AutoHotkey Community

first of all i would like to thanks all our members for quick responses...i want one favour from all of you regarding the posted topic........

maybe in fewdays i have to tell my supervisor that which tool is better to use to automate a GUI application...from my point of view i think autohotkey is far better than finalbuilder and autoit

So is it possible for you people to post the advantages and disadvantages of FinalBuilder,AutoIt and Autohotkey so tht i can convince my supervisor to develop the application in Autohotkey

I had not heard of FinalBuilder until your post.
So with the limited information of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinalBuilder,
I'd suggest FB is not a tool to "... to use to automate a GUI application"

Instead, why don't you automate some simple Gui application?

yes you are right because with finalbuilder we cant execute a file from command prompt, also their are not many functions like autohotkey like clicking,imagesearch,.....etc.

so is Autohotkey better than Autoit because i see that mostly all library functions are same but there must be something which makes autohotkey better than autoit

AutoHotkey seems far more accessible.

Ive looked into AutoIt, and didnt like it.

The manual for AHK is a work of art imo.

even i think in the same way....well do you have any idea that whether it will be the same if use it on Windows 7???

More or less. Yes.

ok thanks lets see how it works maybe i will try it out on someones pc where windows7 is installed

well in general chat section i found few postings regarding its compatability with windows 7 and the good news is that its working on windows 7...well i will try more to make it more clear

Quoted for truth

I was thinking about switching to AutoIt, then Lexikos released AutoHotkey_L with object support. Now, IMO, AHK is much better than AutoIt.

same reasoning for me except i also apreciate stricter syntax. but if the unicode and ahk_l versions ever get merged to the main i think i will be just as content

To mine opinion, there is no match to ahk at this moment.

AutoHotkey is unmatched and has about won the "war" over AutoIT, though it was really just a quasi-war over preferences, in the first place.

IronAHK blows the doors off. It is like bringing out a nuke in WW2. AutoHotkey as .NET/Mono and running on Windows or Linux is just crazy.

The only place you can go after that, is to go codeless and visual. That language is Limnor.

Limnor , http://www.limnor.com/ , has a new version out that works with Visual Studio. It allows you to create C# programs with almost no coding and visually.

I think IronAHK (automation orientated) and Limnor (plays nice with databases among other things) compliment each other tremendously as .NET languages and create some very interesting possibilities.

I'm actually rather completely new to AHK but I was into AutoIT a while back. The script language was concentrated heavily on Windows XP. None of my Vista using friends could run any scripts I compiled and sent. When I upgraded to Windows 7 recently I found myself without a quick and handy little script tool which doesn't take much to learn and is rather self commenting.

Hence, me switching to AutoHotKeys once I heard about it. I would recommend AHK for your project, simply because it's more versatile.
