AutoHotkey Community

I found the project of HotkeyIT on GitHub, and AutoHotkey_H master branch contains lib and exp files without header files or function names. I don't know how to use the AHKDll project either.

I also found AutoHotkey_H v1 project, but after extracting it, there are several DLL files without header files or function names. I tried testing it based on an example from an old forum post in 2015, but it was unsuccessful.

https://github.com/HotKeyIt/ahkdll-v1-release


I also looked for the DOC file and read it （https://hotkeyit.github.io/v1/docs/AutoHotkey.htm）, but the examples inside were not written in C++. Could someone give me some guidance? Where can I find relevant materials on how to use AHK's functionality by calling autohotkey.dll in C++?


[Mod action: Moved topic from “Ask for Help (v1)” to this section dedicate to AHK_H.]

You should be able to find the answers to your questions in the section of the forum that your thread was moved to, which is dedicated to AHK_H. Check both here in “Ask for Help” and in its parent forum.

this is what you want in order to grab the .dll file that you would use to call functions from c++
what specifically didnt work when you tried to follow that old tutorial?

so yeah the docs are mostly geared towards using either the AHK_H.exe specific features, or calling the .dll from within AHK

you can find some of the docs for the .dll features here:
https://hotkeyit.github.io/v1/docs/AutoHotkeyDll.htm
and follow that section in the sidebar

here is another old post where HotKeyIt says where the .dll functions are defined:

thanks，I'll try it
