;: Title: _Struct by HotKeyIt
;

; Function: _Struct
; Description:
;      _Struct is based on AHK_L objects and supports both, ANSI and UNICODE version. To use it you will require <a href=http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43049>Lexikos AutoHotkey_L.exe</a> or other versions based on it.<br><br>new _Struct is used to create new structure. A structure must be defined as a global variable or an item of global class (e.g. "MyClass.Struct").<br>_Struct can handle structure in structure as well as Arrays of structures and Vectors.<br>Visit <a href=http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43049>_Struct on AutoHotkey</a> forum, any feedback is welcome.
; Syntax: MyStruct:= new _Struct(Structure_Definition,Address,initialization)
; Parameters:
;	   General Design - Class _Struct will create Object(s) that will manage fields of structure(s), for example<br>left,top,right,bottom<br>RC := new _Struct("RECT")<br>will create a RECT structure with fields left,top,right,bottom of type UInt. To pass the structure its pointer to a function, DllCall or SendMessage use RC[""].<br><br>To access fields you can use usual Object syntax: RC.left, RC.right ...<br>To set a field of the structure use RC.top := 100.
;	   Field types - Following AutoHotkey and Windows Data Types are supported:<br><br>AutoHotkey Data Types:<br>Int, Uint, Int64, UInt64, Char, UChar, Short, UShort, Fload and Double.<br><br>Windows Data Types:<br>ATOM,BOOL,BOOLEAN,BYTE,CHAR,COLORREF,DWORD,DWORDLONG,DWORD_PTR,<br>DWORD32,DWORD64,FLOAT,HACCEL,HALF_PTR,HANDLE,HBITMAP,HBRUSH,HCOLORSPACE,HCONV,HCONVLIST,HCURSOR,HDC,<br>HDDEDATA,HDESK,HDROP,HDWP,HENHMETAFILE,HFILE,HFONT,HGDIOBJ,HGLOBAL,HHOOK,HICON,HINSTANCE,HKEY,HKL,<br>HLOCAL,HMENU,HMETAFILE,HMODULE,HMONITOR,HPALETTE,HPEN,HRESULT,HRGN,HRSRC,HSZ,HWINSTA,HWND,INT,<br>INT_PTR,INT32,INT64,LANGID,LCID,LCTYPE,LGRPID,LONG,LONGLONG,LONG_PTR,LONG32,LONG64,LPARAM,LPBOOL,<br>LPBYTE,LPCOLORREF,LPCSTR,LPCTSTR,LPCVOID,LPCWSTR,LPDWORD,LPHANDLE,LPINT,LPLONG,LPSTR,LPTSTR,LPVOID,<br>LPWORD,LPWSTR,LRESULT,PBOOL,PBOOLEAN,PBYTE,PCHAR,PCSTR,PCTSTR,PCWSTR,PDWORD,PDWORDLONG,PDWORD_PTR,<br>PDWORD32,PDWORD64,PFLOAT,PHALF_PTR,PHANDLE,PHKEY,PINT,PINT_PTR,PINT32,PINT64,PLCID,PLONG,PLONGLONG,<br>PLONG_PTR,PLONG32,PLONG64,POINTER_32,POINTER_64,POINTER_SIGNED,POINTER_UNSIGNED,PSHORT,PSIZE_T,<br>PSSIZE_T,PSTR,PTBYTE,PTCHAR,PTSTR,PUCHAR,PUHALF_PTR,PUINT,PUINT_PTR,PUINT32,PUINT64,PULONG,PULONGLONG,<br>PULONG_PTR,PULONG32,PULONG64,PUSHORT,PVOID,PWCHAR,PWORD,PWSTR,SC_HANDLE,SC_LOCK,SERVICE_STATUS_HANDLE,<br>SHORT,SIZE_T,SSIZE_T,TBYTE,TCHAR,UCHAR,UHALF_PTR,UINT,UINT_PTR,UINT32,UINT64,ULONG,ULONGLONG,<br>ULONG_PTR,ULONG32,ULONG64,USHORT,USN,WCHAR,WORD,WPARAM
;	   <b>Structure Definition</b> - <b>Description</b>
;	   User defined - To create a user defined structure you will need to pass a string of predefined types and field names.<br>Default type is UInt, so for example for a RECT structure type can be omited: <b>"left,top,right,left"</b>, which is the same as <b>"Uint left,Uint top,Uint right,Uint bottom"</b><br><br>You can also use structures very similar to C#/C++ syntax, see example.
;	   Global - Global variables can be used to save structures, easily pass name of that variable as first parameter, e.g. new _Struct("MyStruct") where MyStruct must be a global variable with structure definition. Also new _Struct(MyStruct) can be used if variable is accessible.
;	   Array - To create an array of structures include a digit in the end of your string enclosed in squared brackets.<br>For example "RECT[2]" would create an array of 2 structures.<br>This feature can also be used for user defined arrays, for example "Int age,TCHAR name[10]".
;	   Union - Using {} you can create union, for example: <br>_AHKVar:="{Int64 ContentsInt64,Double ContentsDouble,object},...
;	   Struct - Using struct{} you can create structures in union or in structures.
;	   Pointer - To create a pointer you can use *, for example: CHR:="char *str" will hold a pointer to a character. Same way you can have a structure in structure so you can call it recursive, for example Label.NextLabel.NextLabel.NextLabel.JumpToLine
;	   <b>Parameters</b> - <b>Description</b>
;	   MyStruct - This is a variable that will hold the object representing the strucuture which is returned by new _Struct(...).
;	   Structure_Definition - C/C++ syntax or one-line definition e.g. "Int x,Int y".
;	   pointer - Pass a pointer as second parameter to occupy existing strucure.
;	   Initialization - Pass an object to initialize structure, e.g. {left:100,top:20}. If pointer is not used initialization can be specified in second parameter.
;	   <b>Methods</b> - <b>Description</b>
;	   Strct.Type(itm) - Returns type of item or structure
;	   Strct.AhkType(itm) - Returns AHK type of item or structure to be used with NumGet and NumPut as well as DllCall
;	   Strct.Size() - Returns size of structure, same as sizeof(MyStruct)
;	   Strct.SizeT(itm) - Returns size of an item
;	   Strct.Offset(itm) - Returns offset for items
;	   Strct.Encoding(itm) - Returns encoding for items, to be used with StrGet and StrPut
;	   Strct.Alloc(itm,size[,ptrsize]) - Allocates memory in bytes, ptrsize is used to create pointers
;	   Strct.Capacity(itm) - Returns memory capacity for items.
;	   Strct.IsPointer(itm) - Returns whether the item is a pointer (defined using *).
; Return Value:
;     A class object representing your structure
; Remarks:
;		<b>NOTE!!! accessing a field that does not exist will cause recrusive calls and will crash your script, these errors are not catched for performance reasons.<br>TCHAR, UCHAR and CHAR return actual character rather than the value, use Asc() function to find out the value/code.
