Help with C# or VB conversion to Autoit (OBJ/COM)

[imperialdrag]

Hello everyone.

I need help converting this C#/VB code to Autoit. 

/// Detailed Visual Studio 2013 C# Example

try{
axMBActX1.InitMBActX(MarkingUnitTypes.MARKINGUNIT_MDX1000);
}catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException error){
MessageBox.Show(error.Message);
}

/// Simple VB Example

Call MBActX1.InitMBActX(MARKINGUNIT_MDX1000)

My Autoit code. I can't get past the InitMBActX part.

; My Sample Autoit script

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGUI = GUICreate("TEST GUI")
    $otest = ObjCreate ("MB3ACTX.MB3ActXCtrl.1")
    $GUIActiveX  = GUICtrlCreateObj ($otest , 10, 10 , 380 , 350 )
    
    $otest.InitMBActX... <==== No idea how to pass the parameters "MarkingUnitTypes" and "MARKINGUNIT_MDX1000" as a valid autoit code
    
EndFunc

axMBActx1, MBActX1 and $otest all refer to the same OBJ class. InitMBActX is the method.  MarkingUnitTypes and MARKINGUNIT_MDX1000 are the arguments.

From the ITypeLib using OLE/COM OBJ viewer.

typedef enum {
    MARKINGUNIT_MDX1000 = 0,
    MARKINGUNIT_MDX1020 = 1,
    MARKINGUNIT_MDX1050 = 2,
    MARKINGUNIT_MDX1500 = 3,
    MARKINGUNIT_MDX1520 = 4
} MarkingUnitTypes;

 

Not sure if this post is for C# or AutoitX section, sorry if I posted in the wrong forum section. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Something like this. To grab COM errors you would need to add a COM error handler to your script. Please check the help file for ObjEvent.

; My Sample Autoit script

Global Enum $MARKINGUNIT_MDX1000, $MARKINGUNIT_MDX1020, $MARKINGUNIT_MDX1050, $MARKINGUNIT_MDX1500, $MARKINGUNIT_MDX1520

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGUI = GUICreate("TEST GUI")
    $otest = ObjCreate ("MB3ACTX.MB3ActXCtrl.1")
    $GUIActiveX  = GUICtrlCreateObj ($otest , 10, 10 , 380 , 350 )
    
    $otest.InitMBActX($MARKINGUNIT_MDX1000)
    
EndFunc

The COM error handler is exactly what I needed.  Thank you water.
