AutoHotkey Community

Mmm, I corrected the problem before seeing your last message, I had to destroy the window (and just in case, unload the Gif) before freeing the DLL.
Well, I leave the code as an example.
And I changed the function names...
Upload will follow soon.

Still not good. You can't expect that your include will be the only one in the script. Its autorun section in many real time scenarios will never be executed.

But thx for the effort

If user blindly includes a file ending the autorun section before including my file:
1) He is looking for trouble;
2) The include file isn't well designed.

OK, I might add AniGif_InitLibrary() and AniGif_FreeLibrary() functions, although I am a bit reluctant to set global variables in a function. Having better encapsulation would be indeed needed...

Well, include file is not include if I have to change it and look what I have to move. Imagine I want to use 5 your wrappers in my script. I will lost an hour fixing garbage around instead to just use the control. Plus, if I do that, you will undo my work in next version of your script.

If you just think about it, and stop complaining, you will clearly see I am not the witch.

In this case, control is having small number of messages, they all can be put as statics in appropriate functions. The drawback is that user will not have global styles/msgs available for included functionalities but that is the same as with AHK internal controls. The good side is invisibility to the outer world.

Init() function is as such more desirable. Doing it in Add/CreateControl function is probably the best choice in which case only Add/CreateControl stays without globals:



Something I scream about all the time, without any success.

Great work. I've added it to the documentation for picture controls:

Thanks.
I have made it now totally function wrapped, and the DLL is automatically loaded once, on first control creation. Styles specific to AniGif are given as strings and internally converted.
majkinetor, the problem isn't that your ideas are not good, it is in the way they are presented...
There is still the demo code at the end, clearly delimited and easily removable. I find it easier to test this way, having only one file: less clutter.
Oh, and the hyperlink works now, one have to remember to set this style at creation time.

U are not the n00b, what do you expect, to draw it for you ?


You still don't get it, but continue the same story.


I know its easier. For U. Contrary to that, entire comunity have to stick with bad thing for eternity. Now, if you adopt some rules, we can all live in peace, happily ever after.

RULE 1 (transparency)
User never have to look the source code of your include. Everything he needs to know should be documented externaly or in file header.

RULE 2 (invariant to environment)
Where the user includes your code must not be important. Is it top or bottom or middle, you don't care

RULE 3 (no garbage)
Test/Sample code must be separated from control. I don't need to include presentation garbage in my code, nor I wish to remove it every time I download a new version of your code.

RULE 4 - X (encapsulation)
Rules for code creation. 99% of your code I touched isn't encapsulated. You provide little scripts, that must be maintained before usage. I will create tutorial about good encapsulation when stdlib gets implemented (or sooner, if someone desires) but you are mature enough to most of that yourself


Some great ideas are left to die. For instance, your dumpdwords function was very useful, but I needed to read your docu carefuly (10 mins), examine your code to see what parameters to pass (10 mins), find your dependencies (5 min), check if all that source have garbage, like your above wrapper (??? min), and do that each time you release a new version. Now, if you download my wrapper, HexView, u don't need to do anything. Download wrapper (1 min) , put #include HexView.ahk wherever you want, and just use the thing. When I release new version, you overwrite your old include and live happilly ever after. Is that too much to ask ? There is no difference in developing speed, once U adopt this scenario.

Second, why must we re-code every thing when stdlib gets implemented ? U know now from our conversations in Devel forum, what kind of functionalities will be there in stdlib. So you must know that if you create good wrapper now, it can be used like that in StdLib or only with minor changes. As I see it now, smb responsible for stdlib will have to re-read, and re-code your entire wrapper.

Why do I talk this to U ? Perhaps you just want to relax and post code like you wish and don't care.

I tell you this because you are one of the few top posting members on this forum and your help and experiance are invaluable. If you don't show an example nobody will. Its time to understand your "responsiblities".

Or you can continue in relaxed manner and spread disorganisation around.

@majkinetor - last I checked participation (of any kind) here is voluntary...

@PhiLho - Thanks . The demo script didn't load the files automatically and gave a few "Error loading file" messages but ran fine after downloading the files.

It shows...

@majkinetor: Everything here is voluntary. Though I agree some sort of standardisation would be good, pushing your own opinion on how this should look like unto others, and doing it rudely, will not help reaching such a goal.

And, like they say in German:

Der Ton macht die Musik (It's not what you say, but how you say it).

Argh, you ppl just talk and talk and talk... and do nothing.

Like I said, warez sites today , are better organised and more mature then this community. You should all be shame of yourselves, instad you chose to talk over and over... .I know this is voluntier job, what do you think, I am stupid ?.

Little kids can find "common language" more succesiffuly then we here.

And, like they say in Sebian:
You can't fuk without taking it

Anyway, I was talking lot of times nice, but it didn't help, so your theory about "its how you say it" is totaly wrong in this case.

I wouldn't agree, maybe you should try a bit more patience, it's a virtue...

Again: I agree with your intentions, but I too get annoyed with your tone.

Well, it's mutual. I get anoyed by disorganisation and constant theorysing about every stupid little thing, like this one. Its normal thing for more ppl doing the same thing to have some standards, entire community has huge benefits. Its not normal otherwise. My arogance has nothing to do with it. Most ppl around deserve it as they behave like they are on the picknick.

You act like spoiled kids. Smb gives you an chocholate and you say "You must say please, and I will maybe take it".

I was patient. Now its time for action. I know you don't like it. Its in human nature, and you are, after all, only humans.


Perhaps you should work more on supporting me instead moking how rude I am. Or we can continue with this useless conversation.
