| Call a named method of another COM object and reciewes the result in this object. | |
| Syntax: | object.CallObjectMethod Object, MethodName, InputArguments |
| Parameters: |
Object As
object -
MethodName
As String -
InputArguments As SAFEARRAY(VARIANT)* -
|
| Description: | Calls the named method of the passed object with
the remaining arguments and asigns the method result to this
object. The passed COM object must implement IDispatch for this
method to work. If the returned value does not happen to be an
array a single dimension array with one element will be created to
hold it. The third parameter listed (InputArguments) in this method
is actually a mechanism for passing a variable argument list. The
scripting syntax for passing the argument list is to just use
normal argument passing syntax as demonstrated in the example.
Basic Scripts normal calling convention is to pass everything
ByRef. Some automation servers do not handle these ByRef parameters
well. If problems seem to occur try passing the parameters using
ByVal as demonstrated in this example. Example: Private cimOleObj As Object Sub OnKeyDown(key As Integer) Dim arResult As CoCimSafeArray5 Set arResult =
CreateObject("CIMPLICITY.CimSafeArray.5") ' Equivalant to arResult = cimOleObj.GetData2
"One", ByVal 2, ByVal 3 arResult.CallObjectMethod cimOleObj, "GetData2",
"One", ByVal 2, ByVal 3 MsgBox "Element 1 = " &
arResult.Element(0) MsgBox "Element 2 = " &
arResult.Element(1) MsgBox "Element 3 = " &
arResult.Element(2)End Sub |
