type of Object

[rewclaus]

Hi -

I am trying to create a trade bot for MTGO. I am using an example script I found here as a template for this project. However when I run the script I get to a certain spot and I get an error I am not familiar with: Variable must be of type "Object".

Here is the portion of the script file that gives the error:

CODE

$miDoc = ObjCreate("MODI.Document")

$miDocView = ObjCreate("MiDocViewer.MiDocView")

$Viewer = GUICreate("Embedded MODI Viewer", 640, 580, (@DesktopWidth-640)/2, (@DesktopHeight-580)/2)

GUICtrlCreatePic($sTargetImage, 320, 290, 0, 0)

GUICtrlSetResizing($Viewer, $GUI_DOCKAUTO)

GUISetBkColor(0x000000)

GUISetState()

$MiDocView.Document = $miDoc

$MiDocView.SetScale(1,1)

In particular the line: $MiDocView.Document = $miDoc

gives the actual error.

can anyone help me solve this?

Thanks!

I thought I'd grab the error from the error box:

$MiDocView.Document = $miDoc

$MiDocView^ERROR

Error: Variable must be of type "Object".

Question: So what variable is the error pointing to? Answer: $MiDocView

Is it an object? Examine IsObj($MiDocView)

You are trying to get the .Document property of $MiDocView and you'll find that it is not an object.

Why is it not an object? because ObjCreate("MODI.Document") failed

you didn't know that ObjCreate("MODI.Document") failed because you didn't check to see if @error was set or if it returned an object

Why did the ObjCreate fail? Check prerequisites and the existance and registration of the proper files on your system

until the ObjCreate succeeds, you can go nowhere with your code.
