Making own functions using C++ and using in Autoit

[Chaz 0]

Is this possible in any way? I have coded too much with Autoit and i do not want to change to Autoitx and rewrite everything. Is there any way to make your own functions using C++, and then implementing them using autoit? Thanks in advance =O.

Edit: i've looked into the help files and searched the forums, but haven't found anything. I believe in order to do this i need to use dlls?

Thanks for the link! it is extemely useful to what i need to do. Unfortunately, I am still new to C++ and i do not know how to compile dlls! I do not have the programs listed on the thread.

I will continue researching, if anyone can explain how to do it i would greatly appreciate it =O.

i would recommend learning delphi it can still compile dlls and is easier to learn at first then C++

I think that DevC++ is free and is listed in the link. The example given in the SDK is pretty simple. I am sure that it would not be too hard to compile to a DLL.

Here is an example PlugIn project for Dev-C++ that contains 2 String functions:

StringRepeat() and StringReverse()

It includes all needed files and an example AutoIt script

Okay thanks for all the help Stumpii and JdeB, I understand how it works now.

All i need to do know is to fix my errors off c++ and i'm set >.<.
