AlanR Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I'm trying to develop a script that will talk with an existing (server) program via DDE. I have used this program sucessfully in Excel, using formulas of the type: =<constIDString>|<request>!<parameter> and the correct string result is returned into the cell, from a running instance of the server program. The program appears to support ONLY DDE, no indication of inbuilt COM. What I'm after is some sort of client functionality for the AutoIt script, so that it can send requests and receive results, the same way as Excel is able to. Does such a beastie exist? Is this even possible with AI? thanks AlanR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrex Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 @AlenR It is not build in into AU3, but i!t is possible using DLLCALL. So you or someone will have to write the DDE client / Server UDF's. I've been looking into this myself years back but gave up on it. regards, ptrex Contributions :Firewall Log Analyzer for XP - Creating COM objects without a need of DLL's - UPnP support in AU3Crystal Reports Viewer - PDFCreator in AutoIT - Duplicate File FinderSQLite3 Database functionality - USB Monitoring - Reading Excel using SQLRun Au3 as a Windows Service - File Monitor - Embedded Flash PlayerDynamic Functions - Control Panel Applets - Digital Signing Code - Excel Grid In AutoIT - Constants for Special Folders in WindowsRead data from Any Windows Edit Control - SOAP and Web Services in AutoIT - Barcode Printing Using PS - AU3 on LightTD WebserverMS LogParser SQL Engine in AutoIT - ImageMagick Image Processing - Converter @ Dec - Hex - Bin -Email Address Encoder - MSI Editor - SNMP - MIB ProtocolFinancial Functions UDF - Set ACL Permissions - Syntax HighLighter for AU3ADOR.RecordSet approach - Real OCR - HTTP Disk - PDF Reader Personal Worldclock - MS Indexing Engine - Printing ControlsGuiListView - Navigation (break the 4000 Limit barrier) - Registration Free COM DLL Distribution - Update - WinRM SMART Analysis - COM Object Browser - Excel PivotTable Object - VLC Media Player - Windows LogOnOff Gui -Extract Data from Outlook to Word & Excel - Analyze Event ID 4226 - DotNet Compiler Wrapper - Powershell_COM - New Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
