DllCall is a powerful way to use AutoIt code to run functions that were created in other languages and are stored in shared libraries outside of AutoIt. With DllCall, you can call Windows APIs directly, execute pieces of code that shipped with another vendor's product, and pass information between that code and your own script. However, DllCall is intended for the advanced user who is already familiar with how that stuff works. That definitely isn't me, and I find the process of converting variable types, handling ByRefs with odd syntax, and keeping track of return values in an array cumbersome. So I wrote a script to help me with it. It should help beginners get started with DllCall too. I was a little surprised that I didn't find something like this on the forum already. Maybe the intended audience doesn't have the same trouble that I do, or maybe those who don't "get" it don't care enough to. I'm hoping to bridge that gap a little. With this script, you can input the information from the MSDN documentation on a DLL function straight into the GUI and it will generate AutoIt code to call it and return its data. You can choose whether to report debugging information via ConsoleWrite or MsgBox or neither. It doesn't handle fancy things like DllStructs and callbacks, but it may help you get started. A great tutorial I used when I was starting to learn this stuff myself is Dealing with DLLs in AutoIt by Andreas Karlsson. My script is intended as a programmatic approximation of the concepts on pages 1 to 8 of that document. It is not a replacement for a good tutorial and self-learning. I wrote it as a shortcut for my own future use because I only wanted to learn it once. :-) Here it is. I'm curious to know what you all think. #include <ComboConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiListView.au3> #include <ListViewConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:\Library\Repositories #NO BACKUP#\Google Drive - Toastyking\Development\Snippet Library\AutoIt\CodeWizards\DllCallCodegen\FormMain.kxf $FormMain = GUICreate("DllCall Code Generator", 825, 421) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("DLL Name", 16, 32, 55, 17) $InputDll = GUICtrlCreateInput("user32.dll", 120, 29, 121, 21) $Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Function Name", 16, 59, 76, 17) $InputFunc = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 120, 56, 121, 21) $RadioFuncAnsi = GUICtrlCreateRadio("ANSI", 256, 57, 49, 17) $RadioFuncUnicode = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Unicode", 312, 56, 73, 17) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED) $Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Return Type", 16, 85, 63, 17) $InputReturnType = GUICtrlCreateInput("int", 120, 82, 121, 21) $ComboCallConv = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 120, 110, 121, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL)) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "stdcall|cdecl") $ListViewParams = GUICtrlCreateListView("#|Type|Value|Method", 16, 245, 362, 126, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_LISTVIEW,$LVS_NOSORTHEADER)) GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, 50) GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, 50) GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 2, 50) GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 3, 50) $Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("For all types, use the type name specified on MSDN.", 16, 8, 251, 17) $Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Parameters:", 16, 136, 60, 17) $Label6 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Type", 24, 157, 28, 17) $Label7 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Value (0 for null)", 152, 157, 80, 17) $Label8 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Method", 280, 157, 39, 17) $InputParamType = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 24, 176, 121, 21) $InputParamValue = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 152, 176, 121, 21) $ComboParamByref = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 280, 176, 89, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL)) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Input/ByVal|Output/ByRef") $ButtonParamAdd = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add Parameter", 24, 213, 91, 25) $ButtonParamDelete = GUICtrlCreateButton("Clear All", 128, 213, 107, 25) $Label9 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Calling convention", 16, 112, 91, 17) $Label10 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Generated AutoIt code:", 409, 8, 115, 17) $EditCode = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 408, 29, 401, 342, BitOR($ES_READONLY,$WS_HSCROLL,$WS_VSCROLL)) $ButtonTest = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test Code", 344, 381, 107, 25) $ButtonCopy = GUICtrlCreateButton("Copy to Clipboard", 464, 381, 107, 25) $ButtonInsert = GUICtrlCreateButton("Insert in SciTE", 586, 381, 107, 25) $ButtonGenonly = GUICtrlCreateButton("Nothing Else", 704, 381, 107, 25) $ComboOutput = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 98, 383, 121, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL)) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "ConsoleWrite|MsgBox|$vDllCallReturn only") $Label11 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Output method:", 16, 387, 77, 17) $Label12 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Generate code and:", 232, 387, 99, 17) ;~ GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### Global $aParams[1][3] GUICtrlSetData($ComboParamByref,"Input/ByVal") GUICtrlSetData($ComboOutput,"ConsoleWrite") GUICtrlSetData($ComboCallConv,"stdcall") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $ButtonParamAdd _ConvertType(GUICtrlRead($InputParamType)) ; Use the parameter type selected If @error Then If MsgBox(49,"Unrecognized Type","Unrecognized parameter type """ & GUICtrlRead($InputParamType) & """.

Hi all, This script can add information about your computer to the system properties box: XP and below: LogoManufacturerModelSupport Information - 7 lines!Vista: LogoSupport HoursTelephone NumberLogos must be *.bmp however they are renamed to "oemlogo.bmp" anyway. The information is stored in oeminfo.ini found in the System(32) dir or in Vista everything is in the registry. Currently, SPW is not writing the information in Vista. If you are running XP or below, then you will have a normal GUI (different height). If you are running Vista and have a premium or ultimate edition then you can get the Aero Glass effect! Screenshot of new Vista GUI: [snipped Code] - OEMWizard.au3 Thank you to: Thanks to MHz who helped me with a function to add information about OEM Branding Wizard to the end of a *.ini! Thanks to Geo for the Vista System Properties guide and cutting fixing a possible error. To-Do/Done/Bugs: Bug: Vista support - All done! Bug: Vista not writing information correctly - Pfft, stupid me! Bug: Fix Temp OEM INI writing - Thanks Swift! To-Do: Spelling To-Do Optimize code by cutting it down- Loop maybe? - Current line count = 460 To-Do: Added Vista Aero Glass GUI Updates: Update 8-July-2008: I have added Vista Aero Glass to GUI, looking sexy! Fixed Vista Support although SPW is still not writing the data. James
