Often times, people want to refer to constants defined for Microsoft Office products in VBA but those constants are not defined in LotusScript. The following agent will extract the constants for several known Microsoft Office applications and dump them to a script library.
Code: 'TypeLibInfo:
Option Public
Option Declare
Sub Initialize
Const MSO_OLB_PATH = "C\Program FilesMicrosoft Office\Office\" 'Wherever
your MS Office has been installed
Dim fileHandle As Integer
Dim inFilePath As String
Dim outFilePath As String
Dim lcConstantsStr As String
Dim oTLB_INFO As Variant
Dim oConstants As Variant
Dim CRLF As String
CRLF = Chr(13) & Chr(10)
Dim MSApps(7) As String
MSApps(0) = "Microsoft Access 2000 | "
& MSO_OLB_PATH & "MSAcc9.olb"
MSApps(1) = "Microsoft Binder 2000 | "
& MSO_OLB_PATH & "MSBdr9.olb"
MSApps(2) = "Microsoft Excel 2000 | "
& MSO_OLB_PATH & "Excel9.olb"
MSApps(3) = "Microsoft Graph 2000 | "
& MSO_OLB_PATH & "Graph9.olb"
MSApps(4) = "Microsoft Outlook 2000 | "
& MSO_OLB_PATH & "MSOutl9.olb"
