This should now mostly work. respond_to? is not supported for COM yet, but "methods" is (try workbooks.methods(false)).
require 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' include Microsoft::Office::Interop::Excel excel = ApplicationClass.new excel.Visible = true workbooks = excel.Workbooks workbooks.Open('c:\\foo.xsl') You can also do: def newCOM progId System::Activator.CreateInstance(System::Type.GetTypeFromProgID(progId)) end ex = newCOM("Excel.Application") ex.Visible = true nb = ex.Workbooks.Add ws = nb.Worksheets[1] p ws.Name 10.times do |i| 10.times do |j| ws.Cells[i + 1, j + 1] = (i + 1) * (j + 1) end end Tomas -----Original Message----- From: ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org [mailto:ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Siebold Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 9:08 AM To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Interop with Excel I'm replying to my own post because it looks like I found part of my problem. I changed the code to: require 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' include Microsoft::Office::Interop::Excel excel = ApplicationClass.new excel.Visible = true and that works. But I'm still having trouble getting access a Workbook: p excel.ActiveWorkbook workbooks = excel.Workbooks p workbooks.respond_to?('Open') returns: nil false I would be grateful for any help.
