Autoitx

How is AutoItX used? can it create working callable DLLs? how do you do that? define DLL functions, return values, etc. to compile into a DLL and actually use with DllCall ( ) ?

How is AutoItX used? can it create working callable DLLs? how do you do that? define DLL functions, return values, etc. to compile into a DLL and actually use with DllCall ( ) ?

Taken of the help file of AutoItX:

AutoItX is a DLL version of AutoIt v3 that provides a subset of the features of AutoIt via an ActiveX/COM and DLL interface. This means that you can add AutoIt-like features to your favourite scripting and programming languages, e.g. VB, VBScript, Delphi, C, C++, Kixtart, and most other languages that support the use of DLLs.

Don't confuse the use of functions in AutoItV3 (DllCall, DllStructCreate. . . ) with the use of the AutoItX Dll. They are different things.

Example of a basic C++ Dll

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

#ifdef _MANAGED
#pragma managed(push, off)
#endif

//This is where we define the externaly accessible function
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport)int add(int num1, int num2)
{
     int ret;
     ret = num1+num2;
     return ret;
}
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,
                       DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                       LPVOID lpReserved
                     )
{
    return TRUE;
}

#ifdef _MANAGED
#pragma managed(pop)
#endif

Then you can DLLCall it with

DllCall("./SomeDll.dll", "int","add","int",44,"int",55)

Not sure if I understood your question completely, but I hope this helps.
