How To Paint a Picture and To Store It With ABAP Automatically

[stefan_schnell]

I posted here the message of a new AutoIt version. AutoIt includes a COM library, called AutoItX, with a subset of the AutoIt scripting language commands. So it is easy possible to control the frontend server. In my case I create inside ABAP a JPG picture with MSPaint and store it in the temporary directory automatically. Also it is uploaded and stored in MIME repository. With the AutoItX library it is absolut easy to control mouse, keyboard, window and process management. And on this way is it also absolut easy that ABAP controls the frontend server.

This is only a funny example but it shows impressively what is possible.
