Developer TIPS

OLE Automation Code Inserter (OLECI)

(This information and more can be obtained from Corel's WordPerfect Office suite SDK) Now that we have introduced you to OLECI, let's discuss the specifics on how to use it. Currently, it works with the following developer tools: Paradox, Quattro Pro, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Visual Basic, and Borland Delphi. If you have a code window open in any of these applications (in Microsoft Excel and Quattro Pro, the spreadsheet is the code window), OLECI will insert the code into the window. If none of these applications are running and you try to use OLECI, you will get an error message stating the fact that no developer tool that OLECI works with is running.

If more than one of these applications are running, you will be prompted to choose which tool you want to insert the OLE Automation code.

While using OLECI, you may encounter a PerfectScript command you wish to insert that does not require all the parameters for the command. OLECI will not insert blank parameters into the code window, but will leave a place holder in the form of a semi-colon where the parameter would go. This is required by PerfectScript so it knows the order of the parameters being sent to it. Once you have chosen to insert a parameter into the string at the bottom of the OLECI window, you must click on the "Update" button or hit Enter when this button has focus. If you chose the parameter but do not click "Update", the parameter will not not be inserted into the PerfectScript string, and when the code is inserted into the code window, that parameter will not be inserted. As a result, sending this command will most likely, not work the way it was intended to work and you will get improper results.
You can use OLECI to insert the code needed to define your WordPerfect OLE Automation object. First, you must click on the "Initialize OLE" button to display the "Initialize OLE Variables" dialog.

Once the dialog is displayed you can insert the variable definition into your code window.
