I noticed that throughout your Chilkat.au3 UDF, you used ObjCreate() functions with class id, interface id, and dll handle as parameters like below:

Local $oObject = ObjCreate( _
        $CHILKATOBJ_API[$__g_iChilkat_DLLVersion][$CHILKATOBJ_NAME_JSON][$CHILKATOBJ_ID_CLSID], _
        $CHILKATOBJ_API[$__g_iChilkat_DLLVersion][$CHILKATOBJ_NAME_JSON][$CHILKATOBJ_ID_IID], _
        $__g_hDll_CHILKAT)

Is that an undocumented implementation of the ObjCreate() function?  I can't find any documentation that references that particular set of parameters for that function.  The only documentation, for the ObjCreate() function, that I have been able to find, lists its parameters as:

ObjCreate ( "classname" [, "servername" [, "username" [, "password"]]] )

I've also looked through AutoIt's version history and found no changes to the ObjCreate() function's parameters.  In any case, I can see where being able to use such an implementation of the function could be very useful if it works the way it appears to.  However, if it is undocumented, I guess it is that way for a reason and would be subject to change without any notice.  That was the first time in 12+ years of using AutoIt that I had ever seen the ObjCreate() function used with those set of parameters.  I found it interesting and thought I would ask.   

When I deploy Chilkat functionality in my scripts, I currently use a Side-by-Side method so I don't have to register the DLL, using regsvr32, on the target machine.  I simply have to deploy the DLL to the script's directory and either supply an external manifest that includes the necessary information or modify the internal manifest with the necessary info.  If the ObjCreate() function, the way you've implemented it, is another method that doesn't require having previously registered the DLL, then the way you've done it is an even easier and cleaner solution.

Look also in my QuickPDF UDF.

This is experimental feature created by @trancexx.

I can try to find A topic where this was described. 

[TheXman 157]

Very interesting!  I will try to search for it also.  Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for this nice UDF.

Sorry because my bad English.

When looking through this library, I see you do not need to register chilkat.dll, but use DllOpen and ObjectCreate with interfaces.
But when I added the chilkat_httprequest function, it seemed that the response was not generated (it was not an object) without registering the dll.
So is it possible to get chilkat_httpresponse without registering the dll?

Thank you.

[mLipok 831]

Please post examples.

In ChilkatContants.au3, I added:

$CHILKATOBJ_API[$CHILKATOBJ_VERSION_950][$CHILKATOBJ_NAME_HTTP][$CHILKATOBJ_ID_PROGID] = 'Chilkat_9_5_0.Http'
    $CHILKATOBJ_API[$CHILKATOBJ_VERSION_950][$CHILKATOBJ_NAME_HTTP][$CHILKATOBJ_ID_CLSID] = '{A74C26D2-2429-4099-8672-2250B15E327F}'

In Chilkat.au3, I added: Func _Chilkat_Http_ObjCreate, Func _Chilkat_HttpRequest_ObjCreate and Func _Chilkat_HttpResponse_ObjCreate. They are similar to other _Chilkat_xxx_ObjCreate functions.

 

My HttpRequest Code:

_ErrorLog_ChilkatWrapper(ConsoleWrite)
_Chilkat_StartUp(@ScriptDir & "\Chilkat" & (@AutoItX64 ? '-x64' : '') & ".dll")
_Chilkat_DllVersion($CHILKATOBJ_VERSION_950)

Local $oHttp = _Chilkat_Http_ObjCreate()
If Not IsObj($oHttp) Then Exit MsgBox(4096, 'Err', '_Chilkat_Http_ObjCreate')

Local $oHttpRequest = _Chilkat_HttpRequest_ObjCreate()
If Not IsObj($oHttpRequest) Then Exit MsgBox(4096, 'Err', '_Chilkat_HttpRequest_ObjCreate')

$resp = $oHttp.SynchronousRequest("www.autoitscript.com", 443, True, $oHttpRequest)

$resp is not HttpResponse Object without registering the chilkat/chilkat-x64.dll

Thanks for your help.
