Related to "Formal request to Polyethene", I would like to collect a list of popular scripts and libraries that work under AutoHotkey classic but not under AutoHotkey_L. I won't be able to convert all of them myself :lol:, but a list is a good starting point IMO.

[*:3dq5b0ga]Forms Framework by majkinetor - partial fix by myself available
[*:3dq5b0ga]LVX by polyethene - partial fix by myself available
[*:3dq5b0ga]Tray 2.1 by majkinetor
[*:3dq5b0ga]HandyTM by SKAN
Please post other scripts that come to your mind, ideally including a link and a description of the problems (throws errors? no expected effect? unexpected side-effects?) it has.

[maul.esel]

Bump :!: Do all scripts work? That would indeed be good news. ;-)

[fragman]

The Forms framework is probably among the most popular ones. I know the gdip lib has some x64 issues.

Hello,it'd be very kind of you to convert that one:
LVX
problem: it didn't work
Thanks in advance.

[maul.esel]

Thanks for the tip, I'll add it to the list.
Question: does it throw errors or is there simply no visible effect?

[AQuestion]

I think somothing wrong with LVX_SetText(),only first character appeared in the cell after editing.

[module] Tray 2.1 by majkinetor.

I haven't tested all of the functions here, but I know that the Tray_GetTooltip(Position) does not work in unicode versions of AHK_L. The Tray_Define() function only seems to work with certain option values.

[maul.esel]

@AQuestion: I worked on it a bit. Though not yet finished, the issue you described has gone. A few more Unicode and 64bit fixes should be necessary, but I'll post a first version here:

@rbrtryn: Thanks, added to the list.

One script I liked very much is HandyTM by Skan.

I failed to port it to AHK_L yet by myself - got lost in all those DLL-calls and nifty tricks ....

Lil Builder 0.7.1 by Ahklerner, Majkinetor, Toralf and Rajat

This could have been the best GUI creator.

[maul.esel]

Updating it with _L features (like new (ActiveX-) Controls) might be a good idea, but it'll be a lot of work. If someone writes an AHK IDE one day, it's probably better to be implemented there.

Guest: Replace VarSetCapacity(lpString, length + 1) with VarSetCapacity(lpString, 2 * (length + 1)). This will work on any version. You could check A_IsUnicode, but it's probably not worth the effort.*

Reference: <!-- m -->http://l.autohotkey....#VarSetCapacity<!-- m -->

*Consider this: at most length bytes will be wasted, where length is the length of the longest menu item string. However, the entire text of each expression is kept in memory along with the tokens for each variable reference and operator, so (A_IsUnicode ? A : consumes more memory than A.
