Dear Titan, 
| You wrote: | This version seems to work: | Code: | MsgBox % Connected()
Connected(fl = 0x40) {
Return, DllCall("Wininet.dll\InternetGetConnectedState", "UInt *", fl, "UInt", 0)
} |
However the flags seem to be ignored which is quite strange. |
 Yes! This version works for me.. I am too confused!
Regards,

WOW Goyyah! I'm one of the ones guilty  of not often visiting the other forum so I am just now seeing these, or have missed them somehow anyway, until now. I have noted many excellent and useful posts from you here already though.
I can be very slow but I am looking forward a great deal to trying some of these and hope to make use of them. Thank You for your generous contributions!

You've probably missed them and only seen the last page since the topic name keeps changing...
@Goyyah: I guess you decided against cleaning up this mess?  |

Absolutely Amazing Goyyah!
You continue to amaze me with your Tips and Tricks. I like how in your little snippet editor you used at least 3 of your tricks. Really shows how powerful and useful they can be. Keep up the good work! I am eagerly waiting for the next installment!

I understand.. For some time this topic was under forum section: Utilities & Resources and Mr.Chris decided to move it here so that this topic will receive due attention.

Thanks for the kind words! I was feeling low for sometime.

Well, im pretty lazy on some abspects of coding. And one of those would be the kind of thing like figuring out how to dynamically write a BMP. No way i would even try. But you did. And its so useful! See my SysInfo 3.0 script.
Also i would never be able to find some of those post message or things you've found, for refreshing things or making a GUI drag itself. So you help me be lazy! Thanks Goyyah!
(I also like how you have you tricks and tips as your signature! Its pretty useful as some times i will be reading a different topic and then see your sig)

@Goyyah: Please don't misunderstand. I don't want to see you go. I appreciate the useful tips and tricks that you post. The only reason I asked is because I am interested in contributing to the discussions... |

No! Not at all..
You are a nice Friend
I do not remember why I posted that way! Maybe I was feeling dejected that day.
It is just that I want to slow down, and be very selective.
I have already opened an another nick.

| Quote: | How to Animate a GUI Window ?
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=65596#65596
AnimateWindow() : The Wrapper for User32.dll\AnimateWindow function.
| Code: | AnimateWindow(hWnd,Duration,Flag) {
Return DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",hWnd,"Int",Duration,"UInt",Flag)
} |
AnimateWindow() requires three parameters :
- Handle to the GUI Window
- Duration of the Animation (in milliseconds)
- Animation flag which may be any (or proper combination) of the following :
| Code: | /*
Note: Following integers have to be converted to Hex
before passing as a parameter to AnimateWindow
1 = Left to Right
2 = Right to Left
4 = Top to Bottom
8 = Bottom to Top
16 = Center
65536 = Hide
131072 = Show
262144 = Slide
524288 = Fade
*/ |
How to Fade-In / Fade-Out a GUI ? How To Fade In Fade Out a GUI ?
Copy / Paste / Try example: | Code: | FADE := 524288
SHOW := 131072
HIDE := 65536
FADE_SHOW := FADE+SHOW
FADE_HIDE := FADE+HIDE
;Converting the above to Hexdecimal value
SetFormat, Integer, Hex
FADE_SHOW+=0 ; Converts to 0xa0000
FADE_HIDE+=0 ; Converts to 0x90000
SetFormat, Integer, d
Duration = 500 ; Duration of Animation in milliseconds
Gui, Margin, 0,0
Gui +LastFound
GUI_ID:=WinExist() ; Handle to the GUI
Gui,Show,w400 h300 Hide, Animated Window ( Fade-In / Fade-Out )
AnimateWindow(GUI_ID, Duration, FADE_SHOW)
Return
GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
AnimateWindow(GUI_ID, Duration, FADE_HIDE)
ExitApp
Return
AnimateWindow(hWnd,Duration,Flag) {
Return DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",hWnd,"Int",Duration,"UInt",Flag)
} |
Optimised version of above code: | Code: | Gui, Margin, 0,0
Gui +LastFound
GUI_ID:=WinExist()
Gui,Show,w400 h300 Hide, Animated Window ( Fade-In / Fade-Out )
DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",GUI_ID,"Int",500,"UInt","0xa0000")
Return
GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
DllCall("AnimateWindow","UInt",GUI_ID,"Int",500,"UInt","0x90000")
ExitApp
Return |
We can modify the wrapper's DllCall to be:
DllCall("AnimateWindow", "UInt", hWnd, "Int", Duration, "Int", Flag)
so that we do not have to convert integers into hexdecimal values.
BUT!.. For reasons unknown to me, many transitions are not smooth (or noticeably jittery!) for me.
Please try both and use what suits you.
In case you need one, here is a simple Integer to Hexadecimal convertor
I made for myself to understand this stuff! I calculated the following effects:
| Code: | ROLL_LEFT_TO_RIGHT = 0x20001
ROLL_RIGHT_TO_LEFT = 0x20002
ROLL_TOP_TO_BOTTOM = 0x20004
ROLL_BOTTOM_TO_TOP = 0x20008
ROLL_DIAG_TL_TO_BR = 0x20005
ROLL_DIAG_TR_TO_BL = 0x20006
ROLL_DIAG_BL_TO_TR = 0x20009
ROLL_DIAG_BR_TO_TL = 0x2000a
SLIDE_LEFT_TO_RIGHT= 0x40001
SLIDE_RIGHT_TO_LEFT= 0x40002
SLIDE_TOP_TO_BOTTOM= 0x40004
SLIDE_BOTTOM_TO_TOP= 0x40008
SLIDE_DIAG_TL_TO_BR= 0x40005
SLIDE_DIAG_TR_TO_BL= 0x40006
SLIDE_DIAG_BL_TO_TR= 0x40009
SLIDE_DIAG_BR_TO_TL= 0x40010
ZOOM_IN = 0x16
ZOOM_OUT = 0x10010
FADE_IN = 0xa0000
FADE_OUT = 0x90000 |
Visit the following post to download & try SlideShow.exe which extensively and effectively
uses the AnimateWindow function:

AutoHotkey is a free, open-source utility for Windows.
With it, you can:
Automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse
clicks. You can write macros by hand or use the macro recorder.
Create hotkeys for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Virtually any
key, button, or combination can become a hotkey.
Expand abbreviations as you type them. For example, typing "btw"
can automatically produce "by the way".
Create custom data entry forms, user interfaces, and menu bars.
Remap keys and buttons on your keyboard, joystick, and mouse.
Respond to signals from hand-held remote controls via the WinLIRC
client script.
Run existing AutoIt v2 scripts and enhance them with new capabilities.
Convert any script into an EXE file that can be run on computers
that don't have AutoHotkey installed.

| As to jerky transition in AnimateWindow, MSDN says that it is possible when "Shadows under menus" are enabled in Display effects options. Also "Drag full windows" may interfere I think |

Very nice effects! Thanks!

Since at dll calls AHK passes on integers in binary form, there should be no difference. In my laptop I have not seen any, as expected. Are you sure, there was no other change? You don't need many of your quotation marks, either. | Code: | Gui +LastFound
WinGet GUI_ID, ID
Gui Show, w400 h300 Hide, Animated Window
DllCall("AnimateWindow",UInt,GUI_ID,UInt,750,UInt,0xa0000)
Return
GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
DllCall("AnimateWindow",UInt,GUI_ID,UInt,750,UInt,0x90000)

You are right! The jiterring was due to processor load by other running programs. Thank you.

It has become a habit ... I will change it .
Thanks again for posting.
