$comcall(name,alias,member,method,type1,value1,...,typeN,valueN)

This calls a member of an open COM connection with the specified method and parameters.

Uses the same format as $com() apart from the alias. It is multi-threaded so it will not halt the script and will call the specified alias once the call returns.

Returns: 1 = ok, 0 = fail.

Parameters

Parameter Description
name Connection name.
alias Alias to call when the call is finished.
member Member name.
method Combination of the method values added together (see below).
type The variable type (see below),
value The value assigned to the variable type.

Methods

Method Description
1 DISPATCH_METHOD
2 DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET
4 DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT
8 DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF

Types

Can be: i1, i2, i4, ui1, ui2, ui4, int, uint, r4, r8, cy, date, decimal, bool, bstr, variant, dispatch, unknown, error.
VB equivalents are: boolean, byte, currency, date, double, integer, long, single, string, variant.
To make a variable by reference, use * in the type name, eg. i1*
To assign a name to a variable for later reference after a call, append it to the type, eg. i1* varname
When using a variant you must also specify the variable type after it, eg. variant bool.
