class WIN32OLE::Param

WIN32OLE::Param objects represent param information of the OLE method.

Public Class Methods

new(method, n) → WIN32OLE::Param object

Returns WIN32OLE::Param object which represents OLE parameter information. 1st argument should be WIN32OLE::Method object. 2nd argument ā€˜nā€™ is n-th parameter of the method specified by 1st argument.

tobj = WIN32OLE::Type.new('Microsoft Scripting Runtime', 'IFileSystem')
method = WIN32OLE::Method.new(tobj, 'CreateTextFile')
param = WIN32OLE::Param.new(method, 2) # => #<WIN32OLE::Param:Overwrite=true>
static VALUE
foleparam_initialize(VALUE self, VALUE olemethod, VALUE n)
{
    int idx;
    if (!rb_obj_is_kind_of(olemethod, cWIN32OLE_METHOD)) {
        rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "1st parameter must be WIN32OLE::Method object");
    }
    idx = RB_FIX2INT(n);
    return oleparam_ole_param(self, olemethod, idx);
}

Public Instance Methods

default

Returns default value. If the default value does not exist, this method returns nil.

tobj = WIN32OLE::Type.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook')
method = WIN32OLE::Method.new(tobj, 'SaveAs')
method.params.each do |param|
  if param.default
    puts "#{param.name} (= #{param.default})"
  else
    puts "#{param}"
  end
end

Returns true if the parameter is input.

                               pparam->index, PARAMFLAG_FIN);
}
inspect → String

Returns the parameter name with class name. If the parameter has default value, then returns name=value string with class name.
