Getting Microsoft Word Object to SaveAs

I am working with QAxObjects to access Microsoft Word and can open and manipulate files but am struggling to get the SaveAs method to work. Does anyone out there have a working example they would be prepared to share?

Thank you

I suppose not that many people on this forum are using ActiveQt since it's only part of commercial Qt/Win. But perhaps we can help if you attach the generated C++ header (dumpcpp) and paste some code what you've tried so far.

Hi,

this seems to work here.

HTH, Bernd

Code:

---

#include <QtGui>
#include <QAxObject>
#include <QAxWidget>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
   QAxWidget word("Word.Application");
   word.setProperty("Visible", true);
   QAxObject * documents = word.querySubObject("Documents");
   documents->dynamicCall("Add (void)");
   QAxObject * document = word.querySubObject("ActiveDocument");
 
   document->dynamicCall("SaveAs (const QString&)", QString("e:/test/docbyqt.doc"));
	document->dynamicCall("Close (boolean)", false);
   word.dynamicCall("Quit (void)");
	return 0;
}

Thanks for the help. As a further complication I needed to save in Word's filtered html format. The following code seems to work.

Code:

---

//Start Word
my_app = new QAxObject("Word.Application", this);
QAxObject* my_docs = my_app->querySubObject("Documents");
 
//Open newDocName
QVariant filename(newDocName);
QVariant confirmconversions(false);
QVariant readonly(false);
QVariant addtorecentfiles(false);
QVariant passworddocument("");
QVariant passwordtemplate("");
QVariant revert(false);
QAxObject* doc = my_docs->querySubObject("Open(const QVariant&, const QVariant&,const QVariant&, const QVariant&, const QVariant&, const QVariant&,const QVariant&)", filename,confirmconversions, readonly, addtorecentfiles, passworddocument, passwordtemplate,	revert);
 
//Pull out active document object
QAxObject* active_doc = my_app->querySubObject("ActiveDocument");
 
QVariant newFileName(fileNameString);
QVariant fileFormat(10); //Saving as filtered html
QVariant LockComments(false);
QVariant Password("");
QVariant recent(true);
QVariant writePassword("");
QVariant ReadOnlyRecommended(false);
 
active_doc->querySubObject("SaveAs(const QVariant&, const QVariant&,const QVariant&, const QVariant&, const QVariant&, const QVariant&,const QVariant&)",    newFileName, fileFormat, LockComments, Password, recent, writePassword, ReadOnlyRecommended);
