COM object error - huh?

[sulfurious 0]

I have an object, TypeLibInfo. Object is created. You then reference a property, which is a filename. The code looks like this

expandcollapse popup

Dim $arGUID[1][2]
    $arGUID[0][0] = 0
    $arGUID[0][1] = 0
    $sFileName = "some dll exe ocx tlb file"
    $oTypeLib = ObjCreate("TLI.TypeLibInfo")
    If IsObj($oTypeLib) Then
        $oTypeLib.ContainingFile = $sFileName
        If @error Then 
            MsgBox(0,"error","com")
            Return 
        EndIf
        _ArrayAdd2($arGUID,$oTypeLib.Name,$oTypeLib.GUID)
        For $i = 1 To $oTypeLib.TypeInfoCount
            $oTypeInfo = $oTypeLib.TypeInfos($i)
            If $oTypeInfo.TypeKind = 5 Then ;MsgBox(0,"CLSID",$oTypeInfo.Name & @CRLF & @CRLF & $oTypeInfo.GUID)
                _ArrayAdd2($arGUID,$oTypeInfo.Name,$oTypeInfo.GUID)
            EndIf
        Next
        _ArrayDisplay2($arGUID,"arguid")
    EndIfoÝ÷ Øw«yªÞ¶®¶²~éíìjëh×6Func _ArrayAdd2(ByRef $avArray, $sValue1 = "", $sValue2 = "")
    If IsArray($avArray) Then
        ReDim $avArray[UBound($avArray) + 1][2]
        $avArray[UBound($avArray) - 1][0] = $sValue1
        $avArray[UBound($avArray) - 1][1] = $sValue2
        SetError(0)
        Return 1
    Else
        SetError(1)
        Return 0
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;--->>> _ArrayAdd2

Func _ArrayDisplay2(Const ByRef $avArray, $sTitle)
    Local $iCounter = 0, $sMsg = ""
    
    If (Not IsArray($avArray)) Then
        SetError(1)
        Return 0
    EndIf
    
    For $iCounter = 0 To UBound($avArray) - 1
        $sMsg = $sMsg & "[" & $iCounter & "]    = " & StringStripCR($avArray[$iCounter][0]) & "     " _
        & StringStripCR($avArray[$iCounter][1]) & @CR
    Next
    
    MsgBox(4096, $sTitle, $sMsg)
    SetError(0)
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;--->>> _ArrayDisplay2

If the file to be inspected is not registerable, then the GUID & Name properties will not exist. Duh. Anyway, put a non-registerable file in, and it throws a com error. I thought that checking for @error would catch it. I either don't understand it implicitly or ... well, maybe I just don't understand it.

After I decrypted the help file on this library, and then reverse engineered it using a 128-bit offset alien to english text converter, I found this

tliErrCantLoadLibrary (vbObjectError + &H202)

The specified file could not be found, or the file doesn't contain a valid typelib.

Raised by the TypeLibInfo.ContainingFile property.

But, I am unsure exactly how to look for this error.

Can anyone explain what I am missing?

late,

Heh. Seems you have to declare an ObjEvent first. Then you handle the object returned error setting @error. AutoIt works pretty good if you actually put the proper code where it is needed.
