Hello Roger,

You can get a reference to a part of the document recognized by the smart tag. See the Target parameter in the TadxSmartTagAction.OnClick event handler. 


procedure TSmartTagModule.adxSmartTag1Actions0Click(Sender: TObject;
  const AppName: WideString; const Target: IDispatch; const Text,
  Xml: WideString; LocaleID: Integer);
begin
  ShowMessage(AppName + #13#10 +
    OleVariant(Target).Application.Name);
end;

Sorry Dmitry, I want to be able to get a reference to the application in the OnRecognize event or even in the OnInitialize in the SmartTagModule.

Any chance?

Hi Roger,

You may try to use the GetActiveOleObject function depending on the ApplicationName parameter of the event handlers you mentioned.

Hi Dmitry,

I would like to use smarttag to modify a word document.

But, I don't have access to the word application, how to do this ?

Your sample displayed the application name, but I can't reach anything else. Could you show me how to insert text for example ?

Regards,

Cedric
