How do I know whether an application support OLE2 and which methods & attributes are exposed?
- by Esti
I want to call an ActiveX DLL or OLE2 object from ABAP.
I already know the syntax of how to instantiate the object & execute the methods:
data: my_object type ole2_object.
create object my_object <ole2object>.
call method of my_object <objectmethod>.
But given a particular application, how do I know if this is supported, what the values/names of ole2object and objectmethod is?
Transaction SOLE supplies a table of OLE Applications, among this is Excel.Application which I know can be instantiated as an OLE object, so it looks like you have to add the OLE2 app to this table first, but once again where can I read the data like CLSID & LibType from - is it published as part of the application?
