AutoI Technology Curriculum Book part 109 docx

MouseClickDownDelay

Alters the length a click is held down before release.
Time in milliseconds to pause (default=10).
MouseClickDragDelay
Alters the length of the brief pause at the start and end of
a mouse drag operation.
Time in milliseconds to pause (default=250).
MouseCoordMode
Sets the way coords are used in the mouse 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

MustDeclareVars
If this option is used then all variables must be pre-
declared with Dim, Local or Global before they can be
used - removes the chance for misspelled variables
causing bugs.
1 = Variables must be pre-declared
0 = Variables don't need to be pre-declared (default)
OnExitFunc
Sets the name of the function called when AutoIt exits
(default is OnAutoItExit).
PixelCoordMode
Sets the way coords are used in the pixel functions, either
absolute coords or coords relative to the window defined
by hwnd (default active window):
0 = relative coords to the defined window

1 = absolute screen coordinates (default)
2 = relative coords to the client area of the defined
window
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).
