Is there anyway for a COM object that has events to actually call back to mIRC? e.g. If com object opened with /comopen blerm Foo.Bar has an event _OnBlee, is there any way to make a script respond to the _OnBlee event?

I wouldnt have thought so, not unless your actually causing the event to run, and as a result the output is returned.. i.e., if you told calc to add 1+1, and it outputted 2, you'd recieve it, however if you connected to calc and wanted to wait until someone run calc manually and typed 1+1 then trigger it, I doubt very much. Unless of course the actual COM object supports some sort of buffering method, i.e. it outputs the data to a .txt file, then you'd use a timer and check if the file changes.. but few do. Eamonn.

I wish there were some way to make it work...the VB wayis to call the object WithEvents, then just set up the events. e.g. Code: Private WithEvents FooBarEvents As Foo.Bar Private Sub FooBarEvents_Blee( ByVal Cow as Long) Print Cow End Sub JonXP KKPsi/Epsilon Theta
