Anybody know how to get access to global intrinsic objects in netview?

I can get reference to XSIFactory and Application just fine, but when I use the same technique to get a reference to XSIUtils, XSIMath, or any of the other global objects, netview throws errors.

try {
                var oXSIFactory = new ActiveXObject( "XSI.Factory" );                    // OK
                var Application = oXSIFactory.CreateActiveXObject( "XSI.Application"      );           // OK
                var XSIMath     = oXSIFactory.CreateActiveXObject( "XSI.XSIMath"  );      // fail
                var XSIUtils    = oXSIFactory.CreateActiveXObject( "XSI.XSIUtils" );            // fail

} catch(e) {

                // Cannot access XSI, we're not running in Netview.
                Application.LogMessage( e.description );
                var Application = null;

}

// throws error:
Application.LogMessage( "'" + XSIUtils.Slash + "'" );

Thanks,

Matt

Nevermind.  Figured it out:

try {
                var oXSIFactory = new ActiveXObject( "XSI.Factory" );
                var Application = oXSIFactory.CreateActiveXObject( "XSI.Application"      );
                var XSIMath     = oXSIFactory.CreateActiveXObject( "XSI.Math"  );
                var XSIUtils    = oXSIFactory.CreateActiveXObject( "XSI.Utils" );

} catch(e) {

                // Cannot access XSI, we're not running in Netview.
                Application.LogMessage( e.description );
                var Application = null;

}

This should be documented, but isn't.

And to complete the collection, don't forget:
XSIUIToolkit = 'XSI.UIToolkit'
XSIDialog = "XSIDial.XSIDialog"

By the way, not sure in JS but in Python when getting the XSI.Application
object, I have to get ".Application" from it to get the real Application
object.
