HI All--
I am using Browser.evaluate to make a java script call that returns me a IDispatch pointer but it fails to convert it to the java type at WebSite.Java in convertToJava method and gives me an exception saying "Return value not valid". Is there any way to handle the return value.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

No, the values that can be passed between JS and Java are restricted to
those spec'd in the javadoc. If you want to refer to the IDispatch
later on then you can probably have your evaluation assign it somewhere
in the JS world (eg.- window.myDispatch) for reference by future
evaluates. However there's no notion provided of a scripting object
that lives on one side of the JS/Java boundary with a directly-invokable
interface on the other side.

Hi Grant thanks for your reply.
Actually I am working on Visio activex control that is embedded in IE (html file). I am opening this file using SWT browser. On successful open I want to get instance of Visio ActiveX control.

Is there any way I can get this.

I was thinking of writing a BrowserFunction and setting the value from JS. But that is also not working. I am stuck.
