Set COM readonly properties before RunTime

[ktuimala]

I am trying to figure out how to set up some properties before creating a RichText control. These properties go readonly at runtime.

; Snippet
Local $oRT = ObjCreate("RICHTEXT.RichtextCtrl.1")
GUICtrlCreateObj($oRT, 5, 105, $MAIN_WIN_WIDTH-5-5, $MAIN_WIN_HEIGHT-105-25))
    
With $oRT
     .MultiLine = True
     .ScrollBars = 2
EndWith

As you can see this will throw an error. The properties I am setting need to be set before runtime. However, I can't figure out how to do that. Could anyone help?

I should be asking, "Is there a way to set properties of an object before calling it with ObjCreate()?"

I have been racking my brain on the forums and Google for a while now and I am starting to think that there is not a way. Any ideas?

It is not possible.

First you create the OBJECT than you set the PROPERTIES, like in your script example.

Thanks. That is what I thought.... Just had to make sure.
