There doesn"t look like there is much interest in COM here so I'll just have to be happy with what I have going with ScriptBasic.

I might try to take Dave's C COM extension module code and make it a generic DLL one could call from O2.

Charles,

Do you see anything in Jose's CallByName PowerBasic code that wouldn't port to O2?

Code: [Select]

' ********************************************************************************************
' Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. The dispatch function DispInvoke
' provides a standard implementation of IDispatch_Invoke.
' Parameters:
' dispIdMember
'   Identifies the member. Use GetIDsOfNames or the object's documentation to obtain the dispatch identifier.
' riid
'    Reserved for future use. Must be IID_NULL.
' lcid
'   The locale context in which to interpret arguments. The lcid is used by the GetIDsOfNames
'   function, and is also passed to IDispatch_Invoke to allow the object to interpret its
'   arguments specific to a locale.
'   Applications that do not support multiple national languages can ignore this parameter.
' wFlags
'   Flags describing the context of the Invoke call, include:
'     %DISPATCH_METHOD
'       The member is invoked as a method. If a property has the same name, both this and the
'       %DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET flag may be set.
'     %DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET
'       The member is retrieved as a property or data member.
'     %DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT
'       The member is changed as a property or data member.
'     %DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF
'       The member is changed by a reference assignment, rather than a value assignment. This
'       flag is valid only when the property accepts a reference to an object.
' pDispParams
'   Pointer to a structure containing an array of arguments, an array of argument DISPIDs for
'   named arguments, and counts for the number of elements in the arrays.
' pVarResult
'   Pointer to the location where the result is to be stored, or NULL if the caller expects no
'   result. This argument is ignored if DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT or DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF is specified.
' pExcepInfo
'   Pointer to a structure that contains exception information. This structure should be filled
'   in if DISP_E_EXCEPTION is returned. Can be NULL.
' puArgErr
'   The index within rgvarg of the first argument that has an error. Arguments are stored in
'   pDispParams->rgvarg in reverse order, so the first argument is the one with the highest index
'   in the array. This parameter is returned only when the resulting return value is
'   %DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH or %DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND. This argument can be set to null.
' Return Value:
'   The return value obtained from the returned HRESULT is one of the following:
'   %S_OK                     Success
'   %DISP_E_BADPARAMCOUNT     The number of elements provided to DISPPARAMS is different from the
'                             number of arguments accepted by the method or property.
'   %DISP_E_BADVARTYPE        One of the arguments in rgvarg is not a valid variant type.
'   %DISP_E_EXCEPTION         The application needs to raise an exception. In this case, the
'                             structure passed in pExcepInfo should be filled in.
'   %DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND    The requested member does not exist, or the call to Invoke tried to
'                             set the value of a read-only property.
'   %DISP_E_NONAMEDARGS       This implementation of IDispatch does not support named arguments.
'   %DISP_E_OVERFLOW          One of the arguments in rgvarg could not be coerced to the specified type.
'   %DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND     One of the parameter DISPIDs does not correspond to a parameter on
'                             the method. In this case, puArgErr should be set to the first
'                             argument that contains the error.
'   %DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH      One or more of the arguments could not be coerced. The index within
'                             rgvarg of the first parameter with the incorrect type is returned
'                             in the puArgErr parameter.
'   %DISP_E_UNKNOWNINTERFACE  The interface identifier passed in riid is not IID_NULL.
'   %DISP_E_UNKNOWNLCID       The member being invoked interprets string arguments according to
'                             the LCID, and the LCID is not recognized. If the LCID is not needed
'                             to interpret arguments, this error should not be returned.

Brian,

If you can get CallByName working in O2 I will buy a copy of your BASIC.

Hi John,

What does this do? where is ADODB?

Code: [Select]
  set oCon = new dispatch in "ADODB.Connection"

ADO is a Windows DB layer COM object. I would use Excel for your testing.

How is VBNEW implemented. I see no GUIDs, so are you using ATL to locate the interfaces?

I would use Dave Zimmer's C CallByName example. He even used the same SAPI example you did in DLLC. (see code in comments)

The SB COM extension module let's you use a GUID or it's registered name.

Here is Dave's original SB COM repository. It doesn't have the improvements Mike made.

Thanks John,  this is what I was after:

Code: [Select]
if(myCopy[0] == '{'){
hr = CLSIDFromString( wStr , &clsid); //its a string CLSID directly
  }else{
hr = CLSIDFromProgID( wStr , &clsid); //its a progid
  }

Great!

The C code I posted above has the improvements Mike made that are not in Dave's repo.

FYI: ADO is the OLE automation version of ODBC.

Note: regsvr32 needs to run in an administrator console when registering controls.

Hi Charles,

Are you still looking at a CallByName library for O2?

This is my last attempt at trying to get something going here on the forum.

It's getting towards the end of the year and the forums I host are lacking any activity. Please give me a reason to keep spending money so others have a resouce to go to.

Hi John,

Unfortunately, I seem to have hit a brick wall with the iDispatch interface. I have tried it on the SAPI voice and also the WebBrowser control accessed via ATL. But it appears defunct in both cases, at least in my Windows10 environment.

But I was able to establish low-level COM control on Aurel's ATL webBrowser Control demo - attaching GoForward/GoBack/GoHome to the Window Buttons.

Thanks for giving it try.

If I find some time I will try to convert the SB COM extension to something generic O2 can use.

Posting your code and getting a few more eyes looking at it might discover the problem.

Charles,

Writing a BASIC compiler, a MD5 function in ScriptBasic and the magic of DLLC makes it hard to imagine you getting stuck on anything.
