Are there plans to develop COM-server supporting calls of AutoHotkey commands? For example, it would be useful if there were possibility to use AutoHotkey from VBScript. Besides it would be also quite good to have possibility to use AutoHotkey as a COM-client. I apologize if I've said nonsense Embarassed

I believe this has been asked a few times on these forums, asking either a DLL or an Active-X version of AHK.
Chris' answer, if I recall correctly, was it would be duplicate functionnality/work with AutoItX.
I don't know if both projects would cover exactly the same functionnalities, but perhaps you can use the above file as a workaround.

Here's a topic about intentions regardling COM/OLE: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4046

Another topic that might be of interest is: Using VBscript in ahk without a temporary file

Thank you. But what a pity that AutoHotkey doesn't have COM server! I believe, that AutoHotkey has huge amount of features which standard VBScript (Windows Script Host) lacks, for example, the call of Win32API, windowing, much better implementation of SendKey etc. In my opinion, COM server with AutoHotkey functionality would be a wonderful gift for VBScript developers and Windows administrators.
P.S. All the above is only IMHO.
