SUMMARY
This article illustrates, in detail, how to automate component integration with COM-compliant applications such as the Microsoft Office applications.
MORE INFORMATION
The following section illustrates how you can create an MFC project. The example automates Microsoft Excel. You can use the first 8 steps for any project, and modify steps 9 through 15 when you work with another application.
You need to go to the definition of a member function if you wish to verify a return type or if you need to change a function's implementation. Any time you change a function definition, remember to change the declaration in the Excel8.h file. When doing so, be sure that you change the correct function declaration; sometimes, the same name is given to member functions of multiple classes--GetApplication() is one such example.
Although the steps above illustrate how to automate Microsoft Excel, you can apply the same ideas to automating other applications. The list below contains the file names for the type libraries of the Microsoft Office applications:
Create an automation project
1. | With Microsoft Developer Studio, start a new "MFC AppWizard (exe)" project named "AutoProject." |
2. | In step 1 of the MFC AppWizard, choose "Dialog Based" for the application type and then click Finish. The New Project Information dialog box appears and indicates that the Classes to be created include: Click OK to create the project. |
3. | The Dialog box "IDD_AUTOPROJECT_DIALOG" opens in the Visual Studio design/edit area. Modify it according to the instructions in the next two steps. |
4. | Remove the Label control (IDC_STATIC) and the Cancel button (IDCANCEL). |
5. | Change the name of the OK button to "IDRUN" and the caption to "Run." Close the AutoProject.rc dialog box design form. |
6. | Click ClassWizard on the View menu (or press CTRL+W). |
7. | Select the Message Maps tab. Select IDRUN in the Object Ids list box and select "BN_CLICKED" in the Messages list box. Click Add Function and accept the function name "OnRun". Click OK to close the ClassWizard. NOTE: This step adds a declaration for the function member "OnRun();" to the header file named AutoProjectDLG.h. This step also adds an empty skeleton message handler function named CAutoProjectDlg::OnRun() to the file named AutoProjectDLG.cpp. |
8. | Click ClassWizard on the View menu (or press CTRL+W). |
9. | Select the Automation tab. Click Add Class and choose "From a type library." Navigate to select the object library for the application you wish to automate (for this example, if you are automating Excel 97, choose the Microsoft Excel 8.0 Object Library; the default location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel8.olb). If you are automating Microsoft Excel 2000, choose Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library for which the default location is the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Excel9.olb. If you are automating Microsoft Excel 2002 and Microsoft Office Excel 2003, the object library is embedded in the file Excel.exe. The default location for Excel.exe in Office 2002 is C:\program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Excel.exe. The default location for Excel.exe in Office 2003 is C:\program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Excel.exe. Once you have selected the appropriate object library, click Open. Select all classes in the Confirm Classes list, and then click OK. NOTE: The list box in the Confirm Classes dialog box contains all of the IDispatch interfaces (which are virtually identical to classes) in the Microsoft Excel type library. In the lower half of the dialog box you will see that an Implementation file named Excel8.cpp contains generated class wrappers derived from ColeDispatchDriver(), and the appropriate declaration header file is named Excel8.h. (For Excel 2002 and Excel 2003, the files are named Excel.cpp and Excel.h.) |
10. | Click OK to close the MFC ClassWizard dialog box. |
11. | Add the following code to the CAutoProjectApp::InitInstance() function, which loads and enables the COM services library: |
12. | Add the following line to the #include statements at the top of the AutoProject.cpp program file: |
13. | Add the include statement for excel8.h after the include statement for stdafx.h at the top of the AutoProjectDlg.cpp program file: |
14. | Add automation code to the CAutoProjectDlg::OnRun() so that it appears as shown below: |
15. | Build and run the project. RESULTS: When you click the Run button in the dialog box, Microsoft Excel will be launched. Activate the Auto_Excel dialog box and dismiss the message box. Microsoft Excel will quit when the CAutoProjectDlg::OnRun() function ends because the application variable will have gone out of scope. |
Additional Notes
You need to go to the definition of a member function if you wish to verify a return type or if you need to change a function's implementation. Any time you change a function definition, remember to change the declaration in the Excel8.h file. When doing so, be sure that you change the correct function declaration; sometimes, the same name is given to member functions of multiple classes--GetApplication() is one such example.
