COMatePLUS version 1.2

[Nico]

yes, of course

but the code doesn't work, Here is the code of MSDN
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 85%29.aspx

Code: Select all

    
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileStream As New SpFileStream
Dim Voice As  SpVoice

'Create a  SAPI voice
Set Voice = New SpVoice
	
'The output audio data will be saved to ttstemp.wav file
FileName = "c:\ttstemp.wav"
	
'Create a file; set DoEvents=True so TTS events will be saved to the file
FileStream.Open FileName, SSFMCreateForWrite, True

'Set the output to the FileStream
Set Voice.AudioOutputStream = FileStream
	
'Speak the text
Voice.Speak "hello world"

'Close the Stream
FileStream.Close

'Release the objects
Set FileStream = Nothing
Set Voice = Nothing

Your code with my modification worked fine here.

[Nico]

yes you are right, I do not know what happened during my first attempt

thank you for your patience

Hi, not sure if I'm right, but when using EnableExplicit I got warnings about three undefined variables: winerror, len and *Buffer. Maybe this can be modified sometimes

The same problem with EnableExplicit and my own problem

I can't create a "VirtualBox.Session" Object. The SDK can you download here:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... -68302.zip

My testcode:

Code: Select all

IncludePath "..\..\"
XIncludeFile "COMatePLUS.pbi"

Define.COMateObject virtualbox, machine, session

virtualbox = COMate_CreateObject("VirtualBox.VirtualBox")

If virtualbox
  Debug "VirtualBox Version " + virtualbox\GetStringProperty("Version") ; works
  machine = virtualbox\GetObjectProperty("findMachine('WinXP_SP3')") ; change to a real vm
  If machine
    Debug machine\GetStringProperty("id") ; works
    session  = COMate_CreateObject("VirtualBox.Session") ; <- doesn't work
    If session
      Debug "session"
      session\Release()
    EndIf
    machine\Release()
  EndIf

  virtualbox\Release()
EndIf

   Set mach = vb.findMachine("WinXP_SP3")
   Print "Machine: " & mach.name  & " ID: " & mach.id

   StartVm vb, mach

this works fine.

anyone got comateplus (latest version from srods place)
got working with PB4.51 ?

on the most examples (WMI ones) , i got an error at
COMate_GetObject() Procedure,
Line 374 hResult = iPersist\Load( bstr2, 0)

Bad Parameter type: a string is expected.

Unfortunality, i don't have a clue where to look
for the definition or how to solve this.
anyone can help ?

Does anyone have any experience using COMate Plus with the "ActiveLock" COM DLL? (http://www.activelocksoftware.com/)

I have tried to create an ActiveLock object using this:

Code: Select all

Define.COMateObject ALObject
ALObject = COMate_CreateObject("ActiveLock3.IActiveLock")

which fails at this line in COMatePlus.pbi:

Code: Select all

229            hResult = CoGetClassObject_(clsid, #CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER|#CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, 0, ?IID_IClassFactory, @cf)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Eric

I use COMate to send Emails via COMate_CreateObject("Outlook.Application").
Does anybody knows if its possible to use also other Email clients than Outlook,
eg. Thunderbird?
