- Start subscript of the arrays sent to the ActiveX or automation objects
- Passing the Automation arrays by value
AutomationParameter (Function) In french: AutomationParamètre Configures the management of accesses to the ActiveX objects and to the Automation objects.
// Defines the start subscript for the Automation arrays
AutomationParameter(apArrayBaseSubscript, 1)
Syntax
<Result> = AutomationParameter(<Parameter to process> [, <New value>])
<Result>: Type of the requested parameter Current value of the parameter. If <New value> is specified, returns the value before modification. <Parameter to process>: Integer constant This parameter can correspond to: | | | apArrayBaseSubscript | Specifies the source subscript for the arrays sent to the ActiveX or Automation objects.
Possible values for <New value>: 0 or 1 | | apArrayByValue | Forces the arrays sent to ActiveX or Automation objects to be passed by value.
Possible values for <New value>: True or False. | | apBinaryString | Retrieves the binary strings of OLE automation.
Possible values for <New value>: True or False
If the value is set to False (by default), the retrieval stops with the first binary 0. |
<New value>: Optional parameter, type of the parameter to modify Value that must be given to the parameter. Remarks Start subscript of the arrays sent to the ActiveX or automation objects When using the WLanguage arrays with ActiveX or automation objects, the WLanguage generates Automation arrays whose subscripts start from 0. Some ActiveX objects or Automation objects require arrays whose subscripts start from 1. To define the start subscript of the Automation arrays, all you have to do is use the following line of code:
AutomationParameter(apArrayBaseSubscript, 1)
Passing the Automation arrays by value WINDEV passes the WLanguage arrays by reference to the ActiveX or automation objects. Some ActiveX or Automation objects do not support the passage of arrays by reference. To force the arrays to be passed by value, the array must be enclosed in brackets during each call:
AutomationObject>>Method(5,(MyWLArray))
Instead of:
AutomationObject>>Method(5, MyWLArray)
To force all the arrays to be passed by value, all you have to do is use the following line of code:
AutomationParameter(apArrayByValue, True)
