Insert list in Word documment using qaxobject

[Rigoberto]

How can I insert a list (numbered or not) in a Word document using QAxobject?

generatedocumentation requieres an object name but in this case I don't known what's the object name. I tried with word.application, selection, paragraphs, ....

Thanks in advanced

@Rigoberto Looks like you want the Word.Paragraph.startNewList() to get a Word.List object. You can then call Word.List.insertParagraph() to insert items, and other methods to format etc.

@ChrisW67 thanks. I try with following code:

QAxWidget *word = new QAxWidget("Word.App...
QAxObject *docs = new QAxObject;
docs = word->querySubObject("Documents");
docs->dynamicCall("Open(...
QAxObject *doc = word->querySubObject("ActiveDoc...
QAxObject *p = doc->querySubObject("Paragraphs(1)");
QAxObject *l = p->querySubObject("startNewList()");

But Word crashes :(

What am I doing wrong?

@Rigoberto Could you please post complete code?

Have you included the Word typelib in the TYPELIBS variable? I think the CLSID would be
{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
but I do not have Windows machine or Word to look at. See here for a similar example. Getting this bit right will make navigating the Word API much more straightforward for most cases by generating C++ class wrappers.

Thank you Chris.

I solved it by generating a text file with instructions in vbscript and executing it afterwards. With this variant I can manipulate word documents more easily but it only works for Windows.

It's not that efficient but I have a lot more documentation for working with word.application in vbscript.

I reiterate my thanks for answering me so quickly.
