need example of running *.exe

Beemer101 · April 16, 2005

ok i am about to partake in building a macro to open a program click certain buttons, and type in a password, and all this great stuff... but i need an example of the run command.

Can AutoIt run shortcuts?

if not then i have an alternate question. the shortcut target is:

"C:/Program Files/Sony/Launchpad/Launchpad.exe" /game:starwars

I need a written example (I learn best from seeing ) of how to run this file with that option at the end of it.

the reason i need this is, i don't fully understand entering parameters into commands in AutoIt.

Thanks,

Beemer

Run('C:/Program Files/Sony/Launchpad/Launchpad.exe "/game:starwars"')

Easy...

The double qoutes might have to go round the File Path instead.

thank you very much, i can now start building the macro.

Thanks again!

Beemer101 · April 16, 2005

oooh crap, another question... this game takes up the full screen, and in an alternate macro i built i have it set to start when i press ctrl+z and pause when i press ctrl+x. the problem is i have to alt+tab out in order for AutoIt to accept the key presses... is there a way to fix this? i can post code if you need of the alternate macro i have made.

You could use the _Ispressed() Function. See below

Beemer101 · April 16, 2005

well i looked through the link... although it was really confusing i just need help to convert it to what i need.

I PM'ed Burrup about this, but since he went offline i thought i should just post it here.

I need the following converted to be able for AutoIt to recognize when i press "Ctrl+Alt+z/x/c"

;In this little example pressing n will pop up a message
;pressing Esc will leave.
While 1
  If _IsPressed('1b') = 1 Then Exit;1b is ESC
  If _IsPressed('4e') = 1 Then MsgBox(0, '', 'Wow');4e is the N
  Sleep(10)

; $hexKey must be the value of one of the keys.

  Local $aR, $bO

i still get an error on the following line:

$aR = DllCall("user32", "int", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int", $hexKey)

i have no clue why, but that isn't saying much, as i'm am a noob

buzz44 · April 16, 2005

Whoops, try this instead.

$aR = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int", $hexKey)

Beemer101 · April 16, 2005

ok tried your code... and here is the error i get:

Line 17 (file name and location)

$ar = DllCall("user32.dll","int","GetAsyncKeyState","int",$hexKey)

$ar = ^ERROR

Error: Unknown function name.

buzz44 · April 16, 2005

Ok, that means you dont have a version that supports the DllCall() Function... You can get the latest release here...

here...

or the Beta here...

here...

Beemer101 · April 16, 2005

ok installed the first link, and the macro works.... well almost...

ok i pressed ctrl+z to start it... and then tried the other combinations to stop, or at least pause, it, and nothing worked... i almost had to restart my computer lol.

buzz44 · April 16, 2005

I think you will have to do you with the HotKeySet() like below.

HotKeySet("^!z", "Begin")
HotKeySet("^!x", "Pause")
HotKeySet("^!c", "MyExit")

Pause()

While 1
   If _IsPressed('11') = 1 AND _IsPressed('12') = 1 AND _IsPressed('5A') = 1 Then
     Send ("^!z")
   EndIf
   If _IsPressed('11') = 1 AND _IsPressed('12') = 1 AND _IsPressed('58') = 1 Then
     Send ("^!x")
   EndIf
   If _IsPressed('11') = 1 AND _IsPressed('12') = 1 AND _IsPressed('43') = 1 Then
     Send ("^!c")
   EndIf
  Sleep(10)
Wend

Func _IsPressed($hexKey)
   Local $aR
   $hexKey = '0x' & $hexKey
   $aR = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int", $hexKey)
   If Not @error And BitAND($aR[0],0x8000) = 0x8000 Then Return 1
   Return 0
EndFunc

Func Begin()
   WinActivate ( "SwgClient" )
   Sleep ( "3000" )
   While 1
      MouseClick ( "right" , 281, 308 , 1 , 1 )
      Sleep ( "1000" )
      MouseClick ( "left" , 393, 245 , 1 , 1 )
      Sleep ( "1200" )
   Wend
EndFunc

Func Pause()
   While 1
      Sleep ( "10000" )
   Wend
EndFunc

Func MyExit()
    Exit
EndFunc
