For the code below, for both appWord and gappWord, I get the error
"Public member 'GetType' on type 'ApplicationCla ss' not found"
I realize the test for appWord is superflous as the parameter is passed in
as a known type, but gappWord is has a scope of the class, so a test of the
type is valid (making believe the sub does not know the pre-ordained type).
TypeOf returns Word.Applicatio n.
TypeName returns ApplicationClas s.
Am I using GetType correctly?
Private Sub CheckGetType(By Ref appWord As Word.Applicatio n)
With lstOut
Try
Dim strType As String = appWord.GetType .ToString
.Items.Add("Get Type: Detected " & strType)
Catch ex As Exception
.Items.Add("Get Type(1): " & ex.Message)
End Try
Try
Dim strType As String = gappWord.GetTyp e.ToString
.Items.Add("Get Type: Detected " & strType)
Catch ex As Exception
.Items.Add("Get Type(2): " & ex.Message)
End Try
End With
End Sub

Howard,
I'm not sure what it is you're trying to do, but you can type case using the
CType function, like this:
Dim strType As String = CType(appWord, Object).GetType .ToString

Thanx.
I'll give it a try.
I had thought about casting, but I'm trying to detect the type, so casting
seemed inappropriate.

Is Word.Applicatio n an Interface?
If so, it would have to /explicitly/ include a GetType function for you
to use it in this way.
GetType( appWord )
/might/ do what you want (haven't tried it, I'll admit), or you could use
DirectCast( appWord, Object ).GetType
instead. GetType is definitely defined for an Object and /every/
reference Type derives from Object.
I had thought about casting, but I'm trying to detect the type, so casting seemed inappropriate.
Don't confuse "casting" with "converting ". Casting tells the compiler
Take *this* and treat it like one of *those*
as in
DirectCast( appWord, Object )
(I recommend DirectCast over CType, because the latter tries to be
"clever" and do type conversions for you as well).
Converting /would/ lose the original type information, something like
Dim dtThen as Date = CDate( "2001-01-01" )
Dim sThen as String _
= dtThen.ToString ()
HTH,

Word.Applicatio n in the ProgID for Word.
If so, it would have to /explicitly/ include a GetType function for you to use it in this way.
GetType( appWord )
That's what I was using. /might/ do what you want (haven't tried it, I'll admit), or you could use
DirectCast( appWord, Object ).GetType
instead. GetType is definitely defined for an Object and /every/ reference Type derives from Object.
I used CType and the problem was resolved.
DirectCast would likely work too.
My concern was hat I had to cast using GetType, but not with TypeOf or
TypeName. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi
I'm using the word.applicationclass within my vb.net application to convert
some word documents to text files.
Is there anyway I can disable macros whilst loading the document, in Word I
can do that by running winword /a, but not sure how to add the switch using
the word.applicationclass object.
Thanks
