schoel Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hello, I am sure my question has been asked before but after search for it, I can not find anything, probably because I don't know what to search for. How do I get Autoit to work within C++? I want to do it without any IDEs Thanks for any help Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

Authenticity Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 // Empty project additions: // Added "AutoIt3.h" include // Added "AutoItX3.lib" to the input linker libraries // // AutoItX3.dll needs to be in the run path during execution #include <Windows.h> #include <tchar.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(_T("notepad.exe"), _T(""), 1); AU3_WinWaitActive(_T("Untitled -"), _T(""), 0); AU3_Send(_T("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; } This is the example file provided with AutoIt installation. You'll need to change few things because for some reason it call function with LPCWSTR instead of LPCTSTR so you'll need to use the wide version or just change every occurrence using CTRL+H in the development environment as an easy solution. Also make sure the dll is in the same folder as the project or the system's folder, and that the linker input includes the AutoItX3.lib file.
