RemoteObj.ahk

Access objects remotely over a TCP/IP network. See it in action on Imgur!

Dependencies

• AutoHotkey-JSON\Jxon.ahk by Cocobelgica
• Socket.ahk

Usage

Publishing an Object to the Network

Code: Select all

ObjToPublish := new Test() ; This is the object that will be published
Bind_Addr := "127.0.0.1" ; Only accept connections from localhost
Bind_Port := 1337 ; Listen for connections on port 1337

Server := new RemoteObj(ObjToPublish, [Bind_Addr, Bind_Port])

class Test {
	InputBox(Prompt) {
		InputBox, Out, % this.Title, %Prompt%
		return Out
	}
}

Connecting to a Published Object

Code: Select all

Remote_Addr := "127.0.0.1" ; Connect to local host
Remote_Port := 1337 ; Connect to port 1337

Remote := new RemoteObjClient([Remote_Addr, Remote_Port])

Remote.Title := "Hello World!"
MsgBox, % Remote.InputBox("Type something!")

Thank you! Very easy to use.

An example of connecting to server using computer name:

Server:

Code: Select all

ObjToPublish := new Test() ; This is the object that will be published
Bind_Addr := A_IPAddress1 ; Local IP (it looks like 192.168.1.xxx)
Bind_Port := 1337 ; Listen for connections on port 1337

Server := new RemoteObj(ObjToPublish, [Bind_Addr, Bind_Port])

class Test {
	InputBox(Prompt) {
		InputBox, Out, % this.Title, %Prompt%
		return Out
	}
}

Client:

Code: Select all

Ping4("The_Server_Computer_Name", Result) ; Ping4 by just me -- https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&p=167334
If (ErrorLevel) {
	MsgBox, 16, Ping4, Error:`r`n%ErrorLevel%
	ExitApp
}

Remote_Addr := Result.IPAddr
Remote_Port := 1337 ; Connect to port 1337

Remote := new RemoteObjClient([Remote_Addr, Remote_Port])

Remote.Title := "Hello World!"
MsgBox, % Remote.InputBox("Type something!")

Hi @GeekDude and @tmplinshi ,

How can I send only string or variable back and forth without gui?

Also not only one varible, but one, two or more?

Also this is not working when I am outside of company. Why?
Is there command for timeout if client can not be connected to server?

Thanks,
Blue

Cool! Superb stuff as usual GeekDude.

@blue83 I'd assume that using the Socket.ahk (linked above) is all you need in your case.

Hi @BNOLI ,

Ok, looks promising, but I can not find any example of just sending string and another example of accepting that string.
I need straith client-server relation.

Can you help?

Thanks,
Blue

@blue83 Not really, I'd also be interested to see a working sample of a UDP(/TCP) server/client connection using Socket.ahk
Maybe 'the magician' AKA @GeekDude himself can shed some light on this??

I once something, but because my answer is only to the socket I moved the code there.

Hi @GeekDude ,

This is working fine when I am connected with VPN to my company network, but I need this to work from any network and computer with my company computer on company network?

Any idea?

Thanks,
Blue

I think this will only work in your local net.
