Java and AutoIt - Automating the calculator application using autoitx4java

autoitx4java is useful for testing the Windows applications using the AutoIt.

For more information on 'autoitx4java' check the url https://code.google.com/p/autoitx4java/

1. Download 'AutoItX4Java.jar'.
https://code.google.com/p/autoitx4java/downloads/list

2. Copy the 'AutoItX4Java.jar' file to the 'lib' folder of the project(i.e. Eclipse IDE Project).

3. Download JACOB.

https://code.google.com/archive/p/autoitx4java/

4. Extract the 'jacob-1.18-M2.zip' file.

5. Copy the below file in the 'lib' folder of the project.

6. Download 'AutoIt'.
https://code.google.com/archive/p/autoitx4java/

7. Extract the 'autoit-v3.zip' file.

8. AutoIt Inspector - for inspecting the UI elements.

9.Set the java build path for 

- AutoItX4Java.jar

- jacob.jar

10. Create a java class.

11. Execute the program(Sample Program is added in the end of the page).

Note: Unable to execute the program, since AutoIt is not registered in the windows registry

Below steps guides you in adding AutoIt to the windows registry.

12. Open the 'CommandPrompt' as 'Administrator'

13. After extracting the 'autoit-v3.zip' file, navigate to the folder 'autoit-v3\install\AutoItX' in the extracted zip file.

Navigate to the 'autoit-v3\install\AutoItX'(i.e. extracted 'autoit-v3.zip') in the command prompt.

14. Add the 'AutoIt' to the registry.

If you are using 'Java 32bit', run the below command in the 'Command Prompt':

regsvr32.exe AutoItX3.dll

If you are using 'Java 64bit', run the below command in the 'Command Prompt':

regsvr32.exe AutoItX3_x64.dll

15.Execute the program again(Sample Program is added in the end of the page), after setting the AutoIt in windows registry.

}

//Click the Number in the calculator application.

private void clickNumber(int number) throws InterruptedException{

   control.controlClick(APPLICATION_TITLE, "", calcNumPad_ObjectRepository.get(Character.digit(sNumber.charAt(i), 10)));

   Thread.sleep(1000);

}

Troubleshooting: 
Make sure you are using the correct version of Jacob and AutoItX3 dlls. Since both come in x86 and x64 versions.
