allocate a bitmap from an other language

[ailig]

I use autoit for building the gui for my program and it works fine.

For taking a screenshot and importing it to my (lisp) workspace:

- I save the shot with gdi+ as jpg and

- reopen it then with lisp.

As you may know this is slow for large images, because it uses the file system.

So I'm thinking about allocating the bitmap directly from the autoit workspace into the lisp workspace. Lisp has got all kinds of foreign function interfaces. but to do that I would need the starting address or a kind of reference to that.

So, does anybody have some Ideas how this could work?

thanks in advance,

c.

... does autoit support a virtual file system?
