Core Function Opt
Opt( <option>, <value> )
Description
Changes the operation of various Sputnik functions/parameters.
option
The option to change. See Remarks.
value
Optional; The parameter (varies by option). See Remarks.
Note - If no value is given the CURRENT value of the given option will be returned
Return Value
Returns the value of the previous setting.
Remarks
SocketConnectedPoll
Changes how long SocketConnected() will wait for a responce (Default is 1000 miliseconds)
HotKeyDelay
The absolute max possible delay before sending the same hotkey again (Default is 15 miliseconds)
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
ColourMode
Sets the way colours are defined, either RGB or BGR.
0 = Colours are defined as RGB (0xRRGGBB) (default) 1 = Colours are defined as BGR (0xBBGGRR)
MouseMoveDelay
Alters the length of the brief pause in between mouse moves. Time in milliseconds to pause (default=10).
MouseClickDelay
Alters the length of the brief pause in between mouse clicks. Time in milliseconds to pause (default=10).
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
PixelCoordMode
Sets the way coords are used in the pixel 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
SendAttachMode
Specifies if Sputnik attaches input threads when using then SendKeys() 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 Sputnik 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. Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5). Sometimes a value of 0 does not work; use 1 instead.
SendKeyDownDelay
Alters the length of time a key is held down before 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. Time in milliseconds to pause (default=1).
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. (Note -- 0 to 3 are case insensitive)
0 = Match the text from the start (Same as the function Left()) (default) 1 = Match the text from the end (Same as the function Right()) 2 = Match any substring in the text 3 = Exact text match 4 = Advanced mode (See [[Window Titles and Text Advanced|Window Titles and Text (Advanced)]] )
WinTitleMatchMode
Alters the method that is used to match window titles during search operations. (Note -- 0 to 3 are case insensitive)
0 = Match the title from the start (Same as the function Left()) (default) 1 = Match the title from the end (Same as the function Right()) 2 = Match any substring in the title 3 = Exact title match 4 = Advanced mode (See [[Window Titles and Text Advanced|Window Titles and Text (Advanced)]] )
WinWaitDelay
Alters how to pause after a successful window-related operation.
ProcessNameMatchMode
Alters the method that is used to match process names during search operations. (Note -- 0 to 3 are case insensitive)
0 = Match the name from the start (Same as the function Left()) (default) 1 = Match the name from the end (Same as the function Right()) 2 = Match any substring in the name 3 = Exact name match 4 = Advanced mode.
