PowerScript function

automation server object.

Return value
Integer.
Returns 1 if the function succeeds and -1 if an error occurs.
Usage
Call this function to obtain a reference to the context object
model. If running the window ActiveX under Internet Explorer 3.0 or
greater and hostobject is an uninstantiated OleObject variable, the
function returns a reference to an ActiveX automation server object, which
you can use to control the hosting browser. If host object support is not
available, the function returns -1 and hostobject is null.
Examples
This example calls the GetHostObject function. Ici_info is an
instance variable of type ContextInformation, which has been populated
using the GetContextService function; ole1 is an instance variable of type
OLEObject:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
Integer li_return li_return = ici_info.GetHostObject(ole1) IF li_return = 1 THEN sle_1.Text = "GetHostObject succeeded" ELSE sle_1.Text = "GetHostObject failed" cb_goback.Enabled = FALSE cb_navigate.Enabled = FALSE END IF |
