explicitly passing arguments

[dorinbogdan]

Hi,

I need to pass some arguments for a method, and ommit several ones, without using null as default.

var oWord = new ActiveXObject( "Word.Application" );
oWord.visible = false;
oWord.Documents.Add(); 
 
var owRange = oWord.ActiveDocument.Range( 0,0 );
owRange.Text = clipboardTXT;
var owTable = owRange.ConvertToTable( Separator = '\t', , , , , , , , , , , , ,0, 0);

This gives syntax error, because arguments are omitted in ConvertToTable call.

I cannot pass default values, since they are not known at design time.
See more syntax details at ConvertToTable Method.

It seems that passing named arguments using argName:= argValue is not supported in Javascript, like this:

var owTable = owRange.ConvertToTable( Separator = '\t', AutoFitBehavior:=0, DefaultTableBehavior:=0);

If you're going to omit anything, that means that you want the default value for that particular argument.

Find all the default values for each argument. Then set each parameter explicitly.

See if that works.

Thanks acoder,

However there are 3 "default" parameter values calculated for each document at runtime.

For instance:
NumRows/NumColumns - The number of rows/cols in the table. If this argument is omitted, Microsoft Word sets the number of rows/cols, based on the contents of the range or selection.
InitialColumnWidth - The initial width of each column, in points. If this argument is omitted, Word calculates and adjusts the column width so that the table stretches from margin to margin.

Is it not possible to just convert to table with no arguments (because they're all optional). Then set the ones that you need separately on the table object.
