nvda controller client wrapper on autoit

[beqa]

hello all.

please help.

i am trying to write a wrapper for nvda controller client in autoit.

it is a first attempt of working with dlls within autoit, nad without success.

so, i created one function which check if nvda is running, and then function with check if it is running display a msg.

so, here is my code:

if @OSArch = "X64" Then
Local Const $nvdaControllerClient64 = DllOpen

("nvdaControllerClient64.dll")
else
Local Const $nvdaControllerClient32 = DllOpen

("nvdaControllerClient32.dll")
endif

Func IsRunning()
if @OSArch = "X64" then
Return DllCall($nvdaControllerClient64, "testIfRunning")[0]
else
Return DllCall($nvdaControllerClient32, "testIfRunning")[0]
endif
Return False
EndFunc

Func test()
if IsRunning = True then
msgbox(0, 'hi', 'hello')
endif
EndFunc

 

and here is c# code for accessing this function:

    /* [comm_status][fault_status] error_status_t __stdcall nvdaController_testIfRunning(void); */

    [DllImport("nvdaControllerClient32.dll", EntryPoint = "nvdaController_testIfRunning")]
    extern static uint nvdaController32_testIfRunning();

    [DllImport("nvdaControllerClient64.dll", EntryPoint = "nvdaController_testIfRunning")]
    extern static uint nvdaController64_testIfRunning();

    public static bool IsRunning()
    {
        if (Is64bit())
        {
            return nvdaController64_testIfRunning() == 0;
        }
        return nvdaController32_testIfRunning() == 0;
    }

 

thanks.

hello, are there someone?

[beqa]

hello.

i've researched more about dllCalls in autoit and here is again non working script.

if @OSArch = "X64" Then
Local Const $nvdaControllerClient64 = DllOpen

("nvdaControllerClient64.dll")
else
Local Const $nvdaControllerClient32 = DllOpen

("nvdaControllerClient32.dll")
endif

test()

Func IsRunning()
if @OSArch = "X64" then
Return DllCall($nvdaControllerClient64, "VOID", "testIfRunning", 0)
else
Return DllCall($nvdaControllerClient32, "VOID", "testIfRunning", 0)
endif
Return False
EndFunc

Func test()
if IsRunning() then
msgbox(0, 'nvda is running', 'success')
endif
EndFunc

 

so, first param is dll which should be opened, there return type, which is Void, then function testIfRunning and then what it should return there is 0

however, when i am running script it doesn't display a messageBox.

please help me what i am doing wrong.

[BrewManNH]

There is no VOID return type in DLLCall, use NONE as the help file says.

[beqa]

ok, i changed without any success.

[BrewManNH]

What type is type 0? Read the help file, I don't do much with DLLCall, but even I can see your parameters are wrong.

[beqa]

i really can't understand how it should be written in autoit.

so, dllcall("dll", "NONE", "testIfrunning", this is a function which must return 0 on success

[beqa]

ok, maybe this is correct.

if @OSArch = "X64" Then
Local Const $nvdaControllerClient64 = DllOpen

("nvdaControllerClient64.dll")
else
Local Const $nvdaControllerClient32 = DllOpen

("nvdaControllerClient32.dll")
endif

test()

Func IsRunning()
if @OSArch = "X64" then
Return DllCall($nvdaControllerClient64, "NONE", "testIfRunning")
else
Return DllCall($nvdaControllerClient32, "NONE", "testIfRunning")
endif
Return False
EndFunc

Func test()
if IsRunning() then
msgbox(0, 'nvda is running', 'success')
endif
EndFunc

 

but how to check if it returns 0, this means that nvda is running, display a msgbox.

[beqa]

hi, is someone here who can help?

[Tekk]

I don't have the library to play with but I believe this is correct.

Func nvdaController_testIfRunning()
    Local $aResult

    If (@OSArch == "X64") Then
        $aResult = DllCall("nvdaControllerClient64.dll", "UINT", "nvdaController_testIfRunning")
    Else
        $aResult = DllCall("nvdaControllerClient32.dll", "UINT", "nvdaController_testIfRunning")
    EndIf

    If (@error <> 0) Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0);

    Return ($aResult[0] = 0)
EndFunc

Why do you want to control NVDA from AutoIT? AutoIT can do most things like recognizing controls. All it cannot do is automatic speach synthesis.
