Hello all,

I've written a simple array-type object, and would like to be able to set a 
default getter and setter for the object.  IOW, instead of (in VBScript) 
writing

MyArray.SetField(3,2) = "42"
wscript.echo MyArray.GetField(3,2)

I would be able to use (something like)

MyArray(3,2) = "42"
wscript.echo MyArray(3,2)

Although I've seen the "default action" possibility somewhere (Python IIRC), 
I do not even know if its possible in Windows (win32).

Question: Is it possible to define (in the typelib?) a default action 
(method, property) for an object ?  And if so how ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
