Possible to access System.Windows.Forms?

[GtaSpider]

Hi all

Is it possible to access to System.Windows.Forms? It's a kind of Net.Framework.

I want to command the System.Windows.Forms.Application Object like in Delphi (Application.COMMAND, e.g. Application.Run)

I tried it with ObjCreate("System.Windows.Forms") but this will return error code 1

Here i found two links, but they dont help me: Here and Here.

Can anybody help me? Or is there a other way to makes this with AutoIt?:

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(true);
Application.Run(new GlassForm());

This is Delphi.

Mfg / BEst Regards Spider

I have never tried calling .Net through COM. You have to load mscorlib first though, and call other assemblies through that, if I recall. You could also just write your own assembly that has a COM object exposed, register it, put it in the GAC and all that. Then call your own COM object because it was written differently.

[GtaSpider]

And how to write my own COM obj?

If it would possible i dont wanna have extra files..

[Richard Robertson]

If you know .Net, and you know how to use the MSDN, then you can write a .Net COM object.

If you don't know .Net, then you shouldn't be trying to use it through COM.

Ah well, i see, thank you for your .. uhm.. constructive post

Anyone know how to acces the function "SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault"?

What i want to do with this? Maybe you know DWM (Vista's destopmanager). I want to blur professional things. I need this function, so the windowtext would be showed

I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks, your Spider

You can work with certain .NET objects:

$DataList = ObjCreate("System.Collections.ArrayList")
$DataList.Add("B")
$DataList.Add("C")
$DataList.Add("E")
$DataList.Add("D")
$DataList.Add("A")
$DataList.Sort()
$DataList.Reverse()

For $strItem in $DataList
    ConsoleWrite( $strItem & @CRLF)
Next

Hi

Thank you for you comment, but this wont work for System.Windows.Forms I also tried the same:

This script will show you the accessible classes:

#321230

On my system, it doesn't list any System.Windows classes.

Do you use XP or Vista? On my XP there is also not this group, but on Vista it is.

Here is a link wich says that there is a NET obj that calls on "System.Windows.Forms": http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sy...dows.forms.aspx

Wait, i will boot now Vista, and tell you what the script u linked to said to me, thank you

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(true);
Application.Run(new GlassForm());

I read something about it and I don't think, it will work with AutoIt. This command sets the Drawing Mode from .NET to GDI+ (instead of GDI32), but AutoIt uses it's own Function to draw. So this should only work for .NET-forms, not for native win32 / AutoIt-Forms I think.

Hi

Oh, on Vista there is also not a Regkey called "System.Windows.Forms"

Is there no any other idea to call SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault?

Ok. This goes back to my post on you knowing or not knowing .Net.

"System.Windows.Forms" is a namespace. "System.Windows.Forms.Form" is the class. Stop trying to create an object of type namespace.

[GtaSpider]

Thanks for comment. I dont know .Net, but i want to create a script that will all help is in the forum.

"$oNET = ObjCreate("System.Windows.Forms.Form")" also return an error.

Well, after looking a bit, the Form object doesn't appear to be promoted to a COM object.

Ok.. Is there any other possibility to access to the function?

[Richard Robertson]

Why do you need to call it when it only applies to your own application's .Net controls? If you try calling it to make changes to your AutoIt GUI, it won't make any bit of difference.

[GtaSpider]

Hi

I need it, because i want to make this DWM working with AutoIt. It works perfect, but text wont shows correctly. There are two posibilitys to fix this. The firstone is with SetWindowLayered. I tried a lot, but this wont work. (i know the function.. but autoit can't do this)

So i try it to make it like this way (near Fig. 10): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163435.aspx

[Richard Robertson]

Well the .Net function you are trying to call only makes changes to .Net objects. Sorry but unless you are also creating .Net forms, this function does you no good to call.

[weaponx]

You should have said that in the first place. I'm not running Vista so I won't be much help.

Hi

Ok, but is there a other possibility to access "Application"

On VB it looks like this:

Dim defaultValue As Boolean
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(defaultValue)

On C#:

public static void SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault (
    bool defaultValue
)

defaultValue = True or False (boolean)

Thanks, your Spider
