Joshua, I think this will work,
<cfobject type="com" action="Connect" class="NextPage.NPOptions" name="anObject"> <cfset myMethod=anObject.Item("title")> <cfset myMethod="Title"> Or With <CFScript> <cfscript> anObject=CreateObject("Com","NextPage.NPOptions")' myMethod=anObject.Item("title"); myMethod="Title"; </cfscript> Jason Lees Systems Developer National Express Coaches Ltd. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua O'Connor-Rose [mailto:whifflebat@;hotmail.com] Sent: 12 November 2002 16:08 To: CF-Talk Subject: CFOBJECT and conversion from ASP New to the list. Not to ColdFusion The contract I'm working on is using NextPage NXT3 to manage documents. They want to do some management of the NextPage environment through the ColdFusion system. (Never mind that Verity is better it has been discussed) NextPage has provided developers with com objects so that collections can be built by using the objects. One of these objects is merely used to define options and is created like this In asp Set objNPOptions = Server.CreateObject("NextPage.NPOptions") to create the name value pairs the command is this: objNPOptions("title") = "Title" or objNPOptions.item("title") = "Title" I've been trying to convert this into cold fusion but my conversion bombs when I attempt the same <cfset objNPOptions.item("title") = "Title"> Can't use a function on the left side of an assignment. (sigh) The unfortunate thing is the NPOptions object is required to set the options for other objects like objSiteAdmin.CreateInfobase objNPOptions, "name", "c:\filename.nfo" aka in ColdFusion <cfset objSiteAdmin.CreateInfobase(objNPOptions, "testname", "c:\filename.nfo")> I tried structures and arrays but it seems that NPOptions is an object that the other com objects are expecting -from the desk of Joshua O'Connor-Rose -All is good ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
