xwinterx 0 Posted September 14, 2007 I know I am quite dense... but I was looking at some stuff like my.computer and my.computer.network on msdn. Some of it is quite interesting... I just have no clue how to create the initial object with autoit so I can use the methods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xwinterx 0 Posted September 14, 2007 I know how to create the object... sorry... I just dont know what object to create... I know that if you use the namespace.(whatever) methods you create your object like: $obj = ObjCreate("shell.application") I just dunno what to put between the quotes for the my.computer object. "my.computer"?? didnt know if anyone had done that one before or not, successfully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Name an example to work towards. There's also a good chance it will be ObjGet() vice ObjCreate() if you want to connect to a provider that is already running.

I want to utilize the items in my.computer.network. I want to try utilizing the tcp/ip stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsaltyDS 38 Posted September 15, 2007 gotcha... I want to utilize the items in my.computer.network. I want to try utilizing the tcp/ip stuff.Hmm... looks like it would be very cool to access the my.computer or my.computer.network objects directly, but I don't think that method is available to AutoIt or any other scripting languages like VBS.This needs a VisualBasic/VisualStudio person (which is NOT me), but I think those are built-in calls specific to those coding environments and not exposed to scripting languages like VBS or AutoIt. What is behind those my.computer objects is likely a proprietary library of DLL calls and C++ code that actually gets compiled when you use them in VisualStudio. Disclaimer: That theory needs vetting by someone who knows more about that environment than I do. Hide PsaltyDS's signature Hide all signatures Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
