Katherine, ok; I don't believe COM interoperability is that much to learn, and there are plenty of examples and info, easily googled, and Rick has mentioned he's done this, and would probably be willing to answer your questions. The com part of scripting in .net would, in my guess, be the least of all the things you''ll need to learn; and my experience has always been, just start doing something, and you'll be surprise 6 months or a year later, how much you've learned, how much you've accomplished in that last time period.
Personally, I'd appreciate someone trying out iron.com and giving us some examples of using the .net framework from VBScript if you're leaning that way. If you're interested in Python, I believe there are some apps written using it (such as the audio toolkit written by Steve Clower). I can't remember if anyone mentioned it, but there are articles in the GW wiki at http://gwmicro.com/wiki which are also designed to cover various scripting topics. hth, Chip hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Katherine Moss [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 7:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: how to know what to reclass controls as when encountered What I'm saying is that I'm trying to use a .net language. -----Original Message----- From: Chip Orange [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 7:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: how to know what to reclass controls as when encountered Hi again Katherine, I'm not really clear what it is you want to do; but, if you want to use the dot net framework, without the bother and overhead of using a dot net language and it's com interface to window-eyes, you could check out a app from Jamal Mazrui named IronCom demo. It allows you to use the dot net framework from VBScript, or if not allows you to do so, then demos how you go about it. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Katherine Moss [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 9:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: how to know what to reclass controls as when encountered I'm not afraid of doing that since my goal is to dabble in all of the .net framework I can reach before Microsoft kills it. -----Original Message----- From: RicksPlace [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 3:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: how to know what to reclass controls as when encountered Hi Kate: If you are going to try and use a DotNet language like CSharp or VB.net or any language other than VBS or JScript COM should be something you should at least be familiar with since you will be mucking about trying to interface with WindowEyes COM objects. I tried to get a VB.net app working and did to a small extent but had message processing problems I couldn't resolve at that time. So, long story short, you should understand COM and how a CSharp Program would interface with the WE COM object so you can understand the required hooks necessary in your application and how to use the browser to find info on WE InterOp objects.
