Adding the ErrorLevel check for the WS_Eval() is good, and sharing a script to test with is effective. Just add one more ErrorLevel check after the WS_Exec() as well and you will get the error "Object Required: 'Wscript". The WS_Eval() calls are getting empty values because WS_Exec() failed before those variables were initialized.

Once you replace the use of Wscript, I think your script will probably work fine.

Thanks erictheturtle! Removing the wscript part did the trick.

Thanks Lexikos, that would be it. You should be able to use DispatchObj and ws4ahk together without any problems.

I gotta hand it to Lexikos, I wouldn't have had the patience to manually construct IDispatch objects in memory via AHK's somewhat clunky memory tweaking routines. Props to you for that.

Edit: OOPS. I need to actually read once in awhile. Sorry Lexikos, mad props go to you for writing that module.

I'm trying to adapt the WS_DEControl2.ahk library to the "latest" version of WS4AHK. You made a couple of changes in the meantime, including the WS_Exec() calls are now one parameter instead of multiple. I'm having a hard time translating the calls in the original to a one-parameter call.

Could you explain a bit how I'm supposed to adapt them? I keep on getting errors...

Example:

I don't suppose you're familiar with the C style printf commands, or the Python '%' operator for strings? Basically just replace each %v with the value of the corresponding variable and %s with the VBStr of the corresponding variable. Your example becomes:

Ok, thanks, I almost have it converted, apart from this:

This code isn't that difficult to understand, is it?

Oh, and can anyone confirm/deny that this still works on Vista? I understood it might not.

And thanks again

Very nice n-l-i-d, and thank you. This will be a helpful example for others.

I've had endless troubles trying to get strings through into the
Code
(
'Section
)
At first, I was trying to parse the strings into a function, but had no luck whatsoever. The only way I could get my code to work was to use %variable% within the code section which I thought was a no-no.
Can any tell me the correct method for parsing variables into this section of code?

Thanks erictheturtle, that's been a huge help

One more quick question, how do you send multiple parameters to a function? I haven't been able to get this to work:

WS_Eval(Success, "CSUpdate VBStr(Var1), VBStr(Var2), VBStr(Var3), VBStr(Var4), VBStr(Var5), VBStr(Var6), VBStr(Var7)")
