Returns running OLE Automation object or WIN32OLE
object from moniker. 1st argument should be OLE program id or class id or moniker.
WIN32OLE.connect('Excel.Application') # => WIN32OLE object which represents running Excel.
Sets current codepage. The WIN32OLE.codepage
is initialized according to Encoding.default_internal
. If Encoding.default_internal
is nil then WIN32OLE.codepage
is initialized according to Encoding.default_external
.
WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_UTF8 WIN32OLE.codepage = 65001
Runs the early binding method to get property. The 1st argument specifies dispatch ID, the 2nd argument specifies the array of arguments, the 3rd argument specifies the array of the type of arguments.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') puts excel._getproperty(558, [], []) # same effect as puts excel.visible
Runs the early binding method to set property. The 1st argument specifies dispatch ID, the 2nd argument specifies the array of arguments, the 3rd argument specifies the array of the type of arguments.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') excel._setproperty(558, [true], [WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_BOOL]) # same effect as excel.visible = true
Sets property of OLE object. When you want to set property with argument, you can use this method.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') excel.Visible = true book = excel.workbooks.add sheet = book.worksheets(1) sheet.setproperty('Cells', 1, 2, 10) # => The B1 cell value is 10.
Returns help context.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbooks') method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'Add') puts method.helpcontext # => 65717
Returns helpcontext. If helpcontext is not found, then returns nil.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Worksheet') puts tobj.helpfile # => 131185
Returns array of WIN32OLE_VARIABLE
objects which represent variables defined in OLE class.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType') vars = tobj.variables vars.each do |v| puts "#{v.name} = #{v.value}" end The result of above sample script is follows: xlChart = -4109 xlDialogSheet = -4116 xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet = 4 xlExcel4MacroSheet = 3 xlWorksheet = -4167
Returns the type library file path.
tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library') puts tlib.path #-> 'C:\...\EXCEL9.OLB'
Returns the number which represents variable kind.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType') variables = tobj.variables variables.each do |variable| puts "#{variable.name} #{variable.varkind}" end The result of above script is following: xlChart 2 xlDialogSheet 2 xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet 2 xlExcel4MacroSheet 2 xlWorksheet 2
Returns Ruby object wrapping OLE variant whose variant type is VT_ARRAY. The first argument should be Array object which specifies dimensions and each size of dimensions of OLE array. The second argument specifies variant type of the element of OLE array.
The following create 2 dimensions OLE array. The first dimensions size is 3, and the second is 4.
ole_ary = WIN32OLE_VARIANT.array([3,4], VT_I4) ruby_ary = ole_ary.value # => [[0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0]]
Removes all key-value pairs from hsh.
h = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 } #=> {"a"=>100, "b"=>200} h.clear #=> {}
Returns a new hash created by using hsh’s values as keys, and the keys as values. If a key with the same value already exists in the hsh, then the last one defined will be used, the earlier value(s) will be discarded.
h = { "n" => 100, "m" => 100, "y" => 300, "d" => 200, "a" => 0 } h.invert #=> {0=>"a", 100=>"m", 200=>"d", 300=>"y"}
Removes every environment variable.
Returns a new hash created by using environment variable names as values and values as names.
Start tracing
Tracer.on # code to trace here Tracer.off
You can also pass a block:
Tracer.on { # trace everything in this block }
Returns a network byte ordered string form of the IP address.
Returns true
iff the current severity level allows for the printing of WARN
messages.
provides a unified clone
operation, for REXML::XPathParser
to use across multiple Object
types
Creates a matrix where the diagonal elements are composed of values
.
Matrix.diagonal(9, 5, -3) => 9 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 -3
Creates an n
by n
diagonal matrix where each diagonal element is value
.
Matrix.scalar(2, 5) => 5 0 0 5
