Can you give examples of some tasks?

Hello,
AutoIT Does the job well. It has an application that will tell you
window names and lot of nice tools. It uses a vb like lang to program.

I'm also using the AutoIT DLL driven by Ruby scripts. It really works
great and already has saved me a lot of key-presses and mouse-clicks.

Anybody have any samples of ruby/au3 scripts that are a bit more in
depth than the wiki example?

No. But here's a script I just moved over to Ruby.

On a whim I started wrapping methods so that the core script would be a
bit tidier.

# Launch Firefox and check gmail for that
# special v1agr4 offer
require 'win32ole'

def set_up
@au3 = WIN32OLE.new("AutoItX3.Control")
@au3.opt("WinTextMatchMode", 2)
end

def browse_to( url )
@au3.Run( "e:\\Firefox\\firefox.exe #{url}" )
end

def enter
@au3.Send( "{ENTER}" )
end

def tab
@au3.Send( "{TAB}" )
end


def wait( n )
@au3.Sleep( n.to_i )
end

def send s
@au3.Send( s.to_s )
end

def wait_for_title t
@au3.WinWaitActive( t.to_s )
end


set_up
name = 'my.name'
password = 'fake-password'
browse_to 'http://www.gmail.com'
wait_for_title "Welcome to Gmail"
# Make sure whole page has
# load over flakey WiFi
sleep 5
send name
tab
send password
enter
# The end.

Thanks much for the example, gives me a good place to start.

Good question. The DLL is going to get loaded, I think, by the WIN32OLE
wrapper, no? So it needs to know where t look, or the dll has to be
someplace it knows to look.

Does the AutoIT.dll have to be registered (via regsvr32 or something)
before win32ole can use it?

Time to go experiment ...
