Auto IT

[Rksk]

There is a very easy and useful scripting language, named AUTO IT.
It can be downloaded from www.autoitscript.com .

i will can help you to be a autoit programmer.

[Rksk]

There is an example to tell you "What we can do with AUTOIT?"

download this zip and extract this 2 files to a directory.
then run it with AUTOIT3 < http://www.autoitscript.com >
*you must set your screen resolution to 1024*768 or higher to run this correctly.

it will run MSpaint and draw a srilankan flag
with automated mouse movements and clicks.
But you can't modify this code because it is obfucated due to it is secret script.

There is the start of code.
you will can learn using it.

Code: Select all

	ProcessClose("mspaint.exe")
	
		Opt("WinWaitDelay", 15)
		Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
		Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)
		Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
		Opt("GUICloseOnESC", 1)
		RegDelete("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Paint")

		Run("mspaint.exe")

		Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
				
		WinWait("untitled - Paint", "Colors")
		If Not WinActive("untitled - Paint", "Colors") Then WinActivate("untitled - Paint", "Colors")
		WinSetTrans("untitled - Paint", "", 230)
		WinSetOnTop("untitled - Paint", "Colors", 1)
		WinWaitActive("untitled - Paint", "Colors")

Interesting.... It is the first time that I heard of it thanks to our team mate RkskEkanayaka.
It's like an advanced batch processing script to me (kind of an advance .bat file)

[Rksk]

But anyone hasn't downloaded the code yet.

Mr. neo pls test it yourself and tell what you think!

[Neo]

Very sorry on that. I'm too busy these days and will do that as time permits.

Download AutoIT3 from here http://www.autoitscript.com/files/autoi ... -setup.exe

it is only 8MB !

There is an example code in AutoIT on CD tray controller.

After runnig this script, you will see a small bar on the Right corner of the screen. Move the moue point on to it. then you will see the window for controlling.

First we can study a simple automation script.
It Plays with the calculator.

There is the code with step by step descriptions.

if you have any question reply in this post.

Code: Select all

; Script Function:
;   Plays with the calculator.
;


; Prompt the user to run the script - use a Yes/No prompt (4 - see help file)
$answer = MsgBox(4, "AutoIt Example (English Only)", "This script will run the calculator and type in 2 x 4 x 8 x 16 and then quit.  Run?")


; Check the user's answer to the prompt (see the help file for MsgBox return values)
; If "No" was clicked (7) then exit the script
If $answer = 7 Then
    MsgBox(0, "AutoIt", "OK.  Bye!")
    Exit
EndIf


; Run the calculator
Run("calc.exe")


; Wait for the calulator become active - it is titled "Calculator" on English systems
WinWaitActive("Calculator")


; Now that the calc window is active type 2 x 4 x 8 x 16
; Use AutoItSetOption to slow down the typing speed so we can see it :)
AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 400)
Send("2*4*8*16=")
Sleep(2000) 


; Now quit by sending a "close" request to the calc
WinClose("Calculator")


; Now wait for calc to close before continuing
WinWaitClose("Calculator")


; Finished!

My second example Plays with the notepad.

There is the code with step by step descriptions.

if you have any question reply in this post.

Code: Select all

; Script Function:
;   Opens Notepad, types in some text and then quits.
;


; Prompt the user to run the script - use a Yes/No prompt (4 - see help file)
$answer = MsgBox(4, "AutoIt Example (English Only)", "This script will run Notepad type in some text and then quit.  Run?")


; Check the user's answer to the prompt (see the help file for MsgBox return values)
; If "No" was clicked (7) then exit the script
If $answer = 7 Then
    MsgBox(0, "AutoIt", "OK.  Bye!")
    Exit
EndIf


; Run Notepad
Run("notepad.exe")


; Wait for the Notepad become active - it is titled "Untitled - Notepad" on English systems
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")


; Now that the Notepad window is active type some text
Send("Hello from Notepad.{ENTER}1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10{ENTER}")
Sleep(500)
Send("+{UP 2}")
Sleep(500)


; Now quit by pressing Alt-f and then x (File menu -> Exit)
Send("!f")
Send("x")


; Now a screen will pop up and ask to save the changes, the window is called
; "Notepad" and has some text "Yes" and "No"
WinWaitActive("Notepad")
Send("n")


; Now wait for Notepad to close before continuing
WinWaitClose("[CLASS:Notepad]")


; Finished!
