Ole Links (C++)
I don't know if this is the proper forum for asking a C++ Excel programming question, but here goes. My application has an _Application, _Workbook, and Workbooks classes all derived from COleDispatchDriver that were added from Excel's type library. The two methods I'm interested in using right now a void ChangeLink(LPCTSTR Name, LPCTSTR NewName, long Type); VARIANT LinkSources(const VARIANT& Type); That are declared in the _Workbook class. I'd like to iterate through all the client links Excel is holding onto and change the filename they're pointing to, however I can't find any good documentation or samples on how to use these or any other methods from a C++ perspective. Could anyone direct me to such documentation or provide some samples? -- sjc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sjc's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32001 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=517354 |

sjc,
The Excel VBA Help has examples of both of these, in VB of course, but should be relatively straight forward to translate into C++ for someone who knows that beast. NickHK "sjc" wrote in message ...

I've seen samples in VB, like this: Code ------------------- Sub ListLinks() Dim aLinks As Variant aLinks = ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources(xlExcelLinks) If Not IsEmpty(aLinks) Then Sheets.Add For i = 1 To UBound(aLinks) Cells(i, 1).Value = aLinks(i) Next i End If End Sub ------------------- In C++, the parameter to LinkSources is a "const VARIANT&". Well wha fields in the variant should be populated? And where is xlExcelLink defined in my case? There's no good documentation for that -- sj ----------------------------------------------------------------------- sjc's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3200 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=51735 |

sjc,
LinkSources returns an array of strings or Empty. xlExcelLinks is defined in Excel as a member of the XlLink enum: Enum XlLink xlExcelLinks = 1 xlOLELinks = 2 xlPublishers = 5 xlSubscribers = 6 End Enum NickHK "sjc" wrote in message ...
