Thanks for sharing.
The registry won't reflect changes in the method you've used.
Not sure if that is a problem, though.

Thank you for this function. Can you comment on the second parameter ( hWnd )? It seems unnecessary to me. Hi iPhilip hWnd is a very common variable name and instead of declaring it local, i'm saving one line by specifying it as a parameter. It could/should've be done as follows: DesktopIcons(Show:...

the "encoding(?)" question would be interesting to be answered. The data you're extracting is meant to be shown in Windows/File explorer. Windows is available in many languages and (for eg.) in Arabic/Urdu the text needs to aligned right-to-left in explorer. The data might begin with unicode char U...

@SKAN If you run the function and immediately access the clipboard e.g. sClip := Clipboard AutoHotkey will crash on Error: GlobalLock. It seems the function does not complete with the clipboard being accessible. :( Thanks for reporting this. 👍 Allocated (Global) memory for CF_UNICODETEXT shouldn't ...

How can the function be refactored into v2 syntax? I tried without success :crazy: The following seems to work fine for me: RandomPW(L:=10) { ; AutoHotkey V2 version.

I extract dates and get e.g. this value "14.04.2015 14:25".

Extract date from what? Photo?
If it is a photo, I suggest you to use the canonical form System.Photo.DateTaken

PS: I'm sorry for the late reply.

@SKAN It seems to be a bug. When I use the fade-out effect, the pic control always has a background color. I want it to be transparent.   Hi tuzi I'm sorry for the late reply. This is not a bug but a limitation. Semitransparent pixels shouldn't be rendered more than once.. and hence background colo...

I mention this, because people that use the LCC compiler might get themselves caught up in some tricky issues, so it's something to be aware of. Thanks very much for the valuable info. :thumbup: I use Pelles C which was based on LCC, so didn't bother to read license properly. My mistake. :( Regardi...

Thank you @SKAN Again I came here to ask my very novice questions.   You are most welcome :)   Can I execute with mcode on a computer that is not lcc-win64? Of course, yes. You need to use LCC() only to test/generate mcode. LCC() will generate either x86 or x64 mcode depending on the autohotkey 1.1...

Note: This function requires lcc-win64 to be installed. Refer homepage of lcc-win . A NOTE of caution from SOTE regarding LCC license : Read LCC( CCode, Switches, ByRef MCodeAsHex, ByRef MCodeAsBase64 ) Compiles C code and returns a function pointer that can be used with DllCall() The function will ...

@william_ahk, try this code. There's apparently a carriage return in the stdout from 'echo'. #Include RunCmd.ahk str1 := RunCMD(A_ComSpec .

I would do it as follows: #NoEnv #Warn #SingleInstance, Force F1::DesktopIcons() DesktopIcons(Show:=-1, hWnd:=0) { ; By SKAN on D35D @ tiny.cc/desktopicons If ! hWnd := DllCall("GetWindow", "Ptr",WinExist("ahk_class Progman"), "UInt",5, "Ptr") hWnd := DllCall("GetWindow", "Ptr",WinExist("ahk_class W...

Hi Xtra I don't try any code that isn't #Warn aware, so my comments are based on little understanding of your code. Requires Gdip bitmap as input. Bitmap should be 32 bpp, I suppose.

@SKAN i did this a few months back and just posted it here:

Hi @Xtra,
Thanks for sharing your Gdip_GrayScale().
This topic deals with GDI bitmap, So I will comment on your topic instead.

You're right about the nearest neighbor. I didn't notice at first, but it doesn't seem to be true greyscale.   It is a true grayscale. You don't see any colors in it. :D   I can see topological rings of grey in the blurred background of the butterfly picture that aren't present in the photoshop equ...

Hi Skan,

Could you please re-upload?

Sure!

it's pretty rare, I wonder why! Actually, it didn't appeal to me when Sean used to do it like DllCall(...) ? DllCall(...), DllCall(...DllCall(...)), DllCall(...) : DllCall(...), DllCall(...) that too without any enclosing parenthesis. I was using this feature only with Return statement of a functio...

@ SKAN : I copy-pasted one your lines where you in turn used my "Extended parameters", if I'm not wrong. Not really. Sean was using it a decade ago. I recently started using it, of course before you. :P IIUC, this feature is available from AutoHotkey v1.0.46 - November 29, 2006 when "multiple varia...

@SKAN, thanks as always for another great contribution. Working fine for me on Win7 SP1 64-bit.

I miss Win7 badly. Unable to install it in my newly assembled AMD Ryzen HTPC
