STDMETHODIMP CAppObject::SetStringToOutputField( BSTR str )
{
   AFX_MANAGE_STATE( ::AfxGetStaticModuleState() );
   if( str == NULL )
   return E_POINTER;
   USES_CONVERSION;
   CString s = OLE2CT( str );
   if(  m_pMainFrame->GetSafeHwnd() != NULL  && m_pMainFrame->m_wndView.m_editInputField.GetSafeHwnd() != NULL  )
       m_pMainFrame->m_wndView.m_editOutputField.SetWindowText( s );
   return S_OK;
}

No i need to create a button or edit box:.. how to do it ? say like i know to create edit box at run time like this:

CEdit* pEdit = new CEdit;
  pEdit->Create(WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP | WS_BORDER,
   CRect(800, 10, 900, 30), this, IDC_MYEDIT);

but i need to call this function through scripting. how to do it ?

The CAppObject::SetStringToOutputField() method is invoked when the script invokes the AppObject.SetStringToOutputField() method. We do not think that creating windows from the script is reasonable. The better approach is to allow the script to operate with Active X controls and containers.

How to  allow the script to operate with Active X controls and containers  here? I have got the idea of assigning values to the Editboxthrough scriptin. buti need to create abutton or textbox through sripting.please help. waiting for ur reply.  thanks,

You need to merge the sample application we coded for you with implementation of the ActiveX control container which we suggested you to use. This will be a solution for creating any kind of controls via scripting.
