[Openroad-users] Word ActiveX (again!) - External Class Events

Tue Jul 8 20:52:50 EST 2008

trying that produced this error:

E_WT0029 Error at line 27 of main_go.

E_WR0003 Value passed to parameter of incompatible type.
    A value of type '_document' was passed to the parameter 'cancel' in the
    frame 'main_go'.  The type '_document' is not compatible with the type
    of the parameter, 'i4'.

E_AF2001_NO_CONVERSION Object can not be converted to i4.
E_WR006C Error assigning a value to parameter 'doc'.

E_OM000B A non-object typed value passed to an object.
    A value whose type is not a class was passed to a parameter that is an
    object.

This seemed to suggest incorrect naming of parameters, having swapped them around, all is ok!?

So my code is now:

ON EXTCLASSEVENT 'DocumentBeforeClose' (cancel = WinWord!Document DEFAULT NULL,doc = INTEGER NOT NULL)=
BEGIN

    IF cancel IS NOT NULL THEN

        CurFrame.Trace ( text = 'closing:' + VARCHAR(cancel.Name) );

    ENDIF;

END;

I guess there is something wrong in the OR interface to the ActiveX?

The definition of the COM event shows 2 parameters, but you only specified one of them.
In addition, the parameter names do not match - it has to be "doc" rather than "doc_closing".

Try:

ON EXTCLASSEVENT 'DocumentBeforeClose' (doc = WinWord!Document DEFAULT NULL, cancel = INTEGER NOT NULL)=
...

thanks to Ian & Bodo for the same idea, whilst it does stop a new blank document opening, due to doc_closing now being NULL, this parameter really should have the closing document in it.  I noticed my trace message was actually reporting the name of the newly opened blank document and not the one that was closing down ... the closing document reference is obviously not coming back?

here is the Microsoft definition:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa263708(office.10).aspx

Have you tried declaring the "doc_closing" parameter with DEFAULT NULL?

I'm working in OR4.1 SP3, as External Class Events in OR2006 are not working correctly, so whilst I wait for a fix ... 

I want to know what document is closing, so I trap the external class event as follows: 

ON EXTCLASSEVENT 'DocumentBeforeClose' (doc_closing = WinWord!Document)= 
BEGIN 

CurFrame.Trace ( text = 'closing:' + VARCHAR(doc_closing.Name) ); 

END; 

Now this works in the sense, in that it reports the document name closing, however it seems the declaration in the parameter list of 'WinWord!Document' actually initiates a new document to be opened/created ... not quite what I was expecting 

is this a bug, and is there away around it? I've tried having the parameter as type ExtClass but that was of no use.
