COM-code reference list?


Recommended Posts

I looked in the help file and around the site, but didn't find a list of all the COM-code actions/functions? If one exists can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks much.

Yeah, I was wanting to know about the methods I guess.

Com support is build per software package... so there's no single reference...

Oh, I see. Right now I'm specifically looking at Internet Explorer. Is there a reference for it somewhere?

Excellent questions. Are there some common resources to go search out the methods that work with different software programs?

Thanks.

The Helpfile also explains how you can browse information about the available Com objects on your PC using The "OLE/COM Object Viewer" ...

If you're looking for information regarding the COM collections, properties, and methods used in MS Word, Excel, and Access, the following items will be your best friends:

1. Macro recorder. Start recording, do what you want your script to do, stop recording, then examine the macro code that results in the VBA editor (ALT+F11).

2. The VBA object browser, available by hitting F2 once inside the VBA editor. You can get context-sensitive help on any supported object and its methods. Has a great search function.

3. MSDN's Office automation documentation, online: MSDN Office

4. Professional VBA books and tutorials.

I have used a combination of all of these things. I still do to this day.
