Instance Attribute Details

#visible? ⇒ `Boolean` (readonly)

Returns true if the variable is public.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType')
variables = tobj.variables
variables.each do |variable|
  puts "#{variable.name} #{variable.visible?}"
end

The result of above script is following:

Instance Method Details

#inspect ⇒ `String`

#to_s #name

Alias for #to_s.

#ole_type

Returns OLE type string.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType')
variables = tobj.variables
variables.each do |variable|
  puts "#{variable.ole_type} #{variable.name}"
end

The result of above script is following:
  INT xlChart

variable = tobj.variables.find {|variable| variable.name == 'lFlags'}
tdetail  = variable.ole_type_detail
p tdetail # => ["USERDEFINED", "CONST_D3DCLIPSTATUSFLAGS"]

#to_s Also known as: #name

Returns the name of variable.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType')
variables = tobj.variables
variables.each do |variable|
  puts "#{variable.name}"
end

The result of above script is following:
  xlChart
  xlDialogSheet
  xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet
  xlExcel4MacroSheet
  xlWorksheet

#value

variables = tobj.variables
variables.each do |variable|
  puts "#{variable.name} #{variable.value}"
end

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType')
variables = tobj.variables
variables.each do |variable|
  puts "#{variable.name} #{variable.variable_kind}"
end

The result of above script is following:
