Using DLLs instead of Func ... EndFunc

[Olish]

Hello everybody,

is compiling AutoIt functions in a DLL instead of using AutoIt Scripts for calling them possible ?

And does DllCall wait while using the DLL function is finished or can I launch several "DllCall" in the same time ?

Thanks for your help.

NO this is not possible (compile AU3 to DLL)

EDIT: but look at A3X feature maybe it's what you can use instead

Maybe it helps when you explain what you want to accomplish .....

If i'm understanding correctly, he wants to use dllcalls like #include

Don't know how you'd make it work

No what I want to do is :

DllCall("myDLL", "myfunction"...)

instead of :

#include "myfunctions.au3"
...
myfunc()

It's possible, but you'd have to write the dll in another language. So I don't really see the point in doing that, unless you have a very specific case in which AutoIt is either too slow to accomplish your goals (like a recent project of mine), or AutoIt simply isn't capable of performing the required task.

The question remains why you want to do this ?

Yeah, sure it is. Write the DLL in C or whatever programming language you like. Compile it, then use a AutoIt's DLL call to that function. I've used it a little for testing. I was going to implement it into my 3D library because the Math's stress AutoIt a lot. But i haven't so i can't really send any examples.
