It has everything to do with how the type is implemented in code. It
can also have a slight amount to do with how the project itself is
built if you use an IDL file to generate a type library (which I
recommend that you do) you will need to link that type library as a
resource when you build the project).
You can read about using ATL to ease several of the steps involved

I don't know what a dispatched object is. How can I tell? Is that
something to do with the coding in C++ or how the project is compiled in
Visual Studio?

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Creating a Com Object in JAWS scripts
Is the object dispatch based? (either dual or purely an IDispatch
implementation)..
Jaws is not capable of dealing with non-dispatch based objects.

I created a DLL using Visual Studio and would like to connect objects in
the
DLL in my JAWS scripts.
I am not seeing the object in JAWS and wonder if anyone has any pointers.
Here is what I did:
1. Compiled test.DLL and made sure the manifest was embedded in
the
DLL (in the Visual Studio Properties dialog).
2. Registered the DLL in Windows using:
regsvr32 (full path to DLL)
The return said that the DLL was properly registerd.
3. In my JAWS scripts I have the lines:
var object o = CreateObjectEx( "ObjectName", false, "test.dll" )
Besides the fact that I am unable to access any of the methods of the DLL
from within JAWS, I have a test like:
If !o then
SayString( "object was not created";
EndIf
That verifies that the object was not created.
What am I doing wrong here? Is there something I'm missing in the call
to
CreateObjectEx or how one should set the properties inside VS to get this
to
work?
Thanks.
