I'm using the MSOfficeDemo/MSWord classes as a starter.
How can I print a document that is open in Word?
In a new method in the MSWord.java class I've tried:
this.invokeNoReply("Print", this.getDocuments());
this.invokeNoReply("PrintOut", this.getDocuments());
this.invokeNoReply("FilePrint", this.getDocuments());
I get an Unknown Name (hr=-2147352570) error for each of the above calls.
I've been searching for a week now and haven't found a solution.
Rather than guessing, you need to match your method signature to the documentation.
You need to actually print the active document (this.getActiveDocument()) rather than the collection of documents. Then refer to the Document methods to see which method (and arguments) to use, in this case PrintOut is the correct method.
What you pass for the parameters, you need to look at the various method signatures in ComLateBindingObject and pick the one that best matches your needs (you can pass one or two arguments, more than that you need an array.
This code should work... haven't tested it (don't have MSWord on my Windows VM) but combined with the links above it should get you in the right direction:
this.invokeNoReply("PrintOut", getActiveDocument());
If that doesn't work, try:
this.invokeNoReply("PrintOut", getActiveDocument().getIDispatch());
If you actually need to pass any of the parameters, you'll create a VARIANT for them and start filling in 1 or more of the parameters (or an array of them).

In my current project in Access VBA, I created a window which works like a console and now I am trying to add a possibility to display any public variable. It should work like:
Show_var [variable_name]
So it should be like in the direct window where i can type:
? pVar.variable_A
I found out that using
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents(11).CodeModule.CountOfLines
I can display the number of lines within a module or form so I thought perhaps I could somehow find the variables there, cycle through them and when the correct one is found, its value can be shown. OFC I could make a Select Case Statement where all variables are included but that is not the way I want to do it because it is complicated and must be changed every time update my public variable list.
There are so many problems that I think you are out of luck. Let me just list some of them:
There is no way to get a list of all variables - that would mean you would need access to the internal symbol table.
As a consequence, you would have to read the code (CodeModule lets you read the code of a module), and write an own parser to fetch all declarations (hopefully you use Option Explicit)
AFAIK, the is no method that can access the content of a variable via it's name.
Even if there would be any such method: What would you do with different data types, arrays and especially with objects.
If a user runs into problems, often it is a runtime error. If you don't handle that errors with some kind of error handler, the only option if a user cannot enter the debugger is to press "End" - which would destroy the content of all variables.
You have to deal with scope of variables, you can have several variables with the same name and you will likely have lots of variables that are out of scope in the moment you want to dump them.
How can i retrieve the is_sfparam-content, either using query or function module.
then will be passed as a parameter to cl_recp_data_cn_general=>get_contract.
do you have any idea? Where can I get that is_sfparam-content?
Thanks
CALL METHOD cl_recp_data_cn_general=>get_contract
EXPORTING
id_guid = is_sfparam-content
IMPORTING
es_contract = contract
CHANGING
cf_error = lf_error.
This guid paramater brings no sense as it is generated in runtime. You can check this yourself by putting breakpoint at the first line (e.g. line 102) of method cl_recp_data_cn_general=>get_contract and checking id_guid var in debugger. It will be different with each run of preview in RECN tcode.
Check also line 11 of CONSTRUCTOR method of CL_RECP_SF_DOC class, it is executed during each form generation.
The real contract object lays in variable go_busobj of program SAPLRECA_BDT_APPL_TOOL which brings RECN functionality and it is global i.e. it is loaded into memory constantly while RECN is running, just passing doc object into called methods thru the call stack, which you can follow in debugger.
Where really form generation takes place is CL_RECP_SF_JOB class, for preview it is _FP_PREVIEW method, for print it is _FP_PRINT. For example, in preview method form FM is called in that place
What you need to do if you want to call arbitrary contract print-form, which is what I assume you want to do by asking this question:
Find out smartform FM name by putting breakpoint in the above line
Build parameters for this FM calling. The only obligatory parameter is LS_SFPARAM-CONTENT which is the GUID.
You can generate this GUID manually by creating CL_RECP_SF_DOC object, let it be io_doc var. The constructor of this object has input parameter is_doc which should be filled according to the attributes of contract which you want to print, and which are stored in VIBDRO and VICNCN tables.
After creating this object pass its attribute io_doc->md_guid to ls_sfparam-content, generate other parameters with CL_RECP_SF_JOB->_sf_get_form_param and
Run the smartform FM /1BCDWB/SF000000XX found at step 1 with these parameters
I didn't check all these steps by myself but I believe it should work.
I am trying to create a custom inspection in IntelliJ using structural search. The idea is to find all methods that have one or more parameters, of which at least one is not annotated. Bonus: Only hit non-primitive types of parameters.
So far, I have created the following Search Template:
$MethodType$ $Method$(#$ParamAnnotation$ $ParameterType$ $Parameter$);
using these filters and the search target "complete match":
$Parameters$: count[1,∞]
$ParamAnnotation$: count[0,0]
However, this only hits methods without any parameters annotated. I want it to also match methods where only some parameters have an annotation but others don't.
Is it possible to reference the count of one variable in the filter of another, e.g. by using script filters? If so, how?
You can do this by creating a Search Template like this:
$MethodType$ $Method$($TypeBefore$ $before$,
#$ParamAnnotation$ $ParameterType$ $Parameter$,
$TypeAfter$ $after$);
Filters:
$Parameters$: count=[1,1] // i.e. no filter
$ParamAnnotation$: count=[0,0]
$before$: count=[0,∞]
$after$: count=[0,∞]
This will find all method with at least one parameter without annotation.
There is a task to call DLL file and get output to the promptassignment variable in automation anywhere. That DLL returns the object (with student name and age). Is there any way to extract that students name and age from Promptassignmet variable without calling another DLL? Thnak you in advance.
Not in the way you would want it to work, no.
Keep in mind that AA is by no means Object oriented. Hence, the parsing of the returned object needs to be done either in the dll itself (if you have access to its source code) or by AA's Before-After String operation.
Note that the latter is only viable when the returned Student object is not hashed, e.g. "Obj#12f837g", but has a ToString() format, e.g. "{student:{name:Foo, age:12}}".
In the former approach, instead of returning the Student object, you could return student.name + ";" + student.age; for example.
If neither of the 2 options listed above are viable for you, you can try creating a metabot via the Metabot Designer in the AAE Client. You can attach the dll and check if you can call its methods individually. The goal would be to find a Getter method for both 'name' and 'age'.
If all else fails, yes, you'll need to either run another dll which would serve your purpose, or create the dll yourself (this sounds like a fairly easy dll, but I could be wrong of course).
Hopefully one of the above will help you or at least guide you on finding your own solution.
Inside an Objective-C method, it is possible to get the selector of the method with the keyword _cmd. Does such a thing exist for the names of arguments?
For example, if I have a method declared as such:
- (void)methodWithAnArgument:(id)foo {
...
}
Is there some sort of construct that would allow me to get access to some sort of string-like representation of the variable name? That is, not the value of foo, but something that actually reflects the variable name "foo" in a local variable inside the method.
This information doesn't appear to be stored in NSInvocation or any of its related classes (NSMethodSignature, etc), so I'm not optimistic this can be done using Apple's frameworks or the runtime. I suspect it might be possible with some sort of compile-time macro, but I'm unfamiliar with C macros so I wouldn't know where to begin.
Edit to contain more information about what I'm actually trying to do.
I'm building a tool to help make working with third-party URL schemes easier. There are two sides to how I want my API to look:
As a consumer of a URL scheme, I can call a method like [twitterHandler showUserWithScreenName:#"someTwitterHandle"];
As a creator of an app with a URL scheme, I can define my URLs in a plist dictionary, whose key-value pairs look something like #"showUserWithScreenName": #"twitter://user?screenName={screenName}".
What I'm working on now is finding the best way to glue these together. The current fully-functioning implementation of showUserWithScreenName: looks something like this:
- (void)showUserWithScreenName:(NSString *)screenName {
[self performCommand:NSStringFromSelector(_cmd) withArguments:#{#"screenName": screenName}];
}
Where performCommand:withArguments: is a method that (besides some other logic) looks up the command key in the plist (in this case "showUserWithScreenName:") and evaluates the value as a template using the passed dictionary as the values to bind.
The problem I'm trying to solve: there are dozens of methods like this that look exactly the same, but just swap out the dictionary definition to contain the correct template params. In every case, the desired dictionary key is the name of the parameter. I'm trying to find a way to minimize my boilerplate.
In practice, I assume I'm going to accept that there will be some boilerplate needed, but I can probably make it ever-so-slightly cleaner thanks to NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings (thanks #CodaFi — I wasn't familiar with that macro!). For the sake of argument, I'm curious if it would be possible to completely metaprogram this using something like forwardInvocation:, which as far as I can tell would require some way to access parameter names.
You can use componentsSeparatedByString: with a : after you get the string from NSStringFromSelector(_cmd) and use your #selector's argument names to put the arguments in the correct order.
You can also take a look at this post, which is describing the method naming conventions in Objective C
