switch to retry error

[nitinmukesh]

Hi,

I am facing a problem with swfkit application.

I embedded the swf in swfkit and added a dll created in VB6. The dll updates a word doc already created and prints the document. As soon as the print dialog appears the swfkit application shows "switch to - retry" COM error message.

The dll when run independently do not produce any error.

I even registered the dll in system and removed from attachment but the error is still present.

Please tell me if there is any way to handle this error?

Thanks,
Nitin

It's complicated as your dll calls Microsoft word via OLE. Maybe you can try to convert the VB code into ffish script, as SWFKit can also modify a word doc

word = new ActiveXObject("word.application");
word.Visible = true;
trace(word.Visible);
word.Documents.Add();
word.Selection.TypeText("This is a test...");
word.Documents[1].SaveAs("c:\\test.doc");
word.Quit();
//Example2 - create an ActivexObjext from file
doc = new ActiveXObject("c:\\test.doc");
doc.SaveAs("c:\\test1.doc");

Thank you very much for your reply.

I will convert it as you suggested and will let you know how it goes.

I tried this but it is not working

MyWord = new ActiveXObject("word.application");
MyWord.Visible = true;
WordDoc = MyWord.Documents.Open(getAppDir()+"Periop101_ROI_T ool.doc")
WordDoc.Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Sho w

The word application opens but Print Dialog box do not show up.

You must first define the wdDialogFilePrint contant

ActiveXObject.dontBeBusy();
wdDialogFilePrint = 88;
MyWord = new ActiveXObject("word.application");
MyWord.Visible = true;
WordDoc = MyWord.Documents.Open(getAppDir()+"Periop101_ROI_T ool.doc")
WordDoc.Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show();

We're trying to add a method "dontBeBusy" to remove the "switch to, retry" dialog box. We'll let you know if it works in a few days.

That will be really cool and thanks for your help.

[nitinmukesh]

This does not solve the problem.

The error can be replicated by selecting/changing the printers in the dialog box.

I attached the screenshot

[SWFKit]

No, the method "dontBeBusy" hasn't been applied yet. We'll test it and the patch to you in a few days.

Still working on it. It should be ready on this Thursday.
