I tried the program given in msdn site
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...&NoWebContent=1
In that I tried to open the msword document. While opening the document i am getting "Null reference pointer was passed to the stub". In the code i have indicated the error line. I dont know how to get the word document opened.
Sample Code:

<br />
void CDumDlg::OnRun() <br />
{<br />
	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here<br />
	_Application objWord;<br />
<br />
      // Convenient values declared as ColeVariants.<br />
      COleVariant covTrue((short)TRUE),<br />
                  covFalse((short)FALSE),<br />
                  covOptional((long)DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND, VT_ERROR);<br />
<br />
      // Get the IDispatch pointer and attach it to the objWord object.<br />
      if (!objWord.CreateDispatch("Word.Application"))<br />
      {<br />
         AfxMessageBox("Couldn't get Word object.");<br />
         return;<br />
      }<br />
<br />
      objWord.SetVisible(TRUE);  //This shows the application.<br />
<br />
      Documents docs;//(objWord.GetDocuments());<br />
	  /*docs.Open(COleVariant("C:\\test.doc",VT_BSTR),<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covTrue,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  0,<br />
		  covOptional);<br />
	  objWord.ShowMe();*/<br />
		  <br />
      _Document testDoc;<br />
<br />
<br />
      testDoc.AttachDispatch(docs.Open(COleVariant("C:\\test.doc",VT_BSTR),<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  covFalse,<br />
		  covTrue,<br />
		  covOptional,<br />
		  0,<br />
		  covOptional));<br />
<br />
	  objWord.Quit(covFalse,covTrue,covFalse);<br />
  <br />
}<br />

No wonder you don't know since you don't even know where to post your question. Frown | :(

...... A programming question in the Survey Messageboards! OMG | :OMG:

Isn't anywhere safe anymore ?? Frown | :(

Anyone know if there are keyboards, preferably natural, that have a laptop style finger pad in the middle. That way I can just move the cursor with my thumb.

I think some variants of the Acer Future Keyboard had this (I had a pad-less one).

Just be careful of the giant green breasts Smile | :)

I've seen keyboards with a touch pad built into the wrist rest, below the numeric keypad. I've also seen keyboards with a mouse-nubbin stick built in, but of course I stay away from those. Wink | ;)

I experienced this question recently. The fellow, who had some minor Windoze experience, would close the open application (like Excel) before opening the next application (like the accounting software). When I told him "you don't need to close Excel, you can just leave it open", he said, "wow, that'll save me a ton of time!".

Needless to say, he would have no clue what "window flipping" meant, or the variety of ways in which to "do it".

It's funny what some people will do when they don't understand window management. One time, I was showing a receptionist something at her machine, and I minimized her email app and launched a browser. She got all upset that I'd lost her email. I was all Confused | :confused:

for a couple of seconds until I figured out what she was thinking.

I've had that experience numerous times with "the office girls". What is that makes people think so linear when they use computers, or is it that they just think linear to begin with? Maybe it shouldn't be called "Windows". Maybe it should relate more to what women (eek! sexist remarks follow!!!) are familiar with. How about "Stove Top"? That way, at least they'd get the idea that four things could be "cooking" at one time!

ooo, that's bad. Wink | ;)

I think it's just inexperience. Our brains can only concentrate on one thing at a time (that's why driving whilst talking on a cell phone is dangerous, if you concentrate on the call you can't concentrate on the road). There's nothing to suggest that a computer is any different, until someone comes along and says "you can just minimize Excel" Wink | ;)

... is those little pencil-eraser nubbin thingies on laptop keyboards. Mad | :mad:

Gawd how I hate those. I have great coordination and dexterity, yet I find it absolutely impossible to use them. Dead | X|

I am quite the opposite. I love the little pencil-eraser-thingy-that-gets-extra-dirty-while-you-use-it nubbin.

I can't STAND touchpads... And I hate it when a laptop comes with both and won't let you turn the touchpad off... My FFS, coupled with the touchpad, tends to make me do bad things to my computer... (like format a drive, accidently delete files, etc.)

You're right, we are opposites. I Heart | [heart]

the touchpads, especially how you can tap the pad to do a mouse click. Cool | :cool:

I don't like touchpads, especially the touch-click option cuz sometimes I drag my files or folders somewhere else while I don't want to move Smile | :)

I think small ones like pen-rubbers are better than touchpads. However, I agree on that nothing can take the place of normal mouses.

P.S. Normal mouses=wireless,optical,at least 2 buttons,1roller Smile | :)

Eek! | :eek:

You have no idea how many times I've clicked something I didn't mean to. D'Oh! | :doh:

I agree. Rubber sticky thingy over a track pad anyday. Though neither come close to a good old mouse.
