OLECREATE command

Allows to create an OLE object instance.

Syntax

CHGVAR	VAR(&CMD) VALUE('OLECREATE')
CHGVAR	VAR(&PARM1) VALUE('"Reference towards the object"')
CHGVAR	VAR(&PARM2) VALUE(' ')
CALL	PGM(LNCCMD) PARM(&HANDLE &CMD &OPT &PARM1 + &PARM2 &RESULT)

Parameters

Parameters
Parm1	Reference to the application for which you want to create an instance. For instance, to create a Microsoft Access instance, specify : "Access.application". To create a Lotus instance : "Notes.NotesSession". Object references are located in Windows registry, under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key.

RESULT	At return, the &RESULT parameter contains the identifier of the instance of the created object, on 10 characters. This identifier will be used by the OLECALL command.

Use of this command requires a good Windows OLE programming knowledge as well as a good knowledge of the object to communicate with.

LNCCMDR CMD(OLECREATE) PARM1(ACCESS.APPLICATION) +

RESULT(&RES)

LNCCMD CMD(OLECALL) PARM1(&RES) +

PARM2('NewCurrentDatabase("LAUNCH24.MDB")')

LNCCMD CMD(OLECALL) PARM1(&RES) +
