Access procedures and other attributes of object added.

carlolsen

I have used "AddObject" to add an object to the script. I can successfully access the "published properties" of the object. Is it also allowed to access other members of the object like it's private or public functions and procedures directly? I get stack overflow errors when I try to do this, and am not sure if what I am doing is allowed, or if I'm simply not doing it right.

Thanks,

Carl.

Hi Carlo, sorry to bump up this old post but by any chance, have you managed to find a work around here?

Yes. Now, if I could just remember how....

Going from memory here, I had an object I made that was descended from a TPaintBox as in "TMyObject=class(TPaintBox)".

I attempted to register it like this:

TempScript.AddClass(TMyObject,'TMyObject');

What worked, was instead of passing in TMyObject, I pass in some distant ancestor, like the "TPaintBox" I made it from, like this:

TempScript.AddClass(TMyObject,'TPaintBox');

That seemed to do the trick, though I am not 100% sure I know what I am doing. My guess is that by sending TMyType, the script engine does not know what I'm talking about, since maybe it's not visible to it, but when I pass "TPaintBox", which is a common thing already exposed to the script engine, it works.

I hope this is at least a little bit helpful to you.
