How to use ActiveX to control OO

Post by EwenF »

I have been using ActiveX to control MS Word for generating reports (text and images) from my application written in C. Becaue MS keeps changing the interface to Word I hope that I can use OO instead but I have no idea how to do this. Does OO even support ActiveX control from a C program?
I found the file so_activex.dll but don't know how that can help me. Any help much appreciated. Regards, Ewen

You could probably start with the API documentation here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wik ... ion_Bridge

You might also find it helpful to look around in the API Project pages, and even join the API mailing list.
