    Java calling C# or VBA (MS Office API) ?

    Hi,

    I am writing a Java application which among many other things
    has to call some MS Office [PowerPoint] internal methods,
    which only seems to be possible from either VBA or C#.

    Can anybody suggest a way of Java calling VBA or C# ?

    I do know how to call an executable from Java
    or Java interface with C/C++ through JNI.


    Thank you in advance,
    Oleg.

    P.S.: If you know how to call PowerPoint from Java or VC++,
    please speak out too.

      I'm not an expert, but I think that CORBA is usefull for such things.
      That's what told my CORBA teacher...
      Good luck !

          If the 'vba', 'c#', 'c' or 'c++' is made into a '.dll' just
          follow the tutorial information at the Sun web site.

              Liz,

              Could you please post a link to the document on Sun's site ?

              Thank you,
              Oleg.

                  JavaJug,

                  I have done a lot of Java-CORBA-C++ development before
                  and would not recommend that option unless you go from Java to C++
                  over the network, use JNI for that. Too much overhead and very hard to
                  debug.

                  In my case they live on same machine, so the only reason I am doing that
                  is because Microsoft doesn't give any access to Office API through Java
                  (that Sun-Microsoft wars over Java).

                  Thank you,
                  Oleg.

                      They are supposed to be over.

                      Maybe if you ask MS again, nicely... ;-)

                      F'Ups set to c.l.j.programme r, as it
                      was one of only two of the five groups
                      to which this was cross-posted that is
                      actually a valid group.
