ok I got it ,thanks again

Thank you so much, everything works fine now. I guess now I actually have to code the script What I ended up doing was declaring the strings before using them: const wchar_t my_string[] = L"notepad.exe"; const wchar_t my_string2[] = L"Untitled -"; const wchar_t my_string3[] = L"Hello{!}"; const wchar_t my_string4[] = L""; AU3_Sleep(1000); AU3_Run(my_string, my_string4, 1); AU3_WinWaitActive(my_string2, my_string4, 0); AU3_Send(my_string3, 0); Is there any way I could make things a bit more efficient?

I really like how Au3 works and I would like to use it with C++/ I saw a thread here describing how but it just doesn't seem to be working for me http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/60107-using-autoitx-in-visual-c-and-dev-c/ Here is what I do: 1: Create new project -> Empty Project Visual C++ ( I named it Attempt ) 2: Copy AutoIt3.h AutoItX3.lib AutoItX3.dll main.cpp and Paste into my project file directory (Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Attempt) 3: When I try to do "in visual studio, go to Project->Add To Project->Files" I have no option of "Add To Project" but there is an option to add existing files which ends up adding all of the above files 4: I now try to run, this is the error I get 1>------ Build started: Project: Attempt, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1> main.cpp 1>c:\users\pent\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\attempt\main.cpp(17): error C2664: 'AU3_Run' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [12]' to 'LPCWSTR' 1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast 1>c:\users\pent\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\attempt\main.cpp(18): error C2664: 'AU3_WinWaitActive' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [11]' to 'LPCWSTR' 1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast 1>c:\users\pent\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\attempt\main.cpp(19): error C2664: 'AU3_Send' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [9]' to 'LPCWSTR' 1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== 5: I now try to change "APIENTRY WinMain(....)" in main.cpp to "main()" and run and I get this error 1>------ Build started: Project: Attempt, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1> main.cpp 1>c:\users\pent\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\attempt\main.cpp(14): error C2664: 'AU3_Run' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [12]' to 'LPCWSTR' 1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast 1>c:\users\pent\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\attempt\main.cpp(15): error C2664: 'AU3_WinWaitActive' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [11]' to 'LPCWSTR' 1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast 1>c:\users\pent\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\attempt\main.cpp(16): error C2664: 'AU3_Send' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [9]' to 'LPCWSTR' 1> Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== Btw I'm running windows 7 x64 , I also tried the x64 versions of the files to add in directory, it didn't help. Can someone lead me in the right direction? I have uploaded my project folder in an archive, the file exceeds the 64k so I uploaded to a file host. I will post the url to it if I am allowed/ if any1 wants to see it.
