Mini-Framework for AutoHotkey
Library of Mini-Framework Copyright (c) 2013 - 2017 Paul Moss Licensed under the GNU General Public License GPL-2.0
Requires AutoHotkey {v1.1.21+}
Mini-Framework is as collection of classes built for AutoHotkey that help give functionality similar to a strongly typed language.
Mini-Framework attempts to bridge the gap between the powerful scripting language of AutoHotkey and a more strongly typed language. The classes are built in a Mono/.Net style.
The MfType class can be used to get information from an object. All objects have a GetType() method that returns an instance of the MfType class. All object inherit from MfObject and therefore inherit all the methods of MfObject.
The Mini-Framework classes are built with the power of strongly type objects while maintaining flexibility with AutoHotkey variables. Many of the classes accept variables as parameters in their methods. Overloades are made possible Mini-Framework.
All the Classes are prefixed in Root System Namespace with Mf to help avoid any conflicts with naming conventions and variables in existing projects.
There is also a package available for Sublime Text to give intellisense and syntax highlighting to Mini-Framework.
All list and collectins use a Zero-Based index.
There are classes that represent Object, Boolean, String, Byte, Int16, Int32, Int64 and Float.
Mini-Framework also has many built in Exceptions as well for refined error control.
There are many other classes incldued in the Mini-Framework as well.
Installation of Mini-Framework is simple and can be installed with a single installer.
