rr62 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I am a new comer to AutoITX3. I will be using the AutoIT from within Excel VBA. I added AutoItX 1.0 Type library to my VBA using Tools - Refernces command. I am trying to write to Notepad from within Excell. I am using Notepad as a first step before using richer applications. I identified the Window Info for Notepad using AutoIT v3 Window Info tool. (I tried to post the Window info as a screen shot as bmp and jpeg in this post. I got a warning message "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.") Sub TestNotepad() Dim autoit As AutoItX3 Set autoit = New AutoItX3 autoit.Run "notepad.exe" autoit.Sleep (100) ' Wait for note to finish loading autoit.ControlSend "Untitled - Notepad", "", "[CLASSNN:Edit1]", "This is a test" End Sub However, the notepad does not open up.with a message. Also, I am not able to see Immediate window. I have tried Windows 7 (64 bit machine -- but used AutoIt 3 regular version in compatibility mode (not 64 bit mode) and not beta version) with Excel 2007. Also, no luck with Windows XP with Excel 2003 as well. Any ideas as to how fix the problem would be appreciated. Thanks. Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

water Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Have you tried to put all the AutoIt processing into a single compiled script and start it from VBA?
