Clever!

.. and I was using your BSwap mcode like this:

First of all, Thanks Laszlo for providing machine code world to ahk.
although i had 0% knowledge of machine code i'd like to try it.
currently i'm trying to make ID3 tag extractor() using mcode. (bin2hex)
it was successful but i want it to run by 100% mcode powered
will there be any chance to get mcode for Hex2Chr()? or even Bin2Chr()

Thanks in advance !

I would also very much like to see that function, and please if someone does could I see the source code as well

What should these functions exactly do? E.g., should Hex2Chr ignore any non-printable characters from a hex stream, and provide an AHK string as the result? If you know that all characters are printable, Hex2Bin does the same. You only have to update the variable's internally-stored length to the length of its current contents with VarSetCapacity(Bin,-1). If you want to stop at the first NUL, the above VarSetCapacity call will set the length correctly, after you copied a long enough chunk of the data.

You might be better served with DllCall("RtlMoveMemory"… or a string copy function of the C runtime library: msvcrt, to avoid the hex conversion intermediate step.

For example i got this hexes from the mp3 file

and i used below loop for Hex2Chr

i'd like to make whole processes to be proceed by MCode for speed.
and i know that it can be accomplished without MCode but for learning purpose
does it make clear? However thanks for quick answer.

The Hex2Bin function does it:

Cool! i never knew that i already have enough functions to do so.
i'm gonna decode your code.

Thanks for sharing your experience, knowledge, skills as always!

Hello, I am following along this thread, and wondering -- has it been proven to somehow load a DLL from memory?

I don't know if it was done with AHK, but Lexikos pointed to a C solution (a mini loader) http://www.joachim-bauch.de/tutorials/load_dll_memory.html/en.

Quite interesting at that link ....I wonder if it is possible, or anyone attempted yet to translate this concept to AHK with any kind of success? Seen any work in that direction? It is certainly way beyond my skill level there, ... but I think it would be a very interesting way to manage script dependency resources.

It would be very useful to translate this to AHK.
The actuall C moudle is only 400 code lines and it shouldn't be very hard to translate it to AHK by the person who knows what is doing.
The good thing is that module is well tested as its used in py2exe.

The problem is that this task is lengthy and errorpone as bunch of large structures are used. Lexikos struct parser would be very helpfull. Few C macros need to be translated to, but generally, it isn't hard to translate this code even without understanding at all what is it about.

Hi!

I remember having used machine code without really knowing how it worked, to control the mouse pointer in my early QBasic programs.
I haven't taken time to try to understand how it really works, however, I wondered if there was a way to lock mouse cursor in a defined zone of the screen (really lock it, not getting cursor back into the zone, with a Timer, when it goes out), using machine code.
Any idea?

Thanks in advance !

Ok, thank you, I will see that.

Edit :
Amazing ! It's exactly what I need.
