I am trying to find a simple starting point for using postmessage (in JScript but VBscript is ok), for example to click a button in windows Calculator.

Is this possible, can anyone provide an example?!

Thanks,

Alex

PS I think it will go like this, but when I try it I get 'Object doesn't support this property or method'.

var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
oAutoIt = new ActiveXObject("AutoItX3.Control");

shell.Run("calc.exe", 1);
oAutoIt.Sleep(500);

$hwnd = oAutoIt.WinGetHandle("Calculator");
oAutoIt.DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $hwnd , "int" , 1075 , "int", 2400, "int", 0);

DllCall is not in autoitx.

DllCall is not in autoitx.

OK Thanks, maybe there's another ActiveX wrapper to use dll calls from JScript.

I'm not sure about either, but I'd imaging you will find something in VB.

But It is certainly not an autoitx question. Maybe if you ask a moderator to move your thread to chat or developer chat.

There is function ControlClick() in AutoItX which you can use for your calculator buttons.

Thanks, just wanted to know if it was supported. ControlClick() looks interesting. (For dll calls from JScript I'm now using DynamicWrapperX )

Does that give you access to windows API on remote machines from web content?

I think it used to in the early days of ActiveX but now security restrictions would prevent it! I'm looking at building HTAs for testing which run like HTML webpages but locally, without security restrictions.
