RE: [IronPython] Word Automation
Hi,
Tim already answered the first problem you faced, let's see if I can
help with the others.
I do not understand why I cannot iterate in the collection of
Documents
While the collection you get back may (and I am not sure whether it does
or not) inherit from IEnumerable,
the code I put in IronPython doesn't detect it yet so we cannot iterate
it the tradiional Pythonic way. Anthony
Tarlano and I played with this already and we have been successful using
methods Count and Item on the
collection (the collection we enumerated was collection of spelling
correction hints):
import sys
sys.LoadAssemblyByName('Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word')
import Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as Word
wapp = Word.ApplicationClass()
wapp.Documents.Add()
com_object Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.DocumentClass
s = wapp.GetSpellingSuggestions('tonny')
for i in xrange(s.Count):
... print s.Item(i + 1).Name
...
tinny
Tony
tiny
sonny
tone
Same goes for collection of documents:
import sys
sys.LoadAssemblyByName(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word)
import Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as wordApp
mApp = wordApp.ApplicationClass()
mApp.Visible=True
mApp.Documents.Open(D:\\a.doc)
mApp.Documents.Add()
for i in xrange(mApp.Documents.Count):
... print mApp.Documents.Item(i + 1).Name
...
Document1
a.doc
I cannot select a given document using its Name
I was able to access the document by name using slightly modified code:
print mApp.Documents.Item(X.doc).Name
x.doc
I would like to translate the following vb statement in python
Documents.Open FileName:=C:\Files\Doc.doc, ReadOnly:=True
doc3 = mApp.Documents.Open(FileName='c:\tmp\Doc1.doc', ReadOnly=
True)
Passing parameters by name to COM objects is not implemented in
IronPython.
To open document read only, you can do following:
mApp.Documents.Open(D:\\x.doc, False, True)
The 3rd parameter is Read Only. The rest of the parameters have
default values,
which IronPython will add.
The COM support in IronPython is going to be extended to get the best
possible experience. Currently the support is only very simple.
I hope this helps a little.
Martin

RE: [IronPython] word Automation
With some code changes in IronPython(the changes are not in 0.7.5) I was able to get this working as far as making word app visible. However I was not yet successful with the Documents collection access. The object returned from the Documents property (and this was just a quick look, I am going to investiagate further when I am back) didn't have much type information with it so IronPython didn't know how to use it. Thanks for the bug and I hope to have some answers soon.

Re: [IronPython] word Automation
Hi, Yes it should work, but I don't have the correct assembly to be able to test it. You should remember that you should just translate the code from VB to IronPython. IronPython is a dynamically bound language, so you don't have to do things like declaring the local variable oWord (i.e. 'oWord = wordApp.ApplicationClass') In python an variable object is bound to a type upon assignment to an Rvalue object If you tell me how to get the assembly having Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word I will try it out for you and post back the code snippet.
