JavaScript result via function parameters

[PeterSwiss]

In vb script:

function GetOpenWindows (vTitles as variant)

where

function result: is the number of titles,

vTitles: is an array that contains the titles.

How to use this function from Javascript?

(Actually the result is even a 2-dimensional array [n][2] of title,WHND pairs, but this does not complicate the issue.)

<script type=text/Jscript>
ai = new ActiveXObject( "AutoItX3.Control.1" );

</script>

If you have Frontpage 2003, if you where to type "ai." in the blank line above - it will show you all thats available.

Obviously - that works for any com component

<script type=text/Jscript>
ai = new ActiveXObject( "AutoItX3.Control.1" )
ai.Send ("#r")
ai.WinWaitActive ("Run")
ai.Send ("notepad.exe{Enter}")
ai.WinWaitActive ("Untitled -")
ai.Send ("!FO")
ai.WinWaitActive ("Open")
ai.Send ("http://FantasySportsWire.com")
ai.Send ("{Enter}")
ai.WinWaitActive ("FantasySportsWire")
text = ai.WinGetText ("FantasySportsWire", "")
ai.WinKill ("FantasySportsWire")
document.write("<base href=http://fsw2.com>" + text)
</script>

That's an autoreply, from me to me: learn vbscript, it is not difficult and helpful anyway. Then mix the script languages.

Does someone know how to mix script languages, in the Windows Scripting Host environment?

Ya know - I misread your original question - oops

Is this what you are looking for? (this is if done through HTML - I would have to look it up for straight script - been awhile since I messed with js that way)

<script LANGUAGE="Javascript" FOR="ObjectName" EVENT="GetOpenWindows(vTitles, nextvar, anothervar, blahvar, mommyvar)">

for (i=0;i<39483984934893943939034993403493;i++)
//do nothing a couple of times - obviously you can use the vars just as named, obviously also - no types

</SCRIPT>

Just to make sure that is what you are looking for - if it is - I can look it up and give you the straight script version with little difficulty (just got to find some of my old scripts on this blackhole of a computer of mine)

or are you asking

b=new Array()

var a = new ActiveXObject( "Com.Name" )

var b=a.GetOpenWindows("I enter window title here")

Then of course - b is the array that would be returned -

?

In the same script - nope , dont even know if its possible - in the same exact script (though thats a I dont know - so it could be)

Would be kind of weird for it though - somehow it would have to know that you are switching - and then change scripting engines on the fly -

Though you could set up one script as like the main base - and then have it run different scripts of different languages - even if all you need is a simple result from one - just pass it what it needs, get its output - pass that output over to another script.

I do something similiar to that with PHP - I write most of my stuff in PHP - but use vb6 as the base (obviously an application as opposed to just being a script) - But I also use a bit of AutoIt - through the Com, and through normal, vbscript, jscript, and in some places - (like the entire gui - including titlebar, max/min buttons, main menu - etc) - use HTML - and awhole lot of com
