New
function
In the example below, the server name is specified. Use this
parameter if you have several versions of your labeling software
to open the document.lab with the correct version.
Dim MyApp As Object
Set MyApp = GetObject ("c:\ProgramFile\docu-
ment.lab","Lppx2.Application")
Note that in the example below the Visual Basic for Application
expression GetObject(,"Lppx2.Application) will fail unless the
Application (the labeling software) is already running. If the
Application is not already running, a new instance will not be
launched.
Dim MyApp As Object
Set MyApp = GetObject (,"Lppx2.Application")
In this example, the variation of the GetObject syntax varies
from the previous example in that a new instance of the applica-
tion will always be launched even if the application is already
running. This variation is equivalent to a CreateObject state-
ment.
Dim MyApp As Object
Set MyApp = GetObject ("","Lppx2.Application")
The key word New can only be used if you work with the Type
Library (see: What is the type library).
New assigns an object reference to a variable or to a property.
Syntax
Set MyApp = {[New] objectexpression }
This example demonstrates reation of the MyApp object that
represents Application. This is the standard access to get the
subordinated objects of Application.
Dim MyApp As LabelManager2.Application
Set MyApp = New LabelManager2.Application
