Hi!

I developed a COM-AddIn for Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003 with AddIn-Express.NET 2.6.

I referenced the COM-AddIn in an custom OutlookForm via VBScript-Code
(Application.COMAddins.Item("MyOlPluginShim.Proxy").object).
As expected a got back a reference to ADXRemoteObject which has some methods like GetProperty, SetProperty and CallMethod.
I can get the GetProperty-method to work in my VBScript but i need to call some methods from my COM-AddIn, some with and some without parameters.

But i can't get it to work. The method CallMethod needs two parameters:
string name for the method name i like to call (hope so....) and an array of objects (object[]).

How i have to set object[] if i have a method without parameters?
How i have to set object[] if i have a method with parameters?

I didn't found any documentation or example how to use the methods of ADXRemoteObject.....

THANX for your help!!!


Ciao
Thomas

Hi Thomas.

Please try the code below.

Sub ADXRemoting()
Dim remoteObj As Object
Dim args(1) As Variant

Set remoteObj = Application.COMAddIns.Item("MyShimmedAddinShim.Proxy").Object

MsgBox (remoteObj.GetProperty("MyProperty"))

args(0) = "parameter 1"
args(1) = "parameter 2"
MsgBox (remoteObj.CallMethod("MyMethodWithParameters", args))

End Sub

How i have to set object[] if i have a method without parameters?

I am afraid, now it is not possible. I will add a new 'CallMethod' member without parameters in the next ADX build.

Hi Sergey!

1000 THANX for your help and code snipped !
It worked great in VB6 (i forgot to define the array as Variant)! :D

Even in VBScript it doesn't work because i cannot initialize arrays of a specific type (or missed i something...?).

But i can call the COM-AddIn in my VB6 component and then read the result in my VBScript from the component.

I can set a dummy parameter in my function unless a new method is added to the ADXRemoteObject class.

:)

Best regards and thanx again,
Thomas
