just now I have imported vs config file from you post. I restart VS and clear solution then build the .net win form project, there is still the old issues. no change happened.

[dd1978]

Is there any way to get detailed error information. currently I only know that the error is happened by

macro @error

I do not know

[dd1978]

Could you compile your win form project by .Net 4.5 to see what would happen?

Hi @dd1978,

first of all, I tried to read and understand the whole thread conversation 🧐 , but I still don't get it => what are you trying to achieve?
Do you want to automated a given software with AutoIt which is written in VB.net?

Partly. There are several possibilities which could have impact, but in generell AutoIt doesn't work (at least as far as I could inspect) with newer .NET Core versions.
In your case, older than .NET Framework 4.5, it should work.

Still, maybe AutoIt isn't the best choice to solve for your problem. I would like to give you a better approach 😇 , but I have to understand what are you trying to do?!
Thanks.

Best regards
Sven

hi @SOLVE-SMART

for using AutoIt, I want to achieve to help myself to do the daily work. I am a network manager and a staff in IT group in my company. I found AutoIt may make my job be easier. So I open the help file of AutoIt and make some test on code for being ready to use it into my daily work.

but when I test code on function ControlCommand I hit the wall.

of course I can skip, but as a script language released to all of the world, I think I at least can get reason why this function not work, or whether the mistake is from me or the script language.

Thanks

Thanks for your explanation @dd1978 🤝 .

I still can not help you further, because I don't understand your concrete problem in combination with .NET Framework (VB.net) <=> AutoIt <=> ControlCommand.
Maybe I have to read the whole Thread (discussion) again to understand. Not now (maybe later).

Best regards
Sven

a problem that is easy to be understood:

using AutoIt, I cannot add new lines into list box in .net win form written by myself.

to add new lines, I tried autoit function ControlCommand but get error.

Just taking a guess here; perhaps the AddString just isn't a valid method for .NET ListBox class. 

This article shows populating a .NET Listbox using the Add method of the ListBox.ObjectCollection class. 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.listbox.objectcollection.add?view=windowsdesktop-7.0

I'm not exactly sure if you can just add .Items to the control name, or if you can get a handle to it and use the handle instead of the control/class name, but that's what I would look into.  I'm not at a place where I can test...sorry.

[dd1978]

AddString is a command in function ControlCommand defined in AutoIt, it is not a API of windows that is called in VS IDE.

I have tested a code for other functions of AutoIt successfully, either using handle or class name.

thanks @spudw2k
