I am looking for a way to interface AutoIT and PTC Creo using the Creo VB API COM object. I am able to do this with VBScript and in theory should also be able to replicate the same into AutoIT as well. However, For some reason, the connection does not seem be made from the Autoit script but is able to be made with VBScript. Below is my working VBScript. Dim asynconn, conn, session Set asynconn = CreateObject("pfcls.pfcAsyncConnection") MsgBox TypeName(asynconn), 0, "COM Type" Set conn = asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5) 'Set conn = asynconn.Start("C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 4.0\M090\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe",".") MsgBox TypeName(conn), 0, "Connection Type" Set sess = conn.session MsgBox TypeName(sess), 0, "Session Type" It opens a connection to the COM object in Creo, and message box outputs the variable types. Below is my NOT working AutoIT Script: Local $asynconn, $conn, $session $asynconn = ObjCreate("pfcls.pfcAsyncConnection") MsgBox(0, "COM Type",ObjName($asynconn)) $conn = $asynconn.Connect("", "", ".", 5) ;$conn = $asynconn.Start("C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 4.0\M090\Parametric\bin\parametric.exe", ".") MsgBox(0, "Connection Type", ObjName($conn)) $session = $conn.Session Msgbox(0, "Session Type", ObjName($session)) The connection on the $conn object is not being made, even if I start Creo or try connecting to an existing session. I know that there is probably a very few people who would be able to replicate this (those who have access to Creo), but would really appreciate help if someone has any ideas as to why this could be happening. Thanks. Sudeep.

Hi, First , I don't know nothing about COM and I saw this script : #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Example() Func Example() ; Error monitoring. This will trap all COM errors while alive. ; This particular object is declared as local, meaning after the function returns it will not exist. Local $oErrorHandler = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "_ErrFunc") ; Create Internet Explorer object Local $oIE = ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application") ; Check for errors If @error Then Return $oIE.Visible = True ; set visibility ; Custom sink object Local $oIEEvents = ObjEvent($oIE, "_IEEvent_", "DWebBrowserEvents2") ; Navigate somewhere $oIE.navigate("http://www.google.com/") ; Check for errors while loading If @error Then $oIE.Quit() Return EndIf ; Wait for page to load While 1 If $oIE.readyState = "complete" Or $oIE.readyState = 4 Then ExitLoop Sleep(10) WEnd EndFunc ... Now I want to know how can I find & list ALL those possible "functions" of a specific COM object ( those .Visible, .navigate, .readyState ... ), since I can't find those things nowhere listed
