Hi all,
For those of you who understand the really low-level way in which things
work, I wonder if you could guess at a problem I'm having (I'm just curious
as to why, not that I expect anyone to solve it).
At work I sometimes program in visual foxpro; an interpreted macro language,
much like VBScript. I frequently use activeX objects in these programs.
Recently, because I've learned about the scripting object
scripting.dictionary from my work with Window-eyes, I tried to use this
object in VFP programs. While it executes the CreateObject() just fine,
whenever I try to use any of the methods or properties of the
scripting.dictionary object I get an error from VFP that the property or
method can't be found.
Just wondering if there are different low-level standards for interfacing
with COM objects, and does the scripting.dictionary object require a
specific one (which VFP might not support)?
Thanks for any clues here.
Chip
