< hr > < a name = "details" > < / a > < h2 > Detailed Description< / h2 >
< p > This class is defined in the < b > TQt < a href = "activentqt.html#ActiveTQt" > ActiveTQt< / a > Extension< / b > , which can be found in the < tt > qt/extensions< / tt > directory. It is not included in the main TQt API.
< p >
The TQAxObject class provides a < a href = "tqobject.html" > TQObject< / a > that wraps a COM object.
< p >
< p > A TQAxObject can be instantiated as an empty object, with the name
of the COM object it should wrap, or with a pointer to the
IUnknown that represents an existing COM object. If the COM object
implements the IDispatch interface, the properties, methods and
events of that object become available as TQt properties, slots and
signals. The base class, < a href = "qaxbase.html" > TQAxBase< / a > , provides an API to access the
COM object directly through the IUnknown pointer.
< p > TQAxObject is a TQObject and can be used as such, e.g. it can be
organized in an object hierarchy, receive events and connect to
signals and slots.
< p > < b > Warning:< / b >
You can subclass TQAxObject, but you cannot use the < a href = "metaobjects.html#TQ_OBJECT" > TQ_OBJECT< / a > macro
in the subclass (the generated < a href = "moc.html#moc" > moc< / a > -file will not compile), so you
cannot add further signals, slots or properties. This limitation is
due to the metaobject information generated in runtime.
To work around this problem, aggregate the TQAxObject as a member of
the < a href = "tqobject.html" > TQObject< / a > subclass.

< h3 class = fn > < a name = "TQAxObject" > < / a > TQAxObject::TQAxObject ( < a href = "tqobject.html" > TQObject< / a > * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
< / h3 >
Creates an empty COM object and propagates < em > parent< / em > and < em > name< / em >
to the < a href = "tqobject.html" > TQObject< / a > constructor. To initialize the object, call < a href = "qaxbase.html#setControl" > setControl< / a > .
< h3 class = fn > < a name = "TQAxObject-2" > < / a > TQAxObject::TQAxObject ( const < a href = "ntqstring.html" > TQString< / a > & c, < a href = "tqobject.html" > TQObject< / a > * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
< / h3 >
Creates a TQAxObject that wraps the COM object < em > c< / em > . < em > parent< / em > and
< em > name< / em > are propagated to the < a href = "tqwidget.html" > TQWidget< / a > contructor.
< p > < p > See also < a href = "qaxbase.html#control-prop" > control< / a > .
< h3 class = fn > < a name = "TQAxObject-3" > < / a > TQAxObject::TQAxObject ( IUnknown * iface, < a href = "tqobject.html" > TQObject< / a > * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
< / h3 >
Creates a TQAxObject that wraps the COM object referenced by < em > iface< / em > . < em > parent< / em > and < em > name< / em > are propagated to the < a href = "tqobject.html" > TQObject< / a >
contructor.
< h3 class = fn > < a name = "~TQAxObject" > < / a > TQAxObject::~TQAxObject ()
< / h3 >
Releases the COM object and destroys the TQAxObject,
cleaning up all allocated resources.
< h3 class = fn > < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > < a name = "dynamicCall" > < / a > TQAxBase::dynamicCall ( const < a href = "ntqcstring.html" > TQCString< / a > & function, const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var1 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var2 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var3 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var4 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var5 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var6 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var7 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var8 = TQVariant ( ) )
< / h3 >
Calls the COM object's method < em > function< / em > , passing the
parameters < em > var1< / em > , < em > var1< / em > , < em > var2< / em > , < em > var3< / em > , < em > var4< / em > , < em > var5< / em > ,
< em > var6< / em > , < em > var7< / em > and < em > var8< / em > , and returns the value returned by
the method, or an invalid < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > if the method does not return
a value or when the function call failed.
< p > If < em > function< / em > is a method of the object the string must be provided
as the full prototype, for example as it would be written in a
< a href = "tqobject.html#connect" > TQObject::connect< / a > () call.
< pre >
activeX-> dynamicCall( "Navigate(const < a href = "ntqstring.html" > TQString< / a > & )", "www.trolltech.com" );
< / pre >
< p > Alternatively a function can be called passing the parameters embedded
in the string, e.g. above function can also be invoked using
< pre >
activeX-> dynamicCall("Navigate(\"www.trolltech.com\");
< / pre >
All parameters are passed as strings; it depends on the control whether
they are interpreted correctly, and is slower than using the prototype
with correctly typed parameters.
< p > If < em > function< / em > is a property the string has to be the name of the
property. The property setter is called when < em > var1< / em > is a valid TQVariant,
otherwise the getter is called.
< pre >
activeX-> dynamicCall( "Value", 5 );
< a href = "ntqstring.html" > TQString< / a > text = activeX-> dynamicCall( "Text" ).toString();
< / pre >
Note that it is faster to get and set properties using
< a href = "tqobject.html#property" > TQObject::property< / a > () and < a href = "tqobject.html#setProperty" > TQObject::setProperty< / a > ().
< p > It is only possible to call functions through < a href = "qaxbase.html#dynamicCall" > dynamicCall< / a > () that
have parameters or return values of datatypes supported by
< a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > . See the < a href = "qaxbase.html" > TQAxBase< / a > class documentation for a list of
supported and unsupported datatypes. If you want to call functions
that have unsupported datatypes in the parameter list, use
< a href = "qaxbase.html#queryInterface" > queryInterface< / a > () to retrieve the appropriate COM interface, and
use the function directly.
< p > < pre >
IWebBrowser2 *webBrowser = 0;
activeX-> queryInterface( IID_IWebBrowser2, (void**)& webBrowser );
if ( webBrowser ) {
webBrowser-> Navigate2( pvarURL );
webBrowser-> Release();
}
< / pre >
< p > This is also more efficient.
< p > Example: < a href = "qaxcontainer-example-qutlook.html#x2720" > qutlook/centralwidget.cpp< / a > .
< h3 class = fn > < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > < a name = "dynamicCall-2" > < / a > TQAxBase::dynamicCall ( const < a href = "ntqcstring.html" > TQCString< / a > & function, < a href = "ntqvaluelist.html" > TQValueList< / a > < TQVariant> & vars )
< / h3 >
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
< p > Calls the COM object's method < em > function< / em > , passing the
parameters in < em > vars< / em > , and returns the value returned by
the method. If the method does not return a value or when
the function call failed this function returns an invalid
< a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > object.
< p > The TQVariant objects in < em > vars< / em > are updated when the method has
out-parameters.
< h3 class = fn > < a href = "qaxobject.html" > TQAxObject< / a > * < a name = "querySubObject" > < / a > TQAxBase::querySubObject ( const < a href = "ntqcstring.html" > TQCString< / a > & name, const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var1 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var2 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var3 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var4 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var5 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var6 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var7 = TQVariant ( ), const < a href = "ntqvariant.html" > TQVariant< / a > & var8 = TQVariant ( ) )
< / h3 >
Returns a pointer to a TQAxObject wrapping the COM object provided
by the method or property < em > name< / em > , passing passing the parameters
< em > var1< / em > , < em > var1< / em > , < em > var2< / em > , < em > var3< / em > , < em > var4< / em > , < em > var5< / em > , < em > var6< / em > ,
< em > var7< / em > and < em > var8< / em > .
< p > If < em > name< / em > is provided by a method the string must include the
full function prototype.
< p > If < em > name< / em > is a property the string must be the name of the property,
and < em > var1< / em > , ... < em > var8< / em > are ignored.
< p > The returned TQAxObject is a child of this object (which is either of
type TQAxObject or < a href = "qaxwidget.html" > TQAxWidget< / a > ), and is deleted when this object is
deleted. It is however safe to delete the returned object yourself,
and you should do so when you iterate over lists of subobjects.
< p > COM enabled applications usually have an object model publishing
certain elements of the application as dispatch interfaces. Use
this method to navigate the hierarchy of the object model, e.g.
< p > < pre >
< a href = "qaxwidget.html" > TQAxWidget< / a > outlook( "Outlook.Application" );
TQAxObject *session = outlook.< a href = "qaxbase.html#querySubObject" > querySubObject< / a > ( "Session" );
if ( session ) {
TQAxObject *defFolder = session-> < a href = "qaxbase.html#querySubObject" > querySubObject< / a > (
"GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders)",
"olFolderContacts" );
//...
}
