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

Tue Jul 8 22:13:42 EST 2008

I had a look at your issue and just tested your testcase in OR2006 (with
a daily build) and I can assure that the events ARE fired
when the user interacts with word.
I'm sure support can provide you with an according patch.

But I can confirm that there are problems with the sequence of
parameters passed.

it may well be addressed in OR 2006 but External Class Events are not
working properly; they are not firing when the user intereacts with
Word, but they do fire when the 4gl interacts.... I have opened an issue
for this.

thanks for your help Bodo

	I've seen this before - the names are ok, but the parameters are
passed in the wrong order.
	I think there should be a bug fix available.

	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:

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

- External Class Events

			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.
