#182997 - 2007-11-28 05:18 PM VB to Kix - Help!
n1st n1st Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-06-08 Posts: 14	Hi Folks, I need to covert the following from vb to kix and haven't figured it out yet... Set MySite = CreateObject("CuteFTPPro.TEConnection") MySite.Option("AutoCloseDelay") = 5 ...If there wasn't the "= 5" at the end, I would do it like this... $MySite_AutoCloseDelay = $MySite.Option("AutoCloseDelay") ...but taking it 1 step further doesn't seem to work... $MySite_AutoCloseDelay = 5 Your thoughts please.

Witto Witto MM club member Registered: 2004-09-29 Posts: 1828 Loc: Belgium	What does this return? Code: Break On Dim $RC $RC = SetOption('Explicit','On') Dim $MySite $MySite = CreateObject('CuteFTPPro.TEConnection') 'Error ' @ERROR ': ' @SERROR ? Get $RC

n1st n1st Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-06-08 Posts: 14	When run, it generated... Break On Dim $RC $RC = SetOption( ERROR : unknown command [Explicit]! Script: D:\ECG\Kix\source\SFTP4.kix Line : 4 After that line was commented out, it generated... Break On Dim $RC Error 0: The operation completed successfully. ...so yes, I have no problem creating the object. I can do an operation like this: $MySite.Protocol = "SFTP" But I can't assign a value to something like this: $MySite.Option("AutoCloseDelay") But it's easy in vbs: MySite.Option("AutoCloseDelay") = 5 Thanks.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	it's the old property method thingie. as far as I know, kixtart still doesn't support property-methods. that is, a method that can be feeded a value. some com-objects let you overcome that by having something like .value property to play with. like excel. But if you can't find that kinda thing in the cuteFTP com docs, I bet you are out of luck. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

It seems you can only Get the value for the AutoCloseDelay option and not Set it

Break On
DIM $RC
$RC = SetOption("Explicit", "On")
DIM $MySite
$MySite = CreateObject("CuteFTPPro.TEConnection")
'Error ' @ERROR ': ' @SERROR ?
$MySite.Option("AutoCloseDelay")
?
'Error ' @ERROR ': ' @SERROR ?
Get $RC

Returns

Code:

Error 0: The operation completed successfully.
60
Error 0: The operation completed successfully.

Trying to Set the value by adding

$MySite.Option("AutoCloseDelay") = 60

returns

Code:

AutoCloseDelay
ERROR : unexpected command!
Script: C:\Script\untitled.kix
Line  : 10

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	just like I said. $mysite.option() looks like a method/function to kixtart. and thus the "AutoCloseDelay" is the argument, input for it. when you then add the "= 60" to the end, kixtart doesn't get it. but. there is a catch. it behaves really badly. when you parse this in your mind, kixtart actually SHOULD translate it like: get method value for $MySite.Option("AutoCloseDelay") then compare it with 60 and that should not return the error you got there. so, either there is a parser bug or Ruud has tried to implement that stuff and failed, thus causing a bug in the parser. hey, it's a bug, again. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	I may be way off base but ISTR that some COM objects had a workaround for KiX by keeping all the parms inside the parens. $MySite.Option("AutoCloseDelay",60) _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Plus this syntax: $MySite.Option("AutoCloseDelay") = 60 is NOT supported by Kixtart - VBScript supports it - Kix no. -Shawn

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	hmm... this issue has been discussed quite much way back. but, I still think, that if the syntax is not supported, that is, it's supposed to work as normal kixtart syntax, then, it's a bug and that can be corrected. to clarify, doing: Code: left("some",2) = "mama" does not produce "some" on the console and kixtart to crash. why this should be different? does not produce _________________________ ! download KiXnet
