Is it possible - Execute DllCall from Array Topic is solved

[sancarn]

Hi all,

Say I have an array:

Code: Select all

arr:=["MessageBox", "Int", "0", "Str", "Press Yes or No", "Str", "Title of box", "Int", 4]

Is it possible to dynamically, for any array size, fill the arguments for DllCall such that this command is executed:

Code: Select all

WhichButton:=DllCall("MessageBox", "Int", "0", "Str", "Press Yes or No", "Str", "Title of box", "Int", 4)

Currently I can create a function but it wouldn't be dynamic:

Code: Select all

DynamicDll(args){
    if (args.length =3) {
        ret := DllCall(args[0],args[1],args[2])
    } else if (args.length = 5) {
        ret := DllCall(args[0],args[1],args[2],args[3],args[4])
    } ;... and so on
    return [ret,args]
}

Another potential option would be to generate the command as a string and then execute it with AHK_H...

And finally I assume it would be plausible to write (equivalent) code in C#/VB.Net and use CLR to execute said code.... It's pretty indirect but it has it's benefits - no need to install AHK_H.

Try variadic call:

Code: Select all

arr := ["MessageBox", "Int", "0", "Str", "Press Yes or No", "Str", "Title of box", "Int", 4]
MsgBox, % DllCall(arr*)

I hope that helps.
