How-To: AutoItX and Delphi

[Guest Darksoul71]

Hi forum,

I just wanted to post my experiences with AutoIt and Delphi. Unfortunately there´s no unit which provides a Delphi interface for AutoIt but there is help

Follow the instructions at this site:

Once you´ve registered the AutoItX.dll and imported the ActiveX compoment from Delphi (as described at the site above) a new component will be available at your toolbar. Just drag this component to your form and you are ready to go.

I just did a small experiment with the component:

AutoIt.Init;
  AutoIt.Run('notepad.exe','C:\',SW_MAXIMIZE);
  AutoIt.Sleep(2000);
  AutoIt.Send ('AutoIt rulez !!!',0);

Works fantastic ! Notepad pops up and the text is entered.

As I´m leaving quite early tomorrow morning to Belgium I wan´t have the time to do more experiments but now you should know how to deal with this.

Stay tuned,
