How can I activate another session and send/get text to/from it?

Or can you tell me if there is a similar post with the answer to it?

Hi,

Check out the Sessions object in HELP.

I can use this to activate the other session...

activatesession sessno("ABBS")

but how to I get the macro to print in that session or putstring?

Or can I make activatesession sessno("ABBS") some sort of object and do one of those...

Session.Screen.Putstring string

or

Session.Screen.Print at 2,3; string

Is there anyway to call a session by its name? Kind of like an appactivate on a child window? Is this possible?

If you check the Session Object in Help, you will see all the properties.

I would loop thru the sessions and display the property of interest in a msgbox.

Nothing seems to be working. Can an Infoconnect/Casl Macro screen exchange information with an Extra screen through any type of macro?

Post your code.

Sub Main ()
Dim ses1 As Object, ses2 As Object, Sys As Object
Set Sys = CreateObject("EXTRA.System")
Set ses1 = GetObject("c:\directory\file.nam")
Set ses2 = GetObject("c:\directory\otherfile.nam")
Sys.ses1.GetString(1,1,12)
End Sub


I do not seem to get any errors until the line before the end sub. I am confused on Setting objects and Systems and so on.

hi magic4y2k,

use the macro recorder and you will see how the sessions are aligned and named

this is the method i used when i first started writing code

You cannot GetString from a Session. Rather a Screen object.

Would I put:

ses1.Screen.GetString(1,1,12)

Where does it store the string?

Can I do someting like:

strWords = ses1.Screen.GetString(1,1,12)

Or do I have to use PutString right after I use GetString?

Would this work?

ses1.Screen.GetString(1,1,12)
ses2.Screen.PutString(2,9)

You can use Jumpnext or Appactivate to move between sessions

Set Sys = CreateObject("EXTRA.System")
Sys.Sessions.JumpNext (for each open session)


AppActivate "SessionName" (as it appears at the top)
