    text
    copied!<p>I successfully downloaded the Autohotkey_H 1.1 package from</p> <p><a href="http://www.autohotkey.net/~HotKeyIt/AutoHotkey/files/AutoHotkey-txt.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.autohotkey.net/~HotKeyIt/AutoHotkey/files/AutoHotkey-txt.html</a></p> <p>I then successfully registered the Win32w version (in the "Win32w" folder) of the AutoHotkey.dll with regsvr32.</p> <p>Then I started Visual Studio 2012, started a new Project and referenced the DLL in the project successfully.</p> <p>The project has only the following code:</p> <pre><code>class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { CoCOMServer ahkThread = new CoCOMServer(); } } </code></pre> <p>upon running the code, the following error occurs:</p> <p><a href="http://imageshack.us/f/822/pn3y.png" rel="nofollow">http://imageshack.us/f/822/pn3y.png</a> (StackOverflowException in mscorlib.dll)</p> <p>I am using Windows 7 64 bit. The error occurs on 2 different machines with the SAME setup.</p> <p>Has anyone successfully used the DLL with Visual Studio and give me some hints on what you did differently?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Also, this does NOT work in VB:</p> <pre><code>Sub atest() Dim AhkCom As Object Set AhkCom = CreateObject("AutoHotkey.Script") AhkCom.ahktextdll("MsgBox Hello World!" &amp; Chr(13) &amp; "ExitApp") End Sub </code></pre> <p>And neiter does this:</p> <pre><code>dynamic ahk = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("AutoHotkey.Script.UNICODE")); ahk.ahktextdll("msgbox hello world"); </code></pre> <p>And this <strong>DOES</strong> work in Autohotkey itsself:</p> <pre><code>AhkCom := ComObjCreate("AutoHotkey.Script") AhkCom.ahktextdll("MsgBox Hello World!`nExitApp") While AhkCom.ahkReady() Sleep, 100 MsgBox Exiting now </code></pre> <p>Last one proves that the DLL is, in fact, working.</p> <p>In fact it shows very clearly that the problem is Visual Studio specific. Tried 2010 aswell by now.</p> <p>If someone can tell me what I am doing wrong I would be eternally grateful. Do I need to specify more than those 2-4 lines of code? Do something with Interop? I have no clue.</p>
