Joshua,
I think this will work,
<cfobject type="com" action="Connect" class="NextPage.NPOptions"
name="anObject">
<cfset myMethod=anObject.Item("title")>
<cfset myMethod="Title">
Or With <CFScript>
<cfscript>
anObject=CreateObject("Com","NextPage.NPOptions")'
myMethod=anObject.Item("title");
myMethod="Title";
</cfscript>

Subject: CFOBJECT and conversion from ASP
New to the list. Not to ColdFusion
The contract I'm working on is using NextPage NXT3 to manage documents. They
want to do some management of the NextPage environment through the
ColdFusion system. (Never mind that Verity is better it has been discussed)
NextPage has provided developers with com objects so that collections can be
built by using the objects.
One of these objects is merely used to define options and is created like
this
In asp
Set objNPOptions = Server.CreateObject("NextPage.NPOptions")
to create the name value pairs the command is this:
objNPOptions("title") = "Title"
or
objNPOptions.item("title") = "Title"
I've been trying to convert this into cold fusion but my conversion bombs
when I attempt the same
<cfset objNPOptions.item("title") = "Title">
Can't use a function on the left side of an assignment. (sigh)
The unfortunate thing is the NPOptions object is required to set the options
for other objects like
objSiteAdmin.CreateInfobase objNPOptions, "name", "c:\filename.nfo"
aka in ColdFusion
<cfset objSiteAdmin.CreateInfobase(objNPOptions, "testname",
"c:\filename.nfo")>
I tried structures and arrays but it seems that NPOptions is an object that
the other com objects are expecting
