Property descriptions

---

OLEParameter.PassByRef

PassByRef As Boolean

If True, the parameter is passed ByRef. The default is False.

---

OLEParameter.Position

Position As Integer

Allows you to specify which position (1-based index) that you want the parameter to be passed in.

This is akin to named parameters, if you know the position of the parameter within the function that you want to call, you can create an OLEParameter object and set its Position property to achieve the same effect. The default value is 0, which means no positioning.

---

OLEParameter.Type

Type As Integer

Specifies the type of the parameter.

Use the following class constants to specify the type:

Class Constant
ParamtypeBoolean
ParamTypeChar
ParamTypeDouble
ParamTypeNull
ParamTypeSigned64Bit
ParamTypeSignedChar
ParamTypeSignedLong
ParamTypeSignedShort
ParamTypeSingle
ParamTypeString
ParamTypeUnsigned64Bit
ParamTypeUnsignedLong
ParamTypeUnsignedShort

Method descriptions

---

OLEParameter.Value

Value As Variant

The value of the parameter. It accepts one-dimensional arrays. It has a getter and setter pair via the Assigns keyword.

---

OLEParameter.ValueArray

ValueArray As Variant()

The value of the parameter if the parameter is a two-dimensional array.

---

OLEParameter.ValueArray

ValueArray As Variant()

The value of the parameter if the parameter is a two-dimensional array.

Notes

This code launches Word and draws a curve in a new document.

Var word As New WordApplication
Var doc As WordDocument
Var param As New OLEParameter
Var pts(3, 1) As Variant
pts(0, 0) = 50
pts(0, 1) = 20
pts(1, 0) = 100
pts(1, 1) = 160
pts(2, 0) = 150
pts(2, 1) = 160
pts(3, 0) = 200
pts(3, 1) = 20

param.Type = OLEParameter.ParamTypeSingle
param.ValueArray = pts

doc = word.Documents.Add
doc.Shapes.AddCurve(param)
word.Visible = True

Compatibility

All project types on all supported operating systems.
