I see. Regarding
WinExist(), I guess I would need to store the current "LastFound window" first then restore it back before returning. Otherwise the function might interfere with the user's script functionality, in rare cases. Another thing, which is more efficient, passing
ahk_id %Hwnd% or omitting all the window parameters to take advantage of the "LastFound window" feature? The docs says that the script performs better with the latter..

An alternative would be to have a more general function for extracting resources, and require the script to use the "upcoming" resource directives, but I suppose then you'd need to repeat the resource name/path.
I see. For now I'll just retain the
FileCopy behavior and wait for Ahk2Exe's progress.
lexikos wrote:MinParams is 0 because WinTitle and WinText can be omitted, as in MenuSelect(,, "File", "Open"), which operates on the Last Found Window. That you can't omit the third parameter is only one of many requirements that are enforced at load time for specific commands, but not for the corresponding function (including MenuSelect()). Some checks are only done at load time, and only for args which are not variables/expressions.
Thanks for the confirmation. I'd have to review some of the functions. I think I might have overlooked some aside from
MenuSelect().
lexikos wrote:InputBox in v2 validates its options. There's probably not much need to duplicate the behaviour to that extent, but in this case we can simplify (or at least shorten
) your code and gain validation at the same time. Instead of a parsing loop, we can use a single regex:
Code: Select all
Options := "x0 y0 w100 h100 T10.0 Password*"
Valid := RegExMatch(Options, "i)^\s*(?:(?:X(?<X>\S*)|Y(?<Y>\S*)|W(?<W>\S*)|H(?<H>\S*)|T(?<T>\S*)|(?<P>Password\S?))\s*)*$", _)
ListVars
Pause
I think this is consistent with what v2-alpha accepts. Of course, InputBox in v1 still doesn't support
Password* and you would need to use
% _P ? "HIDE" : "" for the HIDE parameter.
Thanks, applied your suggestion in this
commit. I modified your pattern a little bit to clone v2's strict validation. Added error handling as well for invalid options.
