Office Spreadsheet COM interface question

[Florian Kock]

Hi all!

I have a problem with the OWC Spreadsheet 9.0. I use the spreadsheet as an
ActiveX control on a dialog.
Note that I am using Qt for the GUI, so there is no .NET, no MFC and no
Windows Forms involved, it's good old C++.

Anyway, the problem is: although most function calls via COM can be done by
trial and error (i.e. looking how the method looks like in VBA and then
trying to find it the function names list), there are some methods that
don't seem to get exported.

I would like to know, is there a reference of the exported functions,
including a description of each function's parameter(s)? So far, all I could
find was a lot of VBA documentation and some (rather small) examples using
MFC or .NET with C++. What I need is a description of the functions that are
exported, along with their parameters, for C++.
Or maybe I am missing something here. I am rather new to COM, so perhaps
there is a way to get a list of all methods from the OWC.DLL or something?

I have searched MSDN, Microsofts web developer pages, everything I could
think of...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Florian Kock

there used to be a command line utility in c++ which allowed you to probe
the exported function. been too long now and i can't remember it. you may
want to look at the office web component toolpack's object reference model
as well.
