Create Object Handling

[mike1950r]

Hello,

I'm using an object in different functions.

The object is created with:

$objVideo = ObjCreate("wmplayer.ocx")

Now I want to use this object in another function and tried:

$objVideo = ObjGet("wmplayer.ocx")

But this is not working.

How can I use the same object in different function without giving the object variable as parameter in function name such as:

Func NextFunction($objVideo)

Thanks for assistance.

Cheers mike

I think you've got the syntax wrong. Try this --

$objVideo = ObjGet("", "wmplayer.ocx")

Define $objVideo as Global at the beginning of your script.

Global $objVideo = ObjCreate("wmplayer.ocx")
; Outside of functions

Thanks Danp2.

This would have been my prefered solution, but unfortunately it does not work.

Thanks Kafu,

this works.

Although I do not like very much to work with Global variables, cause my functions are in libraries.

If it's an "include" library you can also define the Global variable at the top of the include file itself.

GDIPlus.au3 does something similar with $__g_hGDIPDll.

Aalso you could test the variable with isobj() at the beginning of the single functions, and throw an error when false.

Thanks KaFu,

my fear was, that this is double declared, when the library is loaded.

I found a solution for me putting this on top of the library:

If Not IsDeclared("objGlo_Video") Then
    Global $objGlo_Video
EndIf

object verification works fine now.

Thanks mike
