I am new to autohotkey. I tried your example 2 code and I get Call to non-existent function error message. I do not understand calling a function.

I created a GUI and would like to allow the user to change the color. Does this code below display windows color dialog box then return the color code in a variable called pcolor or color? Does it return hex or RGB code?

Here is your example 2 code.

;create gui and set text color

CmnDlg_Font( font := "Courier New", style := "s16 bold italic", color:=0xFF)

Gui Font, %Style% c%Color%, %Font%
Gui, Add, Text, ,Hello world.....
Gui, Show, Autosize
return

First, please use "code" and "/code" tags when posting code to the forum.

I was able to see your common dialogs function work, thanks to your last reply.

thanks very much

v4.04

I just started to try to use the Open and Save functions and ran into problems.

The Save function doesn't generate a dialog at all. There appears to be extra junk in the first parameter. Should be an easy fix.

I'm having trouble using the "Filters" parameter. For example, I'm using "*.txt|*.ini" as the filter. The dialog is displayed with filters in place but no files are displayed if either filter is selected.

Thanks for your help.

I checked it. Works OK, but you wrongly used filter. I put example on the first page. Check it out.

For instance:

v4.10

The new version appears to include a number of undocumented new features/methods. For example: The callback labels to the Find and Replace functions must now be to functions instead of subroutines. Without making these changes, the developers calls to the Find and Replace functions will just stop working.

You might want to rollback the new version until the updated documentation is ready.

Them be my thoughts...

rollback not sound progressive.

posting additional older version may make more sense (if that is an issue).

Ah, yes, sorry about that. I totaly forgot to note aboout those changes.
However it was available in documentation all the time. Perhaps you need to reload manual page. It shows that label is changed with function.

There will be no version keeping for this project.

I am using CmnDlg for the color dialog box. Why do I only get black custom colors on the color dialog box that pops up, instead of the rainbow of colors the windows color dialog box gives?

thanks

I have only just joint the AHK forum and been using AHK for a month now but the wealth of support, examples and information on this forum has helped me use AHK from being a novice.
Now onto the feedback.
I need to choose a file to save some information to while in my script and thanks to majkinetor cmndlg module it did the trick except I have found the following problems and have (in my basic way) corrected them in my version of the the cmndlg_save2 script.

Firstly if the user typed in a filename and extention the function would return a file with two extentions
Secondly the function some how changes the A_WorkingDir - this took me ages to discover why my main script did not work when I included the cmndlg_save so I now temp store the workingDir and set it back at the end

If these findings are of any help perhaps they could be more elegantly coded in majkinetor master function.
