mr_unreliable Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 hi gang, I have read with interest the (new) COM capabilities of autoit3. As I understand it, the COM support is primarily oriented to interfacing with (running) COM objects, such as Excel, and with COM utilities, such as wscript.shell. This question is about one of the other uses of COM, that is as used in vb, where you make a reference to a (visual) COM object have it show up in your toolbox, and then drag it over and place it on your form (i.e., window). As I understand it, this can be done explicitly if the object has a "setParentWindow" type of function, where you can (via a COM interface) make the control a child window of the parent. But vb has something else. The drag capability is "implicit" and the connection is made with stuff I don't quite understand, but generally is referred to as "client site interfaces". That is, the control is "auto-magically" interfaced with the form (er, window). Does autoIt3 support this latter capability??? cheers, jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleHohm Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Not the way you describe it with automatic plumbing and intellisense etc., but check out GUICtrlCreateObj() Dale Free Internet Tools: DebugBar, AutoIt IE Builder, HTTP UDF, MODIV2, IE Developer Toolbar, IEDocMon, Fiddler, HTML Validator, WGet, curl MSDN docs: InternetExplorer Object, Document Object, Overviews and Tutorials, DHTML Objects, DHTML Events, WinHttpRequest, XmlHttpRequest, Cross-Frame Scripting, Office object model Automate input type=file (Related) Alternative to _IECreateEmbedded? better: _IECreatePseudoEmbedded Better Better? IE.au3 issues with Vista - Workarounds SciTe Debug mode - it's magic: #AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
