Make your First Prog.

[Cyrus]

This is an extremely basic guide. Autoit Programming. All knowledge acquired from Doctuh.

1) Okay so the first thing you need to do is download these programs in this order.


For the first one make sure you choose Editor
AutoIt v3 - Downloads

Choose the full download
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/...beta-setup.exe

Just download this one
http://www.autoitscript.com/cgi-bin/...TE4AutoIt3.exe

2) Now go and open SciTE

3) Once you have opened SciTE, enter this code on line one

 $var = InputBox ("QUESTION!", "What is your name?")

4) Now on the second line enter

MsgBox (0, "Your name is", $var)

5) Now click, File, Beta Run

6) Your program should Pop Up and you enter the answer! All done

CONGRATZ YOU MADE YOUR FIRST PROG

Security Question:

$passwd = InputBox("Security Check", "Enter your password.", "", "*")
$answer = InputBox("Question", "Where were you born?", "Planet Earth", "", _
    -1, -1, 0, 0)
    $value = InputBox("Testing", "Enter the 1 or 2 character code.", "", " M2")
    MsgBox(4096, "Correct", "This box will time out in 10 seconds", 10)

Closing Box (Choose Time):

$memory = InputBox("milliseconds left","how long to read text? Pick only a number and a good one.")


Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
send("This is a text that was created by autoit v3.0,{ENTER} a very good piece of work. now you have")
send("{ENTER}")
send($memory)
send("millaseconds to read this message.")
sleep($memory)
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
WinWaitActive("Notepad", "Do you want to save")
Send("!y")
winwaitactive("Save As")
send("hello.txt")
send("{ENTER}")
winwaitactive("Save As");overwrites the file if needed. Careful if you have a file name like this.
send("!y")

Or you can do something like

$passwd = InputBox("Security Check", "Enter your password.", "", "*")
$answer = InputBox("Question", "Where were you born?", "Planet Earth", "", _
    -1, -1, 0, 0)
    $value = InputBox("Testing", "Enter the 1 or 2 character code.", "", " M2")
    MsgBox(4096, "Correct", "This box will time out in 10 seconds", 10)

Checkers, mind if I add that to the guide. I will just be adding more to it as I learn.

No, go ahead.

checkers, thank you, you have helped me make this code. (by experimenting)

$memory = InputBox("milliseconds left","how long to read text? Pick only a number and a good one.")


Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
send("This is a text that was created by autoit v3.0,{ENTER} a very good piece of work. now you have")
send("{ENTER}")
send($memory)
send("millaseconds to read this message.")
sleep($memory)
WinClose("Untitled - Notepad")
WinWaitActive("Notepad", "Do you want to save")
Send("!y")
winwaitactive("Save As")
send("hello.txt")
send("{ENTER}")
winwaitactive("Save As");overwrites the file if needed. Careful if you have a file name like this.
send("!y")

It give you a number timing. You pick the time, and before it closes, it will wait that much time. (good for my first "on my own" script. But only thanks to checkers part that I could make the time part.)
ps: Add it if you want.

I may start working with autoit, My all purpose language would work with that first program like this

result = Dialog.Input("enter", "input:", "", MB_ICONQUESTION);
Dialog.Message("what you put in", result, MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
