JS Can't read my VB Array??

[ftpdoo]

Im returning an array from VB6 as a array of string:

Public Function getStatusUpdate As String()

But in my Java Script its being picked up as three square boxes!?

function GetStatusUpdate(workOrderNumber) {
update = FDCSScriptPlayer1.GetStatusUpdate(workOrderNumber);
x = ['one','two','three'];
alert(update);
var y = update[0];
alert;
}

Any idea how i can view this VB array in JavaScript??

Thanks,
Jonathan

most likely VB arrays are not the same as javascript arrays. have your VB func return some delimited string, then js can create an array.

return something like
"foo,bar,baz"
or
"foo~bar~baz"

then javascript can split it:
var myString = "foo~bar~baz";
var myArray = myString.split("~");

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); } finally { rtfm(); }

Should i not be able to view the array using:

alert(update[0]);


Instead i get a square?

If it is
[tt]FDCSScriptPlayer1.GetStatusUpdate(workOrderNumber);
[/tt]
which returns a vbarray and you want to access update, try this?
[tt]
var x=new VBArray(FDCSScriptPlayer1.GetStatusUpdate(workOrderNumber));
var update=x.toArray();
[/tt]

Thanks Tsuji,

But this gives me the following error: ??

An exception of type 'Microsoft JScript runtime error: VBArray expected' was not handled.

Any other ideas?

Check out in the vb environment vartype(...) see if it gives 8204, array of variants or something else?
