I know that $comval exists for enumerating through collections, but the problem I have is that I want to dispatch one item in particular in the collection. In other words, does there exist something along the lines of $comval(a,1,dispatch* b) to dispatch the Nth item in a collection? Thanks! Last edited by Chessnut; 25/07/10 07:00 PM.

As I said, not sure if it worx, but you can try I am SReject My Stuff

Depending on what you're using, you could probably do: Code: $com(object,item,3,int,<N>,dispatch* newobject) Where <N> is the number in the collection you want to retrieve.. Obviously not all objects have this, but some do. The Windows Media Player object model is a prime example.

FroggieDaFrog, I haven't seen that method before - I'll have a look into it. Thanks both of you!
