I have created several interfaces to change things in my software.
The VBScript which I load run fine, but now I have a small trouble.
One of my variables is a coordinate. I want to set this from the
Macro to a value, and maybe read it out later. I know I could use
property get X, and property get Y on all my coordinates, but I want
to give the user the opportunity to declare a varaible say Coord and
get the values into that. for example:
dim a
a = STLDoc.designOffset
a.x = 15
STLDoc.designOffset = a

Define a simple COM interface with two properties.

Is it possible and if yes then how? (it should be because in the idl
file this works:

typedef [
uuid(9A6A1481-D233-42a8-8D8D-D61CF4F33B19),
helpstring("ISTLCoord"),
version(1.0)
]
struct Coord

VBScript doesn't support UDTs (aka structs). Mainly because it doesn't
actually read type libraries, and relies exclusively on
IDispatch::GetIdsOfNames to resolve names.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
