Calling Web Service: part 2

Hi, As refer to http:Q_21111980.html

I got a web method as GetOutboundStatus, so how can i call it using the following info (probably using SOAP Toolkit 3.0)?

I got SOAP request as:

POST /function/1.0/functionservice.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: webservices.mydomain.com
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://webservices.mydomain.com/function/1.0/GetOutboundStatus"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <GetOutboundStatus xmlns="http://webservices.mydomain.com/function/1.0/">
      <customerID>string</customerID>
      <password>string</password>
      <transactionIDs>
        <string>string</string>
        <string>string</string>
      </transactionIDs>
      <requestSettings>
        <DIMEDocuments>
          <SecretKeys>
            <SecretKey xsi:nil="true" />
            <SecretKey xsi:nil="true" />
          </SecretKeys>
        </DIMEDocuments>
        <SecurityMode>
          <UseDIME>boolean</UseDIME>
          <DigitallySigned>boolean</DigitallySigned>
        </SecurityMode>
      </requestSettings>
    </GetOutboundStatus>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

And i got SOAP response as:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <GetOutboundStatusResponse xmlns="http://webservices.mydomain.com/function/1.0/">
      <GetOutboundStatusResult>

What currently i have is:

Private soapclient As MSSOAPLib.soapclient

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Set soapclient = New MSSOAPLib.soapclient
     
    soapclient.mssoapinit "http://webservices.junk.net/fax/1.0/faxservice.asmx?WSDL"
    soapclient.ConnectorProperty("EndPointURL") = "http://webservices.junk.net/fax/1.0/faxservice.asmx"
   
    Dim tmp As String
    Dim tmpArr(0) As String
   
    Dim retList As IXMLDOMNodeList
    Dim node As IXMLDOMNode

    tmpArr(0) = "123456789"
    Set retList = soapclient.GetOutboundStatus("customerID", "password", tmpArr(), Null)
   
    For Each node In retList
       MsgBox node.xml
    Next
   
End Sub

but failed with Type Mismatch Error on line:

Set retList = soapclient.GetOutboundStatus("customerID", "password", tmpArr(), Null)

and when i debug soapclient.detail, i got:
Client:Type conversion failure for element requestSettings  HRESULT=0x80020005

Can someone guide me where i was wrong?! Still need an urgent help, thks

Have you tried

Set retList = soapclient.GetOutboundStatus("customerID", "password", tmpArr(0), Null)


or

Set retList = soapclient.GetOutboundStatus("customerID", "password", tmpArr, Null)

Per my comment under https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21111980/Calling-webservices-from-vb6.html

It looks to me like the fourth parameter, requestSettings, is an optional parameter of a user-defined type.  Can you confirm this?

Have you tried leaving it off of the call, e.g.,
tmp = soapclient.GetOutboundStatus("customerID", "password", tmpArr())
>>Have you tried leaving it off of the call, e.g.,
tmp = soapclient.GetOutboundStatus("customerID", "password", tmpArr())

I got:
Invalid procedure call or argument

Problem still not resolve.. :(

Thks aParser, thks for the useful info here, will try to complete my application development, and hopefully will close this question soon, thks again for your assistatnce here ;-)
Any problems? Anything I can do to help?
Thks for the assistance, aParser. You help me a lot here! :-)
Is it still a good idea to use the MS SOAP toolkit?
I read something saying it was deprecated by .NET.

We use VB6 with no plans at the moment to switch to .NET.
