Hi,
Thanks for the idea.
When I create a minimal project in MS Basic Express (console App) the following
works:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim AlibreHook As AlibreX.AutomationHook AlibreHook =
GetObject(, "AlibreX.AutomationHook")
Dim AlibreRoot As AlibreX.IADRoot AlibreRoot = AlibreHook.Root
Console.WriteLine("Version " & AlibreRoot.version)
End Sub
End Module
When I try the same thing in a vbs script, and run with wscript:
Dim AlibreHook AlibreHook = GetObject(, "AlibreX.AutomationHook")
Dim AlibreRoot AlibreRoot = AlibreHook.Root
WScript.Echo("Version " & AlibreRoot.version)
I get the error:
Line: 4
Char: 9
Error: Object required
Code: 800A01A8
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
The TypeName(AlibreRoot) in the second example yields 'Unknown'
All of the examples have this component started and attach to a running
instance with GetObject.
Any new insights?
