Passing IDispatch-based objects in and out

[Nick Shrayer]

Hi Leor,

 

I didn't have a chance to install the plugin yet and test it but just want to ask a very preliminary question. Is plugin expected to correctly handle "Dynamic Objects"? Specifically, I have an ActiveX which is written in .NET and it method takes abstract "object" parameters marshalled as IDispatch. Will I be able to pass arbitrary JavaScript object to such method? Will it be then seen as IDispatch? Could such JavaScript-based object have properties which are functions so I could dynamically invoke them back from ActiveX? I.e. invoke through IDispatch::Invoke without need in ActiveX events?

 

Thanks in advance

Nick

Hi Nick,

The best answer I can give you is that I am not sure.

I can only encourage you to give it a try (would probably be a good idea to have debug logging enabled from the start) and see what happens.

There are two issues that might prove to be a problem: the first is that .NET ActiveX objects might not work properly with this plugin, and the second is the handling of Javascript objects - I don't think it'll be treated as an IDispatch object.

If you do decide to try it, I'd love to hear about the results.

Leeor.

Nick
