I have spent hours looking into all possible ways to get this desired result:

have an autohotkey script change the maximum scale of a chart in an open excel document. i would really prefer to not resort to screen clicks, so i am trying to use ws4ahk.ahk, which allows VBscript to be inserted into AHK. my problem is that i dont know VB at all.

I used excel's built in macro recorder to get this code, the code i am trying to implement in AHK:

Code:
    Set oExcel = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
    Set oActiveSheet = oExcel.ActiveSheet
    Set oActiveChart = oActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 1")       
    oActiveChart.Activate
    ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = 40


This code works, but it is VBA, not VB, and apparently that makes a difference for external scripts. I tried plugging this code directly into the general ws4ahk format:

Code:
#include ws4ahk.ahk
WS_Initialize()
WS_Exec("Set oExcel       = GetObject(,""Excel.Application"")")
WS_Exec("Set oActiveSheet    = oExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(""tab"")")
WS_Exec("Set oActiveChart = oActiveSheet.ChartObjects(""Chart 1"")")
WS_Exec("oActiveChart.Activate")
WS_Exec("ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = 40")
WS_Uninitialize()



this produces an error:
Quote:
Object required: 'ActiveChart'


so then i try to change
Code:
WS_Exec("ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = 40")
to
Code:
WS_Exec("[b]o[/b]ActiveChart.Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = 40")
, and that gives me
Quote:
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'oActive.Axes'


Is this a simple fix? i have been searching for a method of converting VBA to VB to no avail. please help

@tank: you are correct that ws4ahk doesn't support VBA. i am wondering if it is an easy conversion to get this small chunk of code into VBS format? i know there are some differences between VBA and VBS but i am hopeful that it is a small change to get this to work. i looked at your excel library, it looks easy to use :) any chance you might expand it with a few chart functions? ;-)

@Reynoldz: ws4ahk.ahk is a handy library of functions that let you use javascript and VBscript in AHK.
