VB COM, need help with CreateObject

need help with CreateObject

Author	Message
A L #1 / 5	need help with CreateObject (warning: new to this, so I may have incorrect terminology) Hello- I have a VB COM component (server) that I want to create an instance of in VB- using code, not including it as a "reference". So, I'm trying to to use VBScript CreateObject to do so- is this possible? So, I have something like this: With ScriptControl1 Dim MyObject As Object AllowUI = True Set MyObject = CreateObject("clsMultiDropServer") IsObject (MyObject) End With It doesn't work. Anyone have any tips for what I am doing wrong? I'm not even sure I'm going about it in the correct way. Thanks, Al

A L #3 / 5	need help with CreateObject sabba- I guess I need some hand holding. clsMultiDropServer I think is the name of the class, how do I figure out the name of the object? I have no idea what that is. How would I figure that out?

Brian #4 / 5	need help with CreateObject Are you trying to create this object in a web enviroment, a client/server enviroment, or server enviroment only? The fully qualified name would be the name of the DLL (not including extension) and the name of the class, e.g. "MyDllname.clsMultiDropServer". If you are in a VB client/server environment, you do not need to use the Scripting object to use CreateObject, as it is a regular method of VB. If you are trying to create this object in a client, and the object exists on a remote (server) machine, you will need to register the component's type library on the client machine and check it's DCOM properties with dcomcnfig.exe, a utility that allows you to specify the remote location of the actual component.

Eric Rudisil #5 / 5	need help with CreateObject Typically, in VB, the full ProgID (programmatic ID) is formed like "ProjectName.ClassName" So, a fresh, out-of-the-add-project-wizard form ProgID would look like "Project1.Class1" Good luck, Eric Rudisill Quote: > sabba- > I guess I need some hand holding. > clsMultiDropServer I think is the name of the class, how do I figure out > the name of the object?
