C++ OLE automation - how do I format the borders?

L

Lucas Coppio

Hi, ive done a small program using OLE automation but I still don't
know how to put borders on some cells
This is the MACRO code, but I need to translate it to something the VC+
+/OLE2 can understand, but I have no clue on how to do that.

Sub Macro1()

' Macro1 Macro
'

'
Range("B10:I50").Select
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With
End Sub

Thank you Lynn, I'll give it a deep look later (i'm copying the codes
right now to a new project and will try to compile a test program
later).
But unfortunatelly this is a little urgent and I don't have much able
time to learn everything of such a complex code, I have a program that
generates a datasheet in XLS using the OLE automation, but I have to
add borders to a big table and it proves to be quite hard to me right
now mainly because I'm not usued to do codes for computers (I'm a
firmware developer for microcontrolers and embed devices).

I'm basically using the example that is in msdn about OLE automation
(automation without using MFC and #import), so its basically:

HRESULT AutoWrap(int autoType, VARIANT *pvResult, IDispatch *pDisp,
LPOLESTR ptName, int cArgs...) {
....
}

and things like this in the main()

// Get ActiveSheet object
IDispatch *pXlSheet;
{
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &result, pXlApp, L"ActiveSheet",
0);
pXlSheet = result.pdispVal;
}

the program is working fine right now, except by the borders that I
need in the ranges:

Range("B10:I50").Select
Range("B60:I100").Select
Range("B110:I150").Select
Range("B160:I200").Select

in anyway, I will understand if you don't want to code it for me or to
point where I may find it in the code you just showed me.

That is the problem. There is a LOT of coding items that you have
to handle in order to initialize the interface. This is basically
the sequence of events:
// fm2n_old.cpp
Click to expand...
// The OLE Automation interface to Excel is mostly written using:
// "How to automate Excel from C++ without using MFC or #import"
// http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216686
Click to expand...

// to call this code :
// if (ConnectToNotebook (notebook, RunInTestMode, true))
// {
// // do your excel data transfer here
// DisconnectFromNotebook (RunInTestMode);
// }

// see getCellInfo or putCellInfo for single cell data transfer examples

// see PutRowInTable for bulk transfer example, note that the more data can
// be transferred at one time, the faster the data transfer is

For formatting a range, see the functions:
int setRangeFont (std::string rangeValue, std::string fontNameValue, int boldValue, int sizeValue, int colorValue);
int SetRangeWidthAlignment (std::string rangeValue, int columnWidthValue, int horizontalAlignmentValue);

The C++ OLE automation interface for Excel (or any other OLE server)
is very involved.

BTW, I am still using Visual Studio 2005 so this code is not VSVC 2008
tested.

MaxItemsInRow is an internal item that you should be able to get rid of.

MaxLineChunks is 20.

SetUnitsCase is an internal item that you should be able to replace with

std::string SetUnitsCase (std::string str)
{
return str;
}

well, it happens alot when other people try to compile your codes,
sometimes its a library that differs, other times is the version of
the compiler...

About this "setRangeWidth...", does it set the borders also? I'm
reading it and I just cannot comprehend how it can do something
besides "changing the width of the cel", or does it change the width
of the cell's borders?

well, I entered the std::string notebook in my XlsCpp.cpp, it looks
like this right now

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <comdef.h>

#include "ole2.h"

#include <ctype.h>

std::string notebook;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
if (ConnectToNotebook (notebook, RunInTestMode, true))
{

DisconnectFromNotebook (RunInTestMode);
}
return 0;
}

It compiles, but when I run the code it gives an error in this part of
the code

// strip the suffix from the notebook prefix,
can be .xls or .xlsx
int len5 = g_notebookPrefix.size ();
g_notebookPrefix.erase (len5 - 4);
len5 = g_notebookPrefix.size();
if (g_notebookPrefix [len5 - 1] == '.') // THIS IS THE
LINE where the error happens!
g_notebookPrefix.erase (len5 - 1);

I removed this line part of the function, I also removed some parts of
the function that gets the directory (I turned it into a constant) but
the program keeps giving errors in different parts, now the last one
is an error message with alot of chinese characters...

If you can help me explaining this particular part of the code so I
can implement it in my own code I guess it would be faster

int SetRangeWidthAlignment (std::string rangeValue, int

}
if (horizontalAlignmentValue != 0)
{

horizontalAlignment.vt = VT_I4;
horizontalAlignment.intVal =

result1.pdispVal, L"HorizontalAlignment", errorMsg, 1,
horizontalAlignment);
int res5 = result5.vt;
}
result1.pdispVal -> Release ();
}




I have to set the borders in my table, but as I see here it does
something with the alignment of the text and change the cell width?
thats it?

what should I do then to adapt it for my needs? I'm trying to adapt
this code comparing with the ones I have in here but Im totally dummy
when it comes to the OLEMethod(.....) .

I have to set the borders in my table, but as I see here it does
something with the alignment of the text and change the cell width?
thats it?

what should I do then to adapt it for my needs? I'm trying to adapt
this code comparing with the ones I have in here but Im totally dummy
when it comes to the OLEMethod(.....) .

You need to give the notebook variable a name, i.e. "c:\\myspreadsheet.xls".

On setting your borders, you will need to record the macro
code and create the equivalent C++ code. It will be easy
once you have figured it out.

I've found some things about the code of the OLE setting borders in
cells in this topic
http://businessintelligence.ittoolb...rio-l/ole-excel-formatting-cell-border-587789

With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic

I know that the xlEdgeBottom constant = 9...but I don't know how to
reference it.
Currently, I'm double underlining the cell value with Font setting:
objCells.Item(2, lne).Font.Underline = -4119; // Double Underline
Click to expand...

and the other said that he could get over it using this code

oRange.Borders.Item(9).Weight =3D 2 // =3D xlThin;
where oRange is a cell range object (or single cell).

But it looks nothing like the codes I'm doing with the OLE method.

but anyway, I'm trying to do something like that, but the I don't know
how to declare this oRange, every kind of declaration I tried returned
these errors

Those are the only errors the program I've coded sends so far.

The Autowrap IS the OLE Autowrap made by M$ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216686

I don't think that you are using my code since I dont have an AutoWrap
method.

Also, this code is totally out of my league:
VARIANT root[64] = {0}; // Generic IDispatchs
VARIANT parm[64] = {0}; // Generic Parameters
Click to expand...

I think that you are having IDispatch problems with your pointers but
I am not sure. I use IDispatch pointers like this:

void PutStringInServer (int row, int column, std::string string)
{
// get rid of the trailing blanks
string.erase (string.find_last_not_of (' ') + 1);

int len = string.size ();
if (len == 0)
return;

std::string cellAddress = GetCellEquivalent (row, column);
VARIANT result1;
VariantInit ( & result1);
VARIANT range;
VariantInit ( & range);
range.vt = VT_BSTR;
_bstr_t address = _bstr_t (cellAddress.c_str ());
range.bstrVal = address;
std::string errorMsg = "Select a range in the active spreadsheet, " + cellAddress +
" (PutStringInServer)";
OLEMethod (DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, & result1, pExcelSheet, L"Range", errorMsg, 1, range);
if (result1.vt == VT_DISPATCH)
{
VARIANT result2;
VariantInit ( & result2);
VARIANT value;
VariantInit ( & value);
value.vt = VT_BSTR;
_bstr_t valueBSTR = _bstr_t (string.c_str ());
value.bstrVal = valueBSTR;
std::string errorMsg = "Put the string into the selected cell, " + cellAddress + ", \"" + string + "\"
(PutStringInServer)";
OLEMethod (DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT, & result2, result1.pdispVal, L"Value", errorMsg, 1, value);
int res = result2.vt;
result1.pdispVal -> Release ();
#ifdef CLEAR_VARIANTS
VariantClear ( & value);
#endif
}
#ifdef CLEAR_VARIANTS

I did some of my homework and finally translated the VB script to C++,
but it still don't work, it compiles and start the , but when the
codes reaches the first AutoWrap of my "newly decoded border function"
it crashes the programa.

I don't think that you are using my code since I dont have an AutoWrap
method.

Also, this code is totally out of my league:
 >      VARIANT root[64] = {0}; // Generic IDispatchs
 >      VARIANT parm[64] = {0}; // Generic Parameters

I think that you are having IDispatch problems with your pointers but
I am not sure.  I use IDispatch pointers like this:

void PutStringInServer (int row, int column, std::string string)
{
                 //  get rid of the trailing blanks
         string.erase (string.find_last_not_of (' ') + 1);

         int len = string.size ();
         if (len == 0)

No, I'm not using your code.

After a few more hours searching in the internet I've found a guy in a
forum with the same problem I had, and someone solved the problem (and
I did some work to make it fit my purposes)


IDispatch *pXlSheet;
{ //active sheet
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &result, pXlApp, L"ActiveSheet",
0);
pXlSheet = result.pdispVal;
}

IDispatch *pXlRange2;
for(int aPages = 0; aPages < pages; aPages++){ //selecting range
{
VARIANT parm;
parm.vt = VT_BSTR;
if( aPages == 0)
parm.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"B10:I50");
if( aPages == 1)
parm.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"B60:I100");
if( aPages == 2)
parm.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"B110:I150");
if( aPages == 3)
parm.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"B160:I200");


VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &result, pXlSheet, L"Range", 1,
parm);
VariantClear(&parm);
pXlRange2 = result.pdispVal;
}


IDispatch *pXlBorders; //placing borders
{
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &result, pXlRange2, L"Borders", 0);

pXlBorders = result.pdispVal;

}

//specify which border to operate on
IDispatch *pXlBorder;

for( int borders = 0, tmpBorder = 7; borders < 6; borders ++,
tmpBorder++){
{
VARIANT item;
item.vt = VT_I4;

//item.lVal=7; //7=left,8=top,9=right,10=bottom

item.lVal=tmpBorder;
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, &result, pXlBorders, L"Item",
1,item);

pXlBorder = result.pdispVal;
}

{
VARIANT value;
value.vt = VT_I4;
value.lVal = 2; //xlThick = 4, xlThin=2
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT, &result, pXlBorder, L"Weight",
1,value);
}

{
VARIANT value;
value.vt = VT_I4;
value.lVal = 1; //xlContinuous
VARIANT result;

I don't think that you are using my code since I dont have an AutoWrap
method.

Also, this code is totally out of my league:
VARIANT root[64] = {0}; // Generic IDispatchs
VARIANT parm[64] = {0}; // Generic Parameters

I think that you are having IDispatch problems with your pointers but
I am not sure. I use IDispatch pointers like this:

void PutStringInServer (int row, int column, std::string string)
{
// get rid of the trailing blanks
string.erase (string.find_last_not_of (' ') + 1);

int len = string.size ();
if (len == 0)

No, I'm not using your code.

After a few more hours searching in the internet I've found a guy in a
forum with the same problem I had, and someone solved the problem (and
I did some work to make it fit my purposes)


IDispatch *pXlSheet;
{ //active sheet
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET,&result, pXlApp, L"ActiveSheet",
0);
pXlSheet = result.pdispVal;
}

IDispatch *pXlRange2;
for(int aPages = 0; aPages< pages; aPages++){ //selecting range
{
VARIANT parm;
parm.vt = VT_BSTR;
if( aPages == 0)
parm.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"B10:I50");
if( aPages == 1)
parm.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"B60:I100");
if( aPages == 2)
parm.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"B110:I150");
if( aPages == 3)
parm.bstrVal = ::SysAllocString(L"B160:I200");


VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET,&result, pXlSheet, L"Range", 1,
parm);
VariantClear(&parm);
pXlRange2 = result.pdispVal;
}


IDispatch *pXlBorders; //placing borders
{
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET,&result, pXlRange2, L"Borders", 0);

pXlBorders = result.pdispVal;

}

//specify which border to operate on
IDispatch *pXlBorder;

for( int borders = 0, tmpBorder = 7; borders< 6; borders ++,
tmpBorder++){
{
VARIANT item;
item.vt = VT_I4;

//item.lVal=7; //7=left,8=top,9=right,10=bottom

item.lVal=tmpBorder;
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET,&result, pXlBorders, L"Item",
1,item);

pXlBorder = result.pdispVal;
}

{
VARIANT value;
value.vt = VT_I4;
value.lVal = 2; //xlThick = 4, xlThin=2
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT,&result, pXlBorder, L"Weight",
1,value);
}

{
VARIANT value;
value.vt = VT_I4;
value.lVal = 1; //xlContinuous
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT,&result, pXlBorder, L"LineStyle",
1,value);
}
{
VARIANT value;
value.vt = VT_I4;
value.lVal = 1; //Black
VARIANT result;
VariantInit(&result);
AutoWrap(DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT,&result, pXlBorder, L"ColorIndex",
1,value);
}
}
}

Glad you found something that worked for you.
