Question

How do I use AutoitX (OCX/ActiveX library) in a .NET C# application without registering it?

In your C# project from Visual Studio, just go to Reference -> Add Reference -> Browse to your AutoIt dll and you're done. There's no need to register it seperately. But using this method you have to register.

A better way is to use the DLL directly, with [DllImport] statements. Here is a sample class that you can use: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/72905-c-use-of-the-dll-some-idears-for-you/

It defines functions like this:

[DllImport("AutoItX3.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static public extern int AU3_MouseUp([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string Button);
