Build Identifier: 20100617-1415 When I run Snippet199 from teh SWT examples list, the Excel object embedded in the frame is a read-only, non-rich version with no excel-editor menus. The background is gray, and selection is not possible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Load Snippet199 2.Comment the OleAutomation and event listener section (I get an exception in OleAutomation.init when I run the entire snippet) 3.Run the resulting app. All it does is create an OLE Client and add it to the frame

Snippet 199 works fine on my machine: windows xp + office 2003
(In reply to comment #3) > Snippet 199 works fine on my machine: windows xp + office 2003 I have XP Professional version 2002, Service Pack 3 + office 2002. Excel embedded opens as a non-rich read-only as standalone applications, or in an RCP. Word/Explorer work well. Is there a registry key thats probably incorrect on my system? or a dll?
code: public static void main (String [] args) { Display display = new Display (); Shell shell = new Shell (display); shell.setLayout(new FillLayout()); OleClientSite controlSite; try { OleFrame frame = new OleFrame(shell, SWT.NONE); File f = new File("C:/test123.xls"); controlSite = new OleClientSite(frame, SWT.NONE, f); controlSite.doVerb(OLE.OLEIVERB_INPLACEACTIVATE); } catch (SWTError e) { e.printStackTrace(); System.out.println("Unable to open activeX control"); display.dispose(); return; } shell.open(); // OleAutomation excelSheet = new OleAutomation(controlSite); // int[] dispIDs = excelSheet.getIDsOfNames(new String[] {"Application"}); // Variant pVarResult = excelSheet.getProperty(dispIDs[0]); // OleAutomation application = pVarResult.getAutomation(); // pVarResult.dispose(); // excelSheet.dispose(); // // int eventID = SheetSelectionChange; // OleListener listener = new OleListener() { // public void handleEvent (OleEvent e) { // System.out.println("selection has changed"); // // two arguments which must be released (row and column) // Variant[] args = e.arguments; // for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) { // System.out.println(args[i]); // args [i].dispose(); // } // } // }; // controlSite.addEventListener(application, IID_AppEvents, eventID, listener); while (!shell.isDisposed ()) { if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep (); } //application.dispose(); display.dispose (); } OleClient and OleControlSite give me the same readonly embedded objects. If I leave the event-listner code uncommented, I get a null pointer exception on "new OleAutomation(controlSite);" from the constructor. stacktrace: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.swt.ole.win32.OleAutomation.<init>(OleAutomation.java:124) at com.hewitt.enabler.test.Snippet199.main(Snippet199.java:69) Word/Explorer embed correctly, with no issues.
