AutoItObject Internal

Provides easy object creation via IDispatch interface.

Example

#include "AutoItObject_Internal.au3"
$myCar = IDispatch()
$myCar.make = 'Ford'
$myCar.model = 'Mustang'
$myCar.year = 1969
$myCar.__defineGetter('DisplayCar', DisplayCar)

Func DisplayCar($oThis)
	Return 'A Beautiful ' & $oThis.parent.year & ' ' & $oThis.parent.make & ' ' & $oThis.parent.model
EndFunc

MsgBox(0, "", $myCar.DisplayCar)

The way this library implements objects is to mimic javascript object behavior and functionality.

This approach was chosen for it's ease of use and for developers to be able to "jump right in" without learning a whole new syntax.
