Can I run .AU3 script files?

[RPM_VR4]

I got AutoIt3X installed in Delphi. I already know how to do most of its functions using the Windows API though. I was hoping I could use the ActiveX to run the .AU3 files. Is this possible?

Example: A user of my Delphi program could specify (in an INI) a seperate .AU3 script for different actions inside the program.

I was hoping my Delphi code would look like this:

AutoIt3X.RunScript('c:\myscript.au3');

Hello RPM_VR4,

The AutoItX control uses only a subset of the commands available in AutoIt3.exe. So you can't use the control to run .AU3 scripts.

Instead you could let Delphi call the Autoit3.exe program to run a script. You can return values from the script to the Delphi program by using the AutoIt3 exit(<number>) statement. That's however limited to integer values.

Regards,

If I did that, could I distribute the AutoIt3 executible with my Freeware application?

You can use AUT2EXE to compile your script into an EXE and just distribute that.

But I want users of my embedder/skining application to be able to create their own AutoIt startup / button press scripts.
