Re: [amibroker] Starting AB from script - AB version 4.78.1 / Windows 2000

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxxxx>]

Ara,

 

Yes you are right in that new ActiveXObject() syntax should be used in JScript.

CreateObject should only be used in VBScript.

 

As to your question: I have tested it and AB does not remain running on my machine

after script is finished (of course AB was NOT running before so it was created and closed by script)

 

I have used this simple script:

AB = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");
AA = AB.Analysis;
AA.Scan();

 

If you are having problems you may add AB.Quit() call at the end of your script.

TJ,

 

Thanks... got AB to start properly and complete the scripts ... using

AB = new ActiveXObject("Broker.Application");

 

 

Problem / Question:  At the end of the scripts, AB remained active (in task Manager), and the AA window remained on the screen, contrary to your comments below.

 

Closing the AA window did not remove Broker.exe from task Manager. I had to explixitly terminate from within Task Manager.

 

 

AB was not running when I initiated the script.

 

 

Also if this info is useful... when I use:

AB = CreateObject("Broker.Application");  I get JScript Runtime Error: "Object Expected,  Code 800A138F

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

Ara

Ara,

 

First, the path in _javascript_ has to be written with DOUBLE backslashes:

 

AB.LoadDatabase("D:\\AB Dbs\\QP3");

 

Second thing is that the behaviour you describe is normal:

 

You initiate AmiBroker, load database and THEN..... your script ends, and Windows Scripting host

automatically destroys all created objects (in this case: AmiBroker).

 

AmiBroker will be running ONLY FOR DURATION of your script (if it was created in the script).

 

AB will continue to run ONLY if it was running BEFORE script was started (so script did not create object but just attached to running instance).

Am trying to start AB from a jscript....

 

AB = CreateObject("Broker.Application");
AB.LoadDatabase("D:\AB Dbs\QP3");

 

When I start the script, I see AB listed in the Pocesses (Task Manager) for about a second or so, then it's gone.

 

Anyone know what is happening?

 

Thanks
