Not direct invocation but you can control them through NativeProcess that can pass a command of argument and received standard output from the application like Command Prompt. That right, AIR is made to be as portable as possible.
For your case, you can use .Net or C# to automate those task. For easier coding, consider AutoIT which is widely use by System Admin to automate routine tasks, you can do a simple control like mouse and window position to advance control like hook DLL. I did used AutoIT in the past. On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 12:07 PM, MicC <chigwel...@yahoo.com> wrote: > ** > > > Does AIR have enough hooks to the os to create an automation app?
