regasm reads .net assembly metadata to perform registration, while
regsvr32 simply calls a function exported from the library
(DllRegisterServer) and it is then up to the library to take whatever
steps it needs (if you use ATL this can be automated to a certain
degree by using the registration script system). Generally if the file
is a .net assembly use regasm but if it is native code use regsvr32

Yes, and what is it that determines whether one should use regsvr32, or the
dot net thing, RegAsm?
In Pete's case, the third parameter to CreateObjectEx. Isn't that the
manifest name? But, that is embedded in the dll. So, what if you just
eliminate that third parameter.

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.
