To be honest @Baraoic, I don't see the problem or at least it's not a big one. In VS Code is the behavior the same, except the fact that the correct variable $aDirs is the first suggested item. When you type more characters, the list will decrease and that's a common behavior like for other languages (and VSCode). So in my personaly experience it's not distracted at all, but that's me of course. Best regards Sven

Interesting, thank you @ioa747 👌 . This could bring a large opportunity to AutoIt in cases of working witz the web (html, js etc.). I will also have a look after the christmas days. I would also be interested in the .Net (C#) bridge that you build. Maybe you provide the code also in the zip file? Or separately? In any case, thanks and enjoy the upcoming days with your beloved ones. Best regards Sven

Hi @MoriceGrene, what you describe can be handled by a simply file or INI file. Instead of copy/send your single string of the button, you simply write the string in a file and your other program watches the file for changes. If modified, read the string out of the file and your done. Of course, this is not very elegant or cannot be scaled very well, but for your described use case totally enough out of my perspective. Then a input box is also not necessary anymore. Read the string from file - no input box. ------ Another way could be the usage of the clipboard. Copy the button name string into the clipboard. Maybe with a identifier prefix for a better distinction between what is actually the button name versus other content in the clipboard. Then watch the clipboard content ... basically the some way like described above. ------ More mature ways would be Pipes, yes. Or other Client-Server variants. Best regards Sven

Thank you all so far for your feedback 🤝 . Best regards Sven

Thank you @argumentum. More than understandable, thanks. No thanks, I don't need to know that much detail. But it's interesting nonetheless. Best regards Sven

Hi folks 👋 , just out of curiosity: I'm interested in which DBMS database management systems you use. Whether privately or professionally, which ones do you work with? If you like, you can also write a little context about it (area of application, etc.). But as always, it's not a must. I'm not interested in what you've tried, but rather what you use "frequently" or are at least somehow familiar with. ==> Thank you for participating and have a nice day ✌️ . Best regards, Sven

Hi @avs , I try to summarize: you compile a AutoIt script via Azure DevOps CI pipeline. These means one or two of the pipeline yaml steps contain your Powershell actions, am I right? You could run this locally (or on a maschine which is not hosted on Azure) and in case you run the pipeline on the Windows Agents maschine, it fails. Right? The part with the necessary GUI is a bit strange for my understanding. I believe this shouldn't be matter in any case. What ever, I suggest to have a look on GitHub workflows that compiling (build) the executable. Because this should work very similar to your variant on Azure DevOps. I cannot reproduce it, because I rather not use AutoIt much often anymore nor I can access Azure DevOps since I switched to GitLab (and/or GitHub), but I know these should be feasable without any interactive GUI present. Here are two examples that could be helpful. The repositories are from @WildByDesign who did a good job regarding the yaml files as far as I can see. https://github.com/WildByDesign/ImmersiveUX/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml https://github.com/WildByDesign/WDACTrayTool/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yaml @avs I would also be interested to know why you want to do this in that specific way? Maybe you describe your goal even more, than the answers will hopefully also more precise 🤝 . Best regards Sven

I am sure @AspirinJunkie can help you much more than I can do. I don't have the time to get into the AutoIt code right now or in the next hours, sorry. I start by providing your json string in the spoiler block, to let others have a better look into the JSON structure. I hope this will help a tiny bit 🤞 (other folks here). Maybe I can have a look tomorrow, but I don't think so - very busy (stressful time) at the moment. Update: Let use know how your target structure should look like. Maybe you can show a small result string/table/csv whatever, of your keys (values) to be get extracted, to get a better view, thanks. Best regards Sven

Hi folks, hi @WildByDesign 👋 , I really appreciate your effort regarding the compatibility 😊 . But let me also mention that you shouldn't try to respect to much AutoIt versions in the backwards compatibility direction. People should (as I obviously too), update software from time to time. In my case I don't use AutoIt regularly anymore and I saw the changelog of the new AutoIt version (when 3.3.18.0 was released) and I didn't want to adjust several of my older projects to apply with these changes. Anyway, this is my problem not yours. Of course it would be fine if there is a backwards compatibility, but not down to 3.3.12.* or so (in my opinion). I try to give you feedback today or tomorrow 🤝 . Best regards Sven

Hi and thank you a lot @WildByDesign for that great work 👌 . I started to have a look at your code and realized it's probably made for the current AutoIt version v3.3.18.0 and not for v3.3.16.1, am I right? I mean you already mentioned the absolute latest beta version of AutoIt3Wrapper.au3, but there are more incompatibilities between the AutoIt versions itself. _IsPressed() has changed from two to three args $CP_UTF8 is unknown in v3.3.16.1 If you simply say: "just update to the new AutoIt version", I am totally fine. But in case there shouldn't be such incompatibilities, this would be easily fixable I guess. Best regards Sven

I am on my smartphone, without any coding possibilities right now, but why do you want to go with WD_COMMAND? You could also try using AdLibRegister to register a function that constantly checks for slider value updates (simple polling). I guess in a GUI each 250ms is totally enough to check and trigger the label change (hint text etc.). Just another approach which is easily implemented in my point of view. Besides that @WildByDesign , best regards as usually, Sven 😀 .

Unfortunately, I cannot answer in detail right now, but there are answers and explanations to your questions @jpm. The current version of the extension has a bug regarding output. Keyboard shortcuts, just like in the SciTE layout, are all customizable. The file encoding (codepage) can be set (reset) to display the @ sign correctly. This could happen, if you wrote your script in SciTE and use it now in VSCode. Once reset to UTF-8, it should be displayed correctly in both editors. I am on vacation at the moment. When I am back, I can provide several screenshots for all the questions 🤝 . Best regards Sven

Hi @Trong 👋 , thank you for sharing your UDF. I didn't tried your examples (and UDF) yet, but I will. Can you please explain a bit more what makes this UDF "high-performance"? No offence in any way, but I don't get it. Pressing a key or multiple keys is already applied few times in the community and already fast. Did you do a compariison between your approach and the already existing ones? I'm just curious 😀 . Regarding the set of functions that you provide I can say I like it. I personally would not use much of them, but it can be helpful for some other people - thank you. Best regards Sven

Thank you for the great clarification and explanation. This helped me a lot to understand the intention and purpose 🤝 . Well done and best regards Sven

Hi @ioa747 👋 , my pleasure to see your script and your creativitly like often. Thanks for sharing. To be honest, I am not sure I understand your approach and goal correctly. Let's assume I have such html, xml ... markdown file with links in it. Usually you can request such URLs like you describe and all is fine. But what conclusion would you aim for, when you get a 401 or a 403 as status code? In case you have URLs with a basic authentication or a OAuth2 authentification mechanism, you expect such status codes. In your general assumption this would be a failure or declared as unreachable or something like that. I mean, if I understand the approach correctly, I like it, but in terms of analyzation it lakes of context for the specific URL. I don't see any use case where I can truly rely on the analysis. That's my problem. The implementation and logic are well done, but for what? I hope you understand what I mean 😅 ? Best regards Sven
