[v2] ComObjConnect not working

[xroot]

ComObjConnect not closing AHKV2 when clicking system close button X.
Escape key works fine.
It works in V1, and help docs for ComObjConnect in v1,v2 are pretty much the same.
Anyone know whats up with v2?
Thanks for any help.

Code: Select all

IE_OnQuit(){
    ExitApp
}

ie := ComObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")
ComObjConnect(ie,"IE_")
ie.Navigate("about:blank")
ie.Visible := true

Esc::
    ie.Quit
    ExitApp

it has to do with https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2120&start=40#p276644
OnQuit doesnt have any parameters, Params in

Code: Select all

PrefixEventName([Params..., ComObject])
{
    ... event-handling code ...
    return ReturnValue
}

is empty, but ahk additionally passes to the event handler ComObject, the object used in ComObjConnect(in this case ie), so when u close the iexplore, an event is fired and ahk goes looking for a function IE_OnExit which accepts 1 parameter. since no such function has been defined in ur script, nothing happens.

change it to IE_OnExit(*) if u dont care about the additional parameters

i think u should have gotten an exception though

What about with a101? I have some code that is only working on v1 but not on v2-a101.

Code: Select all

#Persistent

OnExit("beforeExit")

oxl := ComObjCreate("Excel.Application")
ComObjConnect(oxl, "oXL_")
oWorkbook := oxl.Workbooks.Add()

oxl.Visible := True
oxl.WindowState := xlMaximized := -4137
return

oXL_WorkbookNewSheet(args*) {
    msgbox("new workbook")
}

beforeExit() {
    Global
    
    oxl := ""
}

; uncomment for v1
; msgbox(text) {
    ; msgbox, % text
; }

idk about a101. what if u specified the arguments explicitly, no varargs?

I tried this but still didn't work

Code: Select all

#Persistent

OnExit("beforeExit")

oxl := ComObjCreate("Excel.Application")
ComObjConnect(oxl, "oXL_")
oWorkbook := oxl.Workbooks.Add()

oxl.Visible := True
oxl.WindowState := xlMaximized := -4137
return

oXL_NewWorkbook(wb) {
    ; msgbox(Type(wb))
    msgbox("new workbook")
}

beforeExit() {
    Global
    
    oxl := ""
}

; uncomment for v1
; msgbox(text) {
    ; msgbox, % text
; }

It also does not work on a103 even if I use the asterisk to discard surplus params.

[swagfag]

the event accepts 3 parameters: the workbook, the new sheet and the ComObjConnected comobject(in this case oxl)
i tested on a101 and a103 the signature oXL_NewWorkbook(wb, sh, comobj) but it didnt trigger.
i also tried all kinds of other combinations: 0,1,2,3,4,5 params; only varargs; varargs with some params; star; star with some params.. but none of them worked on v2
i think this is a bug, however, unrelated to star's implementation

i think this is a bug, however, unrelated to star's implementation

Agreed. Thanks for helping to test!

Should I post a separate thread for my issue in the Bugs forum or the v2 development forum?

[swagfag]

I think it'll get more traction in bugs
