I've recently upgraded to Reflection 2011 and am in the process of writing a new macro for work.
Previously I would write macros using the Extra! editor and call excel vba for forms, interacting with other apps, etc. This project, however, is too complex for me to use the Extra! editor (it's still supported by the new Reflection) and so I'm writing the entire thing in Excel VBA and taking control of the session through Excel.
The problem is, when I do it that way the oia.xstatus <> 0 that I normally use to manage screen loads doesn't work. I'm using EXTRACOM objects in VBA which still have the method, but according to Reflection documentation, xstatus no longer works.
Are there any good alternatives to xstatus? Using GetString and looping until a specific string appears works for part of my application, but not for everything.
Would it be easier to use an Attachmate_Reflection_Object to call the session?
