ConnectObject Method

Connects the object's event sources to functions with a given prefix.

Copy 

                      object.ConnectObject(objEventSource, strPrefix)

object

WScript object.

objEventSource

Required. Object you want to connect.

strPrefix

Required. String value indicating the function prefix.

Connected objects are useful when you want to sync an object's events. The ConnectObject method connects the object's outgoing interface to the script file after creating the object. Event functions are a combination of this prefix and the event name.

The following example demonstrates using the ConnectObject method to connect to the WshRemote object's Error event.

VBScript
Copy 
Dim Controller, RemoteScript
Set Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController")
Set RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver")
WScript.ConnectObject RemoteScript, "remote_"
RemoteScript.Execute

Do While RemoteScript.Status <> 2 
    WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

Sub remote_Error
    Dim theError
    Set theError = RemoteScript.Error
    WScript.Echo "Error " & theError.Number & " - Line: " & theError.Line & ", Char: " & theError.Character & vbCrLf & "Description: " & theError.Description
    WScript.Quit -1
End Sub
JScript
Copy 
var Controller = WScript.CreateObject("WSHController");
var RemoteScript = Controller.CreateScript("test.js", "remoteserver");
WScript.ConnectObject(RemoteScript, "remote_");
RemoteScript.Execute();

while (RemoteScript.Status != 2) {
    WScript.Sleep(100);
}

function remote_Error()
{
    var theError = RemoteScript.Error;
    WScript.Echo("Error " + theError.Number + " - Line: " + theError.Line + ", Char: " + theError.Character + "\nDescription: " + theError.Description);
    WScript.Quit(-1);
}
