running autoit script from vbs

[kuhasu]

How can I let autoit script run in VBS by the way of ActiveX/COM?

It means the AutoitX can be run as a procedure in windows,right?

No need to compile the code by far.

Thank you very much!

AutoItX does not run AutoIt au3 scripts. It just contains some functions that AutoIt has so you can call them from other languages.

[kuhasu]

oops~

then is there any solutions let me can run autoit script in VBS?

I just wanna write some code to focus a window,send some orders,text,and key press...this kinda things.

And how can I let the ActiveX be activated with the VBS and let it stay in RAM unless I quit the VBS.

Thank you.

BTW,I also need to put the value from a macro variable in the VBScript to another macro variable in autoit script in the code of vbs.

Any suggestions?

Thank you so~ much!

You can just translate the AutoIt code to VBS. AutoItX has some of the AutoIt built in functions.

[kuhasu]

so is there any materials for VBS?window control,paste the variables of macro variable,submit press?....just like autoit

Thank you.

Look at the functions available in AutoItX. The help file is included under the extras in the start menu.

[kuhasu]

thank you.

then how can I pass the value of a variable in VBS to the autoit script?

Actually AutoitX runs in a VBS way,so the macro variable can be recognized by autoitX directly,am I right?

[Richard Robertson]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Can you try explaining it differently?

oops~

When we run autoitX scripts in VBS environment,actually we are running VBscript.And the autoitX in activeX or in dll is a package of some of the functions.Right?Thus,actually we are running VBS with VBS functions,not autoit scripts in VBS?

[Richard Robertson]

Correct. But AutoItX lets you call some AutoIt style functions from VBS. Like WinList. AutoItX lets you call WinList in VBS.

[kuhasu]

Thx,dude!

But there are some functions were not in AutoITX. E.g : Msgbox, StringInStr,...

[Richard Robertson]

Any language that can call AutoItX should have its own message box and string functions.

Then how can we call dll by autoitX in vbs?

you know vbs can not support dll calling directly

[Richard Robertson]

DllCall is not implemented in AutoItX.

Why not just use AutoIt directly instead of VBS?

[kuhasu]

Well~vbs is a must...

Any ideas pls?

[Richard Robertson]

Why is it a must?

And no, there are no suggestions because you already said it won't work.

And don't make two threads on the same topic.
