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:

http://www.delphifaq.com/fq/q3081.shtml

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,

-D$

BTW: This "small" code segment is generated by Delphi itself. You can dig through in order to find out how things are defined. Some parameters are a bit different compared to the AutoIt help but most of the stuff should be selfexplaining. This unit would be a good starting point to write a "wrapper unit" similar to a h-file in C by defining all functions and procedures as external referencing the AutoItX.dll. Nevertheless the component is much more convenient.

Hello Darksoul71,

Thanks for you efforts to integrate AutoItX in Delphi. It's sure something to include with the documentation.

I will ask the author of AutoItX (Jon) if he can do so.

Hi. I'm a new member of this forum and I need to use AutoItX with Delphi too.

sorry but the link you wrote (http://www.delphifaq.com/fq/q3081.shtml"]http://www.delphifaq.com/fq/q3081.shtml[/url) doesn't work.

Can you tell me the correct link where I could find the instructions? or can you send me the complete unit called AutoItX3Lib_TLB?

Thanks!!!
