Sorry pal - I didn't see your post there and thought maybe you had gone home or something.

It works ???

Can't wait to try it out - good call when you decided to use olegetobject instead of olecreateobject !!!

I guess IOleControl does have an Automation interface after all !

There are two ways to access components - through the standard COM Vtable interface and through Automation. Components that implement both have what's called a "Dual Interface".

Scripting languages like KiX usually support only Automation because it's dynamic and works at "runtime". Vtable COM is something thats built at compile time.

The bottom-line is that Automation is (relatively) slow compared to Vtable COM! I've actually seen some stats and can dig them up if anyone's interested!

YES !!! - I've been playing some SERIOUS Diablo II !!! My wrist and upper shoulders are killing me - this is what is known as "Diablo Syndrome".

I'm a little disapointed in some the changes they've made with Version 2 - and I still think there are some serious performance issues - but generally - it rocks !

Can't wait to try your script out though !

Shawn.
