Does anyone have experience of calling (via OLE) Word97 VBA functions from a Forms 4.5 application?
I have a Forms 4.5 application from which I am creating a Word97 document based on a template which has a number of bookmarks. Part of my application retrieves a list of all the bookmarks in the template. I can get a count of the bookmarks by using the following PL/SQL:
DECLARE
[Quoted] objActiveDoc OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; objBookmarks OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; objBookmark OLE2.OBJ_TYPE; numBookmarkCount NUMBER; BEGIN objActiveDoc := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(Word.hApp, 'ActiveDocument'); objBookmarks := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(objActiveDoc, 'Bookmarks');numBookmarkCount := OLE2.GET_NUM_PROPERTY(objBookmarks, 'Count'); Message('There are '||TO_CHAR(numBookmarkCount)||' bookmarks.'); END; However, I have a problem when I try and retrieve the name of each individual bookmark. The Word97 VBA I'm trying to PL/SQL'ise is:
strBookmarkName = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(intBookmarkCount).Name
...which I cannot do as I don't know how to get Forms to issue a VBA command
where the argument is positioned *before* the method I'm trying to invoke. The
following VBA command to check whether a bookmark exists is simple to emulate:
numBookmarkExists = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("MyBookmark")
...as the argument is positioned *after* the Exists method. Can anyone tell
me how to emulate a VBA command where the argument is specified before the
method?
Thanks for any help you can offer...
