Re: [amibroker] OLE automation: How to set Param/ParamStr/ParamDate value?

[Tomasz Janeczko]

Hello,   I am always amused by the fact that people are so afraid of things that are pretty easy in fact provided that one just gives it a try.   If one knows how to write JScript, it is perfectly capable of writing ActiveX or even DLL plugin.   Writing ActiveX is covered in detail step-by-step procedure in the User's Guide and it does not exceed capabilities of anyone who can write JScript scripts. http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_aflcom.html  ("Using external COM/ActiveX objects in AFL") and it is definitely easier than flying esp. by flapping your arms :-)   Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: dingo To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 6:47 PM Subject: RE: [amibroker] OLE automation: How to set Param/ParamStr/ParamDate value? I was trying to convey the message that if you don't know how to write a dll or an ActiveX then you might as well try to fly by flapping your arms.  I guess my attempt failed....    d From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tomasz Janeczko Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 12:37 PM To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] OLE automation: How to set Param/ParamStr/ParamDate value? My answer was not supposed to be funny. I pointed out real possibilities/solutions that are far better/faster/more robust than sending keystrokes.

Or... you can write a DLL plugin. Or... write an Active X Or... store your "dynamic" values in database and access them via ODBC plugin  Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: dingo To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 4:37 PM Subject: RE: [amibroker] OLE automation: How to set Param/ParamStr/ParamDate value? The way you describe is not that bad actually.   A more efficient way would be to use "AutoIT"  www.autoit.com  to click the buttons for you and enter the text.  It has an activeX component as well as a dll that you could use within your script or you could call an exe that it can build.   d From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark H Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 12:05 AM To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [amibroker] OLE automation: How to set Param/ParamStr/ParamDate value? Thanks dingo:   I am wondering what's the best way to pass parameters to a formula dynamically from JScript. A way to do it is through a file: the script writes some dynamic values to a file and the AFL formula will reads and parses the file. However, this would be slow and cumbersome. Any suggestion will be appreciated,   - Mark   ----- Original Message ----- From: dingo To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 11:04 PM Subject: RE: [amibroker] OLE automation: How to set Param/ParamStr/ParamDate value?

I am writing an automation script but couldn't find a way to set values for Param/ParamStr/ParamDate etc. I can only use their default values. Is there a way to set their values in JScript?
