ObjGet (Beta) giving COM error

[GMK]

Let's say I have multiple PowerTerm Pro windows open.

Global $oObj = ObjGet("", "PowerTermPro.Document") ; <-- Production command works ok for the first instance only
Global $oObj = ObjGet("", "PowerTermPro.Document", 1) ; <-- Beta command gives COM Error: 0x80020006 Unknown name.

Can anyone shed any light on this? How can I get access to multiple objects of the same class?

Use something like in the _ExcelBookAttach function?

$o_Result = ObjGet("", "Excel.Application")
 If @error Or Not IsObj($o_Result) Then
;~   ConsoleWrite("--> Warning from function _ExcelAttach, No existing Excel.Application object" & @CRLF)
  Return SetError(1, 1, 0)
 EndIf
 Local $o_workbooks = $o_Result.Application.Workbooks
 If Not IsObj($o_workbooks) Or $o_workbooks.Count = 0 Then
;~   ConsoleWrite("--> Warning from function _ExcelAttach, No existing Excel.Application windows" & @CRLF)
  Return SetError(1, 2, 0)
 EndIf
 For $o_workbook In $o_workbooks
  Switch $s_mode
   Case "filename"
    If $o_workbook.Name = $s_string Then
     Return $o_workbook
    EndIf
   Case "filepath"
    If $o_workbook.FullName = $s_string Then
     Return $o_workbook
    EndIf
   Case "title"
    If ($o_workbook.Application.Caption) = $s_string Then
     Return $o_workbook
    EndIf
   Case Else
;~  ConsoleWrite("--> Error from function _ExcelAttach, Invalid Mode Specified" & @CRLF)
    Return SetError(1, 3, 0)
  EndSwitch
 Next

To be able to send COM commands to the PowerTerm Pro object, the best way I've found so far is this:

So it's very backwards--create or attach to a "document," then get the application from there and you can send your commands.
