zigggo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 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?!

zigggo Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 One thing, to check to see if ObjCreate was successful, check IsObj($app)DaleYes, 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.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 24, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 24, 2012 Out of curiosity, what do you get if, for your Msgbox, you just do this? MsgBox(0, "", $app.InstrumentID) "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind. For the man who cannot express himself forcibly through intellect must do so through shock and awe" - Spencer W.

zigggo Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 You need a COM error handler which gives you detailed information about the error. Please check "ObjEvent" to see how it is being done.

Bowmore Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 if $app.InstrumentID is a method then try using $app.InstrumentID() instead.
