I am trying to create a local page that can be used to launch applications avoiding the prompting to save the exe.

There is a nice util called launchinIE which does just that: Whirlywiryweb

Could you help me with the use of autoitX as well as the scripting necessary in the HTML side of things.

I know I am asking a lot, but any help is appreciated.

CheersNobby

Not sure why autoitX is needed for what you are asking. All the HTML examples are noted on the link you provided, just download the "Launch-in-IE" DLL then follow the instructions noted. Seems pretty simple.

You're not planning on using this bad purposes are you ?

:lmao: Sounds kind of fishy o:)

No, I am not planning on using for bad purposes. In any case, the autoitx DLL has to be registered on each PC's

Yes, I am already using LaunchinIE to achieve what I want, which is running Internet Explorer in kiosk mode as the shell and have hyperlinks to applications.

The aim here is to learn more about autoitX and I thought that was a good way to get my teeth into it.

Thanks for the replies

Thanks for the links. From there I have found the answer to my question. If you are interested, here is the solution.

First of course register the AutoItX3.dll

And here is the HTML code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<input type="BUTTON" name="Exec1" value="Notepad" language="vbs" onclick="notepad">
<script language="vbs">
Sub notepad
  Dim oAutoIt
  Set oAutoIt = CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")
  oAutoit.run "Notepad.exe", "", oAutoIt.SW_MAXIMIZE
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</BODY></HTML>

:lmao:

@Nobby

Since you use: script language="vbs" in your HTML

Wouldn't it be easier to use Vbscript to run Notepad then you would not have to worry about registering or installing AutoItX ?

Yes, I suppose it would be. I am better at autoit scripting than VBS...

i don't think this is possible

if you are wanting autoit to open a program with administrators rights (if required) on vista, you have to use the shellexecute function

Deal or No Deal?
