ActiveQt QVariant and VC VARIANT

[dbzhang800]

Hello everyone,

I want to call an activeX component through activeQt, but I don't know how to deal with VARIANT.

In VC++ 6;

void DoGo(short nNumberOfAxes, const VARIANT& nAxisArray);

void DoGo(short nNumberOfAxes, const VARIANT& nAxisArray);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

example code:

const int nSize(3); 
 short nAxesArray[nSize] = { 0, 1, 2}; 
 COleSafeArray arrAxes; 
 arrAxes.CreateOneDim(VT_I2,nSize,nAxesArray); 
 MintController1.DoGo (3, arrAxes);

const int nSize(3); 
 short nAxesArray[nSize] = { 0, 1, 2}; 
 COleSafeArray arrAxes; 
 arrAxes.CreateOneDim(VT_I2,nSize,nAxesArray); 
 MintController1.DoGo (3, arrAxes);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In Qt, What I get is:

void DoGo (int nNumberOfAxes, QVariant nAxisArray) [slot] 
 
call the function directly: 
 
	QVariantList params = ... 
	object->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", params);

void DoGo (int nNumberOfAxes, QVariant nAxisArray) [slot] 
 
call the function directly: 
 
	QVariantList params = ... 
	object->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", params);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So, anyone can give me an example code. I don't know how to write params


Please help.

Thanks.

try QString QAxBase::generateDocumentation ()
and find analog COleSafeArray in Qt
may be QVector ?

Documentation string generated by QString QAxBase::generateDocumentation () :

void DoGo (int nNumberOfAxes, QVariant nAxisArray) [slot]
 
For more information, see help context 0 in C:\Program Files\WorkBench v5\MintControls.hlp.
 
Connect a signal to this slot:
 
    QObject::connect(sender, SIGNAL(someSignal(int, QVariant)), object, SLOT(DoGo(int, QVariant)));
 
Or call the function directly:
 
    QVariantList params = ...
    object->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", params);

void DoGo (int nNumberOfAxes, QVariant nAxisArray) [slot]

For more information, see help context 0 in C:\Program Files\WorkBench v5\MintControls.hlp.

Connect a signal to this slot:

    QObject::connect(sender, SIGNAL(someSignal(int, QVariant)), object, SLOT(DoGo(int, QVariant)));

Or call the function directly:

    QVariantList params = ...
    object->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", params);

function generated through dumpcpp -getdoc is:

inline void _DMintControllerCtrl::DoGo(int nNumberOfAxes, const QVariant& nAxisArray)
{
    void *_a[] = {0, (void*)&nNumberOfAxes, (void*)&nAxisArray};
    qt_metacall(QMetaObject::InvokeMetaMethod, 176, _a);
}

inline void _DMintControllerCtrl::DoGo(int nNumberOfAxes, const QVariant& nAxisArray)
{
    void *_a[] = {0, (void*)&nNumberOfAxes, (void*)&nAxisArray};
    qt_metacall(QMetaObject::InvokeMetaMethod, 176, _a);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I try to use QVector, but I don't know how to cast QVector to QVariant

Any suggestion?

[kwisp]

may be
QVariant ( const QList<QVariant> & val )

[dbzhang800]

Thanks for your help. But This still doesnot work.

I get runtime error:

QAxBase: Error calling IDispatch member DoGo: Unknown error

[kwisp]

QVariant qVariantFromValue ( const T & value )
QVariant QVariant::fromValue ( const T & value ) [static]
?
and
QVariant::QVariant ( int typeOrUserType, const void * copy )
void QVariant::setValue ( const T & value )
T QVariant::value () const
?

[kwisp]

show your code please

[dbzhang800]

mint->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", QVariantList()<<3<<QVariant(QVariantList()<<0<<1<<2));

mint->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", QVariantList()<<3<<QVariant(QVariantList()<<0<<1<<2));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Or

short aaa[3] = {0,1,2};
mint->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", QVariantList()<<3<<QVariant(QMetaType::Short,(void *)aaa));

short aaa[3] = {0,1,2};
mint->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", QVariantList()<<3<<QVariant(QMetaType::Short,(void *)aaa));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

will get runtime error:

QAxBase: Error calling IDispatch member DoGo: Unknown error

short aaa[3] = {0,1,2};
    QVariant params;
    params.setValue(aa);

short aaa[3] = {0,1,2};
    QVariant params;
    params.setValue(aa);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

will get compile error:
error C2039: 'qt_metatype_id' : is not a member of 'QMetaTypeId<T>'

short aaa[3] = {0,1,2};
QVariant params;
params.setValue(aa);

may be.

QVector<int> vec;
vec<<10<<20<<30;
QVariant var;
var.setValue(vec);

QVector<int> vec;
vec<<10<<20<<30;
QVariant var;
var.setValue(vec);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

[dbzhang800]

QVector<int> vec;
    vec<<10<<20<<30;
    QVariant var;
    var.setValue(vec);

QVector<int> vec;
    vec<<10<<20<<30;
    QVariant var;
    var.setValue(vec);

but the code still does not work

oh-ho-ho
read about setValue().
assistant tell you about it.

[dbzhang800]

The function info:

DoGo
Named Params = u'nNumberOfAxes, nAxisArray'
Return Type = 'Void'
Argument = 'Integer 2'
Argument = 'Variant'
Function kind = 'Dispatch'
Invoke Kind = 'Function'
Number Optional Params = 0

and i try to use queryInterface.

Other function which without a VARIANT parameter works fine.
But this one, I still do not know how to deal with the VARIANT

IUnknown *iface = 0;
mint->queryInterface(IID_IUnknown, (void**)&iface);
 if (iface) 
{
short axes[3]={0,1,2};
VARIANTARG v[2];
v[1].iVal = 3;
v[1].vt = VT_I2;
v[0].piVal = axes
v[0].vt = VT_BYREF|VT_I2;
 
DISPPARAMS params = {v, NULL, 2, 0};
 
iface->Invoke(dispid, IID_NULL, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD,&params ,NULL, NULL, NULL);
}

IUnknown *iface = 0;
mint->queryInterface(IID_IUnknown, (void**)&iface);
 if (iface) 
{
short axes[3]={0,1,2};
VARIANTARG v[2];
v[1].iVal = 3;
v[1].vt = VT_I2;
v[0].piVal = axes
v[0].vt = VT_BYREF|VT_I2;

DISPPARAMS params = {v, NULL, 2, 0};

iface->Invoke(dispid, IID_NULL, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD,&params ,NULL, NULL, NULL);
}

any idea?

[dbzhang800]

The following code works now.

IUnknown *iface = 0;
mint->queryInterface(IID_IUnknown, (void**)&iface);
 if (iface) 
{
        DISPID dispid;
        OLECHAR * dispname = L"DoGo";
        iface->GetIDsOfNames(IID_NULL, &dispname, 1, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, &dispid);
 
        short axes0[3]={0,1,2};
        SAFEARRAY *axes;
        SAFEARRAYBOUND axesbound[1];
        axesbound[0].lLbound = 0;
        axesbound[0].cElements = 3;
        axes = ::SafeArrayCreate(VT_I2, 1, axesbound);
        for(long index=0;index<3;index++)
        {
            ::SafeArrayPutElement(axes,&index,axes0+index);
        }
 
        VARIANTARG v[2];
        v[1].iVal = 3;  //number of axes
        v[1].vt = VT_I2;
        v[0].parray = axes;
        v[0].vt = VT_ARRAY|VT_I2;
 
        DISPPARAMS params = {v, NULL, 2, 0};
 
       iface->Invoke(dispid, IID_NULL, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD,&params ,NULL, NULL, NULL);
}

IUnknown *iface = 0;
mint->queryInterface(IID_IUnknown, (void**)&iface);
 if (iface) 
{
        DISPID dispid;
        OLECHAR * dispname = L"DoGo";
        iface->GetIDsOfNames(IID_NULL, &dispname, 1, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, &dispid);

        short axes0[3]={0,1,2};
        SAFEARRAY *axes;
        SAFEARRAYBOUND axesbound[1];
        axesbound[0].lLbound = 0;
        axesbound[0].cElements = 3;
        axes = ::SafeArrayCreate(VT_I2, 1, axesbound);
        for(long index=0;index<3;index++)
        {
            ::SafeArrayPutElement(axes,&index,axes0+index);
        }

        VARIANTARG v[2];
        v[1].iVal = 3;  //number of axes
        v[1].vt = VT_I2;
        v[0].parray = axes;
        v[0].vt = VT_ARRAY|VT_I2;
 
        DISPPARAMS params = {v, NULL, 2, 0};
 
       iface->Invoke(dispid, IID_NULL, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, DISPATCH_METHOD,&params ,NULL, NULL, NULL);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but I still do not know hou to deal with it through ActiveQt method.

QVariantList params = ...
    object->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", params);

QVariantList params = ...
    object->dynamicCall("DoGo(int, QVariant)", params);

in files

function
QVariant VARIANTToQVariant(const VARIANT &arg, const QByteArray &typeName, uint type)
help you to understand how yuo must do it.
see the code.
