Thought I would toss this idea out there ... how about something like a LoadLibrary (COM TypeLibrary) feature ... kinda like loading a "reference" in Visual Basic ... it could be called like this:
$wsh = LoadLibrary("IWshRuntimeLibrary")
and then all the components of the library could be "creatable" right-out of the library reference ....
$fso = $wsh.FileSystemObject()
The BIG added benefit though is - we could access ALL the library information, especially things like Enumerations .... heres a green-lighting sample script:
Code:
$wsh = LoadLibrary("IWshRuntimeLibrary")
$fso = $wsh.FileSystemObject()
$drive = $fso.GetDrive("c:")
If $drive.DriveType = $wsh.Fixed Then ?"Drive is fixed" EndIf
I bet that shell-object and wmi providing that same info is something you already knew... and you actually wanted more than what your THEN example was able to show. yes, I think do too, for some thingies this would help.
well, i just thought this would be a wonderfull way to access all those enumerations, without having to build something in the Kixtart language itself.
hmm... ja, I can understand you wanting that. and I indeed want something too but it does not have anything to do with enums but things like video rendering, sound recording and so on that some libs do provide but not via automation...
