JScript
function ShowStatementCollection()
{
var oCollection = Syntax.CreateCollection();
var oVarName = Syntax.CreateInvoke();
oVarName.InvokeName = "Answer";
oVarName.IsProperty = true;
var oAssignment = Syntax.CreateAssign;
oAssignment.Left = oVarName;
oAssignment.Right = 42;
oCollection.Add(oAssignment);
var oMethodCall = Syntax.CreateInvoke();
oMethodCall.ClassName = "Log";
oMethodCall.InvokeName = "Message";
oMethodCall.IsProperty = false;
oMethodCall.AddParameter(oVarName);
oCollection.Add(oMethodCall);
var strCode = Syntax.GenerateSource(oCollection);
aqDlg.ShowMessage(strCode);
}
VBScript
Sub ShowStatementCollection
Dim oCollection, oVarName, oAssignment, oMethodCall, strCode
Set oCollection = Syntax.CreateCollection
Set oVarName = Syntax.CreateInvoke
oVarName.InvokeName = "Answer"
oVarName.IsProperty = True
Set oAssignment = Syntax.CreateAssign
oAssignment.Left = oVarName
oAssignment.Right = 42
oCollection.Add oAssignment
Set oMethodCall = Syntax.CreateInvoke
oMethodCall.ClassName = "Log"
oMethodCall.InvokeName = "Message"
oMethodCall.IsProperty = False
oMethodCall.AddParameter oVarName
oCollection.Add oMethodCall
strCode = Syntax.GenerateSource(oCollection)
aqDlg.ShowMessage strCode
End Sub
