Example: Using the MS Automation interface


Introduction
The following three examples illustrate how to use the MS Automation interface.

Example 1: MS Excel
In this example, an output value from an input field is written in an Excel table.

'VBS113
Dim objExcelApp
Set objExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcelApp.Visible = True
'
'ExcelExample.xls is to create before executing this procedure.
'Replace <path> with the real path of the file ExcelExample.xls.
objExcelApp.Workbooks.Open "<path>\ExcelExample.xls"
objExcelApp.Cells(4, 3).Value = ScreenItems("IOField1").OutputValue
objExcelApp.ActiveWorkbook.Save
objExcelApp.Workbooks.Close
objExcelApp.Quit
Set objExcelApp = Nothing

Example 2: MS Access
This example opens a report from MS Access.

'VBS114
Dim objAccessApp
Set objAccessApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
objAccessApp.Visible = True
'
'DbSample.mdb and RPT_WINCC_DATA have to create before executing
'this procedure.
'Replace <path> with the real path of the database DbSample.mdb.
objAccessApp.OpenCurrentDatabase "<path>\DbSample.mdb", False
objAccessApp.DoCmd.OpenReport "RPT_WINCC_DATA", 2
objAccessApp.CloseCurrentDatabase
Set objAccessApp = Nothing

Example 3: MS Internet Explorer


This example opens the MS IE.

'VBS115
Dim objIE
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Navigate "http://www.siemens.de"
Do
Loop While objIE.Busy
objIE.Resizable = True
objIE.Width = 500
objIE.Height = 500
objIE.Left = 0
objIE.Top = 0
objIE.Visible = True
