mohitag19 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Hi, I have been using AutoIt for quite some time now but a friend today got me into thinking about its interesting uses. I showed him a script that I wrote for automating mundane tasks like opening all my usual work related programs (microsoft visual studio, notepad++, unix editor, chrome browser etc) whenever I boot my PC. But, apart from that I couldn't impress him with anything that can be done with AutoIT. Do you know any such example scripts which can draw a layman to AutoIt? Ideas will also do, I can code :-) Edited September 16, 2014 by mohitag19
JohnOne Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 You forgot to post your example script. AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
wakillon Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 depends of what kind of examples you want... Use the search for find them AutoIt 3.3.18.0 X86 - SciTE 4.4.6.0 - WIN 11 24H2 X64 - Other Examples Scripts
iamtheky Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 i always point to eukalptus' beast of a GDI+ example when asked about the 'most impressive' script. ,-. .--. ________ .-. .-. ,---. ,-. .-. .-. .-. |(| / /\ \ |\ /| |__ __||| | | || .-' | |/ / \ \_/ )/ (_) / /__\ \ |(\ / | )| | | `-' | | `-. | | / __ \ (_) | | | __ | (_)\/ | (_) | | .-. | | .-' | | \ |__| ) ( | | | | |)| | \ / | | | | | |)| | `--. | |) \ | | `-' |_| (_) | |\/| | `-' /( (_)/( __.' |((_)-' /(_| '-' '-' (__) (__) (_) (__)
ViciousXUSMC Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 For the given example I would just put a shortcut to those programs in my startup folder. What made the best use for me here that impressed others was automating complicated install processes, and being able to query databases with interactive inputs via the MySql UDF. Also I made a GUI that has buttons to perform a ton of tasks that are required when imaging new computers. > Change PC Name & Description > Disable Firewall > Disable UAC > Enable Remote Assistance > Map Network Share > Etc... So basically think of anything that normally takes a lot of time/work hands on (That you need to do on a regular basis) and find ways to make it hands off
