AutoItObject Pure AutoIt

[genius257 41]

I've made a library, based on AutoItObject UDF with the goal of implementing getter and setter functionality and make it possible to define new object properties in as few steps as possible.

Thank you to @trancexx for getting me on the right track, and all users in Hooking into the IDispatch interface for the code to get me going.

If I've forgotten to add credit, please let me know

Things to be added

• Garbage collection
• Method support
• Support for more/all AutoIt variable-types
• Accessors
• Inheritance
• equivalent of @error and @extended

Example:

#include <AutoItObject_Internal.au3>

$oIDispatch = IDispatch()

$__getter = DllCallbackRegister(CustomGetter, "long", "IDispatch;IDispatch")
$__setter = DllCallbackRegister(CustomSetter, "long", "IDispatch;IDispatch")
$oIDispatch.__defineGetter("a", $__getter)
$oIDispatch.__defineSetter("a", $__setter)

$oIDispatch.a = "start"
MsgBox(0, "", $oIDispatch.a)
$oIDispatch.a = "end"
MsgBox(0, "", $oIDispatch.a)

$oIDispatch.b = 3.14
$oIDispatch.b += $oIDispatch.b
MsgBox(0, "", $oIDispatch.b)

$oIDispatch.__defineMethod("c", FuncName(MsgBox))
$oIDispatch.c(0, "title", "text")

Func CustomGetter($oIDispatch, $oIDispatch2);(return.value, this.value)
    $oIDispatch.a = "_" & $oIDispatch2.a & "_"
EndFunc

Func CustomSetter($oIDispatch, $oIDispatch2);(this.value, caller.value)
    $oIDispatch.a &= $oIDispatch2.a
EndFunc

 

0.1.1

AutoItObject_Internal.au3

0.1.2

AutoItObject_Internal.au3

 

Edit2 (19th March 2017):

First of all, sorry about the lack of updates on this project. I always start too many projects and end up ignoring old projects, if I run into problems ^^'.

So I've started moving my AutoIt scripts to GitHub. I will still post the most recent script version here.

This seems something very interesting.... and even more when support for adding methods will be ready.
...worth stay tuned....
Thanks for sharing.

p.s.
this line in AutoItObject_Internal.au3 raises an error:

If $iID==-1 Then Return Return $DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME

Glad you like it

Sorry about the error. My SciTE did not warn me, but after installing "SciTE4AutoIt3.exe" i now see what you mean ^^

I'll fix and re-upload immediately

version: 0.1.2

added basic support for methods via "__defineMethod" will update example.

 

Edit:

I been spending all this time looking into function reference, but it might be impossible, without knowing the structure Autoit uses. I feel like i got as close as i could, without just poking the bytes and hoping to get lucky. So I've added the above to try and get somewhat the same result.

Please inform me, if someone can help me with this.
