Title: JSscript vs JavaScript
Post by: lubos on October 21, 2009, 10:09:33 pm

Hi,
this line is valid in Scripter for JScript

var xmlDOM = new ActiveXObject( "MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0" );

but it's not valid for JavaScript.
What I have to write to use any COM object using JavaScript?
Thanks for any hint.

You can't.
JScript uses the Windows scripting engine which enables access to ActiveX and COM.
JAVAScript does not.

Oliver is correct that it is not supported natively by JavaScript. We do provide a COM wrapper library though that is accessible from JavaScripts within the EA JavaScript engine.

To create a COM object, the syntax for named objects is:

Code: [Select]

var obj = new COMObject("WMPlayer.OCX");
or for ClsIDs

Code: [Select]

var obj = new COMObject("{6BF52A4F-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6}");
Please note the curly braces ({}) are required for ClsIDs.
