How To Use Autoitx3.dll In Visual Basic?

[sl_alagappan]

hi all,

How to use the AutoitX3.dll in Visual Basic and call the functions?

When I tried to reference the Autoit dll, it is not getting reference using the project menu.

any suggestions pl?

have you registered the file with regsvr32 autoit3x.dll ??

if so, using from vb should only require adding a reference to autoitx3 1.0 type library.

Private Sub Form_Load()

Dim cAutoit As New AUTOITX3Lib.Control

cAutoit.CDTray "e:", "open"

End Sub

Hope this helps!

registered the dll using regsvr32 and referenced the same in VB

But when running yr code, the error raised is "expected user-defined type, not project".

any chance?

Sorry.. missed the .control in AUTOITX3Lib.Control

it's ok now..

thanks a lot.

hi,

when using autoitv3 dll in VB, how do I run the following command?

When I run the following while loading a form, the error raised is "type mismatch"

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim a As Long
Dim cAutoit As New AUTOITX3Lib.Control
MsgBox "@ComSpec" & " /c " & "d:\psexec \\postmaster d:\utility\shutpm.exe"
a = cAutoit.RunWait("@ComSpec" & " /c " & "d:\psexec \\postmaster d:\utility\shutpm.exe", "", "@SW_MAXIMIZE")
MsgBox a
End Sub

The DLL knows nothing about @comspec or @SW_xxxx. The last parameter is a number not a string.
