Converting JavaScript string to C++ BSTR

[k0ff33]

Hi, I have a ActiveX property that takes in BSTR as an argument that doesn't seem to work properly in node-activex.

Docs:

NvrFromIpAddress  ([in] BSTR IpAddress) [get]
Property to get an NVR by IP Address.

NodeJS:

let nvr = myAutom.Nvrs.NvrFromIpAddress['192.168.1.9'] // returns undefined

C#:

var nvr = myAutom.Nvrs.NvrFromIpAddress["192.168.1.9"]; // returns nvr object

Any ideas? I've tried couple other functions/properties that take BSTR as an argument and none work correctly.

What if with round brackets let nvr = myAutom.Nvrs.NvrFromIpAddress('192.168.1.9'); 2017-07-30 1:13 GMT+03:00 Kamil Wojtczyk <notifications@github.com>:

I've tried that as well and returns:

Error: DispInvoke: NvrFromIpAddress Member not found.

But it's clearly there:

BTW, similar function/property:

Item  ([in] long Index) [get]
Property to get an NVR by index.

When called with square brackets runs fine, but fails as a JS function with round brackets:

let nvrOne = myAutom.Nvrs.Item[1] // returns nvr object
let nvrOne = myAutom.Nvrs.Item(1) // throws Error: DispInvoke: Item Member not found.

Try new 1.0.3 version with property get fix
