password of DJ")

If you want to connect to a specific Domain Controller in the domain then simply specify the HostServer.

Example: 
$iResult = _AD_Open("DJ", "password of DJ", "", "DC1.domain.com") ; setting alternate credentials
$iResult = _AD_Open("", "", "", "DC1.domain.com") ; using the windows login credentials

=== To another domain ===
Much more information is needed if you want to connect to a different domain than the computer is already connected to. You have to specify DNSDomain, HostServer and Configuration. If you don't specify alternate credentials then the credentials of the currently logged in windows user are used.

Examples of the needed parameters:
$sDNSDomainParam = Active Directory domain name e.g. "DC=subdomain,DC=example,DC=com"
$sHostServerParam = Name of Domain Controller e.g. "servername.subdomain.example.com" or "subdomain.example.com" (access the domain root)
$sConfigurationParam = Configuration naming context e.g. "CN=Configuration,DC=subdomain,DC=example,DC=com"
Example: 
Open an AD connection to another domain and use the windows logon credentials:
$iResult = _AD_Open("", "", "DC=subdomain,DC=example,DC=com", "servername.subdomain.example.com", "CN=Configuration,DC=subdomain,DC=example,DC=com")

Example: 
Open an AD connection to another domain and specify alternate credentials:
$iResult = _AD_Open("DJ", "password of DJ", "DC=subdomain,DC=example,DC=com", "servername.subdomain.example.com", "CN=Configuration,DC=subdomain,DC=example,DC=com")
More information on how to specify credentials can be found [[Active_Directory_UDF_-_General#To_current_domain|here]].

=== From a workgroup ===
If your computer is not connected to any domain you have to provide the same information as if connecting to another domain. How to connect to another domain is described [[Active_Directory_UDF_-_General#To_another_domain|here]].

=== To a Global Catalog ===
If you want to connect to a Global Catalog - so the search functions work on the whole forest and not just on a single domain - you have to append port number 3268 to the HostServer parameter.

Example:
$iResult = _AD_Open("", "", "", "DC1.company.com:3268")
All functions now access the Global Catalog. Every search function now returns results for the whole forest not just the domain. 
In a forest there can be multiple Global Catalogs. To get a list of Global Catalogs connect to the domain and use _AD_ListDomainControllers.
$iResult = _AD_Open()
$aDCs = _AD_ListDomainControllers()
For $iIndex = 1 to $aDCs[0][0]
If $aDCs[$iIndex][6] = True Then ConsoleWrite("DC " & $aDCs[$iIndex][0] & " is a Global Catalog")
Next
_AD_Close()

=== Secure connection ===
==== To a Domain Controller ====
If you want to use SSL and/or password encryption when you connect to a Domain Controller you have to set parameter 6 of _AD_Open. 
Valid entries are:
1 = Sets the connection property "Encrypt Password" to True to encrypt userid and password
2 = The channel is encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). AD requires that the Certificate Server be installed to support SSL
3 = Combination of 1 and 2
Example:
$iResult = _AD_Open("", "", "", "", "", 2) ; Uses SSL to connect to a Domain Controller of the current domain

==== To a Global Catalog ====
If you want to use SSL for your connection to the Global Catalog use port 3269 instead of 3268.

=== Error handling ===
_AD_Open sets the return value to 0 and @error plus @extended to denote what kind of error occurred. 
On Windows Vista and later - if you specified the UserID as NetBIOS Login Name or User Principal Name - you can get additional information about the error.
_AD_GetlastADSIError will return an array of additional information:
$iResult = _AD_Open()
If @error <> 0 Then
$aError = _AD_GetlastADSIError()
_ArrayDisplay($aError, "Error occurred when running _AD_Open")
Exit
EndIf
This could look like:
[0] 5
[1] 2148074248 - ADSI error code (decimal)
[2] 80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C0903A9, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v1db0 - Unicode string that describes the error
[3] LDAP Provider - name of the provider that raised the error
[4] 52e - Win32 error code extracted from element[2]
[5] Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password - description of the Win32 error code as returned by _WinAPI_FormatMessage

Some of the Win32 error codes you can see:
525 = user not found
52e = invalid credentials
530 = not permitted to logon at this time
532 = password expired
533 = account disabled
701 = account expired
773 = user must reset password

== Debugging ==
=== _AD_ErrorNotify ===
To get detailed error information about COM errors add function _AD_ErrorNotify. This function traps all COM errors and logs them. The following values can be used as first parameter:
1 = Uses ConsoleWrite to display the COM error message. Therefore doesn't work for compiled scripts
2 = Uses MsgBox to display the COM error message
3 = Uses FileWrite to write (append) the COM error message to a defined file
4 = Enable Debugging. The COM errors will be handled (the script no longer crashes) but without any output
The second parameter sets the output file. Default = @ScriptDir & "\AD_Debug.txt".

The following example parses the commandline and sets debugging to "MsgBox" when command line parameter one is set to "/debug" or "-debug".
If $CmdLine[0] And ($CmdLine[1] = "/debug" Or $CmdLine[1] = "-debug") Then _AD_ErrorNotify(2)

=== _AD_Open ===
When _AD_Open returns @error = 4 and @extended = -2147023541 (decimal) = 0x8007054b (hex) which translates to "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." then most of the time the reason is that you try to connect using a local account. To solve the issue logon with a domain account or provide the needed parameters to _AD_Open.

== Running queries ==
There are many functions in the UDF that allow to query the Active Directory. The most important functions are:
* [[Active_Directory_UDF_-_GetObjectsInOU|_AD_GetObjectsInOU]]: This function uses LDAP to query objects (users, computers ...) in the whole domain or a subtree
== Tips & Tricks ==
* The UDF does not support the "granular password policy" feature implemented with Windows Server 2008. Invalid results for all password related functions might be returned
* Keyword "Default": You can't use the keyword "Default" to omit parameters in a function call as the UDF does not support this keyword
* If you run Windows Vista or higher, UAC is enabled and you use functions that change the AD then you might need to insert #RequireAdmin into your script
* The SamAccountName of a computer is the computername with a trailing "$" e.g. @ComputerName & "$"
* Special characters: If you call a function with a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) as parameter you as a user have to make sure that all special characters ("\/#,+<>;=) are escaped with a preceding backslash. You can call function _AD_FixSpecialChars(String, 1) to escape or _AD_FixSpecialChars(string, 0) to unescape the special characters

Tutorial GUIRegisterMsg

2015-07-11T11:06:01Z

Rt01: $iParam seems to be a typo. It uses $lParam for the rest of the tutorial.

Here is a short tutorial on ''GUIRegisterMsg'' - one of the more mysterious functions within AutoIt for newcomers. Purists might quibble over details here, but it is good enough for hobbyists like me!

Windows works by sending messages to everything on the system, so that everything knows what is going on. By messages, I mean things like the ''$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE'' we look for when we exit a GUI - but the possible range is much, much wider; change of focus, change of state, mouseclicks, mousemoves, key presses, etc, etc, etc.

''GUIRegisterMsg'' allows us to intercept certain of these messages as they are sent by the GUIs we have created, so we can see who sent what. So when you see a ''GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "MY_WM_COMMAND")'' line in a script, this translates as "''Whenever a WM_COMMAND message is sent by my GUI, please intercept it and pass it through the MY_WM_COMMAND function in this script''". The actual message title is denoted by the constant ''$WM_COMMAND'' which is stored in ''WindowsConstant.au3'' include file. Of course, you can use other message types as well (such as ''$WM_NOTIFY'') - and call your function whatever you wish!

The function that you use ''GUIRegisterMsg'' to call '''MUST''' have these 4 parameters - ''$hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam'' - because that is what Windows uses itself to pass the messages around. In the majority of cases, these parameters relate to the following:

*''$hWnd'' - the GUI which sent the message
*''$iMsg'' - the code for the message sent
*''$wParam, $lParam'' - details of what exactly the message is about. This varies according to the message and details can be found in MSDN but often these parameters will hold the identity of control that has been used and the exact version of the message that has been sent.

Let us look at some examples:
-----------------------------------
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "MY_WM_COMMAND")
;
Func MY_WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
;
Local $iIDFrom = BitAND($wParam, 0xFFFF) ; LoWord - this gives the control which sent the message
Local $iCode = BitShift($wParam, 16) ; HiWord - this gives the message that was sent
If $iCode = $EN_CHANGE Then ; If we have the correct message
Switch $iIDFrom ; See if it comes from one of the inputs
Case $hInput1
; Do something
Case $hInput2
; Do something else
EndSwitch
EndIf
;
EndFunc ;==>MY_WM_COMMAND
</syntaxhighlight>
-----------------------------------
Here we are looking to see if the contents of two Input controls have been altered. We first intercept the ''$WM_COMMAND'' messages from our GUI using ''GUIRegisterMsg''. We can ignore the GUI and the main message in this case - ''$WM_COMMAND'' is a huge set and as we are interested in the control we need not worry about the GUI - if we correctly identify the control, it can only come from our GUI! But in other cases, this is vital information, as you can imagine.

To see if an Input has been altered, we need to look for the ''$EN_CHANGE'' submessage and as you can see we need to investigate the contents of ''$wParam'' to determine this - and then determine the identity of the Input control which is also obtained from'' $wParam'' (MSDN is the bible here). The ''Bit*'' operators allow us to extract these values:
-----------------------------------
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Local $iIDFrom = BitAND($wParam, 0xFFFF) ; LoWord - this gives the ControlID of the control which sent the message
Local $iCode = BitShift($wParam, 16) ; HiWord - this gives the submessage that was sent
</syntaxhighlight>
-----------------------------------
We now know which control sent the message and what the sub-message was - so we check if it matches what we are looking for and if it does then we do whatever we need to do:

Another example:
-----------------------------------
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "MY_WM_NOTIFY")
;
Func MY_WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
;
Local $tNMHDR = DllStructCreate("int;int;int", $lParam)
If @error Then Return
If DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, 1) = $hLV_Handle Then ; Is it our ListView
If DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, 3) = $NM_DBLCLK Then $fDblClk = True ; Was it a double click
EndIf
$tNMHDR = 0 ; This not strictly necessary but does not hurt!
;
Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG ; This tells AutoIt to process the message itself
;
EndFunc ;==>MY_WM_NOTIFY
</syntaxhighlight>
-----------------------------------
This time we are trapping the ''$WM_NOTIFY'' message which lets us know about events like mouse clicks. In particular we are looking for a double click on a ListView within our GUI. As above we use ''GUIRegisterMsg'' to intercept the message. Again we can ignore the GUI and main message and just look for the control and submessage. In this case we need to do a bit more work on the ''$lParam'' parameter which is actually a ''Struct''. However, AutoIt again makes it easy to obtain the handle of the control and the actual submessage - if these are the correct ones, we set a flag to ''True''. Why, well keep reading and you will find out!

When we have finished dealing with the message we have intercepted, it gets passed along the chain of all the other message handlers so all the other applications in the system can see if they are interested too. But in some cases you might actually want to stop the message going further - I wrote a UDF to prevent the system adding the dotted lines around the control when it has focus and passing the message on was exactly what I was trying to prevent! So in the UDF I added a ''Return'' line to the function to stop it dead - just as here. Returning the ''$GUI_RUNDEFMSG'' constant tells AutoIt to run its own internal message handler.

Now, what about the use of a flag in the second example? Well, if you read the Help file for ''GUIRegisterMsg'' you will see the following:

"''Warning: blocking of running user functions which execute Windows messages with commands such as "Msgbox()" can lead to unexpected behavior, the return to the system should be as fast as possible !!!''"

Basically, if you spend too long in your message handling function, the rest of the system gets behind and becomes unstable. So you should get out of it as quickly as you can - and certainly never create anything that waits for user input.

There are 2 ways we can still run something long and complicated but still leave the handler quickly: either set a flag or action a dummy control. If we set a flag inside the handler, we can then look for it within our idle loop and run our blocking code from here without affecting the handler at all. If we action a dummy control then we do not even have to look for the flag! Here is an example of both methods to show you how to apply them.
-----------------------------------
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

; Whichever method we use, we need to declare the dummy control or the flag as a Global variable
Global $hLeftClick, $fRightClick = False

GUICreate("Click me!")

; Create a dummy control for the handler to action
$hLeftClick = GUICtrlCreateDummy()

GUISetState()

; Register our messages
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_LBUTTONUP, "_WM_LBUTTONUP")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_RBUTTONUP, "_WM_RBUTTONUP")

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
Case $hLeftClick
; Our dummy control was actioned so run the required code
MsgBox(0, "Click", "LEFT CLICK!")
EndSwitch

; Look for the flag
If $fRightClick = True Then
; Run the code
MsgBox(0, "Click", "RIGHT CLICK!")
; Do not forget to reset the flag!
$fRightClick = False
EndIf

WEnd

Func _WM_LBUTTONUP($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
; Action the dummy control
GUICtrlSendToDummy($hLeftClick)
EndFunc

Func _WM_RBUTTONUP($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
; Set the flag
$fRightClick = True
EndFunc
</syntaxhighlight>
-----------------------------------
I hope this short tutorial has made ''GUIRegisterMsg'' a little less complicated. Now I suggest you go and look at the many examples on the forum to see how they work and how each differs slightly depending on exactly the author is trying to do.

Excel Range

2015-05-26T19:06:13Z

Rt01: /* Used Range */

On this page you will find some special ranges and how to define them in AutoIt. 
As input file I will use the following Excel workbook. All cells which have a value now or had a value before (means: all cells which had been touched by the user or a script) are displayed in grey. 
[[File:Range.jpg]] 
All examples show cells of the selected range in yellow.

== Current Region ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange = $oWorkBook.Activesheet.Range("B4").CurrentRegion</syntaxhighlight>
The current region is a range bounded by any combination of blank rows and blank columns. 
[[File:Range_CurrentRegion.jpg]] 
Note that cell B6 is not part of the region. The cell has been touched before but now is blank and hence bounds the region.

== Empty Cells ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange = $oWorkbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells($xlCellTypeBlanks)</syntaxhighlight>
Marks all empty cells in the specified range. 
[[File:Range_EmptyCells.jpg]] 

== Entire Row / Entire Column ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange = $oWorkBook.Activesheet.Range("B2").EntireRow</syntaxhighlight>
Selects the entire row(s) of the specified range. 
[[File:Range_EntireRow.jpg]] 
Use method "EntireColumn" to select the columns for the specified range.

== Last Cell ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange = $oWorkbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells($xlCellTypeLastCell)</syntaxhighlight>
Returns the last used cell (bottom right) in the specified range. 
[[File:Range_LastCell.jpg]]

=Introduction=

AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying "runtimes" required! AutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to reliably automate and configure thousands of PCs. Over time it has become a powerful language that supports complex expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.

Features:

* Easy to learn BASIC-like syntax
* Simulate keystrokes and mouse movements
* Manipulate windows and processes
* Interact with all standard windows controls
* Scripts can be compiled into standalone executables
* Create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
* COM support
* Regular expressions
* Directly call external DLL and Windows API functions
* Scriptable RunAs functions
* Detailed helpfile and large community-based support forums
* Compatible with Windows XP / Server 2003 / Vista / Server 2008 / Windows 7 / Windows 8
* Unicode and x64 support
* Digitally signed for peace of mind
* Works with the User Account Control (UAC) found in Windows beginning with Vista

AutoIt has been designed to be as small as possible and stand-alone with no external .dll files or registry entries required making it safe to use on Servers. Scripts can be compiled into stand-alone executables with '''Aut2Exe'''.

Also supplied is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called AutoItX that allows you to add the unique features of AutoIt to your own favourite scripting or programming languages!

Best of all, AutoIt continues to be '''FREE''' - but if you want to support the time, money and effort spent on the project and web hosting then you may donate at the AutoIt [http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ homepage].

=Features in Detail=

'''Basic-like Syntax and Rich Function Set'''

AutoIt has a BASIC-like syntax which means that most people who have ever written a script or used a high-level language should be able to pick it up easily.

Although it started life as a simple automation tool, AutoIt now has functions and features that allow it to be used as a general purpose scripting language. Language features include:

* The usual high-level elements for functions, loops and expression parsing
* A staggering amount of string handling functions '''and''' a Perl compatible regular expression engine (using the [http://www.pcre.org/ PCRE] library).
* COM support
* Call Win32 and third-party DLL APIs

'''Built-in Editor with Syntax Highlighting'''

AutoIt comes with a customised "lite" version of SciTE that makes editing scripts easy. Users can also [http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/ download a complete version of SciTE] that includes additional tools to make things even easier.

'''Standalone and Small'''

AutoIt is a very small and standalone application with no reliance on massive runtimes like .NET or VB. All you need to run AutoIt scripts are the main AutoIt executable (AutoIt3.exe) and the script. Scripts can also be encoded into standalone executables with the built-in script compiler '''Aut2Exe'''.

'''International and 64-bit Support'''

AutoIt is fully Unicode aware and also includes x64 versions of all the main components! How many other free scripting languages can you say that about?

'''Key and Mouse Simulation'''

Much time has been spent optimizing the keystroke and mouse simulation functions to be as accurate as possible on all versions of Windows. All the mouse and keyboard routines are highly configurable both in terms of simulation "speed" and functionality.

'''Window Management'''

You can expect to move, hide, show, resize, activate, close and pretty much do what you want with windows. Windows can be referenced by title, text on the window, size, position, class and even internal Win32 API handles.

'''Controls'''

Directly get information on and interact with edit boxes, check boxes, list boxes, combos, buttons, status bars without the risk of keystrokes getting lost. Even work with controls in windows that are not active!

'''Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)'''

AutoIt v3 will also allow you to create some complex GUIs - just like those below!

And much, much more...

Excel UDF

2015-05-03T10:16:30Z

Rt01:

{{WIP}}
The Excel UDF offers functions to control and manipulate Microsoft Excel workbooks. 
This page describes the Excel UDF that comes with AutoIt 3.3.12.0 or later.

== Features ==
New versions of Microsoft Office have been released since the last changes were made to the Excel UDF. The new extensions (e.g. xlsx) were not (fully) supported, new functions were missing etc. The current version of the Excel UDF lifts this limitations.

* Works with as many instances of Excel as you like - not just one
* Works with any Workbook - not just the active one
* Works with any Worksheet - not just the active one
* Only does what you tell it to do - no implicit "actions"
* Only one function to read from a cell or a range
* Only one function to write a string, a 1D or 2D array to a cell or a range
* Support for every file format Excel supports
* Speed enhancements when transferring data from/to an Excel sheet (20 - 100 times faster)

== Concepts ==
=== Range ===
A Range is a rectangular block made of one or more cells that Excel treats as a unit. The functions of the UDF mainly work with ranges. A range - unlike a selection - is not visible on the screen. 
Examples how to define special ranges can be found [[Excel_Range|here]].

=== Cell reference ===
The UDF only supports the A1 form (example: "B7") to reference cells. The R1C1 form (example "R7C2") is not supported. But the UDF provides functions to translate a cell reference between this two forms. 
You can reference cells by name as well.
==== Examples ====
* Single cell: "B7"
* Multiple cells: "A1:B7"
* Row(s): "2" or "3:5"
* Column(s): "B" or "D:F"
* Name: "TestRange"

== Features not covered by the UDF ==
The UDF only covers basic user needs. Single line functions (like switching to another sheet) or functions with too many parameters (like formatting a cell or range) are not covered by this UDF. You need to use the Excel COM yourself. 
I will give a few examples here. The rest can be found on [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff846392.aspx MSDN].

=== Format a range ===
==== Alignment ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Horizontal alignment
; Enumeration for Excel 2010: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff840772%28v=office.14%29.aspx
$oRange.HorizontalAlignment = $XlHAlign ; Can be xlCenter, xlDistributed, xlJustify, xlLeft or xlRight of the XlHAlign enumeration.

; Vertical alignment
; Enumeration for Excel 2010: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff835305%28v=office.14%29.aspx
$oRange.VerticalAlignment = $XlVAlign ; Can be xlBottom, xlCenter, xlDistributed, xlJustify or xlTop of the XlVAlign enumeration.
</syntaxhighlight>

==== Background ====
See
==== Border ====
...
==== Color ====
...
==== Font ====
===== Bold etc. =====
True if the font is bold. Read/write.
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange.Font.Bold = True</syntaxhighlight>
This works similar for ''Italic'', ''Strikethrough'', ''Subscript'', ''Superscript'' and ''Underline''.

===== Color, ColorIndex =====
Color: Returns or sets the primary color of the object. Use the RGB function to create a color value. 
ColorIndex: Returns or sets a variant value that represents the color of the font.
The color is specified as an index value into the current color palette.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Object !! Color
|-
| Border || The color of the border.
|-
| Borders || The color of all four borders of a range. If they're not all the same color, Color returns 0 (zero).
|-
| Font || The color of the font.
|-
| Interior || The cell shading color or the drawing object fill color.
|-
| Tab || The color of the tab.
|}

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange.Font.Color = 5 ; Set the color of the font
$oRange.Borders.ColorIndex = 5 ; Set the color of all four borders
</syntaxhighlight>

===== Name =====
Returns or sets a variant value that represents the name of the font.
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange.Font.Name = "Arial"</syntaxhighlight>

===== Size =====
Returns or sets the size of the font specified in units of points.
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange.Font.Size = 12</syntaxhighlight>

===== Underline =====
Returns or sets the type of underline applied to the font. Can be one of the XlUnderlineStyle constants xlUnderlineStyleNone, xlUnderlineStyleSingle, xlUnderlineStyleDouble,
xlUnderlineStyleSingleAccounting or xlUnderlineStyleDoubleAccounting. Read/write.
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange.Font.Underline = $xlUnderlineStyleSingle</syntaxhighlight>

==== Height/Width ====
...
==== Number Format ====
Returns or sets a variant value that represents the format code for the object. 
This property returns Null if all cells in the specified range don't have the same number format. 
The format code is the same string as the Format Codes option in the Format Cells dialog box. The Format function uses different format code strings than do the NumberFormat and NumberFormatLocal properties. 
A number format consists of up to 4 items, separated by semicolons. Each of the items is an individual number format. The first by default applies to positive numbers, the second to negative numbers, the third to zeros, and the fourth to text. 
A very good description of format codes can be found [http://peltiertech.com/Excel/NumberFormats.html here].
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Format code !! Description
|-
| @ || Format as string
|-
| General || Default format
|-
| 0000 || Format number with 4 digits, add leading zeroes where needed
|-
| [Blue]$#,##0;[Red]$#,##0;$#,##0 || Format positive numbers in blue, negative in red and 0 in default color (black). The numbers are prefixed with the dollar sign and a thousands separator is inserted. The numbers are displayed as integers. 
Available colors are [Black], [Blue], [Cyan], [Green], [Magenta], [Red], [White], and [Yellow].
|-
| [Blue][>=3000]$#,##0;[Red][<0]$#,##0;$#,##0 || Format values >= 3000 in blue, values < 0 in read and all other numbers in default color (black).
|-
| 0" feet" || append a label to the number
|-
|}
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange.NumberFormat = "General"</syntaxhighlight>

== Script breaking changes after AutoIt version 3.3.10.2. ==
New versions of Microsoft Office have been released since the last changes were made to the Excel UDF. New file types and new functions needed to be supported, hence the UDF was complete rewritten.

Some functions/parameters have been removed or renamed, new functions/parameters have been added. A detailed list of changes can be found [http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/script_breaking_changes_excel_udf.htm here].

=== General ===
All function names have been changed from _Excel* to _Excel_*.

@extended no longer contains the number of the invalid parameter. The code returned in @error tells exactly what went wrong.

The following list shows the old/new function/parameter name (a "-" is shown if the function/parameter has been removed) and some example scripts how to mimic the behaviour of the "old" UDF. If there is no entry for a removed function/parameter then there is no need for this functionality.

=== Function -/_Excel_Open ===
It's mandatory now to call function _Excel_Open before any other function. This function didn't exist in the old UDF.
@extended is set if Excel was already running.

=== Function _ExcelFontSetProperties/- ===
There are so many formatting functions in Excel that they can't be covered by a few functions. The function only contained a single line of code. So it was removed.
Use the code examples above to format a range.

=== Function _ExcelHorizontalAlignSet/- ===
There are so many formatting functions in Excel that they can't be covered by a few functions. The function only contained a single line of code. So it was removed.
Use the code examples above to format a range.

=== Function _ExcelSheetActivate/- ===
The function only contained a single line of code. So it was removed.
Replace the function with the following code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
$oWorkbook.Sheets(x).Activate ; x can be the number or name of the sheet to be activated
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Function _ExcelSheetNameGet/- ===
The function only contained a single line of code. So it was removed.
Replace the function with the following code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
$sSheetName = $oSheet.Name
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Function _ExcelSheetNameSet/- ===
The function only contained a single line of code. So it was removed.
Replace the function with the following code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">

Word UDF

2015-05-03T10:01:36Z

Rt01:

The Word UDF offers functions to control and manipulate Microsoft Word documents. 
This page describes the Word UDF that comes with AutoIt 3.3.10.0 or later.

== Features ==
New versions of Microsoft Office have been released since the last changes were made to the Word UDF. The new extensions (e.g. docx) were not (fully) supported, new functions were missing etc. The current version of the Word UDF lifts this limitations.

* Works with as many instances of Word as you like - not just one
* Works with any document - not just the active one
* Only does what you tell it to do - no implicit "actions"
* Works with ranges and lets you move the insert marker
* Supports reading/writing of tables
* Support for every file format Word supports
 
The UDF only covers basic user needs. Single line functions (like getting document properties) or functions with too many parameters (like running a macro) are not covered by this UDF. You need to use the Word COM yourself.

== Concepts ==

=== Range ===
A Range is a block made of one or more characters that Word treats as a unit. The functions of the UDF mainly work with ranges. A range - unlike a selection - is not visible on the screen.

== Script breaking changes after AutoIt version 3.3.8.1 ==
New versions of Microsoft Office have been released since the last changes were made to the Word UDF. New file types and new functions needed to be supported, hence the UDF was complete rewritten.

Some functions/parameters have been removed or renamed, new functions/parameters have been added. A detailed list of changes can be found [http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/script_breaking_changes_word_udf.htm here].

=== General ===
All function names have been changed from _Word* to _Word_*.

@extended no longer contains the number of the invalid parameter. The code returned in @error tells exactly what went wrong.

The following list shows the old/new function/parameter name (a "-" is shown if the function/parameter has been removed) and some example scripts how to mimic the behaviour of the "old" UDF. If there is no entry for a removed function/parameter then there is no need for this functionality.

=== Function _WordCreate/_Word_Create ===
It's mandatory now to call function _Word_Create before any other function. You could have used _WordCreate or _WordAttach in the old Word UDF.
@extended is set if Word was already running.

==== Parameter $s_FilePath/- ====
Optional parameter to specify the file to open upon creation.
Use _Word_DocOpen or _Word_DocAdd now.

=== Function _WordDocPropertyGet/- ===
Retrieves builtin document properties.

Word object model reference on MSDN for Word 2010:
* [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff195105%28v=office.14%29.aspx WdBuiltInProperty Enumeration]
Example code:<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Global $oWord = _Word_Create()
Global $oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($oWord, @ScriptDir & "\test.doc")
Global $wdPropertyAuthor = 3
Global $sAuthor = $oDoc.BuiltInDocumentProperties($wdPropertyAuthor).Value ; Retrieves the Author of the document
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Function _WordDocPropertySet/- ===
Sets builtin document properties.

For links to the Word object model reference on MSDN see function _WordDocPropertyGet.
Example code:<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Global $oWord = _Word_Create()
Global $oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($oWord, @ScriptDir & "\test.doc")
Global $wdPropertyAuthor = 3
$oDoc.BuiltInDocumentProperties($wdPropertyAuthor).Value = "PowerUser" ; Sets the Author of the document
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Function _WordErrorHandlerDeRegister/_DebugCOMError ===
The default COM error handler has been moved to the Debug UDF. See _WordErrorHandlerRegister for details.

=== Function _WordErrorHandlerRegister/_DebugCOMError ===
The default COM error handler has been moved to the Debug UDF. But you can still create a custom COM error handler by using ObjEvent.

Example code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <Debug.au3>
_DebugSetup("Word Debug Window", True, 1, "", True)
_DebugCOMError(1) ; Register a default COM error handler to grab Word COM errors and write the messages to the Debug window
; Do Word processing here
_DebugCOMError(0) ; DeRegister the default COM error handler
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Function _WordErrorNotify/- ===
The Word UDF no longer creates text error messages and writes them to the Console.

You need to check the macros @error and @extended after you called a function. The returned values are documented in the help file.

=== Function _WordMacroRun/- ===
A macro can now be run by a single line.

Example code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Global $oWord = _Word_Create()
Global $oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($oWord, @ScriptDir & "\test.doc")
$oWord.Run("macro_name")
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Function _WordPropertyGet/- ===
Retrieves application and document properties. Many of the properties for the Options object correspond to items in the Options dialog box.

* [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff841712%28v=office.14%29.aspx Word Application properties]
* [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff821122%28v=office.14%29.aspx Word properties for the Options object]
Example code:<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Global $oWord = _Word_Create()
$bVisible = $oWord.Visible ; Returns True when the Word application is visible, else False
$bUpdatePrint = $oWord.Options.UpdateFieldsAtPrint ; True if Microsoft Word updates fields automatically before printing a document
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Function _WordPropertySet/- ===
Sets application and document properties. Many of the properties for the Options object correspond to items in the Options dialog box.

For links to the Word object model reference on MSDN see function _WordPropertyGet.

Example code:<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Global $oWord = _Word_Create()
$bVisible = $oWord.Options.SaveInterval = 5 ; Sets Word to save AutoRecover information for all open documents every five minutes

Excel Range

2015-05-01T09:55:55Z

Rt01: /* Last Cell */

On this page you will find some special ranges and how to define them in AutoIt. 
As input file I will use the following Excel workbook. All cells which have a value now or had a value before (means: all cells which had been touched by the user or a script) are displayed in grey. 
[[File:Range.jpg]] 
All examples show cells of the selected range in yellow.

== Current Region ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange = $oWorkBook.Activesheet.Range("B4").CurrentRegion</syntaxhighlight>
The current region is a range bounded by any combination of blank rows and blank columns. 
[[File:Range_CurrentRegion.jpg]] 
Note that cell B6 is not part of the region. The cell has been touched before but now is blank and hence bounds the region.

== Empty Cells ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange = $oWorkbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells($xlCellTypeBlanks)</syntaxhighlight>
Marks all empty cells in the specified range. 
[[File:Range_EmptyCells.jpg]] 

== Entire Row / Entire Column ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange = $oWorkBook.Activesheet.Range("B2").EntireRow</syntaxhighlight>
Selects the entire row(s) of the specified range. 
[[File:Range_EntireRow.jpg]] 
Use method "EntireColumn" to select the columns for the specified range.

== Last Cell ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange = $oWorkbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells($xlCellTypeLastCell)</syntaxhighlight>
Returns the last used cell (bottom right) in the specified range. 
[[File:Range_LastCell.jpg]] 
 
External Link: [http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/ExcelRanges.htm Excel Ranges: Finding the Last Cell in a Range]

== Used Range ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">$oRange = $oWorkBook.Activesheet.UsedRange</syntaxhighlight>
Selects all cells which have a value now or had a value before (means: all cells which had been touched by the user or a script). 
Note that the range does not contain row 1 and column 1! 
[[File:Range_UsedRange.jpg]] 
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">With $oWorkbook.ActiveSheet
$oRangeLast = .UsedRange.SpecialCells($xlCellTypeLastCell)
$oRange = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells($oRangeLast.Row, $oRangeLast.Column))
EndWith</syntaxhighlight>
This lines extend the used range to start with cell A1.

ADO

2015-04-24T16:19:33Z

Rt01:

Most of the following text was taken from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveX_Data_Objects Wikipedia], [http://www.connectionstrings.com connectionstrings.com]:

Microsoft's '''ActiveX Data Objects''' ( ADO) is a set of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_Object_Model Component Object Model] (COM) objects for accessing data sources. As part of MDAC, it provides a middleware layer between programming languages and OLE DB (a means of accessing data stores, whether they be databases or otherwise, in a uniform manner). ADO allows a software developer to write programs that access data without knowing how the database is implemented; developers must be aware of the database for connection only. No knowledge of SQL is required to access a database when using ADO, although one can use ADO to execute SQL commands directly. The disadvantage of the latter is that it introduces a dependency upon the type of database used.

ADO is positioned as a successor to Microsoft's earlier object layers for accessing data sources, including Remote Data Objects (RDO) and Data Access Objects (DAO). ADO was introduced by Microsoft in October 1996.

'''NOTE''' 
This tutorial only decribes a fraction of what can be done with ADO. 
There are many ways to retrieve, add and change data using ADO. This tutorial only describes:
* How to read data
* How to use the OLEDB provider, ODBC and other providers are not part of this tutorial
* To open the connection a connection string is used. Setting the properties of the connection object to describe the connection is not part of this tutorial
* The command to retrieve data is specified with the Open method for the RecordSet object. The Command object is not part of this tutorial
 

== How does ADO, OLEDB and ODBC fit together? ==
This chart shows the "big picture" so you can see how this all fits together (Picture taken from http://community.qlik.com/thread/106540). 
[[File:db-full-diagram.png|600px|How does ADO, OLEDB and ODBC fit together?]]

== Internals ==
ADO is made up of four collections and twelve objects. For details please see page → [[ADO Internals]].

== Usage ==
Some basic steps are required in order to be able to access and manipulate data using ADO:
#Create a connection object to connect to the database
#Create a recordset object in order to receive data in
#Open the connection
#Populate the recordset
#Do all the desired searching/processing on the fetched data
#Close the recordset
#Close the connection

=== Create a connection object ===
In AutoIt this is simply done by:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Global $oConnection = ObjCreate("ADODB.Connection")
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Create a recordset object ===
In AutoIt this is simply done by:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Global $oRecordSet = ObjCreate("ADODB.Recordset")
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Open the connection ===
[[File:ADO.gif|framed|right|Application-ADO-Provider-Database]]To open the connection you have to build a connection string.
When your application connects to a database or a data file you let ADO utilize a provider to do the job for you. The connection string contains the information that the provider needs to know to be able to establish a connection to the database or the data file.
Because there are different providers and each provider has multiple ways to make a connection there are many different ways to write a connection string. It's like the address when sending a regular mail. Depending on the origin and destination and who is going to make the transport you need to write down the address in different ways.

==== Connection string ====
The connection string is really just a string inside the application you pass on to the connection object. The property is passed through the Open function of the connection object.

For details please see page → [[ADO ConnectionString]].

==== Connection properties ====
To be added.

=== Populate the recordset ===
The ADO Recordset object is used to contain the set of data extracted from a database or file and is composed of records (rows) and fields (columns). 

The Recordset object is the heart of ADO. Via this object, we can select desired data. Equally important is the ability to move around inside the database. However, the functionality of the provider may impose limitations. 

RecordSet.Open(Source, Connection, CursorType, LockType, Options)

The Open method is called on a Recordset object to open a cursor which gives you access to the records contained in the base table, the results from a query (used in the examples of this tutorial), or a previously saved Recordset.

For details please see page → [[ADO RecordSet Populate]].

=== Search/process the fetched data===
ADO provides methods and properties to
* move around in the RecordSet
* search for rows
* write the recordset to a 2D array or a single record to a string
* save the recordset to a file
* sort the records
* delete rows from the RecordSet
and much more. 
For details please see page → [[ADO RecordSet Process]].

=== Close the recordset===
Close the recordset and assign a new value to the object to release it:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
$oRecordSet.Close()
$oRecordSet = 0
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Close the connection===
Close the connection and assign a new value to the object to release it:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
$oConnection.Close()
$oConnection = 0
</syntaxhighlight>

== Examples ==
* IBM DB2
* Microsoft Access
* [[ADO_Example_Excel|Microsoft Excel]]
* Microsoft Project
* Microsoft SQL Server
* MySQL
* Oracle Database Server
* SQLite
* [[ADO_Example_TextFile|Text files]]

== Tools ==
Some (AutoIt) tools to make life easier can be found on page → [[ADO Tools]].

OutlookEX UDF - Mail Item

2015-04-03T11:41:35Z

Rt01:

[[Category:OutlookEX_UDF]]
Here you find detailed information about how to work with Mail items.
== Wrapper function ==
The following function is a "''wrapper''" that combines multiple function calls to mimic functions available in the "''original''" Outlook UDF. 
This should make your scripts a bit shorter and live a bit easier.
=== SendMail ===
The wrapper function ''_OL_Wrapper_SendMail'' allows to send a mail to multiple recipients (''To'', ''Cc'' and ''BCc''), add attachments, set some properties and send the mail in one go. The body can either be normal text or html. This wrapper function mimics the function of ''_OutlookSendMail'' of the original UDF.

Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <OutlookEx.au3>
$oOL = _OL_Open()
_OL_Wrapper_SendMail($oOL, "John Doe", "", "", "Testmail", "Test", "", $olFormatHTML, $olImportanceHigh)
_OL_Close($oOL)
</syntaxhighlight>

This sends a mail to 'John Doe' with Subject 'Testmail', body as HTML and high importance.

== Tips & Tricks ==
=== Send a mail on behalf of another user ===
Set property ''SentOnBehalfOfName'' to the displayname of the intended sender.

Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <OutlookEx.au3>
; Open the connection to Outlook
Global $oOL = _OL_Open()
; Create a mail item and set some properties
Global $oItem = _OL_ItemCreate($oOL, $olMailItem, "*\Outlook-UDF-Test\TargetFolder\Mail", "", _
"Subject=TestMail", "BodyFormat=" & $olFormatHTML, "HTMLBody=Bodytext in Test.", "SentOnBehalfOfName=Doe Jane")
; Add a recipient and resolve it
_OL_ItemRecipientAdd($oOL, $oItem, Default, $olTo, "Doe John")
; Send the mail
_OL_ItemSend($oOL, $oItem)
If @extended = -2147352567 Then _
MsgBox(16, "OutlookEX UDF - Example Script", "You don't have permission to send the mail on behalf of the specified person!")
_OL_Close($oOL)
</syntaxhighlight>

This creates a mail in your folder ''Outlook-UDF-Test\TargetFolder\Mail'', recipient is ''John Doe'', subject is ''Testmail'', body as HTML. ''SentOnBehalfOfName'' is set to the displayname of the sender (''Jane Doe'').
The mail is sent and the extended error code is checked. An error message is being displayed if you do not have the required permissions to send a mail on behalf of another user.

=== Delay the sending of a mail ===
Set property ''DeferredDeliveryTime'' to date and time when the mail is to be delivered.

Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <OutlookEx.au3>
; Open the connection to Outlook
Global $oOL = _OL_Open()
; Create a mail item and set some properties
Global $oItem = _OL_ItemCreate($oOL, $olMailItem, "*\Outlook-UDF-Test\TargetFolder\Mail", "", _
"Subject=TestMail", "BodyFormat=" & $olFormatHTML, "HTMLBody=Bodytext in Test.", _
"DeferredDeliveryTime=2017/03/18 18:01:00")
; Add a recipient and resolve it
_OL_ItemRecipientAdd($oOL, $oItem, Default, $olTo, "Doe John")
; Send the mail
_OL_ItemSend($oOL, $oItem)
_OL_Close($oOL)
</syntaxhighlight>

This creates a mail in your folder ''Outlook-UDF-Test\TargetFolder\Mail'', recipient is ''John Doe'', subject is ''Testmail'', body as HTML. ''DeferredDeliveryTime'' is set to ''2017/03/18 18:01:00''.
The mail is sent by Outlook but transmission is deferred by the Exchange server until the specified date/time has been reached.

=== Send a mail or reply to a mail with a signature ===
Outlook allows to add a signature when a new mail or a reply to a mail is created. The following steps are needed:
* Create a signature to be added to new or reply to mails. This can be done manually by using Outlook or by calling function _OL_MailSignatureCreate
* Set a signature as the one to be used when a new mail or a reply to a mail is created. This can be done manually by using Outlook or by calling function _OL_MailSignatureSet
* Create the new or reply to mail. The signature is created immediately by Outlook before any other text is added to the body

'''Problem:''' 
You can't use functions _OL_ItemCreate and _OL_Wrapper_SendMail to set the body of the mail. Because the functions just set the body property and hence the signature will be overwritten.

'''Solution:''' 
Don't use ''_OL_Wrapper_SendMail''. There is no solution for this function.
 
Create the mail, retrieve the body (which now only consists of the signature), add the mail text and set the body property again.

Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <OutlookEX.au3>
Global $oOutlook = _OL_Open()
;===========
; Plain Text
;===========
$oItem = _OL_ItemCreate($oOutlook, $olMailItem, "", "", "Subject=Subject for BodyFormat=Plain Text")
$oItem.BodyFormat = $olFormatPlain
$oItem.GetInspector
$sBody = $oItem.Body
$oItem.Body = "Text: Mail Text" & $sBody
$oItem.Display

;=====
; HTML
;=====
$oItem = _OL_ItemCreate($oOutlook, $olMailItem, "", "", "Subject=Subject for BodyFormat=HTML")
$oItem.BodyFormat = $olFormatHTML
$oItem.GetInspector
$sBody = $oItem.HTMLBody
$oItem.HTMLBody = "HTML: Mail Text" & $sBody
$oItem.Display

;==========
; Rich Text
;==========
$oItem = _OL_ItemCreate($oOutlook, $olMailItem, "", "", "Subject=Subject for BodyFormat=RTF")
$oItem.BodyFormat = $olFormatRichText
$oItem.GetInspector
$sBody = $oItem.HTMLBody
$oItem.HTMLBody = "RTF: Mail Text" & $sBody
$oItem.Display
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Send a mail to an SMTP address ===
If you have problems sending a mail to an SMTP address, means _OL_ItemRecipientAdd returns an error telling you that a recipient could not be resolved, then you should try to directly set the "To" property.

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <OutlookEx.au3>
; Open the connection to Outlook
Global $oOL = _OL_Open()
; Create a mail item and set some properties
Global $oItem = _OL_ItemCreate($oOL, $olMailItem, "*\Outlook-UDF-Test\TargetFolder\Mail", "", _
"Subject=TestMail", "BodyFormat=" & $olFormatHTML, "HTMLBody=Bodytext in Test.", "To=Jane.Doe@company.com")
; Send the mail
_OL_ItemSend($oOL, $oItem)
If @extended = -2147352567 Then _
MsgBox(16, "OutlookEX UDF - Example Script", "You don't have permission to send the mail on behalf of the specified person!")
_OL_Close($oOL)
</syntaxhighlight>

Best coding practices

2015-03-14T22:03:44Z

Rt01:

Outlined in this section is a detailed explanation of what are to be considered the best coding practices within AutoIt. These recommendations are based on accepted coding practices common to a number of other programming languages. You do not need to follow them, but it is recommended that you do.

'''Note''': You must use AutoIt v3.3.10.0 or above to run the examples below.

__TOC__

== Names of Variables ==
The variable naming convention used in AutoIt is based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation Apps Hungarian notation]. The prefix defines the logical data type rather than the physical data type: in this way, it gives a hint as to what the variable's purpose is, or what it represents. The prefix does not encode the actual data type: this occurs during assignment. See the table below for accepted standards.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! prefix !! covering type !! example
|-
| i || Integer || $iInteger = 10
|-
| f || Floating point || $fFloat = 0.123
|-
| n || General number (no preference) || $nNumber = 0
|-
| a || Arrays || $aArray[0]
|-
| m || Maps || $mMap[]
|-
| s || Strings (chars included) || $sString = "hello world"
|-
| b || Booleans || $bBool = True
|-
| d || Binaries || $dBinary = Binary("0x80000000")
|-
| id || An AutoIt controlID || $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 5, 5)
|-
| h || Handles (and GUI handles) || $hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI")
|-
| fu || Functions || $fuMessage = MsgBox
|-
| p || Pointers || $pRect = DllStructGetPtr($tRECT)
|-
| tag || Structures definition || $tagDATE = "struct; word Year;word Month;word Dow;word Day; endstruct"
|-
| t || Structures || $tSTRUCT = DllStructCreate($tagSTRUCT)
|-
| o || Objects || $oShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")
|-
| v || Variant || $vData = ClipGet()
|-
| e || Enumerations || Enum $e1st = 1, $e2nd, $e3rd
|-
| k || Keywords || $kKeyword = Default
|}

Variables are named following this schema:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! dollar prefix !! type (lower case) !! [optional] subtype (lower case) !! var name (first letter in upper case)
|-
| $ || a || h || Handles
|}

Examples:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Assign a local variable the integer 7.
Local $iWeekDays = 7

; Assign a local variable the value of Pi.
Local $fPi = 3.14159265358979

; Assign a local variable an array of strings.
Local $asArray[7] = ['mon', 'tue', 'wed', 'thu', 'fri', 'sat', 'sun']

; Assign a local variable an array of numbers.
Local $anArray[4] = [0, 0.25, 3 / 4, 12]
</syntaxhighlight>
 

== Variable Initialization ==
When initializing variables there are several points to consider. It is bad practice to hog memory by assigning data which is not immediately required. It is therefore recommended that you declare and initialize variables immediately prior to use. If you wish to assign a default value to a variable which you intend to overwrite later, then the data should be of the same (or the most logical representation of its) type and use as little memory as possible.

Examples:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Inconsistent data types are considered bad.
Local $iInteger = "0"
Local $sString = False

; Correct initialization
Local $iInteger = 0
Local $sString = ''
</syntaxhighlight>
 

In the following table, recommended default values are shown for each data type. Some data types have more than one possibile default value which can be used for initialization.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Default Value !! covering type
|-
| Binary("") || $d
|-
| "" || $s, $v
|-
| 0 || $a, $h, $i, $id, $m, $n, $o, $p, $t, $tag, $v
|-
| 0.0 || $f
|-
| Null || $fu, $o, $s, $v
|-
| False (or True) || $b
|-
| Default || $k
|}

 
Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Declare and initialize a variable with the recommended default value.
Local $vUndefined = Null ; This does not require much memory.

; Some time later:
$vUndefined = 0xB0AD1CEA ; Assign an appropriate value as and when needed.
</syntaxhighlight>
 

To reduce bloat, multiple variables can be declared on a single line. When declaring multiple variables on the same line, it is generally recommended that you stick to declaring one data type on each line. The intention here is to make the code easier to follow, however the best layout will vary according to circumstance.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Not recommended
Local $sString = "", $iInteger = 0, $asArray = ["a","b","c"] ; Mixed data types

; Recommended
Local $iLeft = 10, $iTop = 10 ; integers
Local $idGo = GUICtrlCreateButton("Go", $iLeft, $iTop), $idQuit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Quit", 50, 10) ; controlIDs
</syntaxhighlight>
 

In some languages it is essential to initialize variables on declaration, but this is not the case with AutoIt. Regarding data type, variables declared without being initialized should be considered as being undefined.
 

== Scopes of Variables ==
To make the transition, the variables are also named according to their scope.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Global UDF variable !! Global variable !! Local variable
|-
| $g__iSomeVar || $g_iSomeVar || $iSomeVar
|}
With this method, you will avoid non wanted re-assignments.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Assign a Global variable the number 0.
Global $iSomeVar1 = 0
; Assign a Global variable the number 5.
Global $_iSomeVar2 = 5

SomeFunc()

Func SomeFunc()
; Assign Local variables respectively the numbers 3 and 4.
Local $iSomeVar1 = 3, $iSomeVar2 = 4

; Note: The user inadvertently re-assigned the global variable $iSomeVar1, because this one is not named as "global".

; Display the value of $iSomeVar1.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $iSomeVar1: " & $iSomeVar1)

; Display the value of $iSomeVar2.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $iSomeVar2: " & $iSomeVar2)

; Display the value of $_iSomeVar2.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $_iSomeVar2: " & $_iSomeVar2)
EndFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

* A variable declared globally (with the Global keyword) is visible anywhere in the script. Always declare your global variables in the global scope, not in the functions. It will prevent another function to use it before its declaration and the declaration is implicit (see [[#jumpsec1|examples]]).

* A variable declared locally (with the Local keyword), has a visibility which depends of the scope where it's declared.
:Declaration in the global scope: the variable is nonetheless visible everywhere; declare it as Local if this one is only used in the same scope.
:Declaration in a function: the variable is visible by the function itself and nowhere else.

Structure of a code scope:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Global scope.

; Include the Constants file, it contains various constants; it's needed here for the $MB_SYSTEMMODAL flag of the MsgBox function).
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; This scope is either Global or Local, depending on where do you use the variables.

; Assign a Global variable the number 0 (which corresponds to an initialization of a variable number), its scope is Global because it's used at least in one function.
Global $_iVar1 = 0

; Assign a Local variable the string "foo", its scope is Local because it's use is restricted to this scope.
Local $_sVar2 = "foo"

; Display the content of $_sVar2
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $sVar2: " & $_sVar2)

; Re-assign a Local variable the string returned by the function MyFunc.
$_sVar2 = MyFunc()

; Re-Display the content of $_sVar2
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $sVar2: " & $_sVar2)

; Declare a function (its main utility is described later in Functions, we can see one here which is to create a Local scope).
Func MyFunc()
; Local scope.

; Display the content of $_iVar1.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $_iVar1: " & $_iVar1)

; Assign a Local variable the string "bar", its scope is Local because it's use is restricted to the function's scope.
Local $sVar3 = "bar"

; Display the content of $sVar3.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $sVar3: " & $sVar3)

; Return the $sVar3 content, it will be visible (if used) to the scope where the function is called.
Return $sVar3
EndFunc ;==>MyFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Concerning the Dim keyword, its recommended usage is limited to empty an existing array (Example 1) or to redeclare a function parameter (Example 2).

Example 1:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Include the Array UDF, it's needed here for the _ArrayDisplay function.
#include <Array.au3>

; Assign a Local variable an array containing numbers with a size of 5.
; Note than an array is based 0 index, to access the first element the code is: $aiArray[0].
Local $aArray[5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

; Empty the array (and keep its size).
Dim $aArray[5]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)
</syntaxhighlight>
Remark: The variable type of the emptied array is a string, every variable non initialized is a string.

Example 2:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <Array.au3>

; Call MyFunc with default parameters ($vParam1 = 0).
MyFunc()

; Assign a Local variable an array containing integers.
Local $aiArray[3] = [3, 4, 5]
; Call MyFunc with $aiArray as parameter ($vParam1 = $aiArray).
MyFunc($aiArray)

Func MyFunc($vParam1 = 0)
; If $vParam1 is NOT an array then redeclare it to an array.
If IsArray($vParam1) = 0 Then
Dim $vParam1[3] = [0, 1, 2]
EndIf

; Display the array.
_ArrayDisplay($vParam1)
EndFunc ;==>MyFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

And for the ReDim keyword, limit its use to resize an array you want to keep its content:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Include the Array UDF, it's needed here for the _ArrayDisplay function.
#include <Array.au3>

; Assign a Local variable an array containing numbers with a size of 5.
; Note than an array is based 0 index, to access the first element the code is: $aiArray[0].
Local $aArray[5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

; Resize the array (and keep its content).
ReDim $aArray[3]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)
</syntaxhighlight>

Why using Dim over Local/Global is not always a good option:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Dim $vVariableThatIsGlobal = "This is a variable that has ""Program Scope"" aka Global."

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An example of why Dim can cause more problems than solve them.")

Example()

Func Example()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; That looks alright to me as it displays the following text: This is a variable that has "Program Scope" aka Global.

Local $vReturn = SomeFunc() ; Call some random function.

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, $vReturn, $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; The Global variable ($vVariableThatIsGlobal) changed because I totally forgot I had a duplicate variable name in "SomeFunc".
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
; This should create a variable in Local scope if the variable name doesn"t already exist.
; For argument sake I totally forgot that I declared a variable already with the same name.
; Well I only want this to be changed in the function and not the variable at the top of the script.
; Should be OK right? Think again.
Dim $vVariableThatIsGlobal = ""

For $i = 1 To 10
$vVariableThatIsGlobal &= $i ; This will return 12345678910 totally wiping the previous contents of $vVariableThatIsGlobal.
Next
Return $vVariableThatIsGlobal
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Declaring Global variables in a Function is never a good idea:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Calling Example() first will initialise the Global variable $vVariableThatIsGlobal and therefore calling SomeFunc() won't return an error.
; Now look at Example 2.
Example()

Func Example()
; Declaring a variable in a function can cause serious problems, hence why all Global variables should be declared at the top of a script.
Global $vVariableThatIsGlobal = 'This is a variable that has ''File Scope'' aka Global.'
SomeFunc()
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; As the variable was initialised this will not return an error.
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Example 2:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Calling SomeFunc() first will bypass the Global variable $vVariableThatIsGlobal being initialised and therefore AutoIt has no idea of what data the variable
; $vVariableThatIsGlobal contains.
SomeFunc()

Func Example()
; Declaring a variable in a function can cause serious problems, hence why all Global variables should be declared at the top of a script.
Global $vVariableThatIsGlobal = 'This is a variable that has ''File Scope'' aka Global.'
SomeFunc()
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; As the variable wasn't initialised this will return an error of "variable used without being declared."
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Declaring variables in loops (For, While, Do etc..) can have an affect on efficiency:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Declaring variables inside loops should be avoided as the variable is re-declared on each repetition.
For $i = 1 To 10 ; $i is in 'loop scope.'
Local $iInt = $i
Next
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $iInt) ; This will display 10.
</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Declaring variables outside of loops is more efficent in the long run.
Local $iInt = 0
For $i = 1 To 10 ; $i is in 'loop scope.'
$iInt = $i
Next
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $iInt) ; This will display 10.
</syntaxhighlight>

There is no requirement to declare the iteration count variable in a loop:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Correct
Local Const $iCount = 99
Local $aArray[$iCount]
For $i = 0 To UBound($iCount) - 1 ; $i is only used in the loop, so there is no requirement to declare it.
$aArray[$i] = $i
Next

; Incorrect
Local Const $iCount = 99
Local $aArray[$iCount]
Local $i ; This is only used to store the iteration count value in the loop and therefore doesn't need to be declared. This is known as loop scope.
For $i = 0 To UBound($iCount) - 1
$aArray[$i] = $i
Next
</syntaxhighlight>
As you can see, there is the Const keyword in the example, we are going to talk about it.

== Const, Static, Enum ==

=== Const ===
We won't talk about the advantages of a constant variable, they are neglibible (for your information, an autoit constant variable is marked as read-only and remains a variable as read-only when compiled).

The Const keyword may be used in a first by some of you to avoid re-assignments.
The best way to use them is not this last case, the constants should be used for real static variables, meaning that their value won't change regardless to the instance of the program.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Not recommended
Local Const $hGUI = GUICreate("MyGUI")
; The handle of the window is unique, it's generated by Windows and changes.

; Recommended
Local Const $iMyAge = 19
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Static ===
Static variables are the solution to the global variables used in only one function.
e.g: Retain variable data once returned from a Function and only use that variable in that particular Function.
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Example()

Func Example()
SomeFunc() ; This will display a message box of 1, 1.
SomeFunc() ; This will display a message box of 1, 2.
SomeFunc() ; This will display a message box of 1, 3.
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
; This initialises a Static variable in Local scope. When a variable is declared just in Local scope (within a Function,)
; it's destroyed when the Function ends/returns. This isn't the case for a Static variable. The variable can't be
; accessed from anywhere else in the script apart from the Function it was declared in.
Local Static $vVariableThatIsStatic = 0
Local $vVariableThatIsLocal = 0
$vVariableThatIsLocal += 1 ; This will always be 1 as it was destroyed once returned from SomeFunc.
$vVariableThatIsStatic += 1 ; This will increase by 1.
MsgBox(4096, $vVariableThatIsLocal, $vVariableThatIsStatic)
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Enum ===
This statement is often practical in certain situations:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
; Create variables in Local scope and enumerate through the variables. Default is to start from 0.
Local Enum $eCat, $eDog, $eMouse, $eHamster ; $eHamster is equal to the value 3, not 4.

; Create an array in Local scope with 4 elements.
Local $aAnimalNames[4]

; Assign each array element with the name of the respective animal. For example the name of the cat is Jasper.
$aAnimalNames[$eCat] = 'Jasper' ; $eCat is equal to 0, similar to using $aAnimalNames[0]
$aAnimalNames[$eDog] = 'Beethoven' ; $eDog is equal to 1, similar to using $aAnimalNames[1]
$aAnimalNames[$eMouse] = 'Pinky' ; $eMouse is equal to 2, similar to using $aAnimalNames[2]
$aAnimalNames[$eHamster] = 'Fidget' ; $eHamster is equal to 3, similar to using $aAnimalNames[3]

; Display the values of the array.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', '$aAnimalNames[$eCat] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eCat] & @CRLF & _
'$aAnimalNames[$eDog] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eDog] & @CRLF & _
'$aAnimalNames[$eMouse] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eMouse] & @CRLF & _
'$aAnimalNames[$eHamster] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eHamster] & @CRLF)

; Sometimes using this approach for accessing an element is more practical than using a numerical value, due to the fact changing the index value of
; the enum constant has no affect on it's position in the array. Therefore changing the location of $eCat in the array is as simple as changing the order
; it appears in the initial declaration e.g.

; Local Enum $eDog, $eMouse, $eCat, $eHamster

; Now $eCat is the 2nd element in the array. If you were using numerical values, you would have to manually change all references of $aAnimalNames[0] to
; $aAnimalNames[2], as well as for the other elements which have now shifted.
EndFunc ;==>Example
</syntaxhighlight>

== Au3Check directive ==
As you may know (and we hope), the Au3Check tool checks your code for syntax errors, variables used without being declared etc. which is a good thing to fix your script.

With the official custom directive used to check the helpfile examples/includes, you can apply the good coding practices listed above:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7
</syntaxhighlight>

== Magic Numbers ==
Magic numbers are arbitrary numbers interspersed throughout a program's source code which do not have an associated identifier. The downside to this is not being able to derive a meaning from the number.

For example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
MsgBox(262144, "Magic Numbers", "It's Adventure Time!")
</syntaxhighlight>
In this example, the magic number is 262144 with the identifier being $MB_TOPMOST according to the helpfile.

The corrected example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Magic Numbers", "It's Adventure Time!")
</syntaxhighlight>

Example 2:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Imagine you're a new user to AutoIt and you come across this code, where would you find -3, -4 or -5 in the help file?
; Since AutoIt is relatively a new concept to you, your first thought isn't to search through all the include files, I mean
; why would you, the help file is there for a reason.
Example()

Func Example()
Local $hGUI = GUICreate('')
GUICtrlCreateLabel('Why magic numbers are counter productive.', 5, 5)
GUICtrlSetState(Default, 128) ; Does this hide, show or disable it?
GUICtrlSetState(Default, 64) ; Does this hide, show or disable it?
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case -3 ; Doesn't really tell much about what it does.
ExitLoop

Case -4, -5 ; Again, no idea what these are. MouseMove? MouseClick? Restore?
MsgBox(4096, '', 'Do something when this action takes place.')

EndSwitch
WEnd

GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc ;==>Example
</syntaxhighlight>

Did you understand the numbers were these:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
Local $hGUI = GUICreate('')
GUICtrlCreateLabel('Why magic numbers are counter productive.', 5, 5)
GUICtrlSetState(Default, $GUI_DISABLE) ; Better, this is documented in the help file.
GUICtrlSetState(Default, $GUI_ENABLE) ; Better, this is documented in the help file.
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ; Better, this is documented in the help file. Ah, it's the close action.
ExitLoop

Case $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE ; Better, this is documented in the help file.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', 'Do something when this action takes place.') ; Better, this is documented in the help file.

EndSwitch
WEnd

GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc ;==>Example
</syntaxhighlight>

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming) Magic number (programming)]

== Include-once directive ==
This one is designed for standard includes and UDFs, it's highly recommended to use it.

Those includes may be included in more than one script of your project because they are needed for some includes or your script itself.
In that case, the code will be duplicated which is not a good thing especially if you have (and it's mainly the case) constants declared in those files, in so far as the constants cannot be redeclared/reassigned; same thing for functions.

Put the directive in top of your UDF (library) to avoid itself to be included more than once :
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include-once
</syntaxhighlight>

Rt01: Removed "AD GetOUTreeView" - it is more a UDF then a program

The purpose of this site is to provide a list of programs created in AutoIt. This list should contain only fully functional programs rather than pieces of code, or any type of library (UDF). 
You can talk about this list [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=167824 here].

== Active Directory tools ==
* [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/153072-active-directory-tool-userinfo Active Directory Tool: UserInfo (by Marc)]
:The tool displays information for a specified user taken from the active directory. It offers additional functions like comparing group membership with other users, unlock an account etc.

* [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/110614-active-directory-example-scripts AD Audit (by water)]
:On one/multiple big sheet(s) you get users (columns) and groups (rows). The list is sorted descending by number of members so you get the users with most groups and the groups with most members on top of the page. You can filter by (multiple) samaccountname(s), department or you can create your own LDAP query filter. You can filter the resulting list of groups using a Regular Expression.

* [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/110614-active-directory-example-scripts ADAT - Active Directory Administration Tool (by water)]
:ADAT is a tool to simplify common AD administration tasks. Every administration task has its own tab. It is easy to add new functions (tabs) to the tool. Some often used functions are already available: list users, computers, OUs. File ADAT.ini can be customized to hold the AD logon information if necessary. By default the user running the script connects to the AD.

* [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/110614-active-directory-example-scripts ADCU - Active Directory Compare Users (by water)]
:ADCU displays two users and their group membership in two listviews. You can filter and export the data to Excel, Outlook mail and the clipboard.

* [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/110614-active-directory-example-scripts ADCG - Active Directory Compare Groups (by water)]
:ADGU displays two groups and their direct members in two listviews. You can filter and export the data to Excel, Outlook mail and the clipboard.

== Desktop tools ==
* [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/80320-cop-color-picker-multi-value-color-picking COP - Color Picker - Multi value color picking (by KaFu)]

History

2015-03-10T20:02:45Z

Rt01:

This article is more than just a simple change log. It describes the history of AutoIt by travelling back in time and using all kind of sources to describe how AutoIt became what it is now. Enjoy!
== History ==
'''<big>October, 1998:</big>''' Jon was working on a project to automate the installation of Windows NT 4 for a company, Jon had difficulties with installing some components which didn't take parameters from external programs, so Jon was searching for a program which could force button clicks and he found Microsoft ScriptIt but Jon found that it was extremely unreliable. 
Jon said:

''"It was notoriously fussy about the speed of the machine it was used on and had no way to control the key delays between keystrokes. Another feature that caused problems was that there was no way to specify a working directory when running a program which caused loads of problems with many of the applications I was scripting. Also, some of the functions didn't work under NT 5 beta (i.e. Windows 2000)".'' 
 

'''<big>25 December, 1998:</big>''' Jon decided to make a program (AutoIt v1) in C as a better alternative to Microsoft ScriptIt. 
 

'''<big>January, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1 was released on [http://www.winfiles.com WinFiles.com] (now [http://download.cnet.com download.cnet.com]). 
[[File:Win Help Homepage.png|600x400px|link=https://www.autoitscript.com/w/images/9/9b/Win_Help_Homepage.png|WinFiles.com (no longer exists)]] 
 
From the official v1.0 helpfile: 
:Advantages:
:* It's much smaller at 40Kb (600Kb smaller than ScriptIt).
:* It will be updated if problems are found.
:* The "Reveal" function is much better.
:* Non-active as well as active windows can be waited for.
:* Variable delays are possible (defined in milliseconds).
:* The time in between keystrokes can be altered.
:* When running an application, a working directory can be specified.
:* Will force Windows to be active under Win98/NT 5.0 (Use "WinActivate") 

:Disadvantages:
:* The "[ADLIB]" section is not implemented.
:* The script file must be formatted correctly (no white spaces allowed on lines containing a command).
:* None of the Wilson WinBatch commands are featured. (But who used them anyway?).
:* Due to the command names I've used, the scripts tend to be a little larger. 
 
'''<big>January - April, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1.8 was released with many cool features like:
* Cool /reveal mode
* Goto!
* IfWin...
* Mouse control
* ScriptIt ADLIB-like support
* Gosub
* %ENV% variable support
 

'''<big>August, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2 was released with the first version of AutoItX. 
 

'''<big>September, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2.1 was released along with first version of Aut2Exe. 
 

'''<big>22 December, 1999:</big>''' hiddensoft.com (First official site of AutoIt) was registered. 
[[File:AutoIt-History-2.png|600x400px|link=https://www.autoitscript.com/w/images/7/72/AutoIt-History-2.png|hiddensoft.com (First official site of AutoIt)]] 
 

'''<big>September, 1999 - May, 2001:</big>''' Rapid development in AutoIt with loads of additional function. 
 

'''<big>May, 2001:</big>''' The AutoIt source code was a mess and the entire source was re-written in C++. 
 

'''<big>January, 2002:</big>''' First version of Exe2Aut & AutoIt DLL was created. 
 

'''<big>December, 2002:</big>''' AutoIt v2.64 (last version of AutoIt v2) was released with new FileInstall function after writing his (Jon) own compression and archive library. 
 

'''<big>20 January, 2003:</big>''' Jon decided to start work on development framework of AutoIt v3, since AutoIt v2 had some flaws. 
Jon said: 

''"Very little development was done from 2001 to 2003. Project had reached the point where I'd lost the will to work on it. The source code was a mess again because in this sort of project you tend to add on every function that everyone wants without thinking about the future. The AutoIt v2 syntax was really horrible.'' 

''Half the requests I got were for proper loops and expressions - half of the questions were "how do I use a backslash in a Run command". Arrgh. In this time there were numerous "add-ons" like Aut2xtra created by Larry that allowed the use of some of the missing functions from AutoIt (because I hadn't the time or motivation to add them).'' 

''IIRC Larry suggested that he was frustrated with the lack of development and suggested writing a new version. I decided that if a new version was wanted then it should be more like a "proper" language. I started the development framework for AutoIt v3.'' 

''Previous versions were very strict about syntax it was "Command, param1, param2,..." and it took about a month to come up with something that could read in a line containing complex expressions (a whooooole lot of googling required). Although I "get" it now, writing the expression code in AutoIt was the 2nd hardest thing I'd ever done. (Hardest thing I've written was the compression code used in Aut2Exe that I wrote from scratch)'' 

''Most of the current devs starting helping out soon after this point. I forget when each person starting helping so hopefully they can fill in here."'' 
 

'''<big>4 March, 2003:</big>''' First (beta) version of AutoIt v3 was released. 
 

'''<big>20 August, 2003:</big>''' Started logging of AutoIt version history. 
 

'''<big>12 August, 2006:</big>''' AutoIt switched to closed source from GPL because other developers were using AutoIt source's to make a rival language as a competitor to AutoIt. 
 

'''<big>February, 2004:</big>''' First version of AutoIt v3.0.100 was released. 
 

'''<big>5 May, 2004:</big>''' AutoItScript.com was registered.

Another feature that caused problems was that there was no way to specify a working directory when running a program which caused loads of problems with many of the applications I was scripting. Also, some of the functions didn't work under NT 5 beta (i.e. Windows 2000)".'' 
 

'''<big>25 December, 1998:</big>''' Jon decided to make a program (AutoIt v1) in C as a better alternative to Microsoft ScriptIt. 
 

'''<big>January, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1 was released. 
From the official v1.0 helpfile: 
:Advantages:
:* It's much smaller at 40Kb (600Kb smaller than ScriptIt).
:* It will be updated if problems are found.
:* The "Reveal" function is much better.
:* Non-active as well as active windows can be waited for.
:* Variable delays are possible (defined in milliseconds).
:* The time in between keystrokes can be altered.
:* When running an application, a working directory can be specified.
:* Will force Windows to be active under Win98/NT 5.0 (Use "WinActivate") 

:Disadvantages:
:* The "[ADLIB]" section is not implemented.
:* The script file must be formatted correctly (no white spaces allowed on lines containing a command).
:* None of the Wilson WinBatch commands are featured. (But who used them anyway?).
:* Due to the command names I've used, the scripts tend to be a little larger. 
 
'''<big>January - April, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1.8 was released with many cool features like:
* Cool /reveal mode
* Goto!
* IfWin...
* Mouse control
* ScriptIt ADLIB-like support
* Gosub
* %ENV% variable support
 

'''<big>August, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2 was released with the first version of AutoItX. 
 

'''<big>September, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2.1 was released along with first version of Aut2Exe. 
 

'''<big>22 December, 1999:</big>''' hiddensoft.com (First official site of AutoIt) was registered. 
[[File:AutoIt-History-2.png|600x400px|link=https://www.autoitscript.com/w/images/7/72/AutoIt-History-2.png|hiddensoft.com (First official site of AutoIt)]] 
 

'''<big>September, 1999 - May, 2001:</big>''' Rapid development in AutoIt with loads of additional function. 
 

'''<big>May, 2001:</big>''' The AutoIt source code was a mess and the entire source was re-written in C++. 
 

'''<big>January, 2002:</big>''' First version of Exe2Aut & AutoIt DLL was created. 
 

'''<big>December, 2002:</big>''' AutoIt v2.64 (last version of AutoIt v2) was released with new FileInstall function after writing his (Jon) own compression and archive library. 
 

'''<big>20 January, 2003:</big>''' Jon decided to start work on development framework of AutoIt v3, since AutoIt v2 had some flaws. 
Jon said: 

''"Very little development was done from 2001 to 2003. Project had reached the point where I'd lost the will to work on it. The source code was a mess again because in this sort of project you tend to add on every function that everyone wants without thinking about the future. The AutoIt v2 syntax was really horrible.'' 

''Half the requests I got were for proper loops and expressions - half of the questions were "how do I use a backslash in a Run command". Arrgh. In this time there were numerous "add-ons" like Aut2xtra created by Larry that allowed the use of some of the missing functions from AutoIt (because I hadn't the time or motivation to add them).'' 

''IIRC Larry suggested that he was frustrated with the lack of development and suggested writing a new version. I decided that if a new version was wanted then it should be more like a "proper" language. I started the development framework for AutoIt v3.'' 

''Previous versions were very strict about syntax it was "Command, param1, param2,..." and it took about a month to come up with something that could read in a line containing complex expressions (a whooooole lot of googling required). Although I "get" it now, writing the expression code in AutoIt was the 2nd hardest thing I'd ever done. (Hardest thing I've written was the compression code used in Aut2Exe that I wrote from scratch)'' 

''Most of the current devs starting helping out soon after this point. I forget when each person starting helping so hopefully they can fill in here."'' 
 

'''<big>4 March, 2003:</big>''' First (beta) version of AutoIt v3 was released. 
 

'''<big>20 August, 2003:</big>''' Started logging of AutoIt version history. 
 

'''<big>12 August, 2006:</big>''' AutoIt switched to closed source from GPL because other developers were using AutoIt source's to make a rival language as a competitor to AutoIt. 
 

'''<big>February, 2004:</big>''' First version of AutoIt v3.0.100 was released. 
 

'''<big>5 May, 2004:</big>''' AutoItScript.com was registered.

Best coding practices

2015-03-08T09:11:16Z

Rt01:

Outlined in this section is a detailed explanation of what are to be considered the best coding practices within AutoIt. These recommendations are based on accepted coding practices common to a number of other programming languages. You do not need to follow them, but it is recommended that you do.

A few notes:
* You must use the latest version of AutoIt (v3.3.10.0 or above) to run the examples below.

__TOC__

== Names of Variables ==
The variable naming convention used in AutoIt is based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation Apps Hungarian notation]. The prefix defines the logical data type rather than the physical data type: in this way, it gives a hint as to what the variable's purpose is, or what it represents. The prefix does not encode the actual data type: this occurs during assignment. See the table below for accepted standards.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! prefix !! covering type !! example
|-
| i || Integer || $iInteger = 10
|-
| f || Floating point || $fFloat = 0.123
|-
| n || General number (no preference) || $nNumber = 0
|-
| a || Arrays || $aArray[0]
|-
| m || Maps || $mMap[]
|-
| s || Strings (chars included) || $sString = "hello world"
|-
| b || Booleans || $bBool = True
|-
| d || Binaries || $dBinary = Binary("0x80000000")
|-
| id || An AutoIt controlID || $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 5, 5)
|-
| h || Handles (and GUI handles) || $hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI")
|-
| fu || Functions || $fuMessage = MsgBox
|-
| p || Pointers || $pRect = DllStructGetPtr($tRECT)
|-
| tag || Structures definition || $tagDATE = "struct; word Year;word Month;word Dow;word Day; endstruct"
|-
| t || Structures || $t = 0
|-
| o || Objects || $oShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")
|-
| v || Variant || $vData = ClipGet()
|-
| e || Enumerations || Enum $e1st = 1, $e2nd, $e3rd
|-
| k || Keywords || $kKeyword = Default
|}

Variables are named following this schema:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! dollar prefix !! type (lower case) !! [optional] subtype (lower case) !! var name (first letter in upper case)
|-
| $ || a || h || Handles
|}

Examples:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Assign a local variable the integer 7.
Local $iWeekDays = 7

; Assign a local variable the value of Pi.
Local $fPi = 3.14159265358979

; Assign a local variable an array of strings.
Local $asArray[7] = ['mon', 'tue', 'wed', 'thu', 'fri', 'sat', 'sun']

; Assign a local variable an array of numbers.
Local $anArray[4] = [0, 0.25, 3 / 4, 12]
</syntaxhighlight>
 

== Variable Initialization ==
When initializing variables there are several points to consider. It is bad practice to hog memory by holding data which is not immediately required. It is therefore recommended that you declare and initialize variables immediately prior to use. If you wish to assign a default value to a variable which you intend to overwrite later, then the data should be of the same (or the most logical representation of its) type and use as little memory as possible.

Examples:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Inconsistent data types are considered bad.
Local $iInteger = "0"
Local $sString = False

; Correct initialization
Local $iInteger = 0
Local $sString = ''
</syntaxhighlight>
 

To reduce bloat, multiple variables can be declared on a single line. When declaring multiple variables on the same line, it is generally recommended that you stick to declaring one data type on each line. The intention here is to make the code easier to follow, however the best layout will vary according to circumstance.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Not recommended
Local $sString = "", $iInteger = 0, $asArray = ["a","b","c"] ; Mixed data types

; Recommended
Local $iLeft = 10, $iTop = 10 ; integers
Local $idGo = GUICtrlCreateButton("Go", $iLeft, $iTop), $idQuit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Quit", 50, 10) ; controlIDs
</syntaxhighlight>
 

In some languages it is essential to initialize variables on declaration, but this is not the case with AutoIt. Regarding data type, variables declared without being initialized should be considered as being undefined.
 

== Scopes of Variables ==
To make the transition, the variables are also named according to their scope.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Global UDF variable !! Global variable !! Local variable
|-
| $g__iSomeVar || $g_iSomeVar || $iSomeVar
|}
With this method, you will avoid non wanted re-assignments.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Assign a Global variable the number 0.
Global $iSomeVar1 = 0
; Assign a Global variable the number 5.
Global $_iSomeVar2 = 5

SomeFunc()

Func SomeFunc()
; Assign Local variables respectively the numbers 3 and 4.
Local $iSomeVar1 = 3, $iSomeVar2 = 4

; Note: The user inadvertently re-assigned the global variable $iSomeVar1, because this one is not named as "global".

; Display the value of $iSomeVar1.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $iSomeVar1: " & $iSomeVar1)

; Display the value of $iSomeVar2.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $iSomeVar2: " & $iSomeVar2)

; Display the value of $_iSomeVar2.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $_iSomeVar2: " & $_iSomeVar2)
EndFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

* A variable declared globally (with the Global keyword) is visible anywhere in the script. Always declare your global variables in the global scope, not in the functions. It will prevent another function to use it before its declaration and the declaration is implicit (see [[#jumpsec1|examples]]).

* A variable declared locally (with the Local keyword), has a visibility which depends of the scope where it's declared.
:Declaration in the global scope: the variable is nonetheless visible everywhere; declare it as Local if this one is only used in the same scope.
:Declaration in a function: the variable is visible by the function itself and nowhere else.

Structure of a code scope:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Global scope.

; Include the Constants file, it contains various constants; it's needed here for the $MB_SYSTEMMODAL flag of the MsgBox function).
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; This scope is either Global or Local, depending on where do you use the variables.

; Assign a Global variable the number 0 (which corresponds to an initialization of a variable number), its scope is Global because it's used at least in one function.
Global $_iVar1 = 0

; Assign a Local variable the string "foo", its scope is Local because it's use is restricted to this scope.
Local $_sVar2 = "foo"

; Display the content of $_sVar2
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $sVar2: " & $_sVar2)

; Re-assign a Local variable the string returned by the function MyFunc.
$_sVar2 = MyFunc()

; Re-Display the content of $_sVar2
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $sVar2: " & $_sVar2)

; Declare a function (its main utility is described later in Functions, we can see one here which is to create a Local scope).
Func MyFunc()
; Local scope.

; Display the content of $_iVar1.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $_iVar1: " & $_iVar1)

; Assign a Local variable the string "bar", its scope is Local because it's use is restricted to the function's scope.
Local $sVar3 = "bar"

; Display the content of $sVar3.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $sVar3: " & $sVar3)

; Return the $sVar3 content, it will be visible (if used) to the scope where the function is called.
Return $sVar3
EndFunc ;==>MyFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Concerning the Dim keyword, its recommended usage is limited to empty an existing array (Example 1) or to redeclare a function parameter (Example 2).

Example 1:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Include the Array UDF, it's needed here for the _ArrayDisplay function.
#include <Array.au3>

; Assign a Local variable an array containing numbers with a size of 5.
; Note than an array is based 0 index, to access the first element the code is: $aiArray[0].
Local $aArray[5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

; Empty the array (and keep its size).
Dim $aArray[5]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)
</syntaxhighlight>
Remark: The variable type of the emptied array is a string, every variable non initialized is a string.

Example 2:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <Array.au3>

; Call MyFunc with default parameters ($vParam1 = 0).
MyFunc()

; Assign a Local variable an array containing integers.
Local $aiArray[3] = [3, 4, 5]
; Call MyFunc with $aiArray as parameter ($vParam1 = $aiArray).
MyFunc($aiArray)

Func MyFunc($vParam1 = 0)
; If $vParam1 is NOT an array then redeclare it to an array.
If IsArray($vParam1) = 0 Then
Dim $vParam1[3] = [0, 1, 2]
EndIf

; Display the array.
_ArrayDisplay($vParam1)
EndFunc ;==>MyFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

And for the ReDim keyword, limit its use to resize an array you want to keep its content:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Include the Array UDF, it's needed here for the _ArrayDisplay function.
#include <Array.au3>

; Assign a Local variable an array containing numbers with a size of 5.
; Note than an array is based 0 index, to access the first element the code is: $aiArray[0].
Local $aArray[5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

; Resize the array (and keep its content).
ReDim $aArray[3]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)
</syntaxhighlight>

Why using Dim over Local/Global is not always a good option:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Dim $vVariableThatIsGlobal = "This is a variable that has ""Program Scope"" aka Global."

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An example of why Dim can cause more problems than solve them.")

Example()

Func Example()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; That looks alright to me as it displays the following text: This is a variable that has "Program Scope" aka Global.

Local $vReturn = SomeFunc() ; Call some random function.

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, $vReturn, $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; The Global variable ($vVariableThatIsGlobal) changed because I totally forgot I had a duplicate variable name in "SomeFunc".
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
; This should create a variable in Local scope if the variable name doesn"t already exist.
; For argument sake I totally forgot that I declared a variable already with the same name.
; Well I only want this to be changed in the function and not the variable at the top of the script.
; Should be OK right? Think again.
Dim $vVariableThatIsGlobal = ""

For $i = 1 To 10
$vVariableThatIsGlobal &= $i ; This will return 12345678910 totally wiping the previous contents of $vVariableThatIsGlobal.
Next
Return $vVariableThatIsGlobal
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Declaring Global variables in a Function is never a good idea:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Calling Example() first will initialise the Global variable $vVariableThatIsGlobal and therefore calling SomeFunc() won't return an error.
; Now look at Example 2.
Example()

Func Example()
; Declaring a variable in a function can cause serious problems, hence why all Global variables should be declared at the top of a script.
Global $vVariableThatIsGlobal = 'This is a variable that has ''File Scope'' aka Global.'
SomeFunc()
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; As the variable was initialised this will not return an error.
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Example 2:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Calling SomeFunc() first will bypass the Global variable $vVariableThatIsGlobal being initialised and therefore AutoIt has no idea of what data the variable
; $vVariableThatIsGlobal contains.
SomeFunc()

Func Example()
; Declaring a variable in a function can cause serious problems, hence why all Global variables should be declared at the top of a script.
Global $vVariableThatIsGlobal = 'This is a variable that has ''File Scope'' aka Global.'
SomeFunc()
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; As the variable wasn't initialised this will return an error of "variable used without being declared."
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Declaring variables in loops (For, While, Do etc..) can have an affect on efficiency:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Declaring variables inside loops should be avoided as the variable is re-declared on each repetition.
For $i = 1 To 10 ; $i is in 'loop scope.'
Local $iInt = $i
Next
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $iInt) ; This will display 10.
</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Declaring variables outside of loops is more efficent in the long run.
Local $iInt = 0
For $i = 1 To 10 ; $i is in 'loop scope.'
$iInt = $i
Next
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $iInt) ; This will display 10.
</syntaxhighlight>

There is no requirement to declare the iteration count variable in a loop:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Correct
Local Const $iCount = 99
Local $aArray[$iCount]
For $i = 0 To UBound($iCount) - 1 ; $i is only used in the loop, so there is no requirement to declare it.
$aArray[$i] = $i
Next

; Incorrect
Local Const $iCount = 99
Local $aArray[$iCount]
Local $i ; This is only used to store the iteration count value in the loop and therefore doesn't need to be declared. This is known as loop scope.
For $i = 0 To UBound($iCount) - 1
$aArray[$i] = $i
Next
</syntaxhighlight>
As you can see, there is the Const keyword in the example, we are going to talk about it.

== Const, Static, Enum ==

=== Const ===
We won't talk about the advantages of a constant variable, they are neglibible (for your information, an autoit constant variable is marked as read-only and remains a variable as read-only when compiled).

The Const keyword may be used in a first by some of you to avoid re-assignments.
The best way to use them is not this last case, the constants should be used for real static variables, meaning that their value won't change regardless to the instance of the program.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Not recommended
Local Const $hGUI = GUICreate("MyGUI")
; The handle of the window is unique, it's generated by Windows and changes.

; Recommended
Local Const $iMyAge = 19
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Static ===
Static variables are the solution to the global variables used in only one function.
e.g: Retain variable data once returned from a Function and only use that variable in that particular Function.
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Example()

Func Example()
SomeFunc() ; This will display a message box of 1, 1.
SomeFunc() ; This will display a message box of 1, 2.
SomeFunc() ; This will display a message box of 1, 3.
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
; This initialises a Static variable in Local scope. When a variable is declared just in Local scope (within a Function,)
; it's destroyed when the Function ends/returns. This isn't the case for a Static variable. The variable can't be
; accessed from anywhere else in the script apart from the Function it was declared in.
Local Static $vVariableThatIsStatic = 0
Local $vVariableThatIsLocal = 0
$vVariableThatIsLocal += 1 ; This will always be 1 as it was destroyed once returned from SomeFunc.
$vVariableThatIsStatic += 1 ; This will increase by 1.
MsgBox(4096, $vVariableThatIsLocal, $vVariableThatIsStatic)
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Enum ===
This statement is often practical in certain situations:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
; Create variables in Local scope and enumerate through the variables. Default is to start from 0.
Local Enum $eCat, $eDog, $eMouse, $eHamster ; $eHamster is equal to the value 3, not 4.

; Create an array in Local scope with 4 elements.
Local $aAnimalNames[4]

; Assign each array element with the name of the respective animal. For example the name of the cat is Jasper.
$aAnimalNames[$eCat] = 'Jasper' ; $eCat is equal to 0, similar to using $aAnimalNames[0]
$aAnimalNames[$eDog] = 'Beethoven' ; $eDog is equal to 1, similar to using $aAnimalNames[1]
$aAnimalNames[$eMouse] = 'Pinky' ; $eMouse is equal to 2, similar to using $aAnimalNames[2]
$aAnimalNames[$eHamster] = 'Fidget' ; $eHamster is equal to 3, similar to using $aAnimalNames[3]

; Display the values of the array.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', '$aAnimalNames[$eCat] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eCat] & @CRLF & _
'$aAnimalNames[$eDog] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eDog] & @CRLF & _
'$aAnimalNames[$eMouse] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eMouse] & @CRLF & _
'$aAnimalNames[$eHamster] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eHamster] & @CRLF)

; Sometimes using this approach for accessing an element is more practical than using a numerical value, due to the fact changing the index value of
; the enum constant has no affect on it's position in the array. Therefore changing the location of $eCat in the array is as simple as changing the order
; it appears in the initial declaration e.g.

; Local Enum $eDog, $eMouse, $eCat, $eHamster

; Now $eCat is the 2nd element in the array. If you were using numerical values, you would have to manually change all references of $aAnimalNames[0] to
; $aAnimalNames[2], as well as for the other elements which have now shifted.
EndFunc ;==>Example
</syntaxhighlight>

== Au3Check directive ==
As you may know (and we hope), the Au3Check tool checks your code for syntax errors, variables used without being declared etc. which is a good thing to fix your script.

With the official custom directive used to check the helpfile examples/includes, you can apply the good coding practices listed above:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7
</syntaxhighlight>

== Magic Numbers ==
Magic numbers are arbitrary numbers interspersed throughout a program's source code which do not have an associated identifier. The downside to this is not being able to derive a meaning from the number.

For example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
MsgBox(262144, "Magic Numbers", "It's Adventure Time!")
</syntaxhighlight>
In this example, the magic number is 262144 with the identifier being $MB_TOPMOST according to the helpfile.

The corrected example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Magic Numbers", "It's Adventure Time!")
</syntaxhighlight>

Example 2:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Imagine you're a new user to AutoIt and you come across this code, where would you find -3, -4 or -5 in the help file?
; Since AutoIt is relatively a new concept to you, your first thought isn't to search through all the include files, I mean
; why would you, the help file is there for a reason.
Example()

Func Example()
Local $hGUI = GUICreate('')
GUICtrlCreateLabel('Why magic numbers are counter productive.', 5, 5)
GUICtrlSetState(Default, 128) ; Does this hide, show or disable it?
GUICtrlSetState(Default, 64) ; Does this hide, show or disable it?
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case -3 ; Doesn't really tell much about what it does.
ExitLoop

Case -4, -5 ; Again, no idea what these are. MouseMove? MouseClick? Restore?
MsgBox(4096, '', 'Do something when this action takes place.')

EndSwitch
WEnd

GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc ;==>Example
</syntaxhighlight>

Did you understand the numbers were these:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
Local $hGUI = GUICreate('')
GUICtrlCreateLabel('Why magic numbers are counter productive.', 5, 5)
GUICtrlSetState(Default, $GUI_DISABLE) ; Better, this is documented in the help file.
GUICtrlSetState(Default, $GUI_ENABLE) ; Better, this is documented in the help file.
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ; Better, this is documented in the help file. Ah, it's the close action.
ExitLoop

Case $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE ; Better, this is documented in the help file.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', 'Do something when this action takes place.') ; Better, this is documented in the help file.

EndSwitch
WEnd

GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc ;==>Example
</syntaxhighlight>

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming) Magic number (programming)]

== Include-once directive ==
This one is designed for standard includes and UDFs, it's highly recommended to use it.

Those includes may be included in more than one script of your project because they are needed for some includes or your script itself.
In that case, the code will be duplicated which is not a good thing especially if you have (and it's mainly the case) constants declared in those files, in so far as the constants cannot be redeclared/reassigned; same thing for functions.

Put the directive in top of your UDF (library) to avoid itself to be included more than once :
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include-once
</syntaxhighlight>

* You must use the latest version of AutoIt (v3.3.10.0 or above) to run the examples below.

__TOC__

== Names of Variables ==
The variable naming convention used in AutoIt is based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation Apps Hungarian notation]. The prefix defines the logical data type rather than the physical data type: in this way, it gives a hint as to what the variable's purpose is, or what it represents. The prefix does not encode the actual data type: this occurs during assignment. See the table below for accepted standards.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! prefix !! covering type !! example
|-
| i || Integer || $iInteger = 10
|-
| f || Floating point || $fFloat = 0.123
|-
| n || General number (no preference) || $nNumber = 0
|-
| a || Arrays || $aArray[0]
|-
| m || Maps || $mMap[]
|-
| s || Strings (chars included) || $sString = "hello world"
|-
| b || Booleans || $bBool = True
|-
| d || Binaries || $dBinary = Binary("0x80000000")
|-
| id || An AutoIt controlID || $idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 5, 5)
|-
| h || Handles (and GUI handles) || $hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI")
|-
| fu || Functions || $fuMessage = MsgBox
|-
| p || Pointers || $pRect = DllStructGetPtr($tRECT)
|-
| tag || Structures definition || $tagDATE = "struct; word Year;word Month;word Dow;word Day; endstruct"
|-
| t || Structures || $t = 0
|-
| o || Objects || $oShell = ObjCreate("shell.application")
|-
| v || Variant || $vData = ClipGet()
|-
| e || Enumerations || Enum $e1st = 1, $e2nd, $e3rd
|-
| k || Keywords || $kKeyword = Default
|}

Variables are named following this schema:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! dollar prefix !! type (lower case) !! [optional] subtype (lower case) !! var name (first letter in upper case)
|-
| $ || a || h || Handles
|}

Examples:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Assign a local variable the integer 7.
Local $iWeekDays = 7

; Assign a local variable the value of Pi.
Local $fPi = 3.14159265358979

; Assign a local variable an array of strings.
Local $asArray[7] = ['mon', 'tue', 'wed', 'thu', 'fri', 'sat', 'sun']

; Assign a local variable an array of numbers.
Local $anArray[4] = [0, 0.25, 3 / 4, 12]
</syntaxhighlight>
 

== Variable Initialization ==
When initializing variables there are several points to consider. It is bad practice to hog memory by holding data which is not immediately required. It is therefore recommended that you declare and initialize variables immediately prior to use. If you wish to assign a default value to a variable which you intend to overwrite later, then the data should be of the same (or the most logical representation of its) type and use as little memory as possible.

Examples:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Inconsistent data types are considered bad.
Local $iInteger = "0"
Local $sString = False

; Correct initialization
Local $iInteger = 0
Local $sString = ''
</syntaxhighlight>
 

To reduce bloat, multiple variables can be declared on a single line. When declaring multiple variables on the same line, it is generally recommended that you stick to declaring one data type on each line. The intention here is to make the code easier to follow, however the best layout will vary according to circumstance.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Not recommended
Local $sString = "", $iInteger = 0, $asArray = ["a","b","c"] ; Mixed data types

; Recommended
Local $iLeft = 10, $iTop = 10 ; integers
Local $idGo = GUICtrlCreateButton("Go", $iLeft, $iTop), $idQuit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Quit", 50, 10) ; controlIDs
</syntaxhighlight>
 

In some languages it is essential to initialize variables on declaration, but this is not the case with AutoIt. Regarding data type, variables declared without being initialized should be considered as being undefined.
 

== Scopes of Variables ==
To make the transition, the variables are also named according to their scope.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Global UDF variable !! Global variable !! Local variable
|-
| $g__iSomeVar || $g_iSomeVar || $iSomeVar
|}
With this method, you will avoid non wanted re-assignments.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Assign a Global variable the number 0.
Global $iSomeVar1 = 0
; Assign a Global variable the number 5.
Global $_iSomeVar2 = 5

SomeFunc()

Func SomeFunc()
; Assign Local variables respectively the numbers 3 and 4.
Local $iSomeVar1 = 3, $iSomeVar2 = 4

; Note: The user inadvertently re-assigned the global variable $iSomeVar1, because this one is not named as "global".

; Display the value of $iSomeVar1.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $iSomeVar1: " & $iSomeVar1)

; Display the value of $iSomeVar2.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $iSomeVar2: " & $iSomeVar2)

; Display the value of $_iSomeVar2.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $_iSomeVar2: " & $_iSomeVar2)
EndFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

* A variable declared globally (with the Global keyword) is visible anywhere in the script. Always declare your global variables in the global scope, not in the functions. It will prevent another function to use it before its declaration and the declaration is implicit (see [[#jumpsec1|examples]]).

* A variable declared locally (with the Local keyword), has a visibility which depends of the scope where it's declared.
:Declaration in the global scope: the variable is nonetheless visible everywhere; declare it as Local if this one is only used in the same scope.
:Declaration in a function: the variable is visible by the function itself and nowhere else.

Structure of a code scope:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Global scope.

; Include the Constants file, it contains various constants; it's needed here for the $MB_SYSTEMMODAL flag of the MsgBox function).
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; This scope is either Global or Local, depending on where do you use the variables.

; Assign a Global variable the number 0 (which corresponds to an initialization of a variable number), its scope is Global because it's used at least in one function.
Global $_iVar1 = 0

; Assign a Local variable the string "foo", its scope is Local because it's use is restricted to this scope.
Local $_sVar2 = "foo"

; Display the content of $_sVar2
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $sVar2: " & $_sVar2)

; Re-assign a Local variable the string returned by the function MyFunc.
$_sVar2 = MyFunc()

; Re-Display the content of $_sVar2
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $sVar2: " & $_sVar2)

; Declare a function (its main utility is described later in Functions, we can see one here which is to create a Local scope).
Func MyFunc()
; Local scope.

; Display the content of $_iVar1.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $_iVar1: " & $_iVar1)

; Assign a Local variable the string "bar", its scope is Local because it's use is restricted to the function's scope.
Local $sVar3 = "bar"

; Display the content of $sVar3.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $sVar3: " & $sVar3)

; Return the $sVar3 content, it will be visible (if used) to the scope where the function is called.
Return $sVar3
EndFunc ;==>MyFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Concerning the Dim keyword, its recommended usage is limited to empty an existing array (Example 1) or to redeclare a function parameter (Example 2).

Example 1:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Include the Array UDF, it's needed here for the _ArrayDisplay function.
#include <Array.au3>

; Assign a Local variable an array containing numbers with a size of 5.
; Note than an array is based 0 index, to access the first element the code is: $aiArray[0].
Local $aArray[5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

; Empty the array (and keep its size).
Dim $aArray[5]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)
</syntaxhighlight>
Remark: The variable type of the emptied array is a string, every variable non initialized is a string.

Example 2:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <Array.au3>

; Call MyFunc with default parameters ($vParam1 = 0).
MyFunc()

; Assign a Local variable an array containing integers.
Local $aiArray[3] = [3, 4, 5]
; Call MyFunc with $aiArray as parameter ($vParam1 = $aiArray).
MyFunc($aiArray)

Func MyFunc($vParam1 = 0)
; If $vParam1 is NOT an array then redeclare it to an array.
If IsArray($vParam1) = 0 Then
Dim $vParam1[3] = [0, 1, 2]
EndIf

; Display the array.
_ArrayDisplay($vParam1)
EndFunc ;==>MyFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

And for the ReDim keyword, limit its use to resize an array you want to keep its content:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Include the Array UDF, it's needed here for the _ArrayDisplay function.
#include <Array.au3>

; Assign a Local variable an array containing numbers with a size of 5.
; Note than an array is based 0 index, to access the first element the code is: $aiArray[0].
Local $aArray[5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

; Resize the array (and keep its content).
ReDim $aArray[3]

; Display the contents.
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)
</syntaxhighlight>

Why using Dim over Local/Global is not always a good option:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Dim $vVariableThatIsGlobal = "This is a variable that has ""Program Scope"" aka Global."

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An example of why Dim can cause more problems than solve them.")

Example()

Func Example()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; That looks alright to me as it displays the following text: This is a variable that has "Program Scope" aka Global.

Local $vReturn = SomeFunc() ; Call some random function.

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, $vReturn, $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; The Global variable ($vVariableThatIsGlobal) changed because I totally forgot I had a duplicate variable name in "SomeFunc".
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
; This should create a variable in Local scope if the variable name doesn"t already exist.
; For argument sake I totally forgot that I declared a variable already with the same name.
; Well I only want this to be changed in the function and not the variable at the top of the script.
; Should be OK right? Think again.
Dim $vVariableThatIsGlobal = ""

For $i = 1 To 10
$vVariableThatIsGlobal &= $i ; This will return 12345678910 totally wiping the previous contents of $vVariableThatIsGlobal.
Next
Return $vVariableThatIsGlobal
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Declaring Global variables in a Function is never a good idea:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Calling Example() first will initialise the Global variable $vVariableThatIsGlobal and therefore calling SomeFunc() won't return an error.
; Now look at Example 2.
Example()

Func Example()
; Declaring a variable in a function can cause serious problems, hence why all Global variables should be declared at the top of a script.
Global $vVariableThatIsGlobal = 'This is a variable that has ''File Scope'' aka Global.'
SomeFunc()
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; As the variable was initialised this will not return an error.
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Example 2:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Calling SomeFunc() first will bypass the Global variable $vVariableThatIsGlobal being initialised and therefore AutoIt has no idea of what data the variable
; $vVariableThatIsGlobal contains.
SomeFunc()

Func Example()
; Declaring a variable in a function can cause serious problems, hence why all Global variables should be declared at the top of a script.
Global $vVariableThatIsGlobal = 'This is a variable that has ''File Scope'' aka Global.'
SomeFunc()
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; As the variable wasn't initialised this will return an error of "variable used without being declared."
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

Declaring variables in loops (For, While, Do etc..) can have an affect on efficiency:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Declaring variables inside loops should be avoided as the variable is re-declared on each repetition.
For $i = 1 To 10 ; $i is in 'loop scope.'
Local $iInt = $i
Next
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $iInt) ; This will display 10.
</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

; Declaring variables outside of loops is more efficent in the long run.
Local $iInt = 0
For $i = 1 To 10 ; $i is in 'loop scope.'
$iInt = $i
Next
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $iInt) ; This will display 10.
</syntaxhighlight>

There is no requirement to declare the iteration count variable in a loop:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Correct
Local Const $iCount = 99
Local $aArray[$iCount]
For $i = 0 To UBound($iCount) - 1 ; $i is only used in the loop, so there is no requirement to declare it.
$aArray[$i] = $i
Next

; Incorrect
Local Const $iCount = 99
Local $aArray[$iCount]
Local $i ; This is only used to store the iteration count value in the loop and therefore doesn't need to be declared. This is known as loop scope.
For $i = 0 To UBound($iCount) - 1
$aArray[$i] = $i
Next
</syntaxhighlight>
As you can see, there is the Const keyword in the example, we are going to talk about it.

== Const, Static, Enum ==

=== Const ===
We won't talk about the advantages of a constant variable, they are neglibible (for your information, an autoit constant variable is marked as read-only and remains a variable as read-only when compiled).

The Const keyword may be used in a first by some of you to avoid re-assignments.
The best way to use them is not this last case, the constants should be used for real static variables, meaning that their value won't change regardless to the instance of the program.

Example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Not recommended
Local Const $hGUI = GUICreate("MyGUI")
; The handle of the window is unique, it's generated by Windows and changes.

; Recommended
Local Const $iMyAge = 19
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Static ===
Static variables are the solution to the global variables used in only one function.
e.g: Retain variable data once returned from a Function and only use that variable in that particular Function.
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
Example()

Func Example()
SomeFunc() ; This will display a message box of 1, 1.
SomeFunc() ; This will display a message box of 1, 2.
SomeFunc() ; This will display a message box of 1, 3.
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
; This initialises a Static variable in Local scope. When a variable is declared just in Local scope (within a Function,)
; it's destroyed when the Function ends/returns. This isn't the case for a Static variable. The variable can't be
; accessed from anywhere else in the script apart from the Function it was declared in.
Local Static $vVariableThatIsStatic = 0
Local $vVariableThatIsLocal = 0
$vVariableThatIsLocal += 1 ; This will always be 1 as it was destroyed once returned from SomeFunc.
$vVariableThatIsStatic += 1 ; This will increase by 1.
MsgBox(4096, $vVariableThatIsLocal, $vVariableThatIsStatic)
EndFunc ;==>SomeFunc
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Enum ===
This statement is often practical in certain situations:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
; Create variables in Local scope and enumerate through the variables. Default is to start from 0.
Local Enum $eCat, $eDog, $eMouse, $eHamster ; $eHamster is equal to the value 3, not 4.

; Create an array in Local scope with 4 elements.
Local $aAnimalNames[4]

; Assign each array element with the name of the respective animal. For example the name of the cat is Jasper.
$aAnimalNames[$eCat] = 'Jasper' ; $eCat is equal to 0, similar to using $aAnimalNames[0]
$aAnimalNames[$eDog] = 'Beethoven' ; $eDog is equal to 1, similar to using $aAnimalNames[1]
$aAnimalNames[$eMouse] = 'Pinky' ; $eMouse is equal to 2, similar to using $aAnimalNames[2]
$aAnimalNames[$eHamster] = 'Fidget' ; $eHamster is equal to 3, similar to using $aAnimalNames[3]

; Display the values of the array.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', '$aAnimalNames[$eCat] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eCat] & @CRLF & _
'$aAnimalNames[$eDog] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eDog] & @CRLF & _
'$aAnimalNames[$eMouse] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eMouse] & @CRLF & _
'$aAnimalNames[$eHamster] = ' & $aAnimalNames[$eHamster] & @CRLF)

; Sometimes using this approach for accessing an element is more practical than using a numerical value, due to the fact changing the index value of
; the enum constant has no affect on it's position in the array. Therefore changing the location of $eCat in the array is as simple as changing the order
; it appears in the initial declaration e.g.

; Local Enum $eDog, $eMouse, $eCat, $eHamster

; Now $eCat is the 2nd element in the array. If you were using numerical values, you would have to manually change all references of $aAnimalNames[0] to
; $aAnimalNames[2], as well as for the other elements which have now shifted.
EndFunc ;==>Example
</syntaxhighlight>

== Au3Check directive ==
As you may know (and we hope), the Au3Check tool checks your code for syntax errors, variables used without being declared etc. which is a good thing to fix your script.

With the official custom directive used to check the helpfile examples/includes, you can apply the good coding practices listed above:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7
</syntaxhighlight>

== Magic Numbers ==
Magic numbers are arbitrary numbers interspersed throughout a program's source code which do not have an associated identifier. The downside to this is not being able to derive a meaning from the number.

For example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
MsgBox(262144, "Magic Numbers", "It's Adventure Time!")
</syntaxhighlight>
In this example, the magic number is 262144 with the identifier being $MB_TOPMOST according to the helpfile.

The corrected example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "Magic Numbers", "It's Adventure Time!")
</syntaxhighlight>

Example 2:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
; Imagine you're a new user to AutoIt and you come across this code, where would you find -3, -4 or -5 in the help file?
; Since AutoIt is relatively a new concept to you, your first thought isn't to search through all the include files, I mean
; why would you, the help file is there for a reason.
Example()

Func Example()
Local $hGUI = GUICreate('')
GUICtrlCreateLabel('Why magic numbers are counter productive.', 5, 5)
GUICtrlSetState(Default, 128) ; Does this hide, show or disable it?
GUICtrlSetState(Default, 64) ; Does this hide, show or disable it?
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case -3 ; Doesn't really tell much about what it does.
ExitLoop

Case -4, -5 ; Again, no idea what these are. MouseMove? MouseClick? Restore?
MsgBox(4096, '', 'Do something when this action takes place.')

EndSwitch
WEnd

GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc ;==>Example
</syntaxhighlight>

Did you understand the numbers were these:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
Local $hGUI = GUICreate('')
GUICtrlCreateLabel('Why magic numbers are counter productive.', 5, 5)
GUICtrlSetState(Default, $GUI_DISABLE) ; Better, this is documented in the help file.
GUICtrlSetState(Default, $GUI_ENABLE) ; Better, this is documented in the help file.
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ; Better, this is documented in the help file. Ah, it's the close action.
ExitLoop

Case $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE ; Better, this is documented in the help file.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', 'Do something when this action takes place.') ; Better, this is documented in the help file.

EndSwitch
WEnd

GUIDelete($hGUI)
EndFunc ;==>Example
</syntaxhighlight>

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming) Magic number (programming)]

== Include-once directive ==
This one is designed for standard includes and UDFs, it's highly recommended to use it.

Those includes may be included in more than one script of your project because they are needed for some includes or your script itself.
In that case, the code will be duplicated which is not a good thing especially if you have (and it's mainly the case) constants declared in those files, in so far as the constants cannot be redeclared/reassigned; same thing for functions.

Put the directive in top of your UDF (library) to avoid itself to be included more than once :
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include-once
</syntaxhighlight>

History

Rt01:

This article is more than just a simply change log. It describes the history of AutoIt by travelling back in time and using all kind of source to describe how AutoIt became what it is now. Enjoy!
== History ==
'''<big>October, 1998:</big>''' Jon was working on a project to automate the installation of Windows NT 4 for a company, Jon had difficulties with installing some components which didn't take parameters from external programs, so Jon was searching for a program which could force button clicks and he found Microsoft ScriptIt but Jon found that it was extremely unreliable. 
Jon said:

''"It was notoriously fussy about the speed of the machine it was used on and had no way to control the key delays between keystrokes. Another feature that caused problems was that there was no way to specify a working directory when running a program which caused loads of problems with many of the applications I was scripting. Also, some of the functions didn't work under NT 5 beta (i.e. Windows 2000)".'' 
 

'''<big>25 December, 1998:</big>''' Jon decided to make a program (AutoIt v1) in C as a better alternative to Microsoft ScriptIt. 
 

'''<big>January, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1 was released. 
From the official v1.0 helpfile: 
:Advantages:
:* It's much smaller at 40Kb (600Kb smaller than ScriptIt).
:* It will be updated if problems are found.
:* The "Reveal" function is much better.
:* Non-active as well as active windows can be waited for.
:* Variable delays are possible (defined in milliseconds).
:* The time in between keystrokes can be altered.
:* When running an application, a working directory can be specified.
:* Will force Windows to be active under Win98/NT 5.0 (Use "WinActivate") 

:Disadvantages:
:* The "[ADLIB]" section is not implemented.
:* The script file must be formatted correctly (no white spaces allowed on lines containing a command).
:* None of the Wilson WinBatch commands are featured. (But who used them anyway?).
:* Due to the command names I've used, the scripts tend to be a little larger. 
 
'''<big>January - April, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1.8 was released with many cool features like:
* Cool /reveal mode
* Goto!
* IfWin...
* Mouse control
* ScriptIt ADLIB-like support
* Gosub
* %ENV% variable support
 

'''<big>August, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2 was released with the first version of AutoItX. 
 

'''<big>September, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2.1 was released along with first version of Aut2Exe. 
 

'''<big>22 December, 1999:</big>''' hiddensoft.com (First official site of AutoIt) was registered. 
[[File:AutoIt-History-2.png|600x400px|link=https://www.autoitscript.com/w/images/7/72/AutoIt-History-2.png|hiddensoft.com (First official site of AutoIt)]] 
 

'''<big>September, 1999 - May, 2001:</big>''' Rapid development in AutoIt with loads of additional function. 
 

'''<big>May, 2001:</big>''' The AutoIt source code was a mess and the entire source was re-written in C++. 
 

'''<big>January, 2002:</big>''' First version of Exe2Aut & AutoIt DLL was created. 
 

'''<big>December, 2002:</big>''' AutoIt v2.64 (last version of AutoIt v2) was released with new FileInstall function after writing his (Jon) own compression and archive library. 
 

'''<big>20 January, 2003:</big>''' Jon decided to start work on development framework of AutoIt v3, since AutoIt v2 had some flaws. 
Jon said: 

''"Very little development was done from 2001 to 2003. Project had reached the point where I'd lost the will to work on it. The source code was a mess again because in this sort of project you tend to add on every function that everyone wants without thinking about the future. The AutoIt v2 syntax was really horrible.'' 

''Half the requests I got were for proper loops and expressions - half of the questions were "how do I use a backslash in a Run command". Arrgh. In this time there were numerous "add-ons" like Aut2xtra created by Larry that allowed the use of some of the missing functions from AutoIt (because I hadn't the time or motivation to add them).'' 

''IIRC Larry suggested that he was frustrated with the lack of development and suggested writing a new version. I decided that if a new version was wanted then it should be more like a "proper" language. I started the development framework for AutoIt v3.'' 

''Previous versions were very strict about syntax it was "Command, param1, param2,..." and it took about a month to come up with something that could read in a line containing complex expressions (a whooooole lot of googling required). Although I "get" it now, writing the expression code in AutoIt was the 2nd hardest thing I'd ever done. (Hardest thing I've written was the compression code used in Aut2Exe that I wrote from scratch)'' 

''Most of the current devs starting helping out soon after this point. I forget when each person starting helping so hopefully they can fill in here."'' 
 

'''<big>4 March, 2003:</big>''' First (beta) version of AutoIt v3 was released. 
 

'''<big>20 August, 2003:</big>''' Started logging of AutoIt version history. 
 

'''<big>12 August, 2006:</big>''' AutoIt switched to closed source from GPL because other developers were using AutoIt source's to make a rival language as a competitor to AutoIt. 
 

'''<big>February, 2004:</big>''' First version of AutoIt v3.0.100 was released. 
 

'''<big>5 May, 2004:</big>''' AutoItScript.com was registered. 
[[File:AutoIt-History-3.png|600x400px|text-top|link=https://www.autoitscript.com/w/images/0/05/AutoIt-History-3.png|AutoItScript.com was registered.]]

== History ==
'''<big>October, 1998:</big>''' Jon was working on a project to automate the installation of Windows NT 4 for a company, Jon had difficulties with installing some components which didn't take parameters from external programs, so Jon was searching for a program which could force button clicks and he found Microsoft ScriptIt but Jon found that it was extremely unreliable. 
Jon said:

''"It was notoriously fussy about the speed of the machine it was used on and had no way to control the key delays between keystrokes. Another feature that caused problems was that there was no way to specify a working directory when running a program which caused loads of problems with many of the applications I was scripting. Also, some of the functions didn't work under NT 5 beta (i.e. Windows 2000)".'' 
 

'''<big>25 December, 1998:</big>''' Jon decided to make a program (AutoIt v1) in C as a better alternative to Microsoft ScriptIt. 
 

'''<big>January, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1 was released. 
From the official v1.0 helpfile: 
:Advantages:
:* It's much smaller at 40Kb (600Kb smaller than ScriptIt).
:* It will be updated if problems are found.
:* The "Reveal" function is much better.
:* Non-active as well as active windows can be waited for.
:* Variable delays are possible (defined in milliseconds).
:* The time in between keystrokes can be altered.
:* When running an application, a working directory can be specified.
:* Will force Windows to be active under Win98/NT 5.0 (Use "WinActivate") 

:Disadvantages:
:* The "[ADLIB]" section is not implemented.
:* The script file must be formatted correctly (no white spaces allowed on lines containing a command).
:* None of the Wilson WinBatch commands are featured. (But who used them anyway?).
:* Due to the command names I've used, the scripts tend to be a little larger. 
 
'''<big>January - April, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1.8 was released with many cool features like:
* Cool /reveal mode
* Goto!
* IfWin...
* Mouse control
* ScriptIt ADLIB-like support
* Gosub
* %ENV% variable support
 

'''<big>August, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2 was released with the first version of AutoItX. 
 

'''<big>September, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2.1 was released along with first version of Aut2Exe. 
 

'''<big>22 December, 1999:</big>''' hiddensoft.com (First official site of AutoIt) was registered. 
[[File:AutoIt-History-2.png|600x400px|link=https://www.autoitscript.com/w/images/7/72/AutoIt-History-2.png|hiddensoft.com (First official site of AutoIt)]] 
 

'''<big>September, 1999 - May, 2001:</big>''' Rapid development in AutoIt with loads of additional function. 
 

'''<big>May, 2001:</big>''' The AutoIt source code was a mess and the entire source was re-written in C++. 
 

'''<big>January, 2002:</big>''' First version of Exe2Aut & AutoIt DLL was created. 
 

'''<big>December, 2002:</big>''' AutoIt v2.64 (last version of AutoIt v2) was released with new FileInstall function after writing his (Jon) own compression and archive library. 
 

'''<big>20 January, 2003:</big>''' Jon decided to start work on development framework of AutoIt v3, since AutoIt v2 had some flaws. 
Jon said: 

''"Very little development was done from 2001 to 2003. Project had reached the point where I'd lost the will to work on it. The source code was a mess again because in this sort of project you tend to add on every function that everyone wants without thinking about the future. The AutoIt v2 syntax was really horrible.'' 

''Half the requests I got were for proper loops and expressions - half of the questions were "how do I use a backslash in a Run command". Arrgh. In this time there were numerous "add-ons" like Aut2xtra created by Larry that allowed the use of some of the missing functions from AutoIt (because I hadn't the time or motivation to add them).'' 

''IIRC Larry suggested that he was frustrated with the lack of development and suggested writing a new version. I decided that if a new version was wanted then it should be more like a "proper" language. I started the development framework for AutoIt v3.'' 

''Previous versions were very strict about syntax it was "Command, param1, param2,..." and it took about a month to come up with something that could read in a line containing complex expressions (a whooooole lot of googling required). Although I "get" it now, writing the expression code in AutoIt was the 2nd hardest thing I'd ever done. (Hardest thing I've written was the compression code used in Aut2Exe that I wrote from scratch)'' 

''Most of the current devs starting helping out soon after this point. I forget when each person starting helping so hopefully they can fill in here."'' 
 

'''<big>4 March, 2003:</big>''' First (beta) version of AutoIt v3 was released. 
 

'''<big>20 August, 2003:</big>''' Started logging of AutoIt version history. 
 

'''<big>12 August, 2006:</big>''' AutoIt switched to closed source from GPL because other developers were using AutoIt source's to make a rival language as a competitor to AutoIt. 
 

'''<big>February, 2004:</big>''' First version of AutoIt v3.0.100 was released. 
 

'''<big>5 May, 2004:</big>''' AutoItScript.com was registered.

'''<big>October, 1998:</big>''' Jon was working on a project to automate installation of Windows NT 4 for a company, Jon had difficulties with installing some components which don't take parameters from external programs, so Jon was searching for a program which can force click buttons and he found Microsoft ScriptIt but Jon found that it was extremely unreliable.... Jon said:

''"It was notoriously fussy about the speed of the machine it was used on and had no way to control the key delays between keystrokes. Another feature that caused problems was that there was no way to specify a working directory when running a program which caused loads of problems with many of the applications I was scripting. Also, some of the functions didn't work under NT 5 beta (i.e. Windows 2000)".'' 
 

'''<big>25 December, 1998:</big>''' Jon decided to make a program (AutoIt v1) in C as a better alternative to Microsoft ScriptIt. 
 

'''<big>January, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1 was released on 
 

'''<big>January - April, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v1.8 was released with many cool features like:
* Cool /reveal mode
* Goto!
* IfWin...
* Mouse control
* ScriptIt ADLIB-like support
* Gosub
* %ENV% variable support
 

'''<big>August, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2 was released with the first version of AutoItX. 
 

'''<big>September, 1999:</big>''' AutoIt v2.1 was released along with first version of Aut2Exe. 
 

'''<big>22 December, 1999:</big>''' hiddensoft.com (First official site of AutoIt) was registered. 
 

'''<big>September, 1999 - May, 2001:</big>''' Rapid development in AutoIt with loads of additional function. 
 

'''<big>May, 2001:</big>''' The AutoIt source code was a mess and the entire source was re-written in C++. 
 

'''<big>January, 2002:</big>''' First version of Exe2Aut & AutoIt DLL was created. 
 

'''<big>December, 2002:</big>''' AutoIt v2.64 (last version of AutoIt v2) was released with new FileInstall function after writing his (Jon) own compression and archive library. 
 

'''<big>20 January, 2003:</big>''' Jon decided to start work on development framework of AutoIt v3, since AutoIt v2 had some flaws..... Jon said: 

''"Very little development was done from 2001 to 2003. Project had reached the point where I'd lost the will to work on it. The source code was a mess again because in this sort of project you tend to add on every function that everyone wants without thinking about the future. The AutoIt v2 syntax was really horrible.'' 

''Half the requests I got were for proper loops and expressions - half of the questions were "how do I use a backslash in a Run command". Arrgh. In this time there were numerous "add-ons" like Aut2xtra created by Larry that allowed the use of some of the missing functions from AutoIt (because I hadn't the time or motivation to add them).'' 

''IIRC Larry suggested that he was frustrated with the lack of development and suggested writing a new version. I decided that if a new version was wanted then it should be more like a "proper" language. I started the development framework for AutoIt v3.'' 

''Previous versions were very strict about syntax it was "Command, param1, param2,..." and it took about a month to come up with something that could read in a line containing complex expressions (a whooooole lot of googling required). Although I "get" it now, writing the expression code in AutoIt was the 2nd hardest thing I'd ever done. (Hardest thing I've written was the compression code used in Aut2Exe that I wrote from scratch)'' 

''Most of the current devs starting helping out soon after this point. I forget when each person starting helping so hopefully they can fill in here."'' 
 

'''<big>4 March, 2003:</big>''' First (beta) version of AutoIt v3 was released. 
 

'''<big>20 August, 2003:</big>''' Started logging of AutoIt version history. 
 

'''<big>12 August, 2006:</big>''' AutoIt switched to closed source from GPL because Other developers were using AutoIt source's to make a rival language as a competitor to AutoIt. 
 

'''<big>February, 2004:</big>''' First version of AutoIt v3.0.100 was released. 
 

'''<big>5 May, 2004:</big>''' AutoItScript.com was registered.
