[AutoIt] Some Simple Script Examples - ReaperX - 11-14-2011

Im Learning to use AutoIt Fairly Quickly. In the Process of Learning i Create some Example Scripts. These Are Basic and Use Very Little Code. Except the GUI. xD

- A Mouse Move Example. On Launch, You Enter the Coordinates of the Location to Move the Mouse to on the Desktop. (Uses InputBox as Well)

Code:
$x = InputBox("Move Mouse", "Enter X Value to Move Mouse to.")
$y = InputBox("Move Mouse", "Enter Y Value to Move Mouse to.")

MouseMove($x ,$y, 20)

- Protected Notepad. This is Another Example of Using InputBox And A Variable to Check that the Correct Password Was Entered before Opening Notepad.

Code:
$guess = InputBox("Open Notepad", "Enter the Correct Password to Open Notepad. A Wrong Password Will Exit This Application.", "", "*")
if $guess = "edit" Then
	Run("notepad.exe")
Else
	Exit
	EndIf

- A Sample GUI. It Doesnt Really Do Anything. It Just Uses 3 Radio Buttons and You Choose One to Change the GUI BG Color to.

Code:
include <GUIConstants.au3>

MainGUI()

Func MainGUI()

	GUICreate("ReaperX's Test GUI")
	$file = GUICtrlCreateMenu("File")
	$file_notepad = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open Notepad", $file)
	$file_computer = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open My Computer", $file)
	$file_exit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $file)
	$actions = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Actions")
	$actions_txt_file = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open Text File", $actions)
	$actions_calc = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open Calculator", $actions)
	$help = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Help")
	$help_about = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("About", $help)
	$tab_set = GUICtrlCreateTab(110, 100, 135, 150)
	$tab_1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Change BG")
	$bg_red_radio = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Red", 115, 125)
	$bg_green_radio = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Green", 115, 145)
	$bg_yellow_radio = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Yellow", 115, 165)
	$tab_2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("AutoIt Info")

	GUISetState()

	While 1

		$msg = GUIGetMsg()

		If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

		If $msg = $file_notepad Then
			 $file = Run("notepad.exe")
		 EndIf
		if $msg = $file_computer Then
			 $file = Run("explorer.exe")
		 EndIf
		If $msg = $file_exit Then
			 Exit
		 EndIf
		If $msg = $actions_txt_file Then
	        $txt_file_1 = FileOpenDialog("Choose a Text File to Open...", @DesktopDir, "Text Files(*.txt)")
			FileOpen($txt_file_1)
		 EndIf
		If $msg = $actions_calc Then
			Run("calc.exe")
		 EndIf
		If $msg = $help_about Then
			$help = MsgBox(0, "About", "This Test GUI Was Created by ReaperX")
		EndIf

		Select
		Case $msg = $bg_red_radio
			GUISetBkColor(0xED1C24)
		Case $msg = $bg_green_radio
			GUISetBkColor(0x22B14C)
		Case $msg = $bg_yellow_radio
			GUISetBkColor(0xFFF200)
			EndSelect
	WEnd
EndFunc

- A Color Select Example. Brings up a Color Pallette in the GUI and You Use it To Select a Color to Change the BG of the GUI to.

Code:
#Include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <Misc.au3>

GUICreate("Choose Color")

$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Choose Color", 150, 150)
$iReturnType = 2

GUISetState()

While 1
	$msg = GUIGetMsg()
	if $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
		Select
		Case $msg = $button
			$color = _ChooseColor($iReturnType)
			GUISetBkColor($color)
		EndSelect
		WEnd

- Create a Shortcut. Opens a Dialog and You Choose a File to Create a Shortcut of. You Also Name it.

Code:
$message = "Find a File to Create a Shortcut Of."

$file = FileOpenDialog($message, @WindowsDir & "\", "All Files(*.*)",0)
$name = InputBox("Shortcut Name", "Enter the Desired Name of the Shortcut.")

If @error Then
	MsgBox(0, "Error!", "No File Was Chosen")
	Exit
	EndIf

ProgressOn("Creating Shortcut", "Progress", "0%")
for $i = 1 to 100 step 100
	sleep(1000)
	ProgressSet($i, "Creating...", "Progress")
Next
ProgressSet(100, "Created!", "Complete")
Sleep(500)
ProgressOff()
$shortcut = FileCreateShortcut($file, $name)
MsgBox(0, "Success!", "Shortcut Created In Directory Of File.")

I dont Know if these Will help, But Here you Go.

Nice! Seems people are starting to like autoit... Smile

Edit: Why did you provide a download link instead of just copying the code in code tags?

RE: [AutoIt] Some Simple Script Examples - ReaperX - 11-15-2011

Idk. Ill Do that Next Time. Wink

The protected notepad code could easily be edited to apply to a different application/file correct? you would have to edit all ocurrences of the word notepad to fit the desired one and it should work the same if im not mistaken?

Woah didn't realize how powerful autoit could be, I downloaded it a few days ago but I haven't really looked at it, I'll give it another go later today
