Ole objects in Qt(MS OFFice)

[mchara]

try passing the document you want to view as the control (like "C:\\somedoc.xls") .

The QAxWidget with setControl to a file generates warnings and says that an object doesn't support automation and fails to activate it.
Any ideas why it happens?

Indeed weird, try passing "Excel.Application" then. And check out the "webbrowser" example - it uses the approach directly to embed a web browser and call its functions. You can use it as a test bed (even from within Designer), you just might need to remove the dynamicCall() line.

Sorry I can't test it by myself but I don't have Excel and I'm currently working on Linux and don't want to stop to reboot the machine

I first tried

dumpcpp Excel.Application -o excel

which only gave me

dumpcpp: type library '' not found

Then I found this thread: http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-intere.../msg00704.html, so I tried:

dumpcpp {00020813-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} -o excel

which worked, but the resulting excel.h is 166k lines so I don't feel like diving into it as I'm not that familiar with the subject.

Yeah, already tried... but it generates automation object interface only.
Just as QAxObject ...
