Loduwijk Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) I've been searching all over, but there doesn't seem to be enough documentation on using AutoIt as a DLL in other languages. The little documentation there is in the AutoItX help file is for C, in which the nice header file takes care of everything for you. And, oddly, the forum search feature here won't let me search for vb because it doesn't like the length of the accronym. I'm using VB for my current project, and it can't seem to find the required dll file. I ran a search for autoit files on my computer, and I was surprised to see that there aren't any. How do I use the AutoIt DLL functions in VB? Thanks ahead of time for any help. Edited May 25, 2006 by Loduwijk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uten Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I have a folder called AutoItX, with AutoitX3.dll and AutoitX.chm in it. There is also two vbscript samples. As fare as I understand the methodes documented in the help file should be the same as documented in the regular help file. If you folow the "donwload beta link" you wil get to a catalog with a entry for AutoitX.Searching for +Autoitx +visual gave several hits including a VB6 demoRegarding searching on your computer. You have y turn off the helpfule "hide system files" feature in Explorer? Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum. Then ask unresolved questions :) Script plugin demo, Simple Trace udf, TrayMenuEx udf, IOChatter demo, freebasic multithreaded dll sample, PostMessage, Aspell, Code profiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loduwijk Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes, I have it set to look for system files too. odd Either way, I looked over the source in that demo you found, and after messing with the demo for a while I realised VB now has AutoIt in with the stuff you can include in the Project|References menu; the AutoIt installation must have put it there without my knowing. That makes it easy enough. At least it works now. Thanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Robertson Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 "Look for system files" and "Show system files" are too completely different options. Why didn't you just navigate to the folder in which you installed AutoIt to? You say "searching for AutoIt files." Were you searching for .au3 files? That wouldn't find the installed AutoIt program.
