oziexplorer api and vbscript - NOT!

longneck · 08-21-2003

so i saw that oziexplorer has an API that lets you move waypoints around. perfect, now i can load aerial photos in and watch the access points dance on the map!

but after i spend 45 minutes bangng my head against vbscript errors, i come to realize that vbscript doesn't support the DECLARE statement to use an external DLL. crap!

does anyone have a suggestion for scripting an interface between ozi and netstumbler?

Yeah same here! I was having a look at the Ozi waypoint file and its pretty much a comma delimited file. Might be an idea to make a script or app to create a waypoint file from the logs. Will have a go at some point when i get some time!

You can create a CM object using the CreateObject() method:

Dim ozi
Set ozi = CreateObject('OZIAPP.blah')

Attached is a very very preliminary OCX that should work to provide OziExplorer users with some decent scripting functionality.

You'll need to run "regsvr32 goldfndr.ocx" and have the OziApi.dll in your path (or perhaps in the same folder as the VBS).

The tlb.txt in there is sort of an ugly description of what's implemented; it should be everything except for the callback functions (MapSingleClickON, MapDblClickON, ObjectClickON, SendPositionMMON, Oedometer1ON, Oedometer2ON). Note that lat, lon, Zone, Northing, Easting, and FileName are set/read as properties; also err can be read after nearly every command to see if it succeeded or failed (within the APISetTimeout time, of course).

Please try it out and comment on whether it works or fails for you. I'd like to get a grip on how good it is before attempting to incorporate its use into the Master script.
