Method 1Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures. Microsoft Support professionals can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs. If you have limited programming experience, you may want to contact the Microsoft fee-based consulting line at (800) 936-5200. For more information about the support options available from Microsoft, please see the following page on the World Wide Web:http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/overview/overview.aspIf XLOPER does not reference any cells that contain text, use the following function to determine whether to use XlCoerce:
Method 2Instead of using the R data type to pass a range or a cell that may contain text, use the OPER data type (P). This data type does not support references, but it does support arrays, numbers, Boolean values, and errors. For more information about the Register function, see the MicrosoftExcel Software Development Kit (SDK). Method 3When the cells contain text, use Automation to get the values from the cells. You can use the information in a reference XLOPER to build a Range object that you can pass to Microsoft Excel through Automation. When you do this, values in cells are returned to the DLL as a SAFEARRAY, which you can use to build an XLOPER array of values.The 32-bit Generic Framework example for Microsoft Excel in the Microsoft Software Library implements this method. The method is integrated in the Microsoft Excel SDK framework; therefore, it's not necessary to change any code that uses the Excel() wrapper. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q152152 SAMPLE: FRMWRK32.EXE: Updated Generic.xll Template for ExcelTo integrate the framework into another project, use the following steps:
