Hi, Rick.

So far, I have explorerd MSDN help, but I can't find how
we catch IDispatch of Word opened already.
So, I think that it is impossible to catch IDispatch.
Therefore, To catch IDispatch is only way to open Word in OLE Automation program, I guess this time.

I guess that you want to write the program to detect Macro virus
like "Melissa". If so, you may change your approach that if the
customer click Word attached in Email, Word will be opended through
OLE Automation program.
However, I have no clue of how to write it?

Hi.

Today, when I am working my project of Excel Automation Loop,
I got some clue.

Before, when we open blank Word, this Word will get word sheet
in the same Word when we click Work document at Window Exploer as well
as Email.

So we open this blank Word in Word Automation, we can catch this
IDispatch. If this Word gets the word sheet, I guess that we can
use LDISPATCH GetItem(VARIANT &Index) in Worker Thread or Timer.
However, I just work Excel Automation, so I didn't check it yet.

Hope for help.

Thanks for the help...

but I'm not shure where you get
LDISPATCH GetItem(VARIANT &Index) form I looked in all the help that I could find but I found not reference to that particular function can you elaberate on its use?

Thanks again Masaaki..

Hi, Rick.

When you make the wrapped class called Excel8.h from Excel8.tlb
you will get LPDISPATCH GetItem(const VARIANT& Index).
Also, check how we open Word in Applicaiton from MS support page.
