Create a DLL with AutoIt?

[Guest agarde1]

I have been using Autoit for a while. I like that I can make executables. But is it possible to make a DLL instead? I've seen that there is an AutoItX but I don't understand very much what is it about.

Thank you,

You want to make a DLL but don't know what AutoitX.DLL is ??

Maybe I don't understand you question

From your answer I guess that my question is probably silly. I am sorry. I do not know anything about AutoItX. I discovered AutoIt not long ago. I saw that there is a compiler and I wondered if you can make a DLL instead of an EXE.

I looked on the documentation (the Spanish version) and I found no reference to AutoItX. I am a bit confused. Is AutoitX really a part of AutoIt or a different program?

AutoItX is made for advanced programmers/scripters.

AutoIt3 is made for everyone and works everywhere.

The compiler doesn't translate the script into machine code as it would be neccessary to create DLLs. Basically it only adds a wrapper and the FileInstall()ed files to the AU3 file.

shucks, i thought AutoIt3 was for advanced scripters

autoit3 secretly rules the earth. it is very advanced our minds just cant use it because it is so extremely advanced (btw you dont need to make a .dll if you just put it in the udf folder and include it at the top of your scripts)

Using other compliers, it is possible to create a DLL that makes calles to the AutoITX DLL. I'm just not sure why you would want to do this.
