Pass an array to an external app

[jcairo]

I would like to pass an array to photoshop from my vfp app.
The adobe vbscript documentation for the TextItem object says:

Position - Array of Number(Double) - Read-write. The position of origin for the text. The array must contain two values (unit value).

I suppose the vbScript would be something like
oPSApp.ActiveDocument.ArtLayers(1).TextItem.Position = new Array[1,1]

I can't figure out how to this from the vfp help or faqs, since oPSApp....= myArray would not work.
Any tips would be gratefully appreciated.

If it works at all, you need @myArray. Also see COMARRAY() in the help.

Bye, Olaf.

Also keep in mind that Foxpro arrays are 1-based, whereas in many other languages they are 0-based.

You can try this workaround:

dimension myArray[...]
...

oPSApp.ActiveDocument.ArtLayers(1).TextItem.Position = ;
getArrayRef('myArray')

procedure getArrayRef(tcArrayName)
return @&tcArrayName
