I think AutoItX is the answer. Or you can make an exe and run from command line.

Have a look at AutoitX. Its standardly installed and comes with examples.

I'd like to see an example of using AutoItX.dll with a C app.

Hey, ty for fast answer =)

but i have some problemes :<

I tried to run the exemple given for a C/c++ app

#include <Windows.h>
#include "AutoIt3.h"

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR   lpCmdLine,
                     int       nCmdShow)
{
    // You can now call AutoIt commands, e.g. to send the keystrokes "hello"
    AU3_Sleep(1000);
    AU3_Run("notepad.exe", "", 1);
    AU3_WinWaitActive("Untitled -", "", 0);
    AU3_Send("Hello{!}", 0);

    // Get the text in the status bar
    //char szText[1000];
    //AU3_StatusbarGetText("Untitled -", "", 2, szText, 1000);
    //MessageBox(NULL, szText, "Text:", MB_OK);

    return 0;
}

But i get this error everytime [Linker error] undefined reference to `AU3_Sleep@4'

i'm using Dev C++ and i linked the library

[Derto]

ok i figure it out, I had to linked the .a instead of the .lib

One more question, is there any way to to run the .exe alone without the .dll ?
