Hello, dear. I am a newbie in autoit language I don't master any other programming language. I also don't understand how to manage the DLL files In addition to all this I am blind, and as we all know the explanations provided for the blind in programming are very few. So I'm trying to rely on myself for learning. I work hard to design some simple software and tools that make it easier to use computers, as they perform some tasks that may be difficult for the blind. I am also looking for the programs that the blind need and cannot use it because it's haven't the compatibility with the screen reader, and i try to design a simple programs that do the same work. In these tools and programs I have to deal directly with screen readers, when i must to forcing these programs to read some processes and tasks that it cannot be read in normal mode. To force these programs to read, I have to deal with the API files. And as I said, I'm very weak in managing DLLs. So I hope you'll try to help me, please. I did a lot of research until I found the API file to manage the free screen reader (NVDA). It is open source It is based on CPP language and Python And I don't understand the both languages. For this I decided to put you an API file link here which is attached with it examples, source and DLL file I hope you can help me by convert these functions to AutoIt include file I offer you a very serious apology if the participation is a violation of the laws. I wish I could find here someone to help me. To download the file please click on this link http://www.nvda-project.org/nvdaControllerClient/nvdaControllerClient_20100219.7z and To download the free screen reader, please following this link https://www.nvaccess.org/download/ I repeat my apologies and thanks in advance.

Hi. While programming I often use ConsoleWrite() for debugging. If the script isn’t to big I often don’t do extra logging but let my ConsoleWrite()’s inside. Sometimes difficulties appear later when @compiled and weeks are gone. So my first thought often is let’s run the script and catch the console outs of my script. So I coded a console reader. There are two ways to start the buggy script. First via $cmdline send to the reader and second with drag’n’drop onto the readers gui. #include <AutoItConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <ColorConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <array.au3> #include <WinAPIProc.au3> #include <GuiEdit.au3> #include <GuiRichEdit.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Global $data = "" Global $g_aPID = [0] Global $g_bFreeze = False Global $g_iZaehler = 0 Global $g_hGUI = GUICreate("Console: StdoutRead" , 800, 800, -1, -1, $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit") Global $text = GUICtrlCreateEdit("",10,30,780,760, $ES_AUTOVSCROLL + $WS_VSCROLL + $ES_READONLY + $ES_NOHIDESEL) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED); + $GUI_FOCUS) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 9, -1, -1, "Lucida Console") GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKBORDERS) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_DROPPED, "_Dropped") _GUICtrlEdit_SetLimitText($text, 8388608) ; a filesize about 1mb Global $g_LaZeilen = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Zeilen: " & StringFormat("% 5d", $g_iZaehler), 680, 10, 100, 9, $SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP, $WS_EX_LAYERED) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 9, -1, -1, "Lucida Console") GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKRIGHT + $GUI_DOCKTOP + $GUI_DOCKSIZE) Global $g_hCbFreeze = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("&Freeze", 13, 5, 90) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 9, -1, -1, "Lucida Console") GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKALL) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($g_hCbFreeze, "_Freeze") Global $g_hBuCopy = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Copy All", 125, 5, 70, 20) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 9, -1, -1, "Lucida Console") GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKALL) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($g_hBuCopy, "_Copy") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then _ViaCmdline() _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($text, $CmdLine[1] & @CRLF) EndIf Global $sText = StringFormat("% 5d", $g_iZaehler) & @TAB _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($text, $sText) Local $nextline While 1 If $g_aPID[0] > 0 Then $nextline = _ConsoleReadLine() $nextline = StringReplace($nextline, @CRLF, @CRLF & StringFormat("% 5d", $g_iZaehler) & @TAB) $sText = $nextline If $g_bFreeze = False Then _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($text, $sText) EndIf GUICtrlSetData($g_LaZeilen, "Zeilen: " & StringFormat("% 5d", $g_iZaehler)) EndIf _ProcessExist() WEnd #region - Funcs Func _ConsoleReadLine() Local $Result,$crPos While True _ProcessExist() For $i = 1 To $g_aPID[0] $data &= StdoutRead($g_aPID[$i]) If @error Then ExitLoop Next $crPos = StringInStr($data, @CRLF) If $crPos Then $Result = StringLeft($data, $crPos) & @CRLF $data = StringRight($data, StringLen($data) - $crPos) $g_iZaehler += 1 Return $Result EndIf WEnd Return SetError(1, 1, $data) EndFunc Func _Dropped() Local $hPID = Run(@GUI_DragFile, "", Default, $STDERR_MERGED) ConsoleWrite("DROP: " & $hPID & " " & @GUI_DragFile & @CRLF) _ArrayAdd($g_aPID, $hPID) $g_aPID[0] = UBound($g_aPID) - 1 EndFunc Func _ViaCmdline() Local $hPID = Run($CmdLine[1], "", Default, $STDERR_MERGED) ConsoleWrite("CMDLINE: " & $hPID & " " & $CmdLine[1] & @CRLF) _ArrayAdd($g_aPID, $hPID) $g_aPID[0] = UBound($g_aPID) - 1 EndFunc Func _Freeze() $g_bFreeze = Not $g_bFreeze ConsoleWrite("FREEZE: " & $g_bFreeze & @CRLF) GUICtrlSetState($text, $GUI_FOCUS) EndFunc Func _Copy() ConsoleWrite("COPY" & @CRLF) ClipPut(GUICtrlRead($text)) EndFunc Func _ProcessExist() For $i = $g_aPID[0] To 1 Step - 1 If Not ProcessExists($g_aPID[$i]) Then ConsoleWrite("GONE: " & $g_aPID[$i] & @CRLF) _ArrayDelete($g_aPID, $i) $g_aPID[0] = UBound($g_aPID) - 1 EndIf Next EndFunc Func _Exit() If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then ; if reader is started by $cmdline then no script will exit but reader For $i = 1 To $g_aPID[0] ConsoleWrite("KILL: " & $g_aPID[$i] & " " & _WinAPI_GetProcessFileName($g_aPID[$i]) & @CRLF) ProcessClose($g_aPID[$i]) Next EndIf ConsoleWrite("EXIT" & @CRLF) Exit EndFunc #endregion Funcs Maybe someone will find it useful too. One last remark. If only one script is given via $cmdline to the reader no scripts will exit if consolereader exits. But otherwise all scripts dropped onto the readers gui will exit too. This is by design. If you want to change this do it inside func _exit(). Regards, Conrad P.S. Possibly some #includes are not necessary anymore but have been while scripting.

Hi guys! I've created this UDF to work with Nitgen fingerprint readers that use NGenBio SDK. I'm working with Hamster DX for testing purposes: So, the UDF still needs a lot of functionalities but what is already written is enough to do most of the tasks you would want to do with a fingerprint scanner (registering, authentication of a user, identification of a person among many users etc.). I've put it on GitHub because it will be constantly updated. Also, if you want to help, feel free to clone and send pull requests Examples: #include 'NGenBio.au3' ; Enumerate devices $numberOfDevices = _NEnumerate() ; Enumerate all connected devices If Not $numberOfDevices Then Exit ; no device connected _NOpen() ; Open device (no argument = open latest connected device) ; ====================================================================== ; Example 1: just get a fingerprint and display the string associated to it MsgBox(0, "Your fingerprint means:", _NCapture()) ; ====================================================================== ; Example 2: verification (expecting for a specified person) ; Ask for name (to show how to work with payloads and store info on the fingerprint data) $sName = InputBox("Test", "Enter your name") $tmpData = _NEnroll($sName) ; Register a fingerprint (we will have a string to save in DB if we want; $sName will be saved together with the data) If Not $tmpData Then Exit ; User canceled $check = _NVerify($tmpData) ; Verify fingerprint (from the string that the registration gave us - it could have come from a database) If $check Then MsgBox(0, '', 'That''s you, ' & $check & "!") ; Correct fingerprint Else MsgBox(0, '', 'That''s not you!') ; Wrong fingerprint EndIf ; ====================================================================== ; Example 3: identification (expecting for anyone of a group of persons) ; Add the already saved FIR data from the previous example as ID #1 _NSearch_Add($tmpData, 1) MsgBox(0, "", "You are now user 1. Please call someone else to register (or use different fingers/hand) to test the registration of a second person.") $secondPersonName = InputBox("Test", "What's the name of the second person?") ; Get data $secondperson = _NEnroll($secondPersonName) _NSearch_Add($secondperson, 2) ; Let's ask for the fingerprint to search for $capture = _NCapture() $user = _NSearch_Identify($capture) If $user Then MsgBox(0, "", "User: " & $user) Else MsgBox(0, "", "User not found!") EndIf _NClose() ; Close device (no argument = close latest opened device) Note that you must install NGenBio SDK (although my system is x64, I only had success after installing the x86 version). More details, documentation and link to download the SDK on the readme file. Get it on Github
