Im currently trying to move some of my previous AutoIt network admin tools over to C++. In doing so I have made a continuously developing headache. Due to the fact that some of the functionality of my previous scripts are not easy to reproduce! Every attempt to use PostMessage, SendMessage, SendInput, and keybd_event have failed to work with our in-house software. The Auto-It Send() function however does work. Ive been trying to get it to work in C++ Builder 6 for a little over a week now (Point blank, Im almost bald). If anyone has accomplished using the AutoItX3.dll inside of C++ builder can anyone please help me. Here is what ive Tried so far with no luck! First Attempt > LoadLibrary (Beginning of file) typedef void (__stdcall *ptrFunc) (BSTR strSendText/*[in]*/, long nMode/*[in,def,opt]*/) ; (Inside main)
HINSTANCE handle = LoadLibrary("AutoItX3.dll") ;
Func = (ptrFunc) (GetProcAddress(handle,"Send") );
...
...
Func(MystrSendText, 0); Result: Project AdminUpdates.exe raised exception class EAccessViolation with message 'Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 0000000'. Process stopped. Use step or run to continue. Second Attempt > AutoIt3.h ( From AutoIt3\AutoItX\StandardDLL\DevC ) (Beginning of File) #include "AutoIt3.h" (Inside main) AU3_Send(MystrSendText, 0); Result: [Linker Error] Unresolved external 'AU3_Send' referenced from E:\[ System ]\My Documents\C++ Code\AdminUpdates\First.obj Third Attempt > AutoItX3Lib_TLB.h ( Generated from "Import Type Library" ) Directly after generating the code it throws an Error on the second line of the following code: __property long error = {read = get_error};
__property long SW_HIDE = {read = get_SW_HIDE};
__property long SW_MAXIMIZE = {read = get_SW_MAXIMIZE};
__property long SW_MINIMIZE = {read = get_SW_MINIMIZE};
__property long SW_RESTORE = {read = get_SW_RESTORE};
__property long SW_SHOW = {read = get_SW_SHOW};
__property long SW_SHOWDEFAULT = {read = get_SW_SHOWDEFAULT};
__property long SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = {read = get_SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED};
__property long SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = {read = get_SW_SHOWMINIMIZED};
__property long SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE = {read = get_SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE};
__property long SW_SHOWNA = {read = get_SW_SHOWNA};
__property long SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE = {read = get_SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE};
__property long SW_SHOWNORMAL = {read = get_SW_SHOWNORMAL};
__property BSTR version = {read = get_version}; [C++ Error] AutoItX3Lib_TLB.h E2040 Declaration terminated incorrectly This error occures on every property line after that. Note: if I comment out all property lines within the file then it works well atleast untill I get to the main code and try calling any of the functions. There not accessible, and any attempt to try and access them results in [C++ Error] First.cpp(34):E2272 Identifier expected [C++ Error] First.cpp(34):E2379 Statment missing ; DLL's are not my strong suit! Ive tried every variation of the above two steps and researched google, and the forum to no avail. I have no problem with any other asspect of C++, but this problem with the DLL is driving me crazy. If anyone has been able to get this working, please let me know how I maybe able to fix this. Thanks in advance!
