Compile the script to an executable?

Take a look at the AutoItX3.dll.

Err... yeah ... That wouldn't be a problem would it?

Or you could just make an autoit script like what was suggested, and call it from your vb script... or an even better idea... make the whole thing in autoit... problem solved.

there's no way to get rid of that. you have to use the object name before the method. if you're doing a whole bunch of command you can use With

With oautoit 'the object name
.MouseMove()
.WinActivate()
.MouseClick()

see that would be no problem, but i needto have sounds recognition in the program, so even if i make it in aotuit3 i still need it to return values to the vb6 progream and then return values to the au3 program...

Download AutoIt if you haven't already... do the regular install... Then go to Program Files\AutoIt3\AutoItX There is a help file right there for you to take a look at, and probably will answer most of your questions.

If you refering to the object prefix, then you could make some Subs and Functions.

Here is a VBS concept of doing it:

expandcollapse popup

Dim au3, oShell, pid
Set au3 = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")

'Get return of Run Function

pid = Run("notepad.exe")

'Wait for the window "Untitled" to exist

If WinWaitActive("Untitled", "", 5) Then
    Send "Some text", 0
    Sleep 3000
End If

ProcessClose(pid)

WScript.Quit


Function Run(file)
    file = Chr(34) & file & Chr(34)
    Run = au3.Run(file)
End Function

Function WinWaitActive(title, text, timeout)
    WinWaitActive = au3.WinWaitActive(title, text, timeout)
End Function

Sub Send(sendtext, flag)
    au3.Send sendtext, flag
End Sub

Sub Sleep(time)
    au3.Sleep time
End Sub

Sub ProcessClose(process)
    au3.ProcessClose pid
End Sub

It may spark some ideas for you ?
