Getting Started

  1. Download setup32.msi (or setup64.msi).
  2. Run setup32.msi to install WB9ENT.OCX and WWB9_32A.DLL/WWB9_32W.DLL.

Where's the Script Engine?

WB9ENT.OCX accesses WWB9_32A.DLL/WWB9_32W.DLL for WinWrap® Basic script editing, debugging and execution. MFC applications can access WWB9_32A.DLL/WWB9_32W.DLL directly.

What's on the WinWrap® Basic Side

ActiveX Description
BasicIdeCtl An ActiveX control that can be placed on a form. Macro editing, execution and debugging are supported through the IDE embedded in the form.
BasicNoUIObj An ActiveX object that can be referenced or created without a containing form. Macro execution is supported through the object. Macro editing and debugging are not supported.
BasicIdeObj An ActiveX object that can be referenced or created without a containing form. The IDE window for this object is not created until the CreateOverlappedWindow method is called. Macro execution is supported through the object. Macro editing and debugging are supported through the IDE in the overlapped window created by CreateOverlappedWindow.
Handler A handler object provides access to a single WinWrap® Basic Sub or Function.
Handlers A handlers collection is a collection of Handler objects.
Module (untyped Object) The module object provides access to a WinWrap® Basic module's Public Subs, Functions and Properties.

What's on the Application Side

COM is used to extend the WinWrap® Basic language using the IDispatch, ITypeInfo and ITypeLib interfaces.  The following class can be used with AddExtensionWithEvents:

Sample ATL/MFC Class (IDL) 
[
	object,
	uuid(F282C030-CF00-11d4-8F7F-0000861EF01D),
	dual,
	// *** Event: The IAppObject interface only has the properties
	// and methods listed. It's an implementation interface so it is hidden.
	hidden,
	oleautomation,
	nonextensible,
	// ***
	helpstring("IAppObject Interface"),
	pointer_default(unique)
]
interface _IAppObject : IDispatch
{
	[propget, id(0), helpstring("property Value")]
	HRESULT Value([out, retval] BSTR *pVal);
	[propput, id(0), helpstring("property Value")]
	HRESULT Value([in] BSTR newVal);
};
[
	uuid(F282C032-CF00-11d4-8F7F-0000861EF01D),
	helpstring("_IAppObjectEvents Interface"),
	// *** Event: _IAppObjectEvents is an implementation interface so it is hidden.
	hidden
	// ***
]
dispinterface _IAppObjectEvents
{
	properties:
	methods:
	[id(1), helpstring("method ValueChanged")] void ValueChanged();
};
[
	uuid(F282C031-CF00-11d4-8F7F-0000861EF01D),
	helpstring("AppObject Class")
]
coclass AppObject
{
	[default] interface _IAppObject;
	[default, source] dispinterface _IAppObjectEvents;
};
  
Sample VB6 Class 
Option Explicit

Event ValueChanged()

Private mValue As String

Property Get Value() As String
Attribute Value.VB_UserMemId = 0
    Value = mValue
End Property

Property Let Value(NewVal As String)
    mValue = NewVal
    RaiseEvent ValueChanged
End Property

What's on the User's Side

Sample WinWrap® Basic script using ATL/MFC/VB6 classes above: 
Sub Main
    AppObject = "hi"
End Sub
Public Sub AppObject_ValueChanged()
    MsgBox AppObject
End Sub
