OLE with WordBasic and Inserting a Null Value
Keywords: OLE null
Question:
I'm having a problem with OLE between Winbatch and Microsoft Word. You basically use the WordBasic macro lang when invoking methods via OLE. For example,
WordObj = ObjectOpen("Word.Basic")
WordObj.FileOpen("c:\a.doc")
This simply opens up a document within Word.
However, the FileOpen macro/method contains
many other parameters (in additon to the file
to open). Sometimes I wish for one of
these parameters to be NULL. I can't seem
to get past this problem. For example,
this doesn't seem to work:
WordObj.FileOpen("c:\a.doc", 1, 1, 1, , , 0)
I get the error "Type mismatch".
The problem seems to be with the null parameters. This doesn't work either:
WordObj.FileOpen("c:\a.doc", 1, 1, 1, "", "", 0)
I can't seem to pass a null value via OLE
to a Wordbasic macro/method.
What am I missing? I can't find a syntax that works.
Answer:
You could try just stuffing a 0 in there and hope it work. It if it does not, try...mynull=BinaryAlloc(10) BinaryPoke(mynull,0,0)and use the mynull variable where you need a null in the parameter string.
