Replace AU3_Spy.exe with script Topic is solved
Re: Replace AU3_Spy.exe with script
the AU3 spy that used to be distributed with ahk is not what is in use today. the window spy is a clone written as a script to do the same things. AU3_spy that was origionally distributed is not Window Spy. but they look the same so its an obvious source for confusion

Re: Replace AU3_Spy.exe with script

but no one was talking about the original anyway
no. i asked Lexikos where i can find the source for his, since obviously he's making changes to it. i couldn't find it in the AHKL github repotank wrote:perhaps this is what your asking about

Re: Replace AU3_Spy.exe with script
I flipped bits at random until it worked.
You can extract it from the executable, mostly. I think this is the only modification, but it seems that I neglected to add this file to source control.
I have been meaning to tidy up the installer source (which includes this script) and my build/release scripts and put them on GitHub, but... it's not very interesting. As part of that, I may change AutoHotkey's "Window Spy" menu item to run an uncompiled script.

Re: Replace AU3_Spy.exe with script
I've uploaded the AutoHotkey release script and installer source code, including the source code for Active Window Info (aka Window Spy).

Re: Replace AU3_Spy.exe with script
Hello lexikos,
I've looked at the source of Active Window Info again, because it still has problems if the active window is an editor like PSPad with some large files shown in different tabs. Do you think it makes sense to read the controls text with a maximum length of WINDOW_TEXT_SIZE := 32767 to show it in such a small edit control?

Re: Replace AU3_Spy.exe with script
Shouldn't we change the file name to something else, like AHK_Spy.exe? AU3 compatibility with AHK died ages ago

Re: Replace AU3_Spy.exe with script
AutoHotkey never had "AU3 compatibility". It was called that by the author of the original Window Spy.
Re: Replace AU3_Spy.exe with script
alright it was v2 not v3 but older installations of AutoIt used to ship with a file called AU3_Spy.exe, and currently that's the extension AutoIt scripts use, so that's where the author took it from, I believelexikos wrote:AutoHotkey never had "AU3 compatibility".
