WIN32OLE objects represent OLE Automation object in Ruby.
By using WIN32OLE, you can access OLE server like VBScript.
Here is sample script.
require 'win32ole' excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') excel.visible = true workbook = excel.Workbooks.Add(); worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1); worksheet.Range("A1:D1").value = ["North","South","East","West"]; worksheet.Range("A2:B2").value = [5.2, 10]; worksheet.Range("C2").value = 8; worksheet.Range("D2").value = 20; range = worksheet.Range("A1:D2"); range.select chart = workbook.Charts.Add; workbook.saved = true; excel.ActiveWorkbook.Close(0); excel.Quit();
Unfortunately, Win32OLE doesn’t support the argument passed by reference directly. Instead, Win32OLE provides WIN32OLE::ARGV or WIN32OLE_VARIANT object. If you want to get the result value of argument passed by reference, you can use WIN32OLE::ARGV or WIN32OLE_VARIANT.
oleobj.method(arg1, arg2, refargv3) puts WIN32OLE::ARGV[2] # the value of refargv3 after called oleobj.method
or
refargv3 = WIN32OLE_VARIANT.new(XXX, WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_BYREF|WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_XXX) oleobj.method(arg1, arg2, refargv3) p refargv3.value # the value of refargv3 after called oleobj.method.
After invoking OLE methods with reference arguments, you can access the value of arguments by using ARGV.
If the method of OLE(COM) server written by C#.NET is following:
void calcsum(int a, int b, out int c) {
c = a + b;
}
then, the Ruby OLE(COM) client script to retrieve the value of argument c after invoking calcsum method is following:
a = 10 b = 20 c = 0 comserver.calcsum(a, b, c) p c # => 0 p WIN32OLE::ARGV # => [10, 20, 30]
You can use WIN32OLE_VARIANT object to retrieve the value of reference arguments instead of referring WIN32OLE::ARGV.

Defines the constants of OLE Automation server as mod’s constants. The first argument is WIN32OLE object or type library name. If 2nd argument is omitted, the default is WIN32OLE. The first letter of Ruby’s constant variable name is upper case, so constant variable name of WIN32OLE object is capitalized. For example, the ‘xlTop’ constant of Excel is changed to ‘XlTop’ in WIN32OLE. If the first letter of constant variable is not [A-Z], then the constant is defined as CONSTANTS hash element.
