Chilkat "Cannot get ActiveX Interface"

When I use this snippets:

Local $oTask = $oHttp.DownloadBdAsync("https://.............pl/..........", $oBinData)
ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText)

I get this error:

ChilkatLog:   
ActiveXError:
DllDate: Sep 28 2020
ChilkatVersion: 9.5.0.84
UnlockPrefix: ************
Architecture: Little Endian; 32-bit
Language: ActiveX
VerboseLogging: 0
Cannot get ActiveX Interface   
--ActiveXError
--ChilkatLog

Why I get this error ?

btw.

Local $iSuccess = $oHttp.DownloadBd("https://.............pl/..........", $oBinData)
ConsoleWrite($oHttp.LastErrorText)

Works fine

Solution

  • I don't know if this is correct, but in other languages the "Set" keyword would be needed if an object is returned instead of a primitive value. Given that a Chilkat async method returns a Chilkat Task object (https://chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/xChilkatTaskRef.html) perhaps this is the solution:

     Local $oTask
 Set $oTask = $oHttp.DownloadBdAsync("https://.............pl/..........", $oBinData)

    This is just a guess...
