Inheriting from WIN32OLE

Can anyone tell me why this does not work?

require "win32ole"
class MSoftManager < WIN32OLE
def initialize
super(‘Micro.SoftManager’)
end
end
mSMan = MSoftManager.new

I get this error:
`new’: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) (ArgumentError)

I got the error, Unknown OLE server : `Micro.SoftManager’.
Your version of WIN32OLE seems quite old.

I got the error, Unknown OLE server : `Micro.SoftManager’.

I got the same error as xellos:

C:\atest\tst_win_ole.rb:9:in `new': wrong # of arguments
    (0 for 1) (ArgumentError)  from C:\atest\tst_win_ole.rb:9

with this code:

···

#---------------------------------------------
require “win32ole”

class IExplorer < WIN32OLE
  def initialize
      super("InternetExplorer.Application")
  end
end

ie = IExplorer.new

#---------------------------------------------

Your version of WIN32OLE seems quite old.

Where can we get the correct version.

I am using ruby 1.6.8 (2002-12-24) [i586-mswin32] on Win XP Pro.
TIA,

Hmm, I tried with WIN32OLE distributed with 1.8, it is very
different from standalone package and rough, although they are
same 0.5.2.

You need to override WIN32OLE.new.

require "win32ole"

class IExplorer < WIN32OLE
  def self.new
      super("InternetExplorer.Application")
  end
end

ie = IExplorer.new

Which distribution are you refering to ?

I have compiled 1.8 from its sources using VC++ 6.0 and the
win32ole.so (61,440 bytes) that is generated looks different from
win32ole.so (61,516 bytes) that comes with Andy’s one-click installer.

How do you know what version of WIN32OLE it is ?

You need to override WIN32OLE.new.

require "win32ole"

class IExplorer < WIN32OLE
  def self.new
      super("InternetExplorer.Application")
  end
end

ie = IExplorer.new

Ok, I will try that …
Thanks,

CVS head.

WIN32OLE::VERSION should indicate the version, but CVS version
is also 0.5.2.
