ObjDestroy command? Opposite of ObjCreate

[splatz]

Hi all,

I have a script that creates a COM connection to iTunes, using the following command:

$iTunesApp = ObjCreate("iTunes.Application")

It works great. The problem I am having is when I attempt to quit iTunes, the autoit script does not disconnect itself, and iTunes pops up a warning. I would like to know if there is a command I can call within autoit to either disconnect the object from iTunes, or destroy the object completely.

Thanks,

Splat

You should be able to do this by setting the object variable to 0 or a null string ("").

$iTunesApp = 0

Hi, and thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, setting the object variable to null does not destroy the actual object. iTunes still believes that autoit is connected to it. I know there must be some way, because if I ask autoit to terminate itself when iTunes quits, i don't receive an error. This means that autoit performs some disconnect command when quitting. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Maybe try this:

$iTunesApp.Close

Maybe try this:

$iTunesApp.Close

Unfortunately, that didn't work either. That command is trying to ask the object to do something. What I'm looking for is a command to tell autoit to disconnect the given object. Thanks for the guesses tho!

Take a look at this thread, depending on the object used:
