Autoit/fm Integration

[fseipel]

Attached is an FM DB which runs an autoit script which listens on port 33891; any request to

http://YOURIP:33891/ or http://YOURCOMPUTERNAME:33891

will trigger the 'Show Message' filemaker script. Autoit must be installed. This is based on the autoit TcpRecv example.

The script 'Initialize TCP listener' will start the autoit script which listens. Presently, browser won't display anything when script fires, though a message could be sent back to browser that script had been fired.

An autoit GUI window displays when server is listening. Closing GUI window stops listening.

The other scripts demonstrate controlling a WebViewer with COM, clicking on links and submitting forms dynamically, by attaching to the COM object corresponding to the embedded viewer.

The script demonstrates callbacks by dynamically replacing the autoit script reference to the current path of the Filemaker file. This example uses username: admin, password: <blank> in the ACTIVEX request which runs an FM macro from autoit. autoit scripts are stored in the temporary path, and a script is provided to open that filepath to view the script source code.autoIt_FM_Example.zip

This is meant as a proof-of-concept.
