| I've created a reference to MUSHclient from an external program with the intention of being able to access MUSHclient's active World object from this program.
What I'm currently doing is as such:
Dim MushClientWorld
Set MushClientWorld = CreateObject("MushClient.World")
I'm not having any trouble connecting to MUSHclient, but the problem is that the second I do, MUSHclient feels compelled to create a brand new world from scratch, rather than simply connecting me to the active world's world object.
If I manage to get this working, I'll be able to create add-on programs that would be able to format and display data graphically, and these programs would be optional, not generating any errors within MUSHclient scripts if they're not running.

| I recognise that as a limitation of using MUSHclient as a COM object.
I can only suggest that you somehow create the external object from within MUSHclient, and pass a world reference to it. I think there are examples of that here.
ie. Instead of ...
Your program -> Create MUSHclient
you do ...
MUSHclient -> Create your program

So far, it seems that if I reference my program from withing MUSHClient, I can't actually create any windows.
I'll try again. Maybe it's changed since the last release I tried that on.
I'm guessing I'll have to go to some intermediary object that can serve as a communication channel between MUSHclient and an external program. The MSWC.Myinfo component that comes with Internet Information Server might make a good once since it supports persistent storage of hierarchical data.
