How to point to a function/method

[joe_gan]

Hi,

I know in the C++ language, it is possible to pass the pointer of a function to an object. How about VB ?, I saw there is "GetRef" in the WSH's method, are they the same?, how to make used of GetRef?

Thank you.

There are functions and Sub routines in VBS script, my question though is the object/function your referencing outside the wsh script? or in a DLL not included in the default WSH libraries?

1) You can reference a function in a DLL registered with the system.
2) If your trying to call a function from another script file, then NO it will not work. All code that you want to execute must be in the same script file. EXCEPT!
3) there is a way around this by using XML and writing all your functions in a second file. Then you can reference both files in XML and use VBS or Jscript in the same WSH program.

Or did I miss the question totally?

Thank for your reply.

Now, I know how to make use of GetRef in my application. Here is a sample if anyone is interested


Dim hFunc ' Function Holder
Function myFunc(Data)
myFunc = "Processed : " & Data
End Function

Set hFunc = GetRef("myFunc")
Wscript.echo hFunc("ABCDE")

=================

Output : "Processed : ABCDE"
