Sub Class

Hello people,

Here's my simplified code and errors. "TestParameters" is the vilian but why. This and all my simplified code works within tenScripting but place it into scripts under HS3 and and trigger it (Test2.Main) via an event and it fails.

Public Class Test2

    Public Sub Main(Parms As Object)

        Dim p As TestParameters = Nothing

    End Sub

End Class

Public Class TestParameters

    Public _paramINT As Integer = 0

    Public Sub Here()

    End Sub

    Public Property ParamINT As Integer
        Get
            Return _paramINT
        End Get
        Set(value As Integer)
            _paramINT = value
        End Set
    End Property

End Class

Is the code you posted exactly as it appears in the script folder file?

If so, the Class/End Class statements around the Sub Main shouldn't be there.

When testing under tenScripting, there should be a set of Class/End Class
around the entire set of code.

Did you use the Export function to move the script from tenScripting to the script folder, or did you do so manually?

No, There are two scripts that where generated in the Scripts folder (Test2 and TestParameters), both without the Class/End Class. I have tried to instantiate the class TestParameters and change it to a structure but something is not playing nice.

By the way, your scripting tool rocks!

In order to instantiate an object within an HS3 script, it must either be defined within that same script, or be compiled into a DLL file, and that DLL file must be loaded by HS3 when it starts up (settings.ini parameter: ScriptingReference)

You cannot define a class in one HS3 script and use it in another HS3 script. Only one is compiled and loaded into memory at the same time. You should define the class and use it within a single script. In tenscripting, your structure would look something like:

Class myScriptName
use myClass

Class myClass
define myClass
End Class
End Class


The reason you were able to make it work within tenScripting is that when you run the tenScripting project, Visual Studio compiles ALL of the .vb files in the project and loads them into memory.

Ahhh,

Makes sense. I think I have a solution using RunScriptFunc().

Thanks Again!
