Qt app crashes when trying to open Word doc that is already opened

[bobbayribs]

Hi all,

I have an app that opens Word docs, parses them, and saves them to text file. Everything works great, except when the Word doc is already opened. Then a popup opens:

File In Use
Do you want to:
Open a Read Only copy
Create a local copy and merge your changes later
Receive notification when the original copy is available

And my app hangs and crashes.

How can I detect a word doc is already opened? Then I just would output an error message, skip opening, and parsing that particular word doc.

my_app = new QAxObject("Word.Application", this);
    QAxObject* my_docs = my_app->querySubObject("Documents");
 
    //Open docxFile
    QString filename(docxFile);
    QVariant confirmconversions(false);
    QVariant readonly(false);
    QVariant addtorecentfiles(false);
    QVariant passworddocument("");
    QVariant passwordtemplate("");
    QVariant revert(false);
 
    QAxObject* doc = my_docs->querySubObject("Open(const QVariant&, const QVariant&,const QVariant&, const QVariant&, const QVariant&, const QVariant&,const QVariant&)", filename, confirmconversions, readonly, addtorecentfiles, passworddocument, passwordtemplate,	revert);
 
    //Pull out active document object
    QAxObject* active_doc = my_app->querySubObject("ActiveDocument");

my_app = new QAxObject("Word.Application", this);
    QAxObject* my_docs = my_app->querySubObject("Documents");

    //Open docxFile
    QString filename(docxFile);
    QVariant confirmconversions(false);
    QVariant readonly(false);
    QVariant addtorecentfiles(false);
    QVariant passworddocument("");
    QVariant passwordtemplate("");
    QVariant revert(false);

    QAxObject* doc = my_docs->querySubObject("Open(const QVariant&, const QVariant&,const QVariant&, const QVariant&, const QVariant&, const QVariant&,const QVariant&)", filename, confirmconversions, readonly, addtorecentfiles, passworddocument, passwordtemplate,	revert);

    //Pull out active document object
    QAxObject* active_doc = my_app->querySubObject("ActiveDocument");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thanks!
