Using AutoItX3 in C#

[MichaelCowan]

As of right now, the project was recently scrapped and restarted. So you tell me.

If I had to guess, I would say the project failed because you are a jerk and no one wanted to work with you? I found the original post very useful and well intentioned, which is more than I can say for your responses.

A better person would have been more considerate and helpful in his criticisms. Although, I did find it humorous how slapped justdoit123 down and while padding your post count, that will teach him to ask clarification on one of your vague, but obviously superior posts.

Wow, you got my Gander up something fierce.

Anyone, if anyone needs some basic C# help getting this working message me and I can help answer some questions. I have been using C# for 8-9 years and autoit since v2

The project has been a solo project from the beginning. I never said it failed either. I said I got rid of my current progress and started over.

My responses are accurate. They don't need to be polite. Now that I've said that, show me where I have been inconsiderate.

You are a big boy, check out the definition of inconsiderate, then look back over your last few posts. I am sure a smart guy like you can figure it out.

Adj. 1. inconsiderate - lacking regard for the rights or feelings of others; "shockingly inconsiderate behavior"

selfish - concerned chiefly or only with yourself and your advantage to the exclusion of others;

tactless, untactful - lacking or showing a lack of what is fitting and considerate in dealing with others; "in the circumstances it was tactless to ask her age"

thoughtless - showing lack of careful thought; "the debate turned into thoughtless bickering"

[Richard Robertson]

Tell me how those posts are inconsiderate.

And if everyone is ignoring me, why do you feel the need to call me out?

[Boyan]

wow, dude - you ARE a jerk. The idea behind a forum is to help people - if you don't plan to provide anybody with a meaningful solution to their issue why post anything. It that aspect you are a jerk - and yes, I did ignore almost everything you had posted.

[Richard Robertson]

I don't care if I'm a jerk. Valik is a jerk too. I don't see you calling him out. I've contributed a lot to this forum whether you realize it or not. You can ask most of the members here and you will find that I am more helpful than not.

You two however are both disrupting these threads with off topic clutter that should have been sent via personal message.

Thanks but I want to know a thing. Is there a way to pass optional arguments? Type.Missing is not working. I need it for ControlClick.

Thanks...

C# doesn't support optional arguments. You have to provide a value, although you are always welcome to try a default value.

Yeah, C#4 will have it. Not really sure why Microsoft didn't support it earlier.

[jvanegmond]

This is how I solve optional arguments in C#:

public string Lolwut(int foo)
{
   return this.Lolwut(foo, 0); // 0 is default value for second param
}

public string Lolwut(int foo, int bar)
{
   return (foo + bar).ToString();
}

Edit: Forgot return on first Lolwut.

}

The code is still wrong. You named the "function without optional parameters" Foo, but you are calling Lolwut.

[jvanegmond]

Stupid. Function names should be the same obviously.

I shouldn't do inline C# writing. Makes me miss intellisense.

Thanks Outshynd (OP).

I found the post very useful and informative. It got me off to a quick start!

Was it over simplified? Nope, it was perfect communication, your example belongs in a book. Good work.

Hello to all!

I add reference to C# from AutoIt and work OK. Now I want to use some function that is not supported in AutoItX3.dll file (FF.au3). Is there any way that I can use FF function in C#?

Thanks for answers!

[Richard Robertson]

No. What function do you need? You can easily implement it in C# directly.

[ursek]

I need FireFox function. In autoIt file I just simply write #include #Include <FF.au3> than I can use function like _FFStart(),...

[Richard Robertson]

You'll have to translate the AutoIt code to C# then. No UDF is callable through AutoItX.

Can any one help me with that? I don't event know where to start it :S

Try finding a library that automates FireFox that is written for C#, they are not uncommon.

Start on Google or on the first result for "FireFox C#": http://stackoverflow.com/questions/137880/how-can-you-automate-firefox-from-c-application
