WRQ Reflection/VBA programming

[cshivers]

Does anyone have any experience using VBA with WRQ Reflection? I have tried multiple searches related to WRQ Reflection and VBA with no luck on figureing out how to use VBA to access WRQ Reflection. I cant find how to even connect let alone start sending commands do and from. Right now i am just trying to establish a connection or anything. Any Help is appreciated. Thank you.

i have named my Sheet as yoursheet :D
so that i can execute the code
but its showing error as mentioned above

 

[arimaspi]

sorry missed an S in the code should have been...

LR = Workbooks(WbSource).WorkSheets("yoursheet").

you will need to change all instances of worksheet to worksheets

 

[xcruc1at3r]

still showing error at and is not able to find the Workbook ! object does not support this property or method And Highlights only the word "WorkBooks"
LR = Workbooks(WbSource).WorkSheets("yoursheet").Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row 'FInd the last row

this is straight out of the TNP help for VBE.....

GetObject Function Example

This example uses the GetObject function to get a reference to a specific Microsoft Excel worksheet (<CODE>MyXL</CODE>). It uses the worksheet's Application property to make Microsoft Excel visible, to close it, and so on. Using two API calls, the DetectExcel Sub procedure looks for Microsoft Excel, and if it is running, enters it in the Running Object Table. The first call to GetObject causes an error if Microsoft Excel isn't already running. In the example, the error causes the ExcelWasNotRunning flag to be set to True. The second call to GetObject specifies a file to open. If Microsoft Excel isn't already running, the second call starts it and returns a reference to the worksheet represented by the specified file, mytest.xls. The file must exist in the specified location; otherwise, the Visual Basic error Automation error is generated. Next the example code makes both Microsoft Excel and the window containing the specified worksheet visible. Finally, if there was no previous version of Microsoft Excel running, the code uses the Application object's Quit method to close Microsoft Excel. If the application was already running, no attempt is made to close it. The reference itself is released by setting it to Nothing.

what is TNP Help !! the code it showing in 1 line

 

[arimaspi]

while in your tnp session, click on F11, when the VBE window comes up, click on F2 this should open your object browser, this will allow you to search for the GetObject command, then right click on this command and click on help......

sorry for the late reply forum of out of service
well excel was already running !...but it is not able to find the sheet ! this due to which the loop is not working
the Coding that you gave is like this

' Declare necessary API routines:Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias _"FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName as String, _ ByVal lpWindowName As Long) As LongDeclare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias _"SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd as Long,ByVal wMsg as Long, _ ByVal wParam as Long, _ ByVal lParam As Long) As LongSub GetExcel()

Set MyXL = Getobject(, "Excel.Application") 
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ExcelWasNotRunning = True
Err.Clear ' Clear Err object in case error occurred.
' Check for Microsoft Excel.
If Microsoft Excel is running,' enter it into the Running Object table.

This has been confusing me for two weeks.
I keep seeing user posting code for connecting such as what cshivers did. Next I see users explaining how to use session.

I know that session is the top level object.

I can use VBScript or Excel.

Say I create a connection. How does session know that the connection is available? Does the IDE become aware of Session once the .connection is made?

Thanks,

Kevin
