Excel.inc?

[Agoston Bejo]

Hi, is there somewhere a file that holds constants for Excel Automation
ActiveX objects, such as adovbs.inc for ADO constants?

Thx

Download and install Mark Pryor's TLViewer utility and you can create
your own include files for COM objects.

You could extract the constants from the typelib and write them
to file:
Option Explicit

Dim fs
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Creates two IncludeFiles
CreateIncludeFile "Excel.Application", "vbs", "C:\xlsConsts.vbs", true
CreateIncludeFile "Excel.Application", "js", "C:\xlsConsts.js", true

Sub CreateIncludeFile (sProgID, scrID, sOutFile, bShowImmediate)
Dim strConsts
strConsts = ReturnTlbEnumsFromProgId (sProgID, scrID)
fs.CreateTextFile(sOutFile, true, 0).Write strConsts
If bShowImmediate Then CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "notepad " & sOutFile
End Sub

Function ReturnTlbEnumsFromProgId (sProgId, scrID)
'Thx Alex ;-)
Dim TLA, TLI, CstEnum, CstObj, CstString, CoCls, vCst, vEndl, vCmt
Set CoCls = CreateObject(sProgId)
Set TLA = CreateObject("TLI.TLIApplication")
Set TLI = TLA.InterfaceInfoFromObject(CoCls).Parent
Call getLangParams (scrID, vCst, vEndl, vCmt)
CstString = BuildIntro (sProgId, TLI.ContainingFile, vCmt)
For each CstEnum in TLI.Constants
If "_" <> Left(CstEnum.Name, 1) Then
CstString = CstString & vbCrlf & vCmt & CstEnum.Name & vbCrlf
For Each CstObj In CstEnum.Members
CstString = CstString & vCst & " " & CstObj.Name _
& " = " & CstObj.Value & vEndl & vbCrLf
Next
End If
Next
ReturnTlbEnumsFromProgId = CstString
End Function

Sub getLangParams (ByVal scrID, ByRef vCst, ByRef vEndl, ByRef vCmt)
Select Case LCase(scrID)
Case "vbs", "vbscript":
vCst = "Const" : vEndl = "" : vCmt = "'"
Case "js", "jscript":
vCst = "var" : vEndl = ";" : vCmt = "//"
Case Else
vCst = "" : vEndl = "" : vCmt = ""
End Select
End Sub

Function BuildIntro (sProgId, srv, vCmt)
BuildIntro = vCmt & String (60, "*") & vbCrLf _
& vCmt & "Enumerated Constants for CoClass """ & sProgID & """" & vbCrLf _
& vCmt & "Extracted from """ & srv & """" & vbCrLf _
& vCmt & String (60, "*") & vbCrLf
End Function
