Since W8.1 (actually IE 11 with W7 will work also) microsoft has a Javascript runtime that can be called from scripting languages As shown in this example from C++: https://iobservable.net/blog/2013/11/12/introduction-to-jsrt/ By loading either JSCRIPT9.DLL or CHAKRA.DLL you can embed ECMA JavaScript in your application And implemented here in AutoHotKey https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5739 Triggered by other threads: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/185883-accessing-autoit-variables/ https://iobservable.net/blog/2013/11/12/introduction-to-jsrt/ https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/184824-chakracore-udf-executing-javascript-in-autoit/ http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2016/04/06/getting-started-with-microsoft-chakracore/ This code is almost working but unfortunately not with the expected output.

I've been thinking about this for the last couple of weeks, and I've finally got around to putting together a proof of concept. As far as OOP goes, Javascript is a pretty damn good language -- very flexible, but lets look at some code. Here is a two button form for AutoIt written in Javascript. var $=this; var hgui; this.MsgHandler_=function (m){ if (m==$.AutoIt.GUI_EVENT_CLOSE) { $.AutoIt.GUIDelete(hgui); return true; }else if (m==button1) { $.AutoIt.Run("notepad.exe"); }else if (m==button2) { alert('Thanks from a javascript alert box!'); } return false; } var button1,button2; function Example1(){ var msg; hgui=$.AutoIt.GUICreate("My Gui",400,500); button1=$.AutoIt.GUICreateButton("Run Notepad",10,10,200,30); button2=$.AutoIt.GUICreateButton("Press Me",10,40,200,30); $.AutoIt.GUISetState($.AutoIt.SW_SHOW,hgui); } Example1(); This code would reside in an external file and be called by AutoIt. I've created a framework in AutoIt using AutoItObject that is just big enough to make this code work. Basically I am creating an AutoItObject, tacking on some core AutoIt functions and constants, and sending it off to play in Javascript land. There is much more to be tacked on. Other than this AutoItObject being a proxy for AutoIt functionality, there is a Javascript COM object into which the javascript file is loaded, and a message loop that calls back into the javascript. The framework is 300 lines of code. Before I extend this, I want to know if AutoIt ALREADY has a COM object I that I can use like this. But I am thinking that even if it does, this hand-coded way would be better because you can make the calls pass objects instead of parameters. Here is the framework: #include <AutoItObject.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> Global $thisfile=@ScriptFullPath; Global $logg=$thisfile&".log.txt"; Global $jsfile=$thisfile&".js"; ;e C:\batch\borg\TestJsaio.au3.js ;fret not, you do not need, will be a no-op if not exist Global Const $snarl="C:\batch\Snarl_CMD.exe";

I want to assign to an AutoItObject property without hardcoding the property name. In Javascript it would look like: obj['propertyName']=103; I can read access a property using Execute: Global $ppt_val=Execute('$obj.propertyName') But I cannot assign with: Assign('obj.propertyName',103,4); doesnt work, nor... Assign('$obj.propertyName',103,4) Maybe AutoItObjects have a sooper-secret $obj.__set($name,$val) function? I am looking for a workaround no matter how convoluted. Was thinking about maybe this might be feasible with a JScript COM helper, since I have built a AutoItObject ClassFactory anyhow. I would be able to create dynamic helper functions in JScript COM, that would stop me from writing: Func Set__WinStyle($me,$name,$bool) If False Then ElseIf $name=='Border' Then $me.Border=$bool ElseIf $name=='Popup' Then $me.Popup=$bool ElseIf $name=='Caption' Then $me.Caption=$bool ;etc,etc,etc JScript COM: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>
