Table and border creation details

[Matrix39]

i need to create a table using Microsft word object library andn example is already there i.e. word2000demo But some constants have nodescriptions or details given.e.g.

caErrChk (Word_GetProperty (columnsHandle, NULL, Word_SelectionBorders, CAVT_OBJHANDLE, &bordersHandle));
caErrChk (FmtAllBorders (bordersHandle, Word_BorderLineStyle, WordConst_wdLineStyleSingle));
caErrChk (FmtAllBorders (bordersHandle, Word_BorderLineWidth, WordConst_wdLineWidth150pt));

what is the range and values of Word_BorderLineStyle and WordConst_wdLineWidth150pt in the above functions, where can i find details about it ??

Moreover i want to have internals borders as well like the EXCEL grids how can i create that of customized Widths ?? Similarly the effect of two rows MERGED together and in the next column two rows being separated (Without Merge)??

 thanks

Hi Matrix39,

You can find a lot of information about the inner-workings of these functions and constants by taking a look at the word2000.h file. This is most likely at the following path on your computer:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI<version>\toolslib\activex\word\word2000.h

From looking at this file, you can search and find that WordConst_wdLineWidth150pt is an enum defined to have the value of 12. By looking at the other entries in the WordEnum_WdLineWidth, you can see what the range of values for that field will be.

Also, by searching for WordConst_wdLineStyleSingle, you can find the enum WordEnum_WdLineStyle. This enum defines all the valid line styles which can used with the type Word_BorderLineStyle.

By searching for either "cell" or "width" you can find which functions to use to modify the width of cells in your table.

Hopefully this will provide you with a good starting point for understanding what's going on.

Best Regards,

Hello, is there any discription available of word2000.fp for CVI. I already installed MSDN from Microsoft, but no help function is working.

What I realy need is to open a document linked with a "template.dot" and then copy some "AutoText" into the new created document. 

I have realy no Idea what to do.

Please give me a hint

Thanks
