autoit events callback

[aris]

hi, can i somehow attach to an event ?

i mean i want to check the state of a control exists for example or position but without running a timer with autoit.getcontrol in it cause its bad programming.

can i do this with autoit and c#?

There is no "control added" event.

[aris]

its was an example i think you understood my point.

can we have events with autoit and callbacks or not? replace("control added","control.position_changed") or something

is the proper technique to put a timer and then parse to see if something changed?

The events that occur in .Net don't match up with anything in the Win32 world. AutoIt has no way to access that.

Autoit3x enables you to use Autoit3 functionality from another language, not the other way around.

It would be difficult in C# as you'd need to import a lot of winapi functions... But it's possible. Would require a good in depth knowledge of the windows api though, as I imagine you'd need to inject code into the process, change the window procedure for the target control to the injected code, then look at inter-process methods of communication... Could be interesting.

Alternatively hooks might be able to do a lot of what you want.
