Hi Jonathan,
Yes, note the double click you mention, jumping out of the path established
by the WE environment. I also noted you could get the object but opened a new
session and that is what would happen according to the rules of the get object.
I was pointing out that the path for VB has changed inside of we
environment...pointing to the default folder.
There are several results based on how you want things done as has been
pointed out, either a new object or just a duplicate of an existing object...
Also there is another interesting way to do things using an existing object
and that is using the GetRef version, which is a nice way to do things, which
almost emulates the shared object technique. It is an interesting way of doing
things and is like over-loading objects, but at least a reference of the object
can be done to allow it be assigned to events and such.
The path adjustment inside Reflection might be needed in a case of being
inside the WE environment and only mentioned that just in case that is the
issue. I do not run Reflection so I can not test that thought, but you could
try, then use the %system% inside the that to see if that does in fact fix it.
Only ideas and other ways to approach the issue. GetRef can be used for
function and procedure calls but does not try using class methods, I guess it
looses it's mind, pointer I mean....because none really exists until
assignment...object creation.
So, give it a try and maybe it will work. I have not run Jaws since I used
it for Access data base running so I never got into it's scripting environment
which I believe is there own version and not VbScript; one reason why I never
got into it.

Bruce,
My apologies, I don’t understand how the command line arguments sync with
using the GetObject with no first argument. Can you provide some pointers on
that?
Also, remember that double clicking a vbs script with GetObject works
correctly in obtaining a copy of the current Reflection session, but adding
this VBS into WE Environment and then running it fails with the Can’t create
Active X Object error.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan
When using this program there are issues for the path, including
placing path in quotes. Below is the link and tech blog on these issues,
especially running VB and such.

http://support.attachmate.com/techdocs/2441.html
Switch Support in Reflection for HP, UNIX, OpenVMS, or ReGIS
The following switches are supported by R1Win.exe, R2Win.exe, and R4Win.exe.
/FMIGRATE
Causes the Reflection F-Secure Migration Wizard to display before
Reflection starts.
/LAYOUT <layout file>
Opens Reflection using the information contained in the layout file (*.rlo).
/N
Suppresses the display of the Reflection startup screen.
/NOCONNECT
Loads the connection information but doesn't automatically make the
connection. You
would want to use this switch, for example, if you wanted to make changes
to connection
settings in a settings file before connecting.
/NOLOADSETTINGS
Specifies that the default settings file, or any other settings file
specified, is
not loaded. This forces Reflection to load with its factory default values
or site
default values, depending on how it's configured.
/RB <command>
Where <command> is a Visual Basic command. Although the switch is called
/RB, the
Visual Basic compiler is used, not the older Reflection Basic compiler.
This startup
switch is identical to /VBA.
/RBS <script file name> [<script argument>]
Where <script file name> is a Reflection Basic script.
/RCL <command>
Where <command> is a Reflection command language command.
/RCLS <command language file name> [<command file argument>]
Where <command language file name> is a Reflection command language file
(*.rcl).
/S <settings file>
Where <settings file> is the name of a settings file to load.
When you specify multiple settings files, each successive one overwrites
the previous
settings. In the following example, the settings in the Second settings
file will
overwrite any toolbar settings that were in the First settings file.
"C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Reflection\R2win.exe" /S First.r2w /S
Second.r2w
If your settings file name includes spaces, quotes are required. For
example:
"C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Reflection\r2win.exe" /S "C:\My path\My
Settings.r2w"
If you use a UNC path for the file, it must begin with 3 backslashes.
(The /S switch can be omitted for the first settings file if it does not
contain
spaces.)
/U <path>
Where <path> designates what your user folder will be for the current
session. If
no path is provided, the user folder that was designated at Setup will be
used.
/VBA <command>
Where <command> is a Visual Basic command. This startup switch is identical
to /RB.
Use quotation marks around path names and/or commands that include spaces.
Use a
double set of quotation marks for macro data contained within other
quotation marks,
for example:
"C:\Program Files\Attachmate\Reflection\R2win.exe" /VBA ".ConnectionType =
""TELNET""
" /VBA .Connect
/W <telnet URL>
Opens Reflection from a telnet URL, such as in a web browser (see also
Technical
Note
2307
). If you have multiple startup switches, then the /W switch must be the
last switch
in the string.

Subject: Re: GetObject syntax / function
Chip,
Thanks for the advice in a later post I showed code that I ran directly
with the vbs system doing a GetObject of Reflection2.Session and CreateObject
of WindowEyes.Application. This code worked and WindowEyes spoke the current X
coordinate of the cursor. I then commented out the CreateObject and ran the
same script in the WindowEyes script host and the GetObject on the first line
failed to execute.
Bruce suggested I look at environment variables but I thought Object Name
translation was done via registry and I don’ know the specific place to look.
The binary is called “r2win.exe’
Best wishes,
Jonathan

Subject: RE: GetObject syntax / function
Hi Jonathan,
There’s a trick to use of GetObject(); it does have two parameters, but
the first parameter should not be a null string, but should be omitted entirely
if what you want is to obtain a pointer to any currently running copy of this
application object (see my Word Advanced Features app, which does this, rather
than start up a second copy of Word). For instance:
Set WordApp = getObject(, “word.application”)
Then, if it ends up returning nothing, you can then use CreateObject()
to start the application.
As Steve says, this is standard VBScript, so you can search the
internet for all information on it.
Hth,
Chip

Subject: GetObject syntax / function
I am having issues reproducing a GetObject() command I am using in a
JAWS script to work in WindowEyes. In JAWS GetObject(R”eflection.Session”).
Note that in JAWS this takes just one argument. After invoking this command I
can act directly with the scriptable objects of the current session. In VBS
with WindowEyes the GetObject requires two parameters, where the second
parameter appears to be equivalent to the parameter that JAWS uses.
If I use a null string for the first parameter then Reflection creates
a new hidden window. If I use the path of the Reflections settings file then I
get a new session to the host. If I leave the first parameter completely blank,
I get back an ActiveX error. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance for any hints.Best wishes,
Jonathan
