ConnectObject Method
Connects the object's event sources to functions with a given prefix.
object.ConnectObject(objEventSource, strPrefix)
Arguments
object
WScript object.objEventSource
Required. Object you want to connect.strPrefix
Required. String value indicating the function prefix.
Remarks
Connected objects are useful when you want to sync an object's events. The ConnectObject method connects the object's outgoing interface to the script file after creating the object. Event functions are a combination of this prefix and the event name.
Example
The following example demonstrates using the ConnectObject method to connect to the WshRemote object's Error event.
Dim Controller, RemoteScript
Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController")
Set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver")
WScript.ConnectObject RemoteScript, "remote_"
RemoteScript.Execute
Do While RemoteScript.Status <> 2
WScript.Sleep 100
Loop
Sub remote_Error
Dim theError
Set theError = RemoteScript.Error
WScript.Echo "Error " & theError.Number & " - Line: " & theError.Line & ", Char: " & theError.Character & vbCrLf & "Description: " & theError.Description
WScript.Quit -1
End Sub
var Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController");
var RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver");
WScript.ConnectObject(RemoteScript, "remote_");
RemoteScript.Execute();
while (RemoteScript.Status != 2) {
WScript.Sleep(100);
}
function remote_Error()
{
var theError = RemoteScript.Error;
WScript.Echo("Error " + theError.Number + " - Line: " + theError.Line + ", Char: " + theError.Character + "\nDescription: " + theError.Description);
WScript.Quit(-1);
}
