I tried to implement the code in this topic:
Firstly, i have no idea how these lines of code work but meanwhile i noticed that:
; Everytime autoit wants to call a method, get or set a property in a object it needs to go to ; IDispatch::GetIDsFromNames. This is our version of that function, note that by defining this ourselves ; we can fool autoit to believe that the object supports a lot of different properties/methods. Func __IDispatch_GetIDsFromNames($pSelf, $riid, $rgszNames, $cNames, $lcid, $rgDispId) ... EndFunc The problem is i ran into is that some object calls didn't go through IDispatch::GetIDsFromNames.
Here is the code to replicate what i'm mentioning:
I followed the example in the topic and tried to do the same thing with method .Documents (line 193) and .Open (line 194) but didn't get the same result because .Documents was being passed through __IDispatch_GetIDsFromNames while .Open didn't.
$Au3_CallByName = 'Documents' Local $oDoc = $oAppl.Au3_CallByName $Au3_CallByName = 'Open' $oDoc = $oDoc.Au3_CallByName($sFilePath, $bConfirmConversions, $bReadOnly, $bAddToRecentFiles, $sOpenPassword, "", $bRevert, $sWritePassword, "", $iFormat) Console outputs:
==> The requested action with this object has failed.: $oDoc = $oDoc.Au3_CallByName($sFilePath, $bConfirmConversions, $bReadOnly, $bAddToRecentFiles, $sOpenPassword, "", $bRevert, $sWritePassword, "", $iFormat) $oDoc = $oDoc^ ERROR Is there any workarounds to solve this?

Thank you!

Hello again, i have a code that changes username to favorite, my problem is how to use ObjEvent() function to catch errors, i've red Help File and Forum's Topics but i can't understand too much😐

Here is a code (I've copied this codes from a user of AutoIt Forum):
 
$sOldUser = "Administrator" $sNewUser = "Admin" $oUser = ObjGet("WinNT://" & @ComputerName & "/" & $sOldUser & ",user") $oComputer = ObjGet("WinNT://" & @ComputerName) $oNewUser = $oComputer.MoveHere($oUser.ADsPath, $sNewUser) Thanks for your care, I'm new to AutoIt and days should be passed with my coding and practicing to don't bother you :)❤

Today, in the end as well, worked out using the Acrobat Reader ActiveX COM Object "AcroPDF.PDF.1"

Hi all,
I'm trying to write a script that connects with a VBA/COM API to get the status of a connected phone. I've been looking up and down this forum for tips or other user's experiences, but I can't seem to find anything (even remotely) similar. It shouldn't be so hard to do, however.
Software I'm trying to connect to
I'm trying to integrate CallCenter by using their API, which is documented over here : JustRemotePhone API Reference
Things I've tried
I've tried using ObjCreate but I don't get any result, it always returns the same (negative) error.
#Version 1 tried ObjCreate("JustRemotePhone.RemotePhoneService") #Version 2 tried ObjCreate("JustRemotePhoneCOM.RemotePhoneService") #Version 3 tried ObjCreate("JustRemotePhoneCOM.RemotePhoneService.Application") None of the three versions I tried seem to deliver any result other than a negative error value which basically says that the given class is not valid.
I am starting to get the hang of AutoIt by now, but unmanaged programming languages and object-oriented stuff is still quite a grey zone for me. If anyone could help me 'talk' to this application, I'd be immensely grateful!
Thanks in advance and kind regards from Belgium!

So I'm trying to do some as400 automation and hit a wall when trying to get a COM object. The code on line 8 is failing, the as400.ws file opens with PCSWS.exe so I tried using that as the file path too but that didn't work either. Any and all help is greatly appreciated! 
 
$file = "C:\Users\Rhidlor\Desktop\as400.ws" If Not FileExists($file) Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "Error finding file") Exit EndIf $object = ObjGet($file) If @error Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "Error getting object") Exit EndIf $object.SendKeys("05")
