ActiveScript for AutoHotkey v1.1
Provides an interface to Active Scripting languages like VBScript and JScript, without relying on Microsoft's ScriptControl, which is not available to 64-bit programs.
License: Use, modify and redistribute without limitation, but at your own risk.

ComObject := ComDispatch0(Object) - not needed in AutoHotkey v1.1.17+
Wraps an AutoHotkey object in an IDispatch interface, allowing COM clients such as the VBScript or JScript engines to call methods and set and get values. See Example_Dispatch0.ahk for examples. ComDispatch0 is based on fincs' ComDispatch, modified by Coco.
ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
Very cool, thanks lexikos. How much tweaking does it need to make it work for v2? I noticed a couple of parsing loops and a .Remove() somewhere. Other than that most parts are v2 compatible... unless I missed something.
Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
I would have to review the code closely and test to answer that. I didn't bother since there are some things it uses that I'm planning on changing soon, like meta-functions.

Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
This is very nice & much more elegant than my previous ScriptControl marshaling workaround. I'm also glad to see that my old ComDispatch lib is deemed useful by others and is updated/enhanced.
Huh? I thought the new property syntax was introduced in order to minimize the need to use meta-functions and such avoid having to change how they work?lexikos wrote:there are some things it uses that I'm planning on changing soon, like meta-functions.

Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
fincs: The idea was to minimize the cost in terms of any inconvenience that might be caused by making the meta-functions less quirky. It's still true that (as I said) "the rules for how meta-functions work are complicated and error-prone," and that needs to be changed even if meta-functions aren't needed as much. By eliminating properties from the things meta-functions are commonly used for, there's less need to have them tied into the inheritance chain as they are now.

Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
Edit: Ok, I got it, the same interface pointer is used for subsequent instance(s). So, say for SetWBClientSite(), can I recycle the same IOleClientSite, IServiceProvider and IInternetSecurityManager interface pointers(previously used) for subsequent WebBrowser control(s).
@lexikos: I noticed that when you called .vftable() you used the class object itself (ActiveScriptSite), hence, the buffer is stored in the class object's member(s). Is this OK, since it gets overridden every time a new instance of ActiveScriptSite is created? Or it's OK since IActiveScript::SetScriptSite is only needed one-time? I'm currently writing a mod for your SetWBClientSite() routine and would like to base it on your ActiveScriptSite class, e.g.: the way you stored a weak reference to the instance of ActiveScript etc..
PS: It would be nice if you(or anyone knowledgeable) can do a tutorial on how to implement COM interfaces. I did learn/understand a few things, (while updating ComDispatch, etc.)

It's not an interface pointer, but a virtual function table. Normally in compiled languages, there is one table per class (per super-class/interface if it inherits multiple), and this is constructed at compile time, since the functions don't change at run-time. An interface pointer is a pointer to a pointer to the virtual function table. This is why you can compare NumGet(&obj) between objects to identify whether they're the same type of object. The interface pointer either points at the beginning of the object, or math can be used to locate the beginning of the object (the compiler handles this). For example, the second field of my ActiveScriptSite is a pointer to the IActiveScriptSiteWindow vtable, hence this line:
Code: Select all
this -= A_PtrSize ; Cast to IActiveScriptSite
It doesn't get overridden. Each vftable (_vft and _vft_w) is constructed only once; the first two lines of _vftable() ensure this.Is this OK, since it gets overridden every time a new instance of ActiveScriptSite is created?
Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
I see that's why: func_addr := NumGet(NumGet(interface_ptr + 0), zero_based_index * A_PtrSize)lexikos wrote:An interface pointer is a pointer to a pointer to the virtual function table.

Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
The comment was:
The references are: your ahk script -> ActiveScript -> IActiveScript -> site -> ActiveScript -> IActiveScript ... If the references were counted, there would be a circular reference.
If your interface might be called after the ahk script releases all references to its WBClientSite instance, you need to implement reference counting to keep the interface alive until the WebBrowser no longer needs it. Otherwise, you don't need to implement reference counting.
Code: Select all
; AddRef and Release don't do anything because we want to avoid circular references.
; The site and IActiveScript are both released when the AHK script releases its last
; reference to the ActiveScript object.

I guess you figured out this is the interface pointer, not the object.Another thing
Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
lexikos,
I see your vbscript example... is there a way to pass parameters into the vbscript. You show how to access variables to get them out but what if the vbscript function accepts and requires parameters? I tried:
vb.variable := "blah" before executing vb.exec(code) but that didn't work
Relayer

Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
That's not passing a parameter...Relayer wrote:vb.variable := "blah" before executing vb.exec(code) but that didn't work
The example uses vb.GetAnswer() to call the GetAnswer function which was defined via Exec. If you want to pass a parameter, just do it.
Code: Select all
vb.GetAnswer(42)
However, in AutoHotkey v1.1.18+ this requirement doesn't apply to JScript.Example.ahk wrote:vb.Answer := 42 ; Set a previously-declared global variable.
Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
I've updated the script:
- JScript 5.8 (IE8) features such as JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify() are enabled automatically when using JScript.
- AddObject() now supports normal AutoHotkey objects on AutoHotkey v1.1.17+.
Re: ActiveScript - Host VBScript and JScript in-process
I've added a method for enabling the use of WinRT (the framework used by Windows 10 apps) with JsRT.Edge, and an example for displaying a toast notification.
There's a list of WinRT APIs which can be used from desktop apps:
