I've had some experience with this. First of all, you need an awobject
class module. Put in the basic values like action. Next, create a
collection named AwObjects. In the objectadd and cellobject events, fit
in the following code:

Dim NewObject As New AwObject
Set NewObject = New AwObject

NewObject.Model = sdk.awobjectmodel
....
....
AwObjects.Add NewObject, CStr(sdk.awobjectnumber)

For Delete:
AwObjects.Remove sdk.awobjectnumber

Hope that helps!

One thing i dont understand about bone: WHATS THE POINT? Its supposed to
be BOt NEtwork, but i dont see how bots are supposed to communicate with
it. I understand programming with it, but i dont get how it is to be
used in practical sdk purposes...

Hi! Well, im finally using the newsgroups! *waits for warm welcome*

Jun 14, 2002, 7:38pm

The first item on my mind is query caching. (I know i didnt spell that right)

I know there is a way to do this since ive seen a website mentioning
this. What im asking is does anyone know a way to save query data
therefor speeding up the next query? My idea is to save the object data
and sequence numbers to a file, and reload it when the app is restarted.

Thanks! I have a contact who will love to hear that as well.

Ok, I believe i have figured out the basics of how to use propdump for
my bots, but two questions remain.
1. How is it possible to get the sequence numbers from a propdump file?

2. In vb how could i split the action,description,and file name using
the corresponding leth data?

From what ive read in the newsgroups, some c++ compilers have problems
using the sdk. Does anyone know a compiler that will use the sdk without
a problem?

And free LOL
