| SYNTAX | createstaticobject( |
| RETURNS | OBJECT |
| FUNCTION | Creates the single static instance (one per AmiBroker session) of "Server.Class"
COM object. The return value should be assigned to a variable that is
used latter for calling the methods of the object.
This function is useful for "heavyweight" COM object like QuotesPlus
ActiveX for example. Note: this function creates the instance of the object only once when the formula is executed for the first time. Then the object is cached internally for all consecutive calls. It is also shared if multiple formulas use the same object using CreateStaticObject call. The object is automatically released when AmiBroker is closed. |
| EXAMPLE | myobj = CreateStaticObject("MyOwnActiveX.Class1"); myobj.Method( 1, 2, Close ); // call the method of myobj COM object |
