MS Word/ ODF Automation in Qt

Question

Hi All,

How can I perform automation of MS Word documents (.doc) or ODF documents (.odt) in Qt 4.5? I know using the QAxWidget, QAxObject.

I have data (QString) and few images as well. I have to add them into the document. I googled but I couldn't find any commands for MS- Word/ ODF. But I want the specific commands that should be passed in QAxObject::dynamicCall() function to perform my operations.

For e.g in MS Excel we have to use something like,

excel.querySubObject("ActiveWorkBook");

which will return the object of the Active workbook of the Excel document.

What are all the commands that are available for the generation of MS-Word or ODF (odt) documents? I am using Windows XP. Any links, examples are welcome..

Answer 1

Take a look at http://doc.trolltech.com/qq/qq27-odfwriter.html, Qt provides functionality to create OpenDocument Format (ODF) files.

Answer 2

The ActiveX commands related to the MS Word can be obtained by the VBAWD10.chm that is being installed along with MS - Word.

The details of the ActiveX help documents available can be obtained here.

The toughest part is to conform those in such a way that it can accessed through the ActiveQt Module.
