Script parameters without using events?

That HsTouch passed parameters differently if you have only one, versus more than one.

Frankly, I have not passed parameters from HS Touch yet (but will be doing so shortly). However, when I was experimenting with it yesterday, GetType on parms returned a simple string type (not an array) when the parameter list was empty. Actually did surprise me. Expected a "null object".

Of course if you use an Object like I described, it will not make any difference.

Here is expanded code for handling input from both HS3 and HS Touch. Assuming that HS3 will pass a single string, with the three parmeters separated by commas (i.e. "A,B,C"), and HS Touch will pass three strings (in one array of strings):

Public Sub Main(ByVal parms As Object)
  Dim P1 As String = "", P2 As String = "", P3 As String = ""
  If parms.GetType().ToString = "System.String" Then
    Dim P() As String = parms.ToString().Split(",")
    P1 = P(0)
    P2 = P(1)
    P3 = P(2)
  Else
    P1 = parms(0).ToString
    P2 = parms(1).ToString
    P3 = parms(2).ToString
  End If
  ...
End Sub

All right, got home, and ran a quick test. You are right that one parameter does use a string array ("System.String[]"). Bad assumption on my part. However, no parameters does still use an empty, simple string ("System.String").

Thanks for checking. I am not running HsTouch, so had no way to verify.
