ScriptControl Reset method

[Christopher MacKenzie]

It seems that the ScriptControl's Reset() method doesn't quite work. After
calling the Reset() method I call AddCode() with some code that was
previously added before the Reset() and the control throws and exception
with a "redefinition" error. What I would like to do is allow a user to
make changes to code that is already added to the control and since there is
no RemoveCode() method, I am attempting to do it via Reset() and AddCode().
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Christopher

I tried to duplicate this with a WSH hosted script as the host for the control but didn't get any error after the reset.

 

set sc = createobject("msscriptcontrol.scriptcontrol")
sc.language = "vbscript"
sc.addcode "sub hello():echo ""hello"":end sub"
sc.addobject "ws",wscript,true
sc.state = 1
sc.codeobject.hello
sc.reset
sc.addcode "sub hello():echo ws.scriptfullname :end sub"
sc.addobject "ws",wscript,true
sc.state = 1
sc.codeobject.hello

 

Here's a link from an old post about problems with the language property after a reset when the control is hosted as a control on a form rather than as an automation server.

 

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q184/9/77.ASP

 

How do you host the control?  If as a control on a form, try hosting it via a global variable initialized in the form load event instead.  It's a shot in the dark, but the KB article establishes that is behaves differently depending on how it is hosted.

 

A full MSDN search on "script control" gave only 36 hits, none matching your problem.

Hi, Christopher!

You must manipulate with ScriptControl states (State property).

See help for additional information...
