WIN32OLE return type USERDEFINED

Dominic_Sisneros2 · 18 November 2011 00:27

I am trying to use WIN32OLE to automate Microstation

I have a function

I have an instantiated object
ole.ole_typelib // #<WIN32OLE_TYPELIB:Bentley MicroStation DGN 8.9 Object

app_type = .ole_type // #<WIN32OLE_TYPE:_Application>
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(app,'Point3dFromXYZ')
method.params // [#<WIN32OLE_PARAM:Ax>, #<WIN32OLE_PARAM:Ay>,
#<WIN32OLE_PARAM:Az>]
meth.return_type_detail // ["USERDEFINED", "Point3d"]

(rdb:1) ole.ole_type
#<WIN32OLE_TYPE:_Application>
(rdb:1) app_type = ole.ole_type
#<WIN32OLE_TYPE:_Application>
(rdb:1) WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(app_type,'Point3dFromXYZ')
#<WIN32OLE_METHOD:Point3dFromXYZ>
(rdb:1) meth = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(app_type,'Point3dFromXYZ')
(rdb:1) meth.params
[#<WIN32OLE_PARAM:Ax>, #<WIN32OLE_PARAM:Ay>, #<WIN32OLE_PARAM:Az>]
(rdb:1) meth.return_type_detail
["USERDEFINED", "Point3d"]

so it takes three values and returns a Point3d object. How can I call this?

if I do

ole.Point3dFromXYZ(3,3,2)
pt = WIN32OLE::ARGV
it gives me an array

(rdb:1) ole.Point3dFromXYZ(0,1,2)
nil
(rdb:1) pt = WIN32OLE::ARGV
[0, 1, 2]
(rdb:1) pt.class
Array

(rdb:1) pointClass = ole.ole_typelib.ole_classes.select{|c| c.name =~
/point3d/i}.first
#<WIN32OLE_TYPE:Point3d>
(rdb:1) point.guid
"{7B10D1D8-7A13-4AB2-8119-DFB0606C0C56}"
(rdb:1) WIN32OLE.new(point.guid)
WIN32OLERuntimeError Exception: failed to create WIN32OLE object from
`{7B10D1D8-7A13-4AB2-8119-DFB0606C0C56}'
HRESULT error code:0x80040154

Try the following.

pt = ole.Point3dFromXYZ(3,3,2)

Try the following.

pt = ole.Point3dFromXYZ(3,3,2)

pt = ole.Point3dFromXYZ(3,3,2)
-> nil
pt

Ooops, sorry.
I'm not sure, but you might specify parameter type
when you call Point3dFromXYZ.
What is the result of the following?

meth = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(app_type,'Point3dFromXYZ')
meth.params.map{|e| e.ole_type_detail}

Hello,

(rdb:1) meth = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(app_type, 'Point3dFromXYZ')
#<WIN32OLE_METHOD:Point3dFromXYZ>
(rdb:1) meth.params.map{|e| e.ole_type_detail}

The all arguments of Point3dFromXYZ should be Float.
Try the following.

pt = ole.Point3dFromXYZ(3.0,3.0,2.0)

or

pt = ole.Point3dFromXYZ(3.to_f,3.to_f,2.to_f)

Try to use WIN32OLE_VARIANT

  include WIN32OLE::VARIANT
  a1 = WIN32OLE_VARIANT.new(1, VT_R8)
  a2 = WIN32OLE_VARIANT.new(2, VT_R8)
  a3 = WIN32OLE_VARIANT.new(3, VT_R8)
  pt = app.ole.Point3dFromXYZ(a1, a2, a3)

Hmmm...
Sorry, but I have no idea what to do.
Maybe you must call other methods before you call Point3dFromXYZ.
Or can you call Point3dFromXYZ from VBScript(not VB)?
If so, it helps to solve this issue.
