AutoIT Help part 88 doc

0 = default menu items Script Paused/Exit are appended to the usercreated menu; usercreated checked items will automatically unchecked; if you double click the tray icon then the control

SendAttachMode

Specifies if AutoIt attaches input threads when using Send() function When not attaching (default mode=0) detecting the state of capslock/scrolllock and numlock can

be unreliable under NT4 However, when you specify attach mode=1 the Send("{ down/up}") syntax will not work and there may be problems with sending keys to

"hung" windows ControlSend() ALWAYS attaches and is not affected by this mode

0 = don't attach (default)

1 = attach

SendCapslockMode

Specifies if AutoIt should store the state of capslock before

a Send function and restore it afterwards

0 = don't store/restore

1 = store and restore (default) SendKeyDelay

Alters the the length of the brief pause in between sent keystrokes A value of 0 removes the delay completely Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5)

SendKeyDownDelay

Alters the length of time a key is held down before being released during a keystroke For applications that take a while to register keypresses (and many games) you may need to raise this value from the default A value of 0 removes the delay completely

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5)

TCPTimeout

Defines the time before TCP functions stop if no communication

Time in milliseconds before timeout (default=100)

TrayAutoPause

Script pauses when click on tray icon

0 = no pause

1 = pause (default) If there is no DefaultMenu no pause will occurs

TrayIconDebug

If enabled shows the current script line in the tray icon tip

to help debugging

0 = no debug information (default)

1 = show debug TrayIconHide

Hides the AutoIt tray icon Note: The icon will still initially appear ~750 milliseconds

0 = show icon (default)

1 = hide icon

TrayMenuMode

Extend the behaviour of the script tray icon/menu This can

be done with a combination (adding) of the following values

0 = default menu items (Script Paused/Exit) are appended

to the usercreated menu; usercreated checked items will automatically unchecked; if you double click the tray icon then the controlid is returned which has the "Default"-style (default)

1 = no default menu

2 = user created checked items will not automatically unchecked if you click it

4 = don't return the menuitemID which has the "default"-style in the main contextmenu if you double click the tray icon

8 = turn off auto check of radio item groups TrayOnEventMode

Enable/disable OnEvent functions notifications for the tray

0 = (default) disable

1 = enable

WinDetectHiddenText

Specifies if hidden window text can be "seen" by the window matching functions

0 = Do not detect hidden text (default)

1 = Detect hidden text

WinSearchChildren

Allows the window search routines to search child windows as well as top-level windows

0 = Only search top-level windows (default)

1 = Search top-level and child windows

WinTextMatchMode

Alters the method that is used to match window text during search operations

1 = Complete / Slow mode (default)

2 = Quick mode

In quick mode AutoIt can usually only "see" dialog text, button text and the captions of some controls In the default mode much more text can be seen (for instance the

contents of the Notepad window)

If you are having performance problems when performing many window searches then changing to the "quick" mode

may help

WinTitleMatchMode

Alters the method that is used to match window titles during search operations

1 = Match the title from the start (default)

2 = Match any substring in the title

3 = Exact title match

4 = Advanced mode, see Window Titles & Text (Advanced)

-1 to -4 = force lower case match according to other type of match

WinWaitDelay

Alters how long a script should briefly pause after a successful window-related operation

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=250)

Function Reference

AutoItSetOption

Changes the operation of various AutoIt functions/parameters

AutoItSetOption ( "option" [, param] )

Parameters

option The option to change See Remarks

param

[optional] The value to assign to the option The type and meaning vary by option See remarks below If the param is not provided, then the function just returns the value already assigned to the option The

keyword Default can be used for the parameter to reset the option to its default value

Return Value

Returns the value of the previous setting for the option

Remarks

You may use Opt() as an alternative to AutoItSetOption()

AutoIt will halt with an error message if the requested option is unknown Options are as follows:

CaretCoordMode

Sets the way coords are used in the caret functions, either absolute coords or coords relative to the current active window:

0 = relative coords to the active window

1 = absolute screen coordinates (default)

2 = relative coords to the client area of the active window

ExpandEnvStrings

Changes how literal strings and % symbols are interpreted By default strings are treated literally, this option allows you to use

%environment% variables inside strings, e.g., "The temp directory is: %temp%"

1 = expand environment variables (similar to AutoIt v2)

0 = do not expand environment variables (default) Without this option the usual way would be: "The temp directory is: " & EnvGet("temp")

ExpandVarStrings

Changes how literal strings and variable/macro ($ and @) symbols are interpreted By default strings are treated literally, this option allows you to use variables and macros inside strings, e.g., "The value of var1 is $var1$"

1 = expand variables (when in this mode and you want to use a literal $ or @ then double it up: "This is a single dollar $$ sign"

0 = do not expand variables (default)
