Two quick questions

[patlim4152]

Heya,

Just two quick questions

1. I've seen functions like ObjCreate etc. This is obviously not in the AutoIt helpfile, so I was wondering whether there was a list somewhere on where to find these functions and the correct syntax involved?

2. I'm trying to download a certain picture which is in the code, I'm pretty sure it is possible somehow, already have something started with IE.au3, but was wondering whether if I needed any more "external" functions which could be useful, would help a ton.

Thanks in advance.

Moin, moin...!

Witch version of autoit do you use? But sorry, friends, here is an extract of my version of helpfile

Function Reference

ObjCreate

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Creates a reference to a COM object from the given classname.

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

Parameters

Classname The class of the object in the following format:

"appname.objectype"

Servername Optional name of a remote computer from which the

object must be obtained

Username Optional name of a usercode on the remote computer

You have to enter this in the format "computer\usercode" or

"domain\usercode"

Password Optional password for the usercode on the remote computer

Return Value

Success: Returns an object

Failure: Returns 0 and sets @error to 1

Remarks

Use ObjCreate() if you want to have a new instance of the referring application.

If you want to connect to an existing process, use ObjGet() instead.

Keep in mind that not all computers have the same set of Objects. So always check for errors after calling ObjCreate().

The following requirements apply if you want to access objects on remote computers:

-The user running the script must have the appropriate permissions.

-The Object on the remote computer must support DCOM (Distributed COM)

-The remote computer must have 'Remote Registry Service' and 'File and Printersharing' services running.

See the Obj/COM Reference for more information about Objects.

Example

; Example 1

;

; Counting the number of open shell windows

$oShell = ObjCreate("shell.application") ; Get the Windows Shell Object

$oShellWindows=$oShell.windows ; Get the collection of open shell Windows

if Isobj($oShellWindows) then

$string="" ; String for displaying purposes

for $Window in $oShellWindows ; Count all existing shell windows

$String = $String & $window.LocationName & @CRLF

next

Msgbox(0,"Shell Windows","You have the following shell windows:" & @CRLF & @CRLF & $String);

endif

exit

; Example 2

;

; Open the MediaPlayer on a REMOTE computer

$oRemoteMedia = ObjCreate("MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer.1","name-of-remote-computer")

If not @error then

Msgbox(0,"Remote ObjCreate Test","ObjCreate() of a remote Mediaplayer Object successfull !")

$oRemoteMedia.Open("c:\windows\media\Windows XP Startup.wav") ; Play sound if file is present

Else

Msgbox(0,"Remote ObjCreate Test","Failed to open remote Object. Error code: " & hex(@error,8))
