Help using an ObjectID

[ChuckS]

Hello All,

I am having difficulty in getting an Object to work. I have been through the forum several time trying to piece something together but so far I have come up with nothing, Although I did learn much about other things in my search so it wasn't a waste of time.

In short I want to use the Snapshot Viewer to view an MS-Access report. I can get it to work if I create an ASP page an use the Embedded IE to call the asp page but I would prefer not to do it that way. I know Autoit can perform these tasks based on other examples such as embedding Media Player controls and such but I am missing something.

Here is the Object and Parameters I used in the ASP page.

<OBJECT ID="SnapshotViewer1" WIDTH=750 HEIGHT=500 codebase="Snapview.ocx"
     CLASSID="CLSID:F0E42D60-368C-11D0-AD81-00A0C90DC8D9" VIEWASTEXT>
        <PARAM NAME="_Version" VALUE="65536">
        <PARAM NAME="SnapshotPath" VALUE="RMR.snp">
        <PARAM name="Zoom" VALUE="0">
        <PARAM name="AllowContextMenu" VALUE="-1">
        <PARAM name="ShowNavigationButtons" VALUE="-1">
    </OBJECT>

I have hard coded what I can to make is easier to follow.

If one of you Autoit gods could just send me in the right direction that would be great. To start me off all I need is either an example I can build from or a simple GUI that calls this. Nothing fancy.

Many thanks

Perhaps I don't follow you, but this will create a webpage on the fly without the need for an asp page on the server:

$sHTML = ''
$sHTML &= 'Here is the object:<p>'
$sHTML &= ' <OBJECT ID="SnapshotViewer1" WIDTH=750 HEIGHT=500 codebase="Snapview.ocx"'
$sHTML &= '  CLASSID="CLSID:F0E42D60-368C-11D0-AD81-00A0C90DC8D9" VIEWASTEXT>'
$sHTML &= '     <PARAM NAME="_Version" VALUE="65536">'
$sHTML &= '     <PARAM NAME="SnapshotPath" VALUE="RMR.snp">'
$sHTML &= '     <PARAM name="Zoom" VALUE="0">'
$sHTML &= '     <PARAM name="AllowContextMenu" VALUE="-1">'
$sHTML &= '     <PARAM name="ShowNavigationButtons" VALUE="-1">'
$sHTML &= ' </OBJECT>'

$oIE = _IECreate()
_IEBodyWriteHTML($oIE, $sHTML)

Thanks for the reply DaleHohm.

I am trying to get away from using html altogether and use the object directly from within the script.

Been reading up on the Obj/COM reference in the help file but I am still missing something.

The code I posted previously is more for VB which is why it worked in an ASP script.

My apologies for not being a little clearer in the opening post. :">

Ah, in that case, suggest you read up on the OLE/COM Object Viewer in the Obj/COM section of the helpfile.
