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 On Oct 9, 2014, at 7:03 AM, Chip Orange <lists3...@comcast.net> wrote: > BTW, class # 16 (when I did a quick search), seems to include a discussion of > getObject(). > > Hth, > > Chip > > > From: Chip Orange [mailto:lists3...@comcast.net] > Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2014 6:52 AM > To: gw-scripting@gwmicro.com > 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).
