Working with DLLs

[stormbreaker]

Hello everybody, I have a bit weird question. What I want to do is to call a DLL (from AutoIt of course) and I want the script to continue its execution (while the DLL is doing its job). Any ideas on how this can be done?

Also, could anyone please give me a basic idea of DLL Callbacks etc. (I mean, what can we do with these etc.)

Thanks a lot...

Regards,

Well I asked this because I saw somewhere on the internet that you could do this using PostMessage() function. But although this was done using multiple threads, I still believe there is scope of doing something like this in AutoIt.

When you want two simultaneous executions, you will need threading. Autoit doesn't natively support this, though it can be done.
