I have made a button in AutoIT for this program we are making for work we will call it $okmystery and I want $okmystery to like to my company website. Here is a snippet of the code I have so far:
Dim $msg
GUISetState()
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
Case $msg = $okbutton
; Minimize Current Window
WinSetState( $WINTITLE, "", #SW_MINIMIZE)
While Not BitAND(WinGetState($WINTITLE, ""), 16)
sleep( 250 )
WEnd
; Take Screen Shots and Logs
ScreenShotAndLogs()
; Compress Artifacts
If FileExists( $ZIPFILEPATH ) Then FileDelete( $ZIPFILEPATH )
_Zip_Create( $ZIPFILEPATH )
_Zip_AddFolderContents( $ZIPFILEPATH, $OUTPUTROOT )
DeleteOriginals()
; Restore main window
WinSetState( $WINTITLE, "", #SW_RESTORE)
;------------ Screen Shot
Case $msg = $okshot
; Minimize Current Window
WinSetState( $WINTITLE, "", #SW_MINIMIZE)
While Not BitAND(WinGetState($WINTITLE, ""), 16)
sleep( 250 )
WEnd
ScreenShot()
; Restore main window
WinSetState( $WINTITLE, "", #SW_RESTORE)
;----------------------------------
$okmystery = ShellExecute ("basic")
Run("Http://www.IT-Networks.org")
Case Default
; Do Nothing
EndSelect
WEnd
Exit( 0 )
It looks like you need to change the "$okmystery" case statement to match the other case statements (if those are all working like they're supposed to).
You can then try to ShellExecute() the url.
Case $msg = $okmystery
ShellExecute("Http://www.IT-Networks.org")
Here's a working example of a GUI with a button that opens your company website in your default web browser:
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Global $Button_1, $msg
GUICreate("Test GUI Button")
$okmystery = GUICtrlCreateButton("okmystery Button", 10, 30, 100)
GUISetState()
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
Case $msg = $okmystery
ShellExecute("Http://www.IT-Networks.org")
EndSelect
WEnd

So I wrote this to simulate a program that would have a start and stop feature, and has a tab design. Right now there is a tab that has a RichEdit object intended to be a running log.
As you can see, after we "start" the program I put just some milliseconds of sleep to simulate running instructions. I created a function to check for requests that would be called on a larger scale randomly throughout code to ping the GUI per say.
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Global Const $h_numOfTabs = 2
Global Enum $H_TAB_1, $H_TAB_2, $H_TAB_END
Global $hGui, $h_logRichEdit, $iMsg, $h_tabs, $h_startButton, $h_stopButton
Example()
Func Example()
$hGui = GUICreate("Example (" & StringTrimRight(#ScriptName, StringLen(".exe")) & ")", 400, 550, -1, -1)
; ADD START AND STOP BUTTONS
$h_startButton = GUICtrlCreateButton( "Start", 50, 450 )
$h_stopButton = GUICtrlCreateButton( "Stop", 150, 450 )
$h_tabs = GUICtrlCreateTab( 5, 5, 390,375 )
; LOG TAB
GUICtrlCreateTabItem( "Log" )
$h_logRichEdit = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ( $hGui, "", 8, 30, 384, 347, BitOR( $ES_MULTILINE, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL, $ES_READONLY ) )
; STATS TAB
GUICtrlCreateTabItem( "Stats" )
; Close TABS
GUICtrlCreateTabItem( "" )
GUISetState( #SW_SHOW ) ; initialize the gui
While True
CheckRequests()
WEnd
EndFunc ;==>Example
Func Start()
while true
Sleep(100)
CheckRequests()
WEnd
EndFunc
Func Stop()
EndFunc
Func CheckRequests()
$iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
while $iMsg <> 0
Select
Case $iMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
_GUICtrlRichEdit_Destroy($h_logRichEdit) ; needed unless script crashes
; GUIDelete() ; is OK too
Exit
Case $iMsg = $h_tabs
Switch GUICtrlRead( $h_tabs )
Case $H_TAB_1
ControlShow( $hGui, "", $h_logRichEdit )
Case Else
ControlHide( $hGui, "", $h_logRichEdit )
EndSwitch
Case $iMsg = $h_startButton
Start()
Case $iMsg = $h_stopButton
Stop()
EndSelect
$iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
WEnd
EndFunc
At about 500ms sleep, the lag when switching tabs is visible.
My question: On a larger scale, is this how we would handle/update things that are specific to a tab while running a larger program? If not, what would be a more efficient way of updating tab specific properties while running a larger overall program.
I have also seen a design recently where all the tabs and related components were their own GUI's but I am not sure the relevance of everything being its own GUI and if it pertains to this question.
Any help or clarification is greatly appreciated, I am new to AutoIT and trying to figure out some do's and dont's as well as efficiency.

Try this example. It uses GuiRegisterMessage to capture
WM_NOTIFY Windows messages. WM_NOTIFY is not an ideal
message code for this, though have not found something
more suitable for only changing Tabs.
The code to hide and show the Rich Edit control has been
moved into the WM_NOTIFY function so that each time a
message is received, the Tab hide and show code executes.
ConsoleWrite is used to show what the events of interest
are doing during testing. If your editor has a output
console pane, then you may be able to view the writes to
the console pane.
If an event such as function Start takes a long time,
then multi-processing may help to allow the Gui to
remain responsive with the message loop.
Want a do don't, avoid (cyclic) recursive function
calls and avoid getting trapped in loops.

I used simplespy.au3 to target a slider control in the Windows settings window using _UIA_action(). Asking the user to input a value I send left and right keys for the slider to move.
But I don't know how to get the current value of my slider. I tried GUICtrlRead() but it doesn't work. How do I get the current value of a slider control?

Don't manipulate the slider. Use the WinAPI instead: _WinAPI_SetDeviceGammaRamp.
I am making AutoIt code and one of the items on the GUI needs to be updated every few seconds, and I can seem to get it to do it. To make it simple I have written some code that shows the problem:
$num = 0
GUICreate("Example")
$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel($num, 10, 10)
GUISetState()
While 1
sleep(1000)
$num = $num + "1"
WEnd
If the code was working then the number would change, but it does not. How do I make it refresh?
The number is updating, but your data is not. Plus, you are mixing integers with strings.
Luckily AutoIt converts them automatically. But take care, because you will have problems in other programming languages.
Here you go:
Local $num = 0
Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Example")
Local $Pic1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel($num, 10, 10)
GUISetState()
Local $hTimer = TimerInit()
While 1
;sleep(1000)
If TimerDiff($hTimer) > 1000 Then
$num += 1
GUICtrlSetData($Pic1, $num)
$hTimer = TimerInit()
EndIf
If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then ExitLoop
WEnd
P.S.: Avoid using sleep in these situations while they will pause your script.
This is easily done with AdLibRegister passing the function name and then 1000 milliseconds (1 second).
Local $num = 0
Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Example")
Local $Pic1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel($num, 10, 10)
Local $msg
GUISetState()
AdLibRegister("addOne", 1000)
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $msg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd
Func addOne ()
$num += 1
GUICtrlSetData($Pic1, $num)
EndFunc
You need to set the new data in the GUI using GUICtrlSetData. Simply modify your loop like this:
While 1
sleep(1000)
$num += 1
GUICtrlSetData($Pic1, $num)
WEnd
Note that I removed the double-quotes so that AutoIt handles the values as integers.
I would like to know if its possible to WinWaitActive for WindowWithThisTitle and WindowWithThatTitle at the same time. I'm executing a command and there could be a window telling me that the connection failed or a user/pass dialog coming up.
Is there another way doing it as this?
WinWaitActive("Title1", "", 5)
If(WinExists("Title1")) Then
MsgBox(0, "", "Do something")
Else
If(WinExists("Title2")) Then
MsgBox(0, "", "Do something else")
EndIf
EndIf
Because I don't want to have the timeout which could be more than 15 seconds.
A simpler solution might be to use a REGEX title in your WinWaitActive as defined here
You would then have something like this:
$hWnd = WinWaitActive("[REGEXPTITLE:(WindowWithThisTitle|WindowWithThatTitle)]")
If WinGetTitle($hWnd) = "WindowWithThisTitle" then
DoSomething()
Else
DoSomethingElse()
EndIf
How about something like this.
$stillLooking = True
While $stillLooking
$activeWindowTitle = WinGetTitle(WinActive(""))
If $activeWindowTitle == "Title1" Then
MsgBox(0, "", "Do something")
$stillLooking = False
ElseIf $activeWindowTitle == "Title2" Then
MsgBox(0, "", "Do something else")
$stillLooking = False
EndIf
sleep(5)
WEnd
Because I don't want to have the
timeout which could be more than 15
seconds.
WinWaitActive() doesn't have a timeout unless you specify one. You gave it a five second timeout but you could leave that off and it would wait forever.
You can use this Functions for two windows ..

I'm fairly new to autoit and the programming world in general and I had this same dilemma. Luckily I figured out a straight fwd way to do it:
Do
$var1 = 0
If WinGetState("Document Reference","") Then
$var1 = 1
ElseIf WinGetState("Customer Search","") Then
$var1 = 1
EndIf
Until $var1 = 1
So it'll stay in the loop until it finds the window and sets $var1 to 1. There's probably easier ways (I'm sure developers are gasping at this) but this is straight fwd enough for me.
You can create an infinite while loop with if statements in there:
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Example()
Func Example()
While 1
; Test if the window exists and display the results.
If WinExists("Windows Security") Then
Local $hWnd = WinWaitActive("Windows Security", "", 2000)
ControlSetText($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "hel233")
ControlClick("Windows Security","","[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]")
Sleep(5000)
EndIf
; Test if the window exists and display the results.
If WinExists("Spread the Word") Then
'The line below will wait until the window is active, but we don't need that
'Local $hWnd = WinWaitActive("Spread the Word", "", 2000)
WinClose("Spread the Word")
Sleep(5000)
EndIf

I use rsync to synchronize files to Windows clients in a server agnostic way. What methods are available to send the progress of rsync to the parent process for display in a gui progress bar?
I imagine two or three choices exist. (1) Watch STDOUT (2) Watch rsync.exe log file, similar to unix tail (3) Watch rsync console output in memory.
Which one is best/preferred?
For this type of tasks, I use my own AutoIt script (freeware, Windows only). The script redirects the standard output into a graphical window, displaying it with the ability to scroll back, etc (very useful in long processes like XCOPYs / PKZIPs to check if any error did happen).
I use AutoIt because it's free, very easy to use, and can compile quickly into an .EXE. I think it's an excellent alternative to a complete programming language for this type of tasks. The downside is that it's for Windows only.

.NET has a pretty straight forward way to read and watch STDOUT.
I guess this would be the cleanest way, since it is not dependent on any external files, just the path to rsync. I would not be too surprised if there is a wrapper library out there either. If not, write and open source it :)
I've built my own simple object for this, I get a lot of reuse out of it, I can wrap it with a cmdline, web page, webservice, write output to a file, etc---
The commented items contain some rsync examples--
what I'd like to do sometime is embed rsync (and cygwin) into a resource & make a single .net executable out of it--
Here you go:
