I’m trying to use the MSOfficeAutomation plugin but I run in an error saying “Item does not exists”. I copied the plugin from the extra folder to the XOJO plugin folder and restarted.
OLE works fine. I can create or open a word document, send text to it… I need to refer to some of the Office Class to move through the lines and paragraphs…
The code
Dim v As Variant
v = Office....
will trigger the autocompletion tool where all Office Class members are tagged with yellow warnings…
Possible option: have your web app spawn a desktop helper app and communicate with it via sockets (IPC or TCP). Your web app could instruct your desktop helper to create/modify Office docs.
