Create a Checkbox in a Word Document (OLE2)

Oct 05, 2005 at 11:49 AM | 31 Views

Hi @all,

I want to create a WORD Document with ABAP. I created an OLE2 Object and now I want to generate a Checkbox in the WORD Document. My Syntax is the following:

DATA: o_word TYPE ole2_object.

  CREATE OBJECT o_word 'Word.Basic'.

  CALL METHOD OF o_word 'FileNew'
    EXPORTING
    #1 = 'normal.dot'.
         
  CALL METHOD OF o_word 'AppShow'.

  CALL METHOD OF o_word 'CHECKBOX'.

Now my Problem is, that the CheckBox doesn't appear and I really don't have any information about what Parameters the Method 'CHECKBOX' (Word.Basic) needs.

Can anyone help me to create a CheckBox in a WORD Document and further where I can get some information about what Parameters the Word.Basic Methods need.

Thanks a lot...

Christian

    How do you insert a checkbox manually? You can record a macro in Word of the process of inserting the checkbox, then look at the VB code to figure out how to code it in ABAP.

    I can help you if you tell me how to create the checkbox manually.

      @ Rich:

      The Macro code to generate a CheckBox manually is:

          
ActiveDocument.ToggleFormsDesign
    Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEControl ClassType:="Forms.CheckBox.1"

      Can I also use Word.Application Objects instead of Word.Basic?

      Because the code I have posted here seems to be the syntax I must use with Word.Application
