Yes, pcall is definitely a way to go.
I recommend using the "disp" class. Try its "info".
However, I think it does not directly support arrays.
But the good news is that it is all open, and you
can use the debugger to trace the "invoke" and the
part where it converts variants to J objects.
You should be able to user "oleaut" functions to
iterate SAFEARRAY and apply variant conversion getting
J boxed array memberwise.
I upload an simple script to open OOo calc to jwiki. I use my bu2.dll vtable
but the general idea is same as your pcall.dll. It requires more work to make
it useful.
I've been told that files saved by Excel 2007 cannot be opened by Excel 97-2003
although it is still possible to save as the Excel 97-2003 format. I'm not
willing to spend money to buy MS Office 2007 so that Tara will not be enhanced
to work with Excel 2007's native format. Future work will be done on OOo calc.
