VB and AutoItX

[mrmasterminh]

What steps do I have to go through to use Autoit functions in my VBscript?? Sorry I am very new to everything

Hi,

I have not used it at all, but from that last post and link, I presume......;

1. Set up your object;

Set oAutoIt = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")

1.a - Use you usual syntax for if .. etc lines which do not need the AutoIt Syntax if you want.. then

2. Add to the beginning of every line;

oAutoit.

eg

oAutoit.WinWait title, text

3. Make a few changes directly;

eg

Exit

becomes

oAutoit.quit

I'll be interested to see how you go!

Best, Randall

Hey randallc!

I tried your perscribed code as a VBScript and it worked like a charm except for one minor detail. I received an error regarding this statement:

oAutoIt.quit

In checking the documentation, I didn't see a quit method listed. I'm not terribly familiar with how VBScript handles memory, so I replaced it with

Set oAutoIt = Nothing

It ran with no errors.

Woops,

OK, thanks, I was just guessing... "off the cuff", had not checked

Thanks again, Randall
