Use AHK_L/COM_L.
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic22923-429.html

So, what I've been using is outdated?

COM is now built into AHK:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic58237.html

However, this native COM doesn't support named parameters, but, it allows up to 50 parameters, which is practically no limit.

COM_CreateObject always return null in COM_L.
Plz check it.

there are 2 versions of COM one for the vanilla ahk and one for ahk_l. Please ensure you have the right version with the right version. the only way create object returns 0 or blank is if your ProgID is invalid or not properly registered.

Did you check the variable with IsObject() to verify that no object has been retrieved? A variable which houses an object will return null if you check it like a normal variable.

So COM_CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") will return an object in COM for AHK_L other than a handle as in COM for mainstream AHK?

Correct, if you want to check if the variable COM_CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") was saved to represents an object use the IsObject() function.

Basic Webpage Controls

Hi, I've been wondering for a long time for using this library, but I havent found any documentation about the commands Could someone please help me started?

COM is not a Library in the normal sense - COM is an interface to make Programms/Librarys compatible to other Languages.

So, what is it capable to improve in AHK? How could I benefit with COM?

You can easily control Programs which are COM compatible. For Example Outlook - you can use COM to let Outlook do anything you want.

All the Office Programs have COM included and many others too.

I see. I've been reading the tutorial about the basic webpage controls with COM and with searching I've also found iWebBrowser2 Learner. The iWebBrowser2 Learner seems to be pretty, I was impressed how detailed information I got about the values and the controls (name, id & stuff..).
If I've understood right, I could make highly automated softwares for webapplications, like client-based facebook ( ) or maybe a bot for browserbased game, could I?

Well, maybe some practising first. May I request a sample script which could messagebox current IE windows current controls details via hotkey. Just like the iWebBrowser2 Learner does, but into GUI. I guess I could make it myself, reading from iWebBrowser2 Learner's source, but it's pretty hard to understand (as far as I've read it..).

Please, don't understand me wrong. I hope I dont bother you guys, too much and I post to right thread.

Hey,
I think, I just did it.. somehow , just need help to get the very current controls value. Eh, my code:

I know it's like 666% of copypaste, but however, just testing
