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);

}
