Michiel Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi. Just wondering: what are the limitations of AutoItX / using a different programming language and loading the AutoIt DLL versus programming in AutoIt itself? For example, which functions aren't available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

water Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) In the AutoItX directory you'll find a AutoItX.CHM file. The Method reference section will tell you what you want to know.

Michiel Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Thanks, I didn't know where to look inside the docs for an answer to this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daluu Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Basically AutoItX only gives you option to the GUI automation/control capabilities of AutoIt. You don't get the GUI creation features nor the 3rd party libraries for the additional functional support (IE browser, file system, networking, etc.) But then again if one was using AutoItX, you're likely to use the native capabilities of your programming platform for those missing features anyhow.

drego Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) You don't get the IE browser embed/automation? That sucks it's the one thing I would most want to add to an app in a different language. Edited January 19, 2015 by drego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I would imagine most higher level languages have that capability, It's quite trivial in C# for example.

BrewManNH Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 You should look at the IE.au3 UDF and see how it's done in there, it's a lot of objects and methods and some error checking. It isn't hard to do it in other languages once you understand how AutoIt does it. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post.

I kind of take back what I said, the stated limitation of AutoItX, could potentially be worked around or complemented by this solution to potentially expose the other AutoIt libraries/UDFs that are not exposed by AutoItX: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> http://sourceforge.net/projects/au3automation Although it sure would be nice if those UDFs, the ones packaged with AutoIt at least, were exposed by AutoItX.
