Com Objects problem

[zigggo]

Hi. I have the following code in my AutoIt script:

$app = ObjCreate("LeCroy.XStreamDSO")
if @error Then
msgbox(0,"error","Could Not Create XStreamDSO Object")
EndIf
$IDN = $app.InstrumentID
MsgBox(0,"",$IDN)

I was pretty sure that this was working until a day ago, but now $IDN is an empty string.

I do nearly the same code in vbscript:

set app = CreateObject("LeCroy.XStreamDSO")
IDN = app.InstrumentID
msgbox IDN

and IDN contains the correct text. What gives?!

One thing, to check to see if ObjCreate was successful, check IsObj($app)

Yes, it is succesful. Also, there are a couple methods that do work, but most do not All of them work in the vbscript. I don't get it, and I was pretty sure it was all working just yesterday.

Out of curiosity, what do you get if, for your Msgbox, you just do this?

MsgBox(0, "", $app.InstrumentID)

I get an empty string. If I do $app.InstrumentID.Value it returns an actual value! I am not sure what I could use for a method? Again, I could've sworn this was working just the other day without needing to do this.. I don't get what happened.

You need a COM error handler which gives you detailed information about the error. Please check "ObjEvent" to see how it is being done.

if $app.InstrumentID is a method then try using $app.InstrumentID() instead.
