Objects Overview

ActiveX Automation provides access to objects in other applications. Each object supports a particular set of methods and properties. Each method/property has zero or more parameters. Parameters may be optional, in which case the parameter can be specified by using name := value.

• objexpr.method [expr][, ...] [param := expr][,...]
  Call method for objexpr.
• objexpr.method[([expr][, ...] [param := expr][,...])]
  Return the value of method for objexpr.
• objexpr.property[([expr][, ...] [param := expr][,...])]
  Return the value of property for objexpr.
• objexpr[([expr][, ...] [param := expr][,...])]
  Return the default value for the objexpr.
• objexpr.property[([expr][, ...])] = expr
  Assign the value of property for objexpr.
• objexpr[([expr][, ...])] = expr
  Assign the default value for the objexpr.
• Set objexpr.property[([expr][, ...])] = objexpr
  Set the object reference of property for objexpr.

Note: objexpr!name is shorthand for objexpr.default property("name"). Use objexpr![name] if name contains any characters that are not allowed in an identifier.
