C# is a fantastic language to learn, it was my first language after Autoit, and other members that have made the same transition have good things to say about it. Why is it a good language to learn? Because the tools are brilliant, the error messages are precise and understandable, and the online resources (the community ones anyhow) are also fantastic. Only thing I would say is that it's tempting to start with the big projects you want to do. Don't. The learning curve is so steep you'll just keep writing off the project before you get anywhere. Start with small projects while you learn :-)

Based on your response, you are going out of your way to not answer our question. Here is how this discussion is going to play out. I can tell you I've seen this type of thread hundreds of times (I've been here going on 10 years now) and it plays out the same way every time. The poster (you) will be vague and refuse to answer questions. Usually the poster will simply repeat his question, ignoring all attempts at reasoning and logic. (just like you have done so far) The end result is a moderator is brought in and the poster now has to answer the questions put forth to him directly to a moderator (you answer the moderator's questions) or the result is a locked thread or the user (you) gets banned. Being vague, being cute, and refusing to answer a direct question by a mod is a ticket to banville. Been there, seen the trailer, ate popcorn and watched the show while shaking my head. Understand, if this is for a game, don't bother wasting our time. If you intend to simply keep asking your question and not answer ours, you will be wasting our time and the thread will be reported to a moderator. So, what is it going to be? Waste our time or start answering our questions so we can help you? Remember, YOU CAME TO US FOR HELP. In order for us to help you have to communicate. You fail to communicate, you fail to get help. it is that simple. I will ask you again: Why can't you use Mouseclick or controlclick?

KaFu, Danke - I will get the 2 pages aligned tomorrow. M23

Hello. This example shows how to create ad manage several threads from a unique autoIt script with the help of an external dll. I read many people saying it's not possible to have more than one thread in AutoIt. It's not true. We can do anything if we have a helper DLL to do the things we can't do within the autoIt script. The example also shows how we can make the DLL and the AutoIt code comunicate between themselves. The zip contains the full code (AutoIt and the C++ project). The script and the DLL are placed in the Release folder. Feel free to modify and use in any project. The VC++ project was created with Visual C++ Express 2010. It's free but requires an email registration. I intend to post a tutorial on how to use your own helper DLL to improve performance and do the things you can't do with AutoIt. I'ts cool having the AutoIt coding facilities and the power of a general language mixed altogether. Enjoy! MT AutoIt.zip
