Hi,
I'm trying to create a shortcut playing with variables but I can't figure out what's wrong
I got 2 variables joined in one with for instance
Local $path = FileOpenDialog($message, "C:" & "", "Select your executable (*.exe)", 1 + 4)
Local $elev = 'c:\windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "runhigh" /high '
$target = $elev & $path
FileCreateShortcut($target, @DesktopCommonDir & "\linked.lnk", StringLeft($target,StringInStr($target,"\",0,-1)) , "" , "" , "c:\i.ico")
The problem is that a shortcut is created but instead of the target area I got the start in filled with my variable
My second problem is that when I do a shell execute of the result of $target = $elev & $path, Note that if I do a batch with the variable written manually, it's working.

I'm trying to add a bit of functionality to the FastStone File Rename dialog. I can access every control that I need to except the one that contains the files to be renamed. If I do some exploring in a vbScript shell I get
:c = "TTntTreeView.UnicodeClass1"
:?aut.ControlTreeView(win,"",c,"GetItemCount","","")
5
You can see that the treeview control reports having five items, which is the number displayed. If I manually select (mouse) item #3 I can see the result by
:?aut.ControlTreeView(win,"",c,"GetSelected","1","")
#3
But I do not know how to get the text for the selected item. If "#3" is the item reference then I should be able to
:?aut.ControlTreeView(win,"",c,"GetText","1","#3")
or
:?aut.ControlTreeView(win,"",c,"GetText","1","#3")
if I go strictly by the help file, but it returns nothing.
:?aut.ControlTreeView(win,"",c,"Exists","","3")
1
So it appears that item 3 exists, but
:?aut.ControlTreeView(win,"",c,"GetText","","3")
does not have any text???
:?aut.ControlTreeView(win,"",c,"Exists","","9")
1
and it also appears item 9 exists (it does not)
:?aut.ControlTreeView(win,"",c,"Select","","")
1
causes the first item to be selected, as does
:?aut.ControlTreeView(win,"",c,"Select","","3")
1

I'm struggling to launch a VBS file via autoit using RunWait. Due to the nature of the deployment tool I am using for said script, I only know that the .vbs files will be in the same directory as my AutoIt-generated .exe, but not what that path will be. The path will look something like this:
c:\programdata\vendor\lots\of\folders\randomnumber
This is generated during deployment and I have no way of predicting the path - therefore, I am not sure how to call back to "same directory" in order to successfully launch the .vbs.
This line is as close as I have gotten - this fires off the cmd window, but it closes immediately with out information, and the .vbs is not launched.
RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c" & 'cscript.exe WORKPLEASE.vbs ALL /Q /NoCancel') I thought /c might be the problem, but leaving out the /c element causes me not to even see the momentary CMD window flash by. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is possible or if someone has already tackled this. Is it possible to embed PowerShell into a GUI? Autoit is great for quick function but sometime I need to run a command thru PowerShell. It be great to have PowerShell console embedded into the gui.

After much searching I finally found a method to get eMails from an Exchange eMail account inbox. I was hoping for AutoIT or vbscript but I couldn't find any that would read the inbox messages without using Outlook.
I needed this because I'm testing a web-form that generates an eMail sent to a shared mailbox "not what my current outlook is configured for". so, I needed to connect to a different account, then get the inbox messages, and see if the auto-generated eMail message body contains what I submitted in the form.
I found a PowerShell script that was close and modified it to do just what I want, but I'd still like it to run in AutoIT but I'm not sure how to use the Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll
Anybody have some ideas?
