History

TheDcoder: /* History */

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

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

'''<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.

UDF-spec

2015-12-01T12:37:25Z

TheDcoder: /* Index */

[[Category:UDF]]
{{WIP}}This page is still under construction.

----

A library is a collection of one or more User Defined Functions (UDFs). However, the term UDF is often used to describe the collection as a whole. If a UDF is to be considered for inclusion in the standard set distributed with AutoIt then it must meet all the criteria detailed here, but it's also good practice to always write in conformance with at least the majority of this document, as that is what will be expected by people reading your code later.

== Basic Requirements ==
Firstly, the code itself should meet the following basic requirements:

* Be tidied. Just hit <code>Ctrl+T</code> from SciTE or run Tidy manually. The only flag needed is <code>/sf</code>.
* Pass Au3Check with no errors using the strictest settings: <code>-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7</code>
* Support everything AutoIt supports. In some cases features may not be able to support everything, in which case this should be checked for and return errors appropriately. This applies to: windows OS versions (AutoIt has support for all OS' from windows 2000), unicode and ansi strings, 64 and 32 bit machines.
* Not use any magic numbers. Ever. None. At all. No excuses.

== UDF Outline ==
The library itself has a header that details important information such as the minimum OS and AutoIt versions, and what system dlls are required. There is also a number of other sections that are required that list what is present in the UDF.

=== Includes ===
Since a UDF is designed to define functions, it should only be included once. As a result, the <code>#include-once</code> directive should be used. This is typically the first line of the UDF, followed by the includes used by the UDF. Include statements should use the double quoted form, as the library is expected to work in the same directory as libraries it depends on. Non standard libraries can be used if necessary, but this should be documented and linked to so users can download it as well. It goes without saying that a UDF based on non-standard UDFs cannot itself become a standard.

=== Index ===
The index follows the following template (taken from <code>WinAPI.au3</code>):

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #INDEX# =======================================================================================================================
; Title .........: Windows API
; AutoIt Version : 3.2
; Description ...: Windows API calls that have been translated to AutoIt functions.
; Author(s) .....: Paul Campbell (PaulIA), gafrost, Siao, Zedna, arcker, Prog@ndy, PsaltyDS, Raik, jpm
; Dll ...........: kernel32.dll, user32.dll, gdi32.dll, comdlg32.dll, shell32.dll, ole32.dll, winspool.drv
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

The only required element in the index header is <code>Title</code>. All others are ignored by the processor, but should be included for reference, remember that you can add some custom fields like <code>Links</code> too.

The <code>Dll</code> field can remain empty in many cases where no dlls are called directly. This header must be defined.

=== Other Sections ===
Other sections, in order of appearance, are as follows.

==== Variables ====
All global variables needed to be declared in the UDF are defined in this section. They should follow the variable rules for globals. Individual variables do not need to be documented, as it is assumed they are for internal use only. Any globals designed to be accessible for the user should instead be wrapped by a function (or multiple functions if globals must be retrieved and set). The template for this section is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #VARIABLES# ===================================================================================================================
Global $__g_vMyGlobal = 0
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

If no globals are needed then this section may be ommitted. Please consider the use of global variables carefully, and read through the section on global variables.

==== Constants ====
Any global constant values are defined in this section. This should be constants only designated for use within the library itself. Constants that may be needed by the user should be defined in a separate file, named <code>UDFConstants.au3</code> where <code>UDF</code> is the name of the parent file. For example <code>File.au3</code> uses constants defined in <code>FileConstants.au3</code>. The exception to that rule is control UDFs which miss out the prepended 'GUI' when naming constant files, so <code>GUIButton.au3</code> uses constants from <code>ButtonConstants.au3</code>. The template for this section is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #CONSTANTS# ===================================================================================================================
Global Const $__MYUDFCONSTANT_FOOBAR = 42
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

If no constants are needed in this section, either because none are used or because they are stored in a separate file, then it may be ommitted. Please read the section on global constants for specific info on naming and definition of constants.

==== Listing ====
This defines all functions and structures currently used in the library. It MUST be the second defined header item after [[#Index]]. It is a simple list with each function on a line where the functions and structures appear in the same order as they do in the code, which is alphabetical order and structures first. A simple way to generate this list is to create a small script that searches for function definitions and outputs them in the correct format, an example of which is [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/120820-function-name-lister/ here]. In addition there is a second section that lists functions and structures for internal use only, this does not need to appear if none are defined.

The template for these sections are:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #CURRENT# =====================================================================================================================
;$tagSTRUCT
;_MyUDF_Function
; ===============================================================================================================================

; #INTERNAL_USE_ONLY# ===========================================================================================================
;$tagINTERNALSTRUCT
;__MyUDF_InternalFunction
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

This section still needs to be defined for files that only define constants. It should also be noted that there MUST NOT be a space between the <code>;</code> and the function/structure name.

==== Undocumented Listing ====
There is a final kind of listing that lists functions for which no documentation exists, or they have been deprecated and are only included for backwards compatibility. These are listed in a section with the header <code>NO_DOC_FUNCTION</code>. This is very rarely used, and is reserved only for functions that can be utilised by the user, or that would have been in the past, as opposed to those for internal use only.

Template:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #NO_DOC_FUNCTION# =============================================================================================================
;_MyUDF_Function
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

==== Renamed Functions ====
Although it should not be the case in new UDFs, many of the older ones (particularly to do with controls) have had script breaking name changes to functions. These are documented in the UDF to ensure updating old scripts is as easy as possible. The basic format for this is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #NO_DOC_FUNCTION# =============================================================================================================
;_MyUDF_OldFunction ; --> _MyUDF_NewFunction
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

The space padding is optional. This section is ignored as far as the docs are concerned, and is usually omitted.

== Functions ==
=== Naming ===
Function names must start with an underscore, and the first word is the library name. There is then usually another underscore before the rest of the function name. The library name should be consistent across all the functions in the library, and can be shortened if a logical abbreviation is available (e.g. <code>Window</code> ==> <code>Win</code>). Each word should be capitalized, but no underscores are placed in the rest of the name, for example <code>_WinAPI_GetWindowLong</code>.

For control libraries, the first part of the function name is changed slightly. For example the UDF for listviews would use <code>_GUICtrlListview_*</code>. When a function wraps a dll call, then the second part should closely resemble the function name as it appears in other languages. This also applies to functions acting as a wrapper to <code>SendMessage</code>.

Functions are defined in alphabetical order by name, which is the same as using <code>Tidy</code> with the <code>/sf</code> flag set.

=== Parameters ===
Parameters should follow the variable naming scheme ([[#Naming_2|here]]). All parameters must be checked to ensure they are valid, and return unique and documented error codes if they are not. For functions involving a specific type of control, this includes checking the class name using <code>_WinAPI_IsClassName</code>.

Parameters that are optional or byref should be documented as such, and the effect these have explicitly stated. For example a byref parameter should detail exactly what the expected output is as well as the input.

=== Headers ===
All functions have a documentation header that describes the function. This uses the following template:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name...........: _WinAPI_GetMousePos
; Description ...: Returns the current mouse position
; Syntax.........: _WinAPI_GetMousePos([$bToClient = False[, $hWnd = 0]])
; Parameters ....: $bToClient - If True, the coordinates will be converted to client coordinates
; $hWnd - Window handle used to convert coordinates if $fToClient is True
; Return values .: Success - $tagPOINT structure with current mouse position
; Failure - 0
; Author ........: Paul Campbell (PaulIA)
; Modified.......:
; Remarks .......: This function takes into account the current MouseCoordMode setting when obtaining the mouse position. It
; will also convert screen to client coordinates based on the parameters passed.
; Related .......: $tagPOINT, _WinAPI_GetMousePosX, _WinAPI_GetMousePosY
; Link ..........:
; Example .......: Yes
; ===============================================================================================================================
Func _WinAPI_GetMousePos($bToClient = False, $hWnd = 0)</syntaxhighlight>

The header is 129 characters wide, and any text within it should be wrapped to that length. For example the <code>Remarks</code> in the above header has been extended to cover two lines. The exception to that rule is the <code>Syntax</code> line, which should not be wrapped. Some of the parameters in the header are optional, in which case they should remain, but be left empty (for example the <code>Link</code> and <code>Modified</code> lines in the above header). In others, they are needed, but can be empty or not used such as <code>Parameters</code> or <code>Return Values</code>. In this case the value should be 'None', as they will still be present in the documentation.

There are some flags that can be used within function headers:

* '''+''' in column 20 is the continuation flag for the previous line (used in Parameters, Return Values)
* '''|''' in column 20 is a new line in the right side of the table when the help file is generated (used in Parameters, Return Values)
* '''-''' in column 20 will create new row in the table, used for things like Defaults for a style (used in Parameters, Return Values)
* '''+''' in column 2 of Remarks is a blank line
Name
:Specifies the name of the function. This will be identical to how it appeas in the Func statement in the code itself.
Description
:Gives a short summary of what the function does. This should only be a single line, as it is only designed to give a short impression of what is happening. For the standard set of includes distributed with AutoIt3, this value is also used in the SciTE calltips.
Syntax
:Describes the syntax of the function call. This differs slightly from what appears in the code itself for optional parameters, which are enclosed in square brackets ("[ ]"). Since subsequent parameters must also be optional, and cannot be defined unless all the previous ones have been given, these brackets are nested in the form: Function([param1[, param2[,param3]]]). Note that the opening bracket appears before the comma seperator.
Parameters
:This is a list of the arguments accepted by the function. Each is listed, followed by a dash ("-") and a description of what it is. The dash can be padded for neatness, although the amount of padding depends on how long the parameter names are. If the parameter is optional then the meaning of the default value should be given, similarly if it's used to pass data back to the program in the form of byref then the changes made should also be detailed. For more information on parameters see Parameters.
Return values
:Details what is returned by the function. This often comes in the form of Success and Failure values, but this is not always the case. Any setting of the @error of @extended flags should be detailed, along with their meanings, in some cases it is enough to say that @error is set to non-zero in the event of an error, in most cases though a list of values for @error should be given.
Author
:This is the original writer of the function. It should contain the username, so that any queries about the code can be made through the forum, but you can give as much or little information as you feel appropriate.
Modified
:This is a list of modifications made. At it's most basic this is just a list of users who have made changes, but ideally it includes some information about what they did, in which cases it follows the same form as other multi-value lines, with the username and description of modifications seperated by a dash.
Remarks
:This is anything the user should know about a function in order to use it. For example exceptional cases and recommended ways to handle the function should all be detailed here, as well as additional info about possible reasons for failure and how to deal with them.
Related
:A comma seperated list of functions or structures related to the function.
Link
:A link to additional information about the function. For many system function wrappers, this will be <code>@@MsdnLink@@ FunctionName</code>, which represents that the user should search MSDN for the function.
Example
:A simple yes or no value specifying whether the function has an example. If this is no then your UDF is not ready to be released. The [[#Examples]] section has more information on the format and location of examples.

The easiest way to generate the header is to copy and paste the following blank template in:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name...........:
; Description ...:
; Syntax.........:
; Parameters ....:
; Return values .:
; Author ........:
; Modified.......:
; Remarks .......:
; Related .......:
; Link ..........:
; Example .......:
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

There are also a number of plugins for SciTE that will generate a header and maybe fill in certain known values for you such as Name, Syntax and Parameters. The most complete one that conforms to these standards is [http://code.google.com/p/m-a-t/wiki/UDFHeaderGenerator here], but there are two others [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/28270-lua-script-for-udf-header/ here] and [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/28270-lua-script-for-udf-header/page__view__findpost__p__200823 here].

=== Internal use only ===
Functions can also be marked for use only within the library and not to be documented for use by the user. These are named according to the same rules as normal functions but begin with a double underscore ("__"). The header is exactly the same except with the first line replaced, to make the blank template:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #INTERNAL_USE_ONLY# ===========================================================================================================
; Name...........:
; Description ...:
; Syntax.........:
; Parameters ....:
; Return values .:
; Author ........:
; Modified.......:
; Remarks .......:
; Related .......:
; Link ..........:
; Example .......:
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

== Structures ==
Structures are defined as global constants, and follow the naming pattern <code>$tagSTRUCTNAME</code>. The struct name should be as it appears on MSDN if it's used in the windows API, or follow a similar pattern if not. It should go without saying that they must work for both 32 and 64 bit machines, including resolving any alignment issues. Elements should also be named as they appear on MSDN if they are taken from there, which includes the hungarian notation prefix. Although many standard UDFs do not follow that rule, importantly <code>StructureConstants.au3</code>, the rule still stands.

=== Headers ===
Structures need a header similar to functions, but with some minor differences. The same rules apply in terms of wrapping and line length however. The header follow this standard template:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #STRUCTURE# ===================================================================================================================
; Name...........: $tagPOINT
; Description ...: Defines the x and y coordinates of a point
; Fields ........: X - Specifies the x-coordinate of the point
; Y - Specifies the y-coordinate of the point
; Author ........: Paul Campbell (PaulIA)
; Remarks .......:
; Related .......:
; ===============================================================================================================================
Global Const $tagPOINT = "long X;long Y"</syntaxhighlight>

It is essentially a shortened header, with the only thing new is the Fields line, which effectively replaces the Parameters field in terms of usage. All the same rules apply as listed [[#Function Header Fields|here]].

The blank template is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #STRUCTURE# ===================================================================================================================
; Name...........:
; Description ...:
; Fields ........:
; Author ........:
; Remarks .......:
; Related .......:
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

Structures may also be marked for internal use only. In this case the header ramains the same, but the sections first line changes. The blank template is:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">; #INTERNAL_USE_ONLY# ===========================================================================================================
; Name...........:
; Description ...:
; Fields ........:
; Author ........:
; Remarks .......:
; Related .......:
; ===============================================================================================================================</syntaxhighlight>

== Variables ==
For code readability, there are special rules dealing with variables, particularly naming. All variables should be declared at the beginning of their scope, which usually means at the start of the function in which they are used, but could mean the top of the UDF itself in the [[#Variables|Variables section]].

=== Naming ===
A variable's first letter signifies the expected scope and type of the variable. See [[Best_coding_practices#Names_of_Variables|Names of Variables]]

=== Globals ===
The use of globals in a UDF is generally frowned upon, and byref parameters and static variables should be used where possible instead. However, in cases where this is not possible and a global must be used they should be defined using the following naming pattern: <code>$__g_<VARNAME></code> where <code><VARNAME></code> is the name as it would usually appear according to the variable naming rules above. This ensures there will never be a conflict with user variables of other UDF globals. They should be declared at the top of the UDF in the Variables section.

Globals are always private. If they need to be accessed by the user then functions need to be written wrapping that operation and values should be checked. Notable exceptions are debug variables, which are designed for developer purposes and may be used by some users in extreme cases. These are named <code>$Debug_<UDF></code> although the <code><UDF></code> part is often shortened so <code>GUIEdit.au3</code> uses <code>$Debug_Ed</code>. It is not required that a UDF has debugging symbols, but they are allowed to remain in releases.

=== Constants ===
There are two types of constants, internal and public. Public constants are designed to be utilised by the user, and are referenced in functions that use them. They include styles and flags. Internal constants are designed for use only within the library, so that values used fairly often can be held in one place to allow for easy updating. Both kinds of constant are always typed in all upper case. Constants taken from the windows API should appear exactly as they are defined there, but internal constants follow the naming pattern: <code>$__<UDF>CONSTANT_<NAME></code>.

=== The <code>Dim</code> statement ===
Should not be used.

== Examples ==
All functions and structures that are made public to the user need to have a good quality example. This means that it should:

* Be simple. Ideally the only functions used are basic functions like ConsoleWrite and MsgBox and the function that the example is written for. Writing a single example that covers a wide range of functions is not nearly as easy to use as writing an example per function that clearly demonstrates its use.
* Be readable. Everything should be explained step by step in comments.
* Be correct. In addition to passing the same Au3Check flags as the UDF itself (<code>-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7</code>) it should always be written with best practice being the main consideration. This takes preference over the first point, just because code is shorter and looks easier doesn't mean it's right.
* Examples should represent all the functionality. If there is more than one way of using a function then include more than one example of how to use it.
* Not make any permanent changes to the users computer. For example, if demonstrating a File function, be sure to delete the file after it has been used. The same applies for any function that makes a change to the environment: the changes MUST be undone.

Always remember, the readability of code in an example is MORE important than the readability of code inside the UDF itself.

Examples are stored in script files called <code><FUNCTION>.au3</code>. The files should be kept in a folder called <code>Examples</code>. To remain correct all examples should be wrapped in functions, such that the only code executed in the global scope is calling the function. This is usually named <code>Example</code>.

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">#include <Constants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Example()

Func Example()
Local $idButton_Run, $idButton_Test, $iMsg, $hGUI_MyApp

$hGUI_MyApp = GUICreate("My GUI Button") ; Will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$idButton_Run = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run Notepad", 4, 4, 80, 30)
$idButton_Test = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button Test", 4, 38, 80, 30)

GUISetState() ; will display a dialog box with 2 button

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

$iMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Run("Notepad.exe") ; Will Run/Open Notepad
Case $iMsg = $idButton_Test
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Testing", "Button 2 was pressed") ; Will demonstrate Button 2 being pressed
EndSelect
WEnd
GUIDelete($hGUI_MyApp)
EndFunc ;==>Example</syntaxhighlight>

=== Multiple Examples ===
The helpfile now supports multiple examples per function. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with any other tools that use examples, the first file is still named <code><FUNCTION>.au3</code>, but any additional examples are named <code><FUNCTION>[n].au3</code> where n is an integer counter starting at 2.

== Template UDF ==
Here is an example of a UDF called <code>MyUDF.au3</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7

Decompiling FAQ

2015-11-06T10:01:11Z

TheDcoder: /* Is there a 3rd-party decompiler? */

Below are frequently asked questions about decompiling AutoIt scripts.

__TOC__

== Is there a decompiler available? ==
Yes, sort of. The official decompiler will only decompile scripts compiled with AutoIt v3.2.5.1 and earlier. Any script compiled with a version later than that will not decompile.

== Where can I find the decompiler? ==
The decompiler is located at ''C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Extras\Exe2Aut\Exe2Aut.exe'' by default. The directory may be different if you performed a custom installation. The developers may remove the decompiler from the installation package at any time without prior notice.

== What if I need to decompile a script compiled with a newer version of AutoIt? ==
You are mostly out of luck. Take the opportunity to learn how to properly back up your important files. The developers can decompile scripts but you must be prepared to prove you own the script. This is not done very often and the developers reserve the right to say no for any reason.

== Is there a 3rd-party decompiler? ==
Yes. There is software in existence which can decompile all versions of AutoIt. This software is in direct violation of the AutoIt license agreement. Creation or '''use''' of such software may be a violation of the law depending on your local laws. '''DO NOT USE IT.
'''

== What happens if I use the 3rd-party decompiler? ==
If you mention you have used a 3rd-party decompiler you will be permanently blocked from the forum and issue tracker. You may be blocked for any of the following:
* Admitting you have decompiled your own script with a 3rd-party decompiler.
* Admitting you have decompiled another user's script with a 3rd-party decompiler.
* Posting any script that has been decompiled by a 3rd-party decompiler.
This includes decompiling scripts users have posted in binary-only form. Under no circumstances are scripts to be decompiled unless the author grants their explicit permission and the script can be decompiled with the official decompiler.

== Are my compiled scripts safe? ==
No. Any unscrupulous user may decompile your compiled script. There is not much you can do to stop decompilation. A determined user will get your source code if they truly want it.

== I designed a counter-measure to break the 3rd-party decompiler, may I share it? ==
No. It is theoretically possible to modify compiled scripts in a way that it still works but a decompiler fails to extract the source. However, tools that are capable of doing this violate the reverse engineering clause of the AutoIt license (the very same clause the 3rd-party decompiler violates).

== Where in the AutoIt license does it mention decompilation? ==
This clause:
:Reverse engineering. You may not reverse engineer or disassemble the SOFTWARE PRODUCT or compiled scripts that were created with the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
That clause covers both reverse engineering how AutoIt works (in order to create a working decompiler or a counter-measure to decompiling) as well as decompilation of compiled scripts.

Best coding practices

2015-09-21T07:53:17Z

TheDcoder: /* Names of Variables */

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__

== Using Functions ==
If a function sets the @error flag, you should always check it before using a return value - if @error indicates an error then the function return value is generally undefined.

Learn more about using Functions by reading "[https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/function_notes.htm Function Notes]" from HelpFile.

== Names of Variables ==
The variable naming convention used in AutoIt is based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_notation 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")
|-
| 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 || Constant variable || Local Const $eEulersConstant = 2.7182818284590452
|}

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 || $o, $s, $v
|-
| False (or True) || $b
|}

 
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 and manage in a future, 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 ==
Variables should also be 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 $g_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 $g_iSomeVar2.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $g_iSomeVar2: " & $g_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 $g_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 $g_iVar1.
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Value of $g_iVar1: " & $g_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 $g_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, "", $g_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, $g_vVariableThatIsGlobal) ; The Global variable ($g_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 $g_vVariableThatIsGlobal = ""

For $i = 1 To 10
$g_vVariableThatIsGlobal &= $i ; This will return 12345678910 totally wiping the previous contents of $g_vVariableThatIsGlobal.
Next
Return $g_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 $g_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 $g_vVariableThatIsGlobal = 'This is a variable that has ''File Scope'' aka Global.'
SomeFunc()
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $g_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 $g_vVariableThatIsGlobal being initialised and therefore AutoIt has no idea of what data the variable
; $g_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 $g_vVariableThatIsGlobal = 'This is a variable that has ''File Scope'' aka Global.'
SomeFunc()
EndFunc ;==>Example

Func SomeFunc()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, '', $g_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()

== 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 :

TheDcoder: Removed Poland Forums, Redirects to prono site

In order to receive support and share your own scripts you may sign up for one or more of the forums.

= Official Forums =

The official forum is a very good place to get help and share scripts.
It has a lot of members and is often praised for its quick and professional help and support.
One of the advantages of AutoIt over other, more global, languages - is the concentrated community.
There you are posting alongside the developers of the code, so chances are they know what they're talking about!

[http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php AutoIt Forums]

== Searching the Forums ==

The AutoIt forum allows for users to form powerful search queries which is a boon to any AutoIt user.
If the answer to a question is not found in the [[Documentation|help file]] then a search of the forum is in order.
Before you post a question it is always better to search the forums first to see if your question has been answered before.
There are two common ways to search the forum:

* [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?act=Search AutoItScript Forum Search]

* [http://www.google.com Google]

The [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?autocom=downloads file downloads] section of the site can also be searched.

=== Using Google ===

The forum search engine is very powerful, but if you find that you need more power you could try [http://www.google.com Google]
Google cannot be used to search the Chat forum.

Enter into Google:

site:www.autoitscript.com/forum/ your search query.

If you are an advanced user then try:

(site:*.autoitscript.com | site:msdn.microsoft.com) tutorial howto

Note: Spaces around | is important.

And finally a slightly different search:

filetype:pdf autoit

== Code of Conduct ==

Before you post a question or start a new script, it is always better to search the forums first to see if your question has been answered before or to see if you can find a similar script shared by someone else.
Please think about asking '''the right question''' and asking '''the question right!'''
Do not make posts discussing the automation of games in any manner for any reason.
They will not be answered. Persistence will most likely result in a swift and permanent ban.

These are must read topics before posting anything:

* [http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14632 Keylogger Rules]

Setting Styles

2015-05-27T17:00:15Z

TheDcoder: Typo "Gtrl" to "Ctrl"

[[Category:Tutorials]]
=Introduction=

Setting styles and extended styles in an integral part of coding in AutoIt - but it is very easy to get something other than the result you wanted if you do not take care when specifying them!

Note: Although the text and examples in this tutorial deal with styles, everything here is also applicable to extended styles.

=Multiple Styles=

Most styles are set at the bit level - they require specific bits within the total style value to be set in order for the specific style to be activated. This is why you should always use ''BitOR'' rather than simple addition when setting multiple styles to make sure you do not inadvertently set/unset bits you do not mean to! Let us look a why this might happen - but if you do not understand binary maths, you might want to go and read about that first!

Let us imagine we want to set two styles which have the values seventeen and thirty_three (these values have been chosen just for illustration and are not valid styles). Expressing the two styles in binary gives us:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
$Style_1 = 17 ; 17 in binary is 00010001
$Style_2 = 33 ; 33 in binary is 00100001
</syntaxhighlight>
Now let us see what happens when we try and combine the two styles:

Using ''BitOR'' (which sets bits if either or both bits are set) we get:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
BitOR($Style_1, $Style_2) ; --> 00110001
</syntaxhighlight>
However, if we use ''simple addition'', we get:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
17 + 33 = 50 ; --> 00110010
</syntaxhighlight>
Windows uses a form of ''BitAND'' to check for styles which means that it looks for specific bits within the larger number. So if Windows is checking for $Style1, it looks for bits four and eight. In the ''BitOr'' result, these bits are set - and Windows will apply the style. The same is true for $Style2 - this time bits three and eight are set in both the style and the combined result. However, if we try the same tests against the result obtained by simple addition, we see that in neither case does Windows find the correct bits set. So Windows will apply neither style to our control - and will probably apply some other completely different styles instead. So, always use ''BitOR'' to set multiple styles. Remember that you can combine several styles within a single ''BitOr''.

=Adding and Removing Styles=

Most AutoIt controls have default styles - look in the <''Appendix - GUI Control Styles''> section of the Help file to see what they are. For example, a List control is created with the ''$LBS_SORT, $WS_BORDER'', and ''$WS_VSCROLL'' styles set automatically. As you can see from the <''List Styles''> section of the above Help file page, these have been conveniently combined as the ''$GUI_SS_DEFAULT_LIST'' style and similar values are available for all the usual controls. However, there is no need to specify any of these default styles in the initial ''GUICtrlCreate*'' statement as they are automatically included as previously mentioned. Where users often have difficulty is when they want to add further styles to a control. Whenever you specify a particular style (or multiple styles using ''BitOR'' as explained above) you ''overwrite'' the existing style value and set ''only'' the value you have just specified.

Here is an example of this overwriting using ListViews.

- The first default ListView is automatically created with the ''$LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS'' and ''$LVS_SINGLESEL'' styles.

- If we want to sort the items, we need to set the ''$LVS_SORTASCENDING/DESCENDING'' style. So we do this for the second ListView - but as we only specify the ''$LVS_SORTASCENDING'' style we '''overwrite''' the default styles.

- The final ListView shows how to add the ''$LVS_SORTASCENDING'' style correctly by using the ''BitOR'' operator on the default setting '''AND''' the new style.

If you play with the ListViews, you will see that although the middle ListView is indeed sorted, it now permits multiple selections and does not show the selected items when it does not have focus - because it no longer has the ''$LVS_SINGLESEL'' and ''$LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS '' styles. The bottom ListView is sorted and has retained the default styles - which is want we wanted.
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListviewConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 600)

$hLV_Default = GUICtrlCreateListView("Header", 10, 10, 480, 180)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xC4C4C4)
$hLV_Sorted = GUICtrlCreateListView("Header", 10, 200, 480, 180, $LVS_SORTASCENDING)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xC4C4C4)
$hLV_Default_Sorted = GUICtrlCreateListView("Header", 10, 400, 480, 180, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_LISTVIEW, $LVS_SORTASCENDING))
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xC4C4C4)

For $i = 1 To 8
$iItem = Random(0, 9, 1)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($iItem, $hLV_Default)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($iItem, $hLV_Sorted)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($iItem, $hLV_Default_Sorted)
Next

GUISetState()

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd
</syntaxhighlight>
Things can get a little more complicated if we created the control with a non-standard style set and want to change it. How do we find out what styles are currently set? You may have noticed that there is no ''GUICtrl'''Get'''Style'' to match the ''GUICtrl'''Set'''Style'' command.

As it is you who are setting the styles in your own script, a good tip is to keep the current value in a variable which you can then easily modify. But we can also get the current style values by calling the Windows API directly:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <Constants.au3> ; Do not forget these include files!
#include <WinAPI.au3>

$iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle($iControlID), $GWL_STYLE)
$iExStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle($iControlID), $GWL_EXSTYLE)
</syntaxhighlight>
Once you have the current value then you can easily add or subtract other styles from it.

Adding a new style is simple - we just use ''BitOR'' as we have already seen:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
GUICtrlSetStyle($iControlID, BitOR($iOldStyleValue, $iNewStyle))
</syntaxhighlight>
Subtracting a style can be done in two ways - although one is much easier to use:
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
GUICtrlSetStyle($iControlID, BitXOR($iOldStyleValue, $iStyleToRemove))

GUICtrlSetStyle($iControlID, BitAnd($iOldStyleValue, BitNOT($iStyleToRemove)))
</syntaxhighlight>
You can see that we are using ''Bit*'' operators again. Explaining exactly how they affect the values we give as parameters is beyond the scope of this tutorial, but they all operate in a similar manner to the ''BitOR/BitAND'' case we looked at when combining styles earlier.

Finally, here is a script which shows these various operators and API calls in action. You can see that the Edit control style value changes between 0x50331'''0'''C4 and 0x50331'''8'''C4 depending on whether the ''$ES_READONLY'' syle is included - and you can check that the style is applied/removed by attempting to change the Edit content.
<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

$iCount = 1
$sBut_Add = "Press to add ReadOnly style"
$sBut_Sub = "Press to remove ReadOnly style"
$sEdit_Text = "You can edit me if you wish"
$sRead_Text = "But you can only read me"

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 160)

$hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit($sEdit_Text, 10, 10, 480, 100)
$hEdit_Handle = GUICtrlGetHandle(-1)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton($sBut_Add, 150, 120, 200, 30)

GUISetState()

; Read default values
$iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hEdit_Handle, $GWL_STYLE)
MsgBox(0, "Initial Style", "Style = " & "Ox" & Hex($iStyle, 8))

While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
Case $hButton
Switch $iCount
Case 1
; Use BitOR to ADD style
GUICtrlSetStyle($hEdit, BitOr($iStyle, $ES_READONLY))
$iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hEdit_Handle, $GWL_STYLE)
$iCount += 1
MsgBox(0, "ReadOnly Added", "Style = " & "Ox" & Hex($iStyle, 8))
GUICtrlSetData($hButton, $sBut_Sub)
GUICtrlSetData($hEdit, $sRead_Text)
Case 2
; Read the current style
$iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hEdit_Handle, $GWL_STYLE)
; Use BitXOR to SUBTRACT style
GUICtrlSetStyle($hEdit, BitXOR($iStyle, $ES_READONLY))
; Read the new style
$iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hEdit_Handle, $GWL_STYLE)
$iCount += 1
MsgBox(0, "ReadOnly Removed", "Style = " & "Ox" & Hex($iStyle, 8))
GUICtrlSetData($hButton, $sBut_Add)
GUICtrlSetData($hEdit, $sEdit_Text)
Case 3
; Read the current style
$iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hEdit_Handle, $GWL_STYLE)
; Use BitOR to ADD style
GUICtrlSetStyle($hEdit, BitOr($iStyle, $ES_READONLY))
; Read the new style
$iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hEdit_Handle, $GWL_STYLE)
$iCount += 1
GUICtrlSetData($hButton, "")
MsgBox(0, "ReadOnly Added", "Style = " & "Ox" & Hex($iStyle, 8))
GUICtrlSetData($hButton, $sBut_Sub)
GUICtrlSetData($hEdit, $sRead_Text)
Case 4
; Read the current style
$iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hEdit_Handle, $GWL_STYLE)
; Use BitAnd and BitNOT to SUBTRACT style
GUICtrlSetStyle($hEdit, BitAnd($iStyle, BitNOT($ES_READONLY)))
; Read the new style
$iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hEdit_Handle, $GWL_STYLE)
$iCount += 1
MsgBox(0, "ReadOnly Removed", "Style = " & "Ox" & Hex($iStyle, 8))
GUICtrlSetData($hButton, "Exit")
GUICtrlSetData($hEdit, $sEdit_Text)
Case 5
Exit
EndSwitch
EndSwitch
WEnd
</syntaxhighlight>

=Summary=

Setting styles is not difficult, but does require you to combine multiple styles correctly using ''BitOR''. And if you want to add or subtract styles for an existing control you need to remember to take the existing styles into account or you will not end up with the final result you wanted.

History

TheDcoder: /* Sources */

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.

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:

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)".''
