para Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 With the amazingly fast growing dllcall and other varies functions, would it be possible to write a raw client. Like for... aol, aim, ym, icq, or best, irc? I've seen it done in c and c++, can autoit do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layer Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 well, i don't know if any of the autoit commands besides DllCall could do it.. but if you know C or C++ or some laguage like that, write a dll and use dllcall to call your functions or just find an AIM dll and use that... but i don't think AutoIt is one of those languages where you can work around another program, with that same power as the program your working around... sry FootbaG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 As I understand, DLLCALL allows you to write ANYTHING you want in c++, and use any c++ command or c command in autoit, there by autoit CAN (technically) do anything c and c++ can do right?

Would probably result in an insanly long sourcecode too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Well, that way the really expierenced c++ programmers, or c, could write the dlls, then the people who just mess with autoit would be able to use the functions. Nevermind if it's really that deep.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therks Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Well don't let us discourage you. I was just imagining someone going out and learning just enough of C++ to create a DLL for AutoIt to use, when they could spend the time to learn more about C++ and create the whole program with it. See what I mean? That would seem kinda silly, wouldn't it? But what you're talking about seems more like what Larry is doing with his Au3Xtra.dll. He knows a bunch about C++ already and is graciously creating a DLL that makes things easy for users of AutoIt.

para Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Exactly! That was what I meant, exactly what larry is doing, and to clear somthing up, (kinda dont matter but) larry is writing them in "C" if im not mistaking Thanks Para Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
