TyutYu Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hello! I'm new here. I can use much less functions can found on this page: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions.htm. How could I call for example the 'beep' command? I attach a picture what I get back when I call 'print(dir(autoit))' Thanx in advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted May 24, 2021 Developers Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) I have no clue what you are asking here! What does python have to do with AutoIt3 ? Jos EDIT: Don't crosspost question and guess you are asking which functions are available in AutoItX? if so, look at the appropriate helpfile AutoItX.chm!!!

abberration Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hello, TyuTu I think I know what you are asking. Why are there so many functions in AutoIt and how can you find what you are looking for? As mentioned earlier, AutoIt's functions make it easy to accomplish complicated tasks with one line of code. You used Python to browse the functions that AutoIt has, but a messy list is no way to browse. Go straight to the Help file! Here's a screenshot of your "Beep" example: Making your computer beep is this easy: Beep(500, 1000) The Help file is awesome. I have read it more than any book or magazine in my life. Hopefully, there is a version of the help file in your native language. Easy MP3 | Software Installer | Password Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfish Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 @JockoDundee - I think that is exactly what he was asking. When he views the available functions to be called from Python with AutoIt (the screen shot he provided) the list is a subset of what is otherwise available in AutoIt. The OP was asking why that is the case and was merely using beep as an example, his question now makes perfect sense. I don't know the answer ... but since many were trying to decipher the question I will see if that helps.

IMHO, the reason that Beep() is not included in AutoitX may be because it is a very standard function to be called in any language, so the demand for it is not like other Autoit specific functions. Code hard, but don’t hard code... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshine Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 What I don’t understand is why are you even want to use auto IT at all? There really isn’t anything you can do that python can’t with the available library’s My resources are limited. You must ask the right questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
