AutoIT - automate windows tasks

[nanix84]

---

I don't know if you guys have tried this scripting language
that is mostly used to automate stuffs at your windows OS.
It is a VB like language but it's much more easier compare to lots of codes in VB.



AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying "runtimes" required!

Create windows applications(example given: media player)

Spoiler! 

Simulate mouse movements: (WOW BOT)

Spoiler! 

AutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to reliably automate and configure thousands of PCs. Over time it has become a powerful language that supports complex expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect.

Features:

* Easy to learn BASIC-like syntax
* Simulate keystrokes and mouse movements
* Manipulate windows and processes
* Interact with all standard windows controls
* Scripts can be compiled into standalone executables
* Create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
* COM support
* Regular expressions
* Directly call external DLL and Windows API functions
* Scriptable RunAs functions
* Detailed helpfile and large community-based support forums
* Compatible with Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT4 / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 2008
* Unicode and x64 support
* Digitally signed for peace of mind
* Works with Windows Vista's User Account Control (UAC)

AutoIt has been designed to be as small as possible and stand-alone with no external .dll files or registry entries required making it safe to use on Servers. Scripts can be compiled into stand-alone executables with Aut2Exe.

Also supplied is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called AutoItX that allows you to add the unique features of AutoIt to your own favourite scripting or programming languages!

Best of all, AutoIt continues to be FREE

Capable mn sya mka read og values na naa sa imo windows form sa?
if so pwede xa gamiton make og automated testing tool para mo test sa gdevelop nimo na applications.
para ma automate niya ang windows then i check niya if correct ba ang values na nka display sa window. hehehe. Nice sya for blackbox testing if pwede.

pwede na xya brad.. as long as windows applications
then.. you'll just need to inspect the element of that program that holds the value
using the autoIT tool which is included in the AutoIT package/installer

I've been using this for my automated black box testing and also white box testing... but it is not purely automation.. it can do more other stuff on windows OS system.

Nice..Wala pa ko ka try sa windows based applications..more on web pa. Thanks for the info

I use AutoHotKey (AHK). But this one requires more programming skills I guess.
