Overriding WordApp.OnDocumentOpen Event
Incompatible Types: Parametr Lists Differ

Hi,

Having trouble with this, I declared the replacement procedure as

procedure TAddInModule.DoOnDocOpen(Sender: TObject; var Doc: OLEVariant);

which is what the Word2000.pas file seems to say it should be, but it don't work.

I want to override the open and save events for all Office apps, and I realise I'll need separate procedures for each app to deal with different event names and parameters, but where can I find the parameter info to do it successfully?
TIA Nick.

Hi Nick,

What Delphi version do you use?

You can find parameter info in the appropriate source files. See the {$DELPHI}\Ocx\Servers folder.

Sorry, I missed the botom bit. I found the source files, that's where I got the info about the parameters to use (in Word2000.pas).

TWordApplicationDocumentOpen = procedure(Sender: TObject; var Doc: OleVariant) of object;

I checked the Excel2000.pas code aganst one of your HowTos (Closing an Excel workbook)and the parameters matched so I assumed the Word2000.pas code would to, but it won't compile.

Hi Nick,

Strange. In my Word2000.pas from Delphi 7 I found the following declaration: 

TWordApplicationDocumentOpen = procedure(ASender: TObject; const Doc: WordDocument) of object;

Hi Dmitry,

My fault, I was looking at Delphi6\ocx\servers\Word2000.pas not Delphi7. I ran a search to find the file but must have clicked on the wrong copy, sorry for that. Thanks for clearing it up for me, I obviously need better glasses.

Regards Nick
