Re: [platform-swt-dev] Trouble instantiating ActiveX control under SWT
|
Using Word with SWT:
1) Word.Document is an OleDocument and really needs to be created as an
OleClientSite. It will bring with it menus and toolbars. That is just
the way this guy works.
2) You can create an OleClientSite for each file you want to open using
the OleClientSite constructor that takes a file name.
3) Use WordBasic to manipulate the file:
// Get generic IDispatch interface
dispInterface = new OleAutomation(clientSite);
// Get Application
int[] appId = dispInterface.getIDsOfNames(new String[]{"Application"});
if (appId == null) OLE.error(OLE.ERROR_APPLICATION_NOT_FOUND);
Variant pVarResult = dispInterface.getProperty(appId[0]);
if (pVarResult == null) OLE.error(OLE.ERROR_APPLICATION_NOT_FOUND);
application = pVarResult.getAutomation();
// Get Word Basic
int[] wbId = application.getIDsOfNames(new String[]{"WordBasic"});
if (wbId == null) OLE.error(OLE.ERROR_APPLICATION_NOT_FOUND);
Variant pVarResult2 = application.getProperty(wbId[0]);
if (pVarResult2 == null) OLE.error(OLE.ERROR_APPLICATION_NOT_FOUND);
wordBasic = pVarResult2.getAutomation();

Re: [platform-swt-dev] Trouble instantiating ActiveX control under SWT
Thank you for looking into this with me. I have entered a bug report:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=72320
In the mean time, I'm still fighting with other methods of getting Word
support:
- Directly using Word.Document in an OleControlSite is giving me the
behavior described in this thread:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.swt/msg05332.html
- Wrapping Word in Shell.Explorer is failing to inplaceactivate on my
clients boxes (still trying to figure out why), and enabling/disabling
items
on the command bars is not showing up until the next time Word opens
(whereas it shows up immediately in Excel)
- Using Word.Document as an OleClientSite overrides menus (which I don't
want) and doesn't show scrollbars (I should be able to address this)
Hopefully, I can find something that will work nicely.
